Match Report

The match was ordered to be replayed due to the referee not playing sufficient stoppage time. The Staffordshire Sentinel from 8th November 1913 reported:

It transpires that through some cause or other the referee's watch went wrong, and during the last four minutes of the game he used that belonging to the linesman. The linesman informed the referee that there were four minutes to go, and upon this the referee stopped the game when the four minutes had expired.

The commission who dealt with the matter...had abundant evidence that from the time the second half started until the blowing of the whistle for time only 45 minutes had expired. There had been at least four stoppages, one caused through the bursting of the ball, two others through injuries to players, one of whom was attended by the referee, and an alleged assault on the South Liverpool linesman.

No deduction of time had been made for these stoppages, and the commission could come to no other conclusion than that the full time had not been played."
