i wonder why?
Even if the EFL do find in our favour what will/can they do to stop this happening again?
1. Award us a 2-0 win. never going to happen!!
2. Make them play the team from today. too early for team sheets to be handed in so their entire squad passes a late fitness test!!
3. Deduct them 3 points. helps everyone below us
4. Hide in the snow drift that Derby tweeted. MOST LIKELY OUTCOME.
EFL you integrity is in pieces.
We've clearly been stitched up as a club and fans, but there are enough grey areas to mean nothing can be done about it.
It's a shame but these things happen and every club in Derby's situation, including us, would probably have done the same thing. It's competitive sport and you take every advantage you can.
Nothing was guaranteed anyway so we just have to get on with it and see where we end up.
I think Neil's made his point. Time now to get the team home and try and give some tired limbs a rest. I just hope we haven't lost any momentum after the break. As a few people have pointed out our players will have had a few more days to recover than everyone else so hopefully this helps us in the final run-in.
In the end we come and watch the football for the drama and excitement. This has certainly added some spice to the end of season and might just give the lads that tiny little extra incentive they need to get us over the promotion line.
I fancy this is going to develop into a new rivalry, in a similar way as the one with Dirty Leeds.
The ref has the final call on the game regarding the safety & ability for the game to progress (frozen, waterlogged, fog, etc), but the Safety Advisory Group (which should include the club safety & security chiefs, police & council safety people) have the say on the safety of persons traveling / attending the area.
Some Derby fans are moaning that we did the same thing to them for an early kickoff a few years ago. I remember being in my mates car on the way to the ground and we heard on the radio that it was called off...along with almost every other bastard fixture that was supposed to be played in the whole bloody U.K
Apart from a rugby match and some women's matches, what else was called off yesterday? Some great pics btw, keep 'em coming.
