- The rule also applied last season, so I think the team should be aware of this, says Anna-Karin Larsson, competition manager at the association, to the bandy site Bandypuls.
It is the association's competition regulations on the number of replacements that have been overlooked by Vänersborg.
You can only have five players on the bench if the youngest is born in 2003 or later, ie is a junior.
But on Vänersborg's bench was the youngest Samuel Baatz who was born in 2002.
As far as I know, no exemption has been submitted or approved regarding this.
This is on the competition committee's table to look at on Monday, says competition manager at the association, Anna-Karin Larsson, to Bandypuls.
If the committee follows the rules, the result will change from 6-4 to Vänersborg to a 5-0 victory for Sirius.
- We played a bandy match and managed to win.
This will be quite unfortunate in retrospect.
It would be funny if it was something other than a loss, rules are rules, says Vänersborg's team captain Simon Blomqvist.
"Rules to follow"
In Sirius, of course, you receive two points without complaining.
- It is unfortunate of course and I understand the frustration at Vänersborg.
But it is very noisy of everyone involved, says Sirius Ted Bergström to SVT Sport.
Bergström knows how it feels to be punished for offenses that may seem outside the game itself.
- Me, I have been with that we got a red card because our goalkeeper had the wrong shirt.
The two-goal shooter in Sirius thinks it feels a little strange if they get the victory but still natural.
- We will be happy for two free points.
Rules are there to be followed.
And in this case, it's pretty clear, otherwise you might as well drop the rules.
