Abandoned Matches

[Everhelpful]

If a Match is Abandoned do Red and Yellow Cards issued in that Game still stand?
Thanks for any replies.

Yes they do everhelpful
The reason is because a game can be abandoned if one or both teams go down to 6 players due to sendings off or injury(as was the case in the "Battle of Bramall Lane")
I suppose if a team was losing heavily and decided if they could get enough players to be sent off and get the game abandoned a replayed game would be unfair on the team that was winning.

Thanks,Mighty,I just wondered because any Goals scored are wiped off a Players Record.I think it happened to Denis Law who had scored 5 in the 60's in a Cup-Tie, which was lost when the game was replayed.Once again Thank You for your response.

I rermember reading about that Cup match..I think Law scored 6 for Man City against Luton and the game was abandoned..They lost the replayed fixture as well!
