This is the most emotional season ... Six days a week dragged down daily by horrible news, but the team lift us up every Saturday.

Live footage of EFL HQ: 

If it didn't that one did!!!!!!

A day that started with hope that we were about to confirm PB status ends with more misery & one of our best players leaving. Only at this club.
The EFL can openly lie in their statements they are not getting involved but by insisting the matters with Parmo parasite & Waitrose parasite are concluded before we can move to PB status, they are guaranteeing both clubs a settlement without DCFC having the opportunity to fight them. Its an abuse of their power & furthermore the inevitable stalemate is in contravention of insolvency law in not allowing recompense of creditors because of speculative claims with no legal or contractual weight. @i-Ram is completely correct that this needs injunctive relief to force the EFL to back down. Given the additional aggravating factors of conflict of interest within the EFL & their constant shifting of the goalposts throughout the process, Im confident this would be a quick decision in our favour.
We talk about what can be done as fans, crowdfunding legal representation may be a good start. I would say that Mr Morris should be at the head of that queue given his role in this bloody mess.

Wasn't it the situation that the "case" between Derby and Boro and Wycombe has to be settled via a League Arbitration Panel. Why has that not been arranged / held yet as clearly there is considerable urgency to getting this resolved. Who is responsible for arranging this LAP meeting?

Bit of relief on this crappy day , just overheard my dad screaming down the phone at someone, he’s only gone and got through to  the EFL’s head office ??  

Owen…….blink twice if you are in danger!

It rhymes.

I was the opposite - went to see my poorly dad and hubby rang me on way home to kindly inform me of their goals. Walked in lounge and we scored the first within 30 seconds! Great 10 mins! Was great end to difficult afternoon

On their forum one poster wanted to know how we could still afford a team packed with “big names”, given our troubles?

Sat quietly in with the Reading fans until that wonderful equaliser went in and completely forgot where I was, punching the air.  Cover blown but duck it. 
What fight, guts and passion this team show. Never giving up. Cannot remember being more proud of our team after their recent performances. 

Just before he scored there was a delightful diagonal run across the box and controlled the ball with aplomb. He’s a better footballer than we sometimes give him credit for. 

They are not a “creditor” at all. There is no contract between the parties no invoice for services or products. This is a speculative claim for unproven damages. If I sent in a claim for a stiff neck from watching hoofball  in the Boro fixture at Pride Park would I become a creditor? 

I would hope none of our fans slip/trip/fall when at Middlesbrough and end up having to be taking legal action 

I felt we were unlucky to have only got a point from the overall play, we were the better side over the 90 and caused them a lot more problems than they caused us. Obviously due to the context of the game, who wouldn't take a point? 
I'm not quite sure about Festy on the left wing, he really seemed to struggle at using his left foot and constantly wanted it on his right. 
I thought Max Bird was absolutely phenomenal, always looking to go forward, driving a lot more with the ball now too. Brilliant performance.

Meh... That'll do... ?
