***Copa Sudamerican***

argentines are G*Y - just as the chileans say

Something has clearly kicked off in the changing rooms. I wouldn't be surprised if this game wasn't replayed. However CONMEBOL - unlike our own beloved FA - took a very quick decision.

you sure on river, bingo?

The more I'm hearing about it, the more I'm thinking fair play to Tigre. It's supposed to be a ****g game, not downtown Beirut.

argentines g*y

we have the falklands because they are cowards

I possibly agree. I certainly think it's unfair on them that they've had the tie awarded against them so quickly.

bad news people had an email back from Betfair: Markets in the Sao Paulo v CA Tigre match were suspended due to suspected security problems.

The game will now be subject to the Betfair 3 day rule.

Out of interest what would BF do in the instance that a team receives 4 red cards game is finished and the other team wins 3-0. Would BF pay out on bets?

how can it go to three days when they know it has been full timed?

tell me about it :(

WTF!?!?

River v Belgrano definitely paid out - I remember there was lots of seething about it on the match fred at the time, including by myself. San Martin v Velez this year was voided though.

The riots started late on in the River game though, so it's not really comparable to this situation.

there still allowing time for the game to be replayed even tho it will not.

if you have precedent..

Three-day rule does not mean it definitely will take three days to settle, but that it could take up to three days.

they are trying to fudge

Have they not just seen the South American FA president award the trophy to SP!?!

well we'll see, every time its happened to me its been just more than 2 days at least... so not happy really... should be some common sence. The games finished and result decided, lets crack on not have a game suspended for f**kin ages

agreed - betfair should grow up!

I know its slightly different but I wonder how the bookies have dealt with this?

apparently bet365 has paid out to a SP win

Just reading some background, it sounds like the stadium security staff assaulted the Tigre players then the police came in and pointed their guns at the Tigre players!

FIFA really should threaten them with international ban or something.. Too much corruption over a game of football, mainly over betting scandals...

One of the Tigre officials told Fox he filmed the incident but then deleted it. Perhaps something is lost in translation but that does sound mental.

It's 12:30 am in SP so no official statements are going to be released at this time

Can't see BF sorting this out until tomorrow night at the earliest

as if you would delete incriminating evidence

I WANT MY MONEY!!!

I'd layed Tigre I just want my stake back before Sunday!

I wanted it for friday at least....

that must be a big stake - i backed SP at 1.40

didnt you think about cashing out at 2-0 isright?

It is simple - tigre went to wreck the game; completely failed and refused to come out. I didnt cash out but reduced my liability by back tigre when the went out

I WANT MY MONEY!!!

ahhh.... damn dude... well lets hope someone intelligent at betfair sorts this

well frasier is on at 3.45 so that will calm me down

must be thinking of different games just looked it up - this match was payed out

27/06/2011   Soccer / River Plate v Belgrano

Think that was the play off game bingo.....off the top of my head,Velez Sarsfield were involved in the game im on about

could be wrong though

lol :D

Well, it's not like u deserve to get it back so I wouldn't complain!

Did it suspend bang on half time? When the scuffle started on the pitch or did I miss a chance to green at the break? I realise I will probably not get the green but at least my stake wouldn't be tied up

the differential is...refusing to play versus game abandoned for weather, crowd, floodlights etc

Erm the team I layed were losing 2-0 last time I checked and I was winning, why shouldn't I expect my stake back!?!

for technical purposes if the ref blows for full time at whatever point, then that surely means, from a technical point, that he considers the game to have gone 90mins and injury time. That is what constitutes a ful time. Agree anyone?

Tigre making complaints to officials and police now according to twitter

Not going to be resolved anytime soon

How can you possibly have 90 minutes play when one team doesn't come out for the second half?

from the principle that a full time implies 90mins. so if he blows for full time it is for administration purposes considered 90mins

addicted: It suspended when the brawl broke out and then reopened. It suspended again about a minute or so after the commentator said it was abandoned. It did give people plenty of time to reduce their liability. As soon as he said it was abandoned I cancelled all my unmatched bets.

i went to make beans on toast - i saw non of this

I have sympathy that you're not going to get paid out - I'm in the same boat - but I'd give up searching for a loophole, there's no way this is going to be anything other than voided.

Cheers Darlo

I went to grab a drink and come back for a nice relaxing second half

i cant agree, if i do, then the betfair aparachiks will use it against me

Apparently, Tigre were assaulted before the match, weren't allowed to warm up, and it seems the referee took the decision to call the game off.

The ref put his hands up in the air and blew the whistle - full time

Can someone please dust off the head in hands man?

Lol.

in the literature it says '90 minutes of play according to the match officials' ... if he blows the whistle for full time he considers it 90mins! Am i right or am i right?

You love me really.

I hate having to deposit at the best of times but I begrudge having to do it because of the 3 day rule

I just wish BF make a swift decision and void or pay out. Gonna be a joke if we have to wait a few days and then they just void it anyway.

Surely with everything that has gone on tonight they won't be able to arrange a replay without a thorough investigation first.

Sao Paulo lawyers are claiming that Tigre tried to raid the Sao Paulo changing room before the security got involved.

The Tigre video must have been deleted because there was something incriminating against them

just been talking to a guy on betfair and he says that if conmebol declare it as a two nil win for sao paulo then he believes that they will settle bets with that result.

you were probs talking to a suspend monkey on a tea break

Both teams are now on their winter breaks so there won't be a desperate need to rush the rematch if there is one.

The second half could be played in the first week in Jan no problem after the lawyers have fought it out

and you would get more sense out of a monkey tbf

nice 27 hour drive home for the Tigre fans

Press are reporting as sao paulo awarded trophy...no need to talk about lawyers, though; like they have the rule of law over there!

tbh there is no rule governing this kind of mess and no precedent of a game being awarded at half time. Therefore common sense dictates that the goal/score markets be voided. Probably the match/handicap markets too if they have any sense.

guy i spoke to was australian...if that helps?

Don't worry. They won't.

just to say - they may arrest you for that comment

*yawn* anyone wish we never got involved in this damn match ;)

My two bets on the match were +1.5 first half goals which has been correctly settled and 3-1 @15.5 which was in with a shout when I went to sleep after the first bet came in.

this match was over 8 hours ago and my under 4.5 goals bet is still on my current bets list and I haven't been paid. What's the hold up??

SO any news on when the markets will be settled?

I'm trying to find out folks - soon as I know something, I'll post it.

No notice of what happening with the match but plenty news on Kauto Star leaving his Stable? Went to bed they were 2 up woke up expecting to see nice balance when seen not there thought they must have been beat. Hope it gets settled as wanted good bet on Chelsea at 1.5.

I BACKED SP -1.5. WILL I BE PAID AS OBVIOUSLY CALLED OFF AT HALF TIME ALTHOUGH WAS IMMEDIATELY DECLARED FULLTIME RESULT, EVEN ON BETFAIR IN PLAY?

Backed with Ladbrokes and the winnings were there at 8am when I checked so hope thats a good sign for any Sao backers.Cant believe they take this long to get it sorted.Should be set rules in place.

Its a full time result, they are champions, its being reported everywhere except on betfair that the result of 2-0 stands

Guys ,  "Betfair rules" states the following:
" If a match starts but is later abandoned or postponed and is not completed (i.e. 90 minutes of play according to the match officials, plus any stoppage time) within three days of the scheduled start date, all bets will be void except for those on markets which have been unconditionally determined. "
It happened many times in the past and bets were settled according to this rule.

So when were they settled? All my bank is tied into this match at the moment

JUST SPOKE TO CUSTOMER SERVICES. THEY'RE WAITING FOR CONFIRMATION OF THE RESULT FROM THE OFFICIAL AUTHORITIES ALTHOUGH I WATCHED THE TROPHY BEING PRESENTED WHICH LOOKED QUITE OFFICIAL!! ALSO TOLD THEY EXPECT ALL MARKETS TO BE VOIDED. WHY CAN'T GAMES BE ABANDONED WHEN I'M LOSING!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/dec/13/copa-sudamericana-final-aband...

just emailed me, that the bets are voided! koontz.

yes if its abandoned then even tho the team was givent the trophy its not a result according to match rules

all markets closed now

Not saying you're lying but when I checked the results on the Laddies website it shows everything bar the half time markets as voided

betfair returned my money

overs bets voided

Refunded money, I had Sau Paulo to win at 1.36

wasn't involved in this but what is extremely annoying is the river belgrano match was stopped at the 87th minute (i was involved in that game) yet betfair still settled even though 90 minutes weren't played.

they can't just change the rules when they feel like it surely

I had redded out for a 6.2k loss thank you crazy gun men and tigre players

sounds like i should have stayed up, i layed 00 ht and got paid anyways

Surprised there's no comment I can see on the forum for the REASON for this match being abandonded?!

Tigre are saying that the Sau Paulo security came into the dressing room at HT, whacked them with batons and threatened them with guns, so they refused to play on!!!!
