No. He thought about it but then said 'Fuck you City, Country before Club'!
He didn't really, as you could guess he takes his national team seriously and it's something he is proud of doing. Winning a trophy for them is something he feels he must achieve, and rightly so.

Does anybody confirm if the Ivory Coast were awarded the points, it just seems to say 'abandoned' on everything I've read?

ivory coast were 2-0 up at the time right? I think if the tie is only abandoned, that is a massive fuck you to ivory coast ... and a ridiculous precedent to set going forward.

Senegal will have to forfeit the tie, there's no other outcome.

In terms of abandoned games, I believe it has to have passed the 60 or 75 minute mark(can't remember which) in order for the result to stand.

You may be missing something, yes. Having the tie abandoned means they would have to play it again? I may be wrong on that ... but as Ivory coast had pretty much sealed the tie off being up 2-0, then yea, I'd say that's a fuck you to Ivory coast. (if i am correct about them having the replay if it's abandoned)
Obviously I am of the opinion that the 2-0 should stand and all that entails.

couple of things:
Ivory Coast are through to the finals and Senegal are not:
Official CAF sitesecondly: how the feck does Côte d'Ivoire become CDV ?
thirdly: it's a dangerous competition isn't it? I hope the worst is over
Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

70 minutes, I believe. Could be wrong though.
In a J-League game abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch after 82 minutes two years ago (?), they played the final eight minutes on a different day. Fans got in free. The score stayed the same. It was Kawasaki v Kashima, if memory serves. Findable on the net perhaps. But that's the J-League, which is in a little footballing universe of its own.

Could be that, I remember the commentators going on about it during the Burnley game a couple of seasons back when we were 3-0 up in 6 minutes or something. Pretty torrential downpour and the ball was getting caught in lakes by the fish spawning there.

That sodding weather stopped us getting into double figures - we were all over them and threatening to run up a cricket score.

mmmhh... unnecessary roughness on the QB, to say it in Yankees' style.
1. "unintelligible language"
2. "ACID QUEEN"
3. "never once fails to turn a football thread into a himseelf thread"
4. "thumbs stalker often resulting in repetitive thumb strain"
5. ignore the cunt. he's on permantent wum mission. only TIDs may know City
You'd need to make a very good psychiatrist in order to guess what next in a eight yrs long line of hatred...
In Roger Ailes/Donnie Drumpf's words: "don't know it for a fact, but many people say so..."
there must be some truth, then!
