I think the theory is that they had suspicions but nothing concrete at the time and then they've got an image of the bloke from Boro and rechecked footage. Agree it's almost certainly bullshit. We probably have done it before but if any other clubs had evidence they'd surely submit their own complaint rather than give it to Boro.

I reckon the skates must have been confused with the Henry Winter one. Not sure whether to take delight in him saying were cheats or lose the head at him calling us a loyal and vocal fanbase.

That's quite absurd, feels like the world has gone completely insane.

Fuck off did they genuinely send someone to report live from the scene 😂

Doubt anyone actually believes we're not guilty do they?

Steve Gibson woah Steve Gibson woah He wants to win for free Needs better security

It's funny how people read what they want into things. Some seem to think that statement says we know we're being kicked out. Not sure how anyone could logically reach that conclusion.

Hope everyone's looking forward to our last EFL game before we're booted into the national league

That'll buy them a house up there.

One thing I find very strange is the Boro fans insistence that they benefit from any punishment. Literally never how it's worked.

They're on about doing that even if they lose tomorrow as they think we might be kicked out.

I'd rather they did personally, great entertainment.

My word 🤣🤣 https://www.change.org/p/championship-spygate-scandal-petition-calls-for-southampton-to-be-kicked-out-of-play?recruited_by_id=4982b120-4d45-11f1-a074-03987abf07b3&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&share_id=zCXChr5ydz

I still can't believe just how many of them are convinced we'll be chucked out of play offs. Setting themselves up for a mighty fall. If we win tomorrow and then only get a fine their forum is going to be glorious.

You know it'll happen though. And there'll be a bunch who run straight to the away end.

Nobody is getting nicked for using a smoke bomb outside the ground. They might if doing it inside though.

At least we couldn't hear the cunt with the megaphone this time.

How did it spoil the away day experience exactly? Made it better for me.

Loads of bollocks going around as you'd expect which will only ramp up but there's only one thing that we can be absolutely certain of at this point. The reaction from Boro fans over this is the biggest collective meltdown of football fans in the history of the internet.

In fairness if it's a club initiative then I doubt this would be the first time we've done it.

What? 😅

Not been identified publicly. You think the EFL issued a charge in about 24 hours after a report that had no evidence attached to it? Boro just said 'we don't know who he is but we reckon it's Southampton" and that was enough? Honestly can't believe anyone still thinks we've not done this. Proper mental gymnastics.

Obviously won't name it but I work at the hotel where they are staying tomorrow. There's already a plan in place to get some further information which might be useful...

We're still responsible for our employees. If we could prove it wasn't an instruction from higher up then we'd probably get a lesser punishment but we'd still get punished. That said I find the idea that he was acting solely of his own accord about as likely as yesterday's result being changed to a 3-0 Boro win as some of their hysterical weirdos seem to think/want.

They kept singing "there's only one Stevie Gibson" today along with the cheating bastards song. Proper odd behaviour.
