This is ludicrous now. Just make a decision for fuck sake.

Likewise. Are we saying that if he wasn’t in that photo, none of this ever happens? Bizarre.

I assume if this is true then they’ll be further discipline proceedings to follow and he’ll likely get a hefty ban.

I am buying on behalf of my Dad in this window and managed to pay and check out at 1.20. Surprised it didn’t whack me back into the queue as technically I brought it 10 minutes early. Loads of club wembley has opened up so he’s buzzing with that

Let’s be honest, would anyone be seriously upset by a big fine and small(ish) points deduction? I’d snap your hand off for that right now.

I saw Ross Stewart and Russell Martin engaged in deep conversation in Winchester today. Make of that what you will.

Latest reports from Jason Burt actually suggesting Boro have no evidence of us doing this to any other team. Which can only be good news.

They’ll be enough for everyone. Chance we get some of Hull’s allocation as they appear unlikely to sell out. Their egg chasing team is at Wembley the week after and some are choosing that instead apparently.

In hindsight, there’s probably no way that game should have been played 😂 Oh well.

Most Championship clubs have extremely secure training grounds. Look at Staplewood, it’s easier to spy on Winchester Prison. So we can conclude it either; A) never happened at all B) happened legally before 72 hours C) we climbed trees/fences/gates or used drones, and just never got caught.

For all this perceived extra spying, it’s interesting how no other club has actually come forward with anything concrete whatsoever. It’s all, unsurprisingly, come from Middlesbrough, their hacks, and a disgruntled ex-employee, who conveniently, was previously employed by Boro. Why aren’t other Championship clubs frothing at the mouth about this exactly?

Indeed. It’s technically EFL v Southampton FC, so the EFL can’t decide shit. Boro might have written evidence of other spying, but it’s hearsay. Inadmissable. The grievances of a disgruntled ex-employee. None of those other clubs have made a complaint and so they won’t be ruling on the truth, or otherwise, of that statement. It possibly provides additional context, but completely unproven.

First thing we should be doing after all this nonsense is settled is ban Luke Edwards and all the other cunts that have jumped on this pathetic bandwagon. They should never be allowed step foot in St Mary’s again.

I can’t believe the Boro forum think that’s genuine 😂😂😂 I guess ChatGPT hasn’t made its way to Karen FC yet.

Yep, Boro have the written statement from Taylor, but absolutely zero evidence to back it up. Lovely stuff.

Yes you can.

Would cheer the place up, that’s for sure.

This is typical of Gibbo, by the way. He’s an absolute cunt. Always the most important man in the room, or so he’d have you believe. He preparing to sue the EFL, and probably us, for millions. Good luck with that. And his shit football club still won’t be in the play-off final. Also interesting to note the reaction to that statement. Some of the sympathy towards them from some quarters is starting to drain quickly.

The very fact they’ve had to release a statement means it’s over chaps, book your trains. They are cementing their place as the most pathetic, ludicrous, embarrassing club in the land. Fuck ‘em.

Saints will be all too aware that this game cannot be played past 30th May. That date is the absolute final date it can be played. In the (now extremely unlikely) event that were expelled from the competition, I want us to ensure any appeals process takes us past this date. Then watch the carnage unfold. Whatever happens, there’s zero chance Middlesbrough play in that final. Zero. Nada. That chance has long gone.

That actually makes more sense than just about anything else in this saga.

If this week has taught me anything, it’s that I thank my lucky stars we have a rival. Boro don’t have a rival, and this is the result. It’s how I imagine Bournemouth would react too.

I agree that Blackmore is being a moron. There are times when club, fans, local media all have to fucking stick together, and this is one of those times. You have the entirety of the national media against us thanks to Gibbo and his influences. You then have Saints rightly saying nothing. The last thing we need is our local journo sticking the boot in even more. He can be a right twat at times.

So Boro are happy to try and bend the rules of the independent hearing? I see. Fine when the boot is on the other foot then.

Analyst is Jason Taylor. Sacked by Saints earlier this season. Originally, we got him from…….Boro 😂
