Not now they can't. The first leg of the other tie has already taken place.

They could let the games go ahead and then expunge the results afterwards if they really wanted to. But I would be very surprised if it comes to that. We need to be given a reasonable opportunity to defend the allegations, and will have the right to appeal. There's no way that can happen realistically before even the final has happened. Imagine if we beat Boro and then win the final. If they decided to overturn that result then what would happen? Would the losing finalists get the promotion spot? Boro would be absolutely fuming about that and could then launch legal appeals of their own. Anything other than a hefty fine and a slap on the wrist would be opening up a huge can of worms that the EFL will want to avoid at all costs.

Millwall will be happy enough to take 0-0 back to the Den. Neither team really showed much quality though.

Only just tuned in but Hull v Millwall seems a very drab affair. What happened to Will Smallbone? I know he got injured after only a handful of appearances for Millwall but if he's been out that long then why didn't they send him back early like would normally happen with a long-term injured loanee?

Had to just check the date to make sure it's not actually April 1st. Professional surveillance equipment 🤣🤣🤣

If Boro really want anyone to take this complaint seriously then they need to release the CCTV footage and share the link to the profile pic they claim to have matched the guy to. I just refuse to believe we would have sanctioned this - it's absurd that we would even consider it, given the minimal gains versus the risk of repercussions.

The guy on the top left is clearly not the same guy 🤨

It's not though. See Hypo's post at the top of this page.

Done in a comedy German accent, Allo Allo style.

I think you might have cracked the case. Perhaps the guy was a deep cover Pompey agent, disguised as a Saints analyst, trying to derail our promotion hopes.

Or perhaps we're just taking our time getting all our ducks in a row before responding to what is a serious allegation. I'd like to think that if it was true, then we would have considered the high likelihood of getting caught and had an oven-ready response already prepared. Or perhaps we're just all overthinking this.

And the in the last ten games, Boro have only managed to beat the bottom two teams in the form table over that period, conceding more goals than we have in the process. The last few games we have badly missed Stephens who is expected to be back for the playoffs, and Downes who has sat out the last three suspended and should be as fresh as it is possible to be at this stage of the season. I feel more confident than I did when we played WBA 2 years ago.

That's the spirit!

Yeah cos the Daily Mail has never, ever, ever printed anything that wasn't true has it 🙄
