Let’s get real? How would we feel if Everton were 25 points clear. Would next season be our priority?

I can honestly say that if we where in that position I'd be laughing saying "Everton that!" and I'd of accepted that the season would be void because there is absolutely no way that the premier league or media or anyone else would fight for it to continue for us like they have for the RS. What's more I'd actually be pretty disgusted with the club if we did what the RS have done and tried to make this all about us while the country readies itself to go into lockdown and people died.

This is why they don't want to cancel the season yet. They just want to keep suspending the season over and over kicking the can futher and further down the road for as long as possible until it gets to the point where they can do it with pretty much everyone onside.

I would be livid.

Just like I was livid whilst watching Steau Bucharest beat Barcelona in possibly the worst European Cup Final in history back in ‘86.

But it is not Everton,

It is the RS.

So screw them.

If they do lose it in the Steward’s Room then karma is served.


Bitter Blue and proud of it :dance:

The FA, Premier League, EFL and women’s professional game, together with the PFA and LMA, understand we are in unprecedented times and our thoughts are with everyone affected by COVID-19.
We're united in our commitment to finding ways of resuming the 2019-20 football season and ensuring all domestic and European club league and cup matches are played as soon as it is safe and possible to do so.
We've collectively supported UEFA in postponing EURO 2020 to create space in the calendar to ensure domestic and European club league and cup matches have an increased opportunity to be played and, in doing so, maintain the integrity of each competition.

The FA’s Rules and Regulations state that “the season shall terminate not later than the 1 June” and “each competition shall, within the limit laid down by The FA, determine the length of its own playing season”.
However, our Board has agreed for this limit to be extended indefinitely for the 2019-20 season in relation to professional football. Additionally, we've collectively agreed that the professional game in England will be further postponed until no earlier than Thursday 30 April.

The progress of COVID-19 remains unclear and we can reassure everyone the health and welfare of players, staff and supporters are our priority.
We will continue to follow Government advice and work collaboratively to keep the situation under review and explore all options available to find ways of resuming the season when the conditions allow.
We would all like to re-emphasise that our thoughts are with everyone affected by COVID-19.

Look how they started and ended their statement. You can tell that they know the middle section of it makes no sense at all in these current circumstances and are trying to pad it out and make it look reasonable with their faux sympathy for virus victims, when, if they had their way, games would be played as of Saturday.

Extended indefinitely, only Liverpool would get that decision.
If that was us they would of scrapped it saying peoples lives are more important.

Just the wording " extended indefinitely" you can tell was written by a rs
