I think this just strengthens our 'rogue analyst' narrative really. If the club had actually instructed him to carry out the mission, does anyone really believe we wouldn't have briefed him better on how to avoid getting caught?

Can someone please send this to that utter melt Boro fan who tweeted that THB was guilty of a 'hate crime'?

So the kick off time is confirmed, and the tickets window information has now been released. As if this wasn't already certain, there is zero chance now that we won't be taking part in the final.

Yeah indeed. Gibbo may own them, but you can be certain that the company that runs the hotel will be an entirely separate legal entity from the football club.

I think he's referring to the notion that establishments near to other clubs that we may or may not have 'spied' on might provide such info. Obviously it's ridiculous because this isn't a criminal investigation.

Indeed. If the party taking the photo of an identifiable person is a business, then that photo is classed as personal data. Sharing that personal data without the subject's consent would then be a breach of UK GDPR.

It needs to be before tickets can go on sale. So they had better pull their finger out.

Where has this been confirmed?

Compensation for what exactly? Unless Gibbo can prove that they definitely would have got promoted, or at the very least reached the final, had the spygate thing not happened (which he obviously can't), then he can go fuck himself.

A random Boro fan on Twitter I should expect. The Championship playoff final is the EFL's showcase event. The very notion that they would consider changing the date and moving it away from Wembley because of a bit of press hysteria is utterly ridiculous.

Yes, only complete dicks would think otherwise.

In which case I hope we are going to make a counter complaint to the EFL that he is not acting in good faith and engaging in blackmail / extortion.

Apart from being MIA for the build up to their goal, of course.

Yeah his ability to just nick the ball off people's feet and bring it forward is incredible. His timing is perfect. We're gonna struggle to keep hold of him even if we go up I reckon.
