Coppell happy to replay Watford game

Steve Coppell has agreed to the idea of a replay of the 'Ghost Goal' match on Saturday. He told the official club website:

If the authorities decide a replay is the correct thing to do then I've got no objections whatsoever.

He went on to say that he felt bad for Watford and wants to make amends. This sounds like common sense and I hope it's looked at seriously as an option by the Football League. Whilst I don't think it's fair that we should be criticised for not doing something else in the heat of the moment on Saturday, I do feel this is as fair a solution as is possible now, and as the controversy grows this would put paid to the crazy notion that the Royals are somehow as culpable as the officials for the whole sorry mess.
