Nothing in there about having to have a certain reason for applying rule 8.38. Just walk off the pitch if you’re losing.
“In the event of a match being abandoned due to the conduct of one Club or its members or supporters, the Board has the power to order that either: (a) the original match stands as a completed match, (b) the match is replayed (and the terms upon which the match is replayed), or (c) the match is not replayed, and to award either one or three points to the Club not at fault. The Board cannot levy a financial penalty due to the conduct of a Club.”
Suggests they would have been well within their “rules” to award us a 2-1 win as a “completed match”.
