Was cautiously optimistic until I saw the interviews and BBC report. Surely this wouldn’t have happened if the club was confident about the outcome?

Agreed. His commentaries are really poor. Surpassed only by his inane Press Conference questions. Great in his time but - isn’t it time for him to retire and let someone younger step in ?

What a refreshingly honest and frank interview from Flynn Downes after the game. While Tonda waffled Flynn told everyone the realities and summed up how poor the performance was. Shame he’s not the team captain more often.

Two words -Lord Pannick. Sadly not instructed in Spygate until the appeal.

Is tonight’s game on Sky?

Are the last two weeks of August the most stressful weeks of the year?

Totally agree. We were hopelessly out manoeuvred by the Borough media circus and when you see Parsons on a panel for an hour you can see why. Utterly inspirational

Well we knew this was coming. FA - just get on with it FFS! They’re moving at the pace of a dinosaur. Let’s hope Tonda doesn’t get extinguished by an incoming asteroid.

There was me thinking that this is the summer transfer thread. Turns out it’s a discussion about which team is most likely to melt down 😮

Glad he’s already signed up for us. Especially with a Wrexham owner watching on ! 🤣

We need to retain Casper Jander. Very underrated by some and a major part of many of our best performances this season. He was the best player on the pitch against City at Wembley and has put in some massive contributions to the team’s best performances in the last season.

I agree with this. Scienza leaving is not as nailed on as some people think. Much will depend on what happens with Tonda and the FA but if Tonda survives the FA enquiry it would not surprise me if Leo stays.

I received a full refund, including the booking fees, to my credit card yesterday morning. I think they’re working through in order of the purchase dates.

Justice!

What an appalling advert for The Championship this boring and tedious game is proving to be. Doubtless Borough will claim that, but for Spygate, they would have been superb in all areas of the field.

Looking above, not sure that the FA six week issue makes one iota of difference. We know what the result will be don’t we. Fairly obvious isn’t it? If the club has any chance of clearing up this utterly appalling mess they need to get on with it and make some very swift and bold decisions. Both sackings and appointments. Plus new contracts for any players they want to try and keep. Bree for example - though I doubt he’ll stay now unfortunately.

Totally agree. Lord Pannick should’ve been on board from the outset. Who were our lawyers? Are they sports specialists??

It would be fair to say that this whole sorry saga has turned out to be every bit as bad as initially rumored. Most of us would never have thought this possible - and I still can’t understand how the club has managed to get itself into such an utterly shambolic mess. It’s going to take years for the club to recover – if it ever does. Quite apart from the reports of lies, bullying and spying the mess which the club is now in exposes fundamental failings at the heart of Saints’ corporate management and accountability. Massive reconstruction is required from top to bottom if the club is to have any chance of recovering its reputation in the future.

There has, rightly, been a lot of criticism of the ridiculous Borough forum posts. Unfortunately this forum is in danger of plumbing the same levels the last few days.

The First time I’ve looked at this thread today. Looks like the stress of the situation is pushing some people totally over the edge.

God this is all getting very tedious. Never ending psychodrama.

The announcement doesn’t mention if tickets go to our Apps. With the purchase dates so close to the final presumably that will be the case?

Let the independent tribunal sort out Spygate when the ACTUAL facts rather than spin, speculation and rumours are known. It’s all getting totally out of hand. Let’s just focus on the football and not the rumour filled sideshow (however much Sky, the pundits and Borough want to blow it all up). Borough were beaten by a better team last night. That is a FACT. Not spin, speculation or rumour. The more people talk about Spygate the more it fans the flames of attention and feeds the monster.

Well having just beaten Borough this thread is awash with abject negativity already. Let the independent tribunal sort out Spygate when the ACTUAL facts rather than spin, speculation and rumours are known. It’s all getting out of hand. Let’s just focus on the football and not the rumour filled sideshow (however much Sky, the pundits and Borough want to blow it all up). Borough were beaten by a better team tonight. That is a fact. Not spin, speculation or rumour.

With a bit of luck the disallowed Wham goal against Arsenal today will shift journos attention away from Spygate.
