Game abandoned in the 89th minute due to serious injury to a Darlington player. Boston were 2-0 up at the time.

Darlington defender Nicky Hunt getting injured. Horrible for the player and the Club, especially after seeing the Darlington Manager Alun Armstrong being interviewed on BBC 2 last night on the FA Cup Draw. Darlington have a brilliant tie away at Bristol Rovers.
Andrew Adebowale, Hannah, Hoskins, Kirkup, Mainwaring, Tucker, Wollen.
Danny ANDREW, Jake ANDREWS.

Poor chap, hope he’s okay. Collided with his own player? A bit like our lads tonight, O’Sullivan & Morgan was it? Hope both are okay and no ill effects after it.

We would like to update you on the serious injury to Darlington defender Nicky Hunt.
Following an incident on the field near the end of the match, Nicky was left unconscious and needed lengthy treatment for a head injury from the physios of both clubs and medical staff.
He was taken to hospital at 11pm by ambulance.
We would like to thank the excellent care and prompt action which was taken by the physios of both clubs, and the Darlington FC safety staff and stewards.
Our thoughts are with Nicky and his family.
We will update everybody when we can

I was a bit concerned for Ronnie when he went down and stayed down. The only consolation for him was that it was Ben Morgan' head and not Liam Daly's.
Hopefully he's OK, not least as we are going to need him for Saturday with Kalvin Donson suspended.
Bloody hell, you've got good eyesight!

Daly has got a head like a munitions factory. If that noggin makes contact with you then send for a priest.
Surely Boston will get the 3 points, would seem unfair otherwise. I guess that there are rules around this that might give clear definition, and perhaps even logarithmic tables. I could probably find them with a Google search, but I can't be arsed.

You would like to think that common sense especially in the circumstances will hold sway here. Darlo fans were saying on Twitter that Boston deserved the points.

Maybe Brandman can enlighten us?

Games have been abandoned and results stood before - West Brom at Bramall Lane in 2002 for example. That game was abandoned in the 82nd minute with West Brom 3-0 up.
Common sense should dictate here, but we all know there's usually very little of that when it comes to these sots of decisions.
