Cannot. Unsee

In the final accounting it'll be the next-gen tetraprism design that does for us.

You'd have your own CCTV footage if he was at Staplewood or local transactions or even social media. The problem is all of these are spoof able. Though, if we're amateur enough to buy a coffee there then it's unlikely we've planned that far ahead. There's also the possibility we used other employees. It's logically impossible to prove non-existence. But we can present evidence to shift the balance of probabilities in our favour. When they asked for time to gather evidence I assume that's part of what they're doing. Again, Boro have shot themselves in the foot by publicly trying to broaden the scope of this. The broader the scope the more we'll have to provide and the harder it is for the EFL to expedite this.

They'd ask for Saints / the intern to provide details of transactions on the dates in questions. We/he would be under no obligation to provide them but that would factor into balance of probabilities. And, if we had information showing that wasn't the case we'd be foolish not to use it. Then again, if you were doing this you'd leave the intern's card with a colleague at Staplewood and get them to buy a coffee on the days in question.

Why hire a lip reader when it's easier to brief your mates in the press with whatever feel like?

The trouble is, this is between Saints and the independent tribunal now. They're the ones pressing charges not Middlesbrough. Middlesbrough may withdraw their complaint but the tribunal is likely to go ahead. If it's around averting a civil lawsuit then the rules change again because then they have to demonstrate how it negatively affected them and the first half at Boro is going to be pretty conclusive evidence that we didn't gain an advantage from it.

They need a big fella up top according to their forum and we have a big fella that would be a good fit who is unlikely to get a game next season. Damion Downs is the answer nobody is talking about yet.

The extent to which the Boro chairman appears to has whipped up the media also shouldn't be underestimated. The rule about acting in good faith towards other teams could also be applied to the orchestrated witch hunt that's happened/happening. Extra bonus points if Will Salt wasn't involved because they probably also outed him. I think the reality is Boro saw a chance to win the game off the pitch and went for it. They figured the worst case was they'd be able to distract us and give their players a reason to feel hard done by. In reality, they couldn't capitalise on the motivation and wound up expending too much energy in the first half on Saturday. Which would've been fine if they'd converted that into goals.

It's not called Wembley. It's "St Mary's North"

It looks like he lost when he fell out of the tree and hit every branch on the way down.

I think Boro looked dead on their feet tonight. They'll need all the time between now and the final to refresh tired minds and bodies. Reading their forum it's certain they'll be playing Hull after "Gibbo" sorts out the EFL (probably by lunch time) Eckert will be arrested and THB will be starting a lifetime ban for hurting feelings. Saints are shoo ins for League One after starting next season with a 200 point deduction, 1000 year transfer embargo and having the pitch at St Mary's razed and salted.

Rent free in their hedge, surely? (thanks BBC HYS for that)

For some reason I'm reminded of this

Goal

Oh. My.

Elbow to the face. No yellow.

Azaz got a yellow for a similar challenge. Just sayin'

On first watch I was screaming penalty at the TV. On second watch not so much.

Defender took a swipe but didn't get much of Larin. Don't think that was a pen.

Remember when we were a team of half pints that got bullied at set pieces at both ends of the pitch?

No attempt made to play the ball. Plenty of attempt to play the player.
