Less than 7 players...

I know a game cannot continue once the ball is out of play when one or both teams have only 7 players on the pitch but what happens to that game?

Is it rescheduled, or are the points awarded to the team left with most players on the pitch?

"Players", unlike people, are divisible.

Masuaku is a whole person, but less than half a player

Was that the game where Wrighty smashed up the refs changing room?

We ended a game against Leeds with 8 men, I am sure we ran out of time to get two more sent off. Redknapp I am sure gave the nod to self implode.

Syd, yeah I remember that, Colin Wanker was involved as I remember?

Unless you are one of the big clubs and then you are awarded the match because clearly the opposition have been too rough causing injuries or the referee didn't read the script before the game and sent the wrong players off.
