This one keeps bubbling nicely with a Boro fan now gunning for Derby and calling for a points deduction and fine.

Derby have done wrong and shouldn't get away with their actions - but I prefer to see fans of clubs in the play-off fight with Derby taking the lead when demanding punishment from the EFL.
It won't come to anything, but the pressure and bad publicity may keep other clubs honest in the future.
Signed sealed delivered 👍Quote:

getting a bit silly now, leave it to the EFL to sort. If Derby get away with flexing the rules then so be it. would be a nice gesture to refund the travelling fans though.Quote:

Totally agree. The travelling fans have my sympathy, and hopefully they will be recommpenced but this is getting ridiculous now.Quote:

This should now be left in the hands of the EFL.
1,074 signatures now.
I'm sure that if it gets to 1500 the European Court of Human Rights will have to consider it.
Take that, Derby!
Its all very well being cynical about a protest, petition etc but why shouldn't fans protest? We all know they pushed for a postponement.
There are many other things fans should protest about also.
Some prefer to roll over onto their backs waiting for there stomach to be scratched.

It's clubs like Middlesbrough, the wurzels, Preston and Sheffield United who are hardest hit by the postponement not a team who are chasing automatic promotion - I don't blame the Boro fan at all for starting a petition.
I've signed it anyway.
Lots of conflicting information flying about now, just to confuse matters. Everybody knows the truth, Derby called it off because they had a crap team available for the game.
If only the EFL weren't faffing about and sorted it out straight away instead of issuing a statement on Sunday without investigating the facts, all this escalation probably wouldn't have happened. All we need now are petitions from all the other play-off contenders which if I am not wrong could just about happen.

Nearly up to 1500 now
Agreed. It’s easy for us to say let it go, these other clubs are the ones that really stand to be affected by Derby’s cheating.Quote:

Joking aside, if some football mad MP raises it with the minister for sport they will have to do something. questions to ministers are regarded as serious things, whatever the subject.Quote:

Points deduction for Derby? No. Petition for that is ridiculous. It will not benefit CCFC at all.
Compensation for City fans? Yes. That is a bigger issue IMHO
That's not as funny as your previous one.Quote:

3,789 and rising.
There was a petition to make memes a form of art in the UK. NOT sure how many signed it, probably a load more than this one, it was laughed out, like this one would be if it got anywhere.
Cardiff could be hardest hit if they failed to get 3 points in the re-arranged fixture and lost out on automatic promotion by up to 3 points. Villa or Fulham would be the most likely teams to benefit if this was the case.Quote:
