As the noise increased over the last week, I began to feel that it was inevitable that we'd be chucked out. Admitted to 4 counts but I bet those were the ones there was evidence for, and they couldn't avoid. Judging by the results it was a pointless activity, but that's irrelevant, guilty beyond that charged. We'll be known for this for many years. What really pisses me off is that the club has hung it's own fans and players out to dry. They knew they were guilty and yet they still let the charade continue, and continued to stoke the fire. We all have to face the music now, .... my phone's melting. This is every Pompey fans wet dream. They'll be facing a fair bit of fury from the fans over this. Going to be a shit summer football wise.

What the hell is that statement, ridiculous. The rest of the football world will just laugh at them. They lost an (extended) game of football. Clearly no material advantage to Saints, whatever skulduggery we were involved in. They are losing all dignity doing this. They've gone very high on my list now.

I'm not trying to it's just sad to see so many entrenched positions being taken, that doesn't end well. I know fuck all about this, but the idea we could be chucked out of the playoffs for such a minor offence is ludicrous. As I said earlier there are no good scenarios here. I'm starting to fear the worst, which is madness.

Come on Hypo, they are doing what their lawyers are telling them to do. Doesn't make it right though. They are hanging their own supporters out to dry. The story is gathering pace now, I can't watch, listen, or read any ws now without this bloody fiasco being mentioned. Predictably we are starting to see people hitting out at each other on here. Goodness knows what will happen when we do actually know something.

Of course not, either other clubs have found evidence or Saints have admitted it. Ludicrously small chance of that. Just annoying that the club have refused to make any meaningful comment. Allows all this conjecture to thrive.

Only way it can happen I reckon and they would be bloody stupid to do that. Guess we'll find out soon.

Who knows what the interpretation will be. Both Boro and Saints fans are talking to their echo chambers. Neither have a clue, nor do the EFL it would seem. However my point was that if it happens , then they must have found evidence of systemic rule breaking over a period of time. It would have to be sufficiently damming to avoid the scenario you out.

No good scenarios here are there. However the only wayI can see Saints being thrown out of the play offs, is if there is clear evidence of repeat offences. If that's the case then frankly we'll have to take it without lube. I'd imagine that Dragan will be cleaning house after this. hope he has Thomas Frank on speed dial.

What's the situation with Flynn Downes and yellow cards. Is there a chance he could miss the final? Or any other player for that matter.

Replacing Downes with Charles is ok, and with Matsuki adding some extra bite in midfield, he'll have freedom to roam forward. Our bench is ridiculous, Tonda clearly looking at a long hard game. No way should we underestimate Boro, although don't think anyone is. They won't go down without a fight. Let's hope Saints can control the game and keep them pegged back. COYS

No no no, he's been great at times but he isn't the best tackler and not suited to their high energy style. Proper cheat code later on though. Jander and Downes to start, Bragg as back up with Charles to come on on the 2nd half. Let's face it Boro don't need spies, it's pretty obvious what the team will be.

Guilty as charged, need to pull myself together. Oh please let happen and he does the dambuster celebration.

Good point I feel better, but Leeds lost. If Saints win It'd imagine it might be brought up once or twice. I didn't intend being a complete melt in my list, although clearly am. My main point was that we can tough this out obviously, the real damage will come if the idiots gave been doing this all year.

My grip is firm but I can see where there is going. Same feeling I had sat outside the Heads office knowing I was getting 6 for throwing snowballs.

Lots of bravado on here, which I want to embrace, but that's going to melt away when the shit starts flying. It will be relentless in every stadium, football fans have long memories. On top of that, journalists will be digging for a story now. Other 'alleged' offences will start being talked about, even if it's complete bollocks, the noise will constant. There certainly won't be much joy in the forthcoming matches. It feels like the club is trying to tough this one out, but I'm not sure that's going to cut it. Bloody season is ending like the last one. Wembley seems a distant memory now.
