Advice to admins though, when you say you're making a ruling on this or any matter, it helps to post it as a separate thread or an announcement, so you know, people will treat it as an actual decisions rather than you just thinking aloud/mulling it over/trolling.
If you ask for my personal opinion though, if it is indeed your final solution (lol) to decide not to replay the game, then it makes a complete mockery of the competition we're meant to be playing in. The RFL Cup, League, or indeed any competition in Haxball can only ever derive its legitimacy from the way they are organised and handled; i.e. all teams have to be treated fairly and consistently, and there cannot be seen to he any bias towards or against any of the teams from the admins to make winning the competition mean anything. As soon as the cup becomes anything more than the ability for one team to demonstrate their technical and tactical superiority over another then the tournament as a haxball competition begins to become meaningless.
I think it is obvious for any to see that the waters have been muddied sufficiently in the cup final for it not to have been just a show of who was better at haxball. If you're still not sure about that then ready my other breezeblock of teext in the Match Reports thread
. In short, the cup should be a competition purely about haxball, and when things like poor refereeing and unwillingness to play sportingly in a game with only pride at stake it rather loses its credibility :s.
One other thing I ought to mention, you talk about people complaining and crying as if us continuing to bang on about the subject makes our grievances any less legitimate, but I and I think the rest of my former TH teammates get the impression you haven't really considered the matter properly. I know it might make you feel good inside about getting one over on TH, and the public may even share that feeling, but there's really no need to go all Iron Lady on this and refuse to make any turn on the matter.
You still have time to correct this aberration, and I hope that we'll be able to get to the right place in the end.
