Hello, just got back from a 2:00 KO (U21)
Pitch inspection was generally fine, slightly muddy patches, but no standing water, generally clear markings, and secretaries and managers were both happy to play the game.
No rain or problems in terms of the weather, and called HT, 2-0.
During HT, rain became torrential, and we kicked back off, hoping it would clear quickly. In the 50th minute, I paused the game at a goal kick, and spoke to both coaches, informing them I reckoned conditions might become dangerous, and asking them on their opinions.
Within 4 minutes of that, in the 54th minute, I abandoned the game. There was no standing water, but I felt like conditions were dangerous, and players were losing control. After this, I was surrounded by the losing team, demanding I make sure the game is replayed. I informed them I'd report the facts to the league, who will decide the outcome.
Was the way I handled the various aspects of this acceptable?
