I was 99% sure you were quoting satire, but if there's anything I know about the world nowadays, it's that the Onion has a hard time coming up with more risible things than real life is providing. So I googled, just to be on the safe side, and now I am sad with everything.fivepointer wrote:In an unprecedented, highly controversial move, Bath are writing to the organisers of the Heineken Champions Cup demanding a replay of their game against Toulouse last Saturday that they lost by two points.
“I think the game should be replayed,” Bruce Craig, the Bath owner, told The Times, “and we will do what we can to get equity.”
Bath lost the game 20-22. However, the club feels aggrieved on two counts. The final whistle was blown when there were still a few seconds on the clock and when Bath had just won a lineout close to the Toulouse tryline. The game should have been played on and Bath should have been allowed one last crack at winning the game.
