FIFA insist there will be no replay

Thursday, 19 November 2009 14:47

FIFA have confirmed this morning that there will be no replay between the Republic of Ireland and France following calls for the game to be replayed.

According to The Guardian website, FIFA has confirmed that there is no chance of the game being replayed, refering to Law 5 in the official rules of the game which states that the referee has 'full authority to enforce the Laws of the Game in connection with the match to which he has been appointed,' and that 'the decisions of the referee regarding facts connected with play are final.'

The law seems to rule out any possibility of the game being replayed.
