  1. Who's saying he isn't...?
  2. This is the key point for me... Whether it's an intern acting off his own back or under instruction from the club, it's somewhat baffling either way. As you say, if we're going to go down the spying route, surely we'd do it more professionally?! 🙂
  3. Assuming it's this fella (which we've not seen any proof of btw), the answer to your question is: since this article was written / published by the University of Derby... https://www.derby.ac.uk/undergraduate/sport-exercise-science-courses/wills-placement-year-is-key-to-success/ Is there any way of determining when a webpage was first published?
  4. I believe you're looking for the "Small things that annoy me" thread...?
  5. Even Adam Blackmore has been somewhat unusually scathing about the club, despite the facts not yet being known.... unless he knows something we don't of course...
  6. I tend to agree that it would be somewhat odd, especially if the intern in question is the one who no longer works for / with us, but until we get to know the facts, all possibilities are still on the table.
  7. Maybe the club are playing their "no comment" card despite being 'innocent' because they're concerned about the welfare of the intern in doing so, if indeed they were acting off their own back?
  8. No idea... I'm just saying that, until we know the full facts, it's not impossible that this isn't a one-off (i.e. I'm just staying the obvious)
  9. Blimey... You mean one of my hairbrained theories might come true for once...?! 🙂
  10. Agree it might be difficult to prove it wasn't just a one-off, but that doesn't mean it's impossible, nor that the club won't decide to go into 'full disclosure' mode to avoid future repercussions of other incidents come to light later on...
  11. Assuming this was a one-off incident, of course...
  12. I reckon we should argue that we used the first leg as a training session for the second leg and report Middlesbrough for watching it....
  13. How about this: The lad who did his industrial placement year with us, and who is now working part time for Aston Villa whilst completing the final year of his degree, had to do some "professional training observation" course work as part of his degree... He then thought: "I know... I could kill two birds with one stone here and go up to observe Middlesbrough and let my ex work colleague(s) at Southampton know if I see anything of interest... That's bound to earn me some brownie points..."... and, whilst he was there, he called said ex-colleague(s) to let them know Hayden Hackney isn't training with the squad (or such like).... So, it's not something that the Saints hierarchy sanctioned, but they may have been happy to receive the intel.... By jove Trousers, you may well have struck gold with this particular conspiracy theory old chap.... Bravo!
