Why charlton game abandoned

But with rain lashing down and puddles of water forming on the pitch, Collins decided to suspend play - much to the away side's disgust. Eight Charlton groundstaff with pitchforks were joined by Doncaster players James Husband and Robinson as they tried to clear the pitch of standing water. When play resumed after a minute break, Simon Church pulled a goal back for the hosts when he smashed home a loose ball in the box. And their hopes were further boosted when Keegan was sent off for two yellow cards just before the interval.

But the match was then abandoned at the break as Collins decided the pitch had deteriorated to such an extent that player safety had become an issue. Addicks manager Chris Powell had sympathy with Dickov. But we were ready to go out," Powell added. It's tough. The game ends after 49 minutes after Gaz Median Medias withdraw in protest at their two red cards.

It finishes Charlton. Match report should be good! The match was due to be a minute affair, but it fell 21 minutes short when Lyle Taylor was brought down in the box, leading to disgraceful scenes which included two players from the Romanian top-flight side man-handling the referee early in the second half. Unhappy at the decision, the visiting staff urged the referee to let them simply sub the offending players off, something which the Addicks were happy to agree with, but the referee insisted in playing to the letter of the law, resulting in Medias withdrawing their players and the match being abandoned.

Just nine minutes after the restart, Taylor was bundled for what was a contentious penalty. It is claimed that Kerr has 'quite a severe rib injury but nothing else. She was having trouble breathing so was placed on oxygen by United's medical staff. A statement from Charlton says that 'the club will not know the full extent of the injury until a full scan has been completed.

Thanks for your support. A subsequent tweet says that news of Charlotte Kerr's condition will be shared as soon as they have more information. Charlotte Kerr went down after a collision with the goalkeeper and had to receive treatment. A big thank you to our fans who travelled.

There has been controversy in the aftermath of the incident over why there was not an ambulance already at the ground in case of emergency. Unlike in the Premier League, it's not obligatory to have an ambulance on site for games such as this one, and Kerr was forced to wait for some time before one arrived.
