I'm still wondering when the EFL are going to deal with Boro trying to influence an ongoing investigation through misinformation spread via the media/social media?

A Hull win is the "right" thing for all concerned, but you can bet your bottom dollar that Gibbo the prick will try and sue us or the EFL if Karen FC don't go up.

Given that observing training is allegedly a widespread practice there needs to be a holistic investigation. The club need to push hard for this. Someone then also needs to look at statistical anomalies like the crazy number of penalties Ipswich received this year. My belief is that cheating is rife - the money at stake is far too tempting for it only to be us that have done something wrong. The difference is we're just shit at getting away with it.

-4 points in the championship from mid table in the premier league. This is what we have achieved. Coming soon, Rasmus' new ted talk: If it isn't broke, break it.... then fuck it up and turn it into a collosal pile of shite

A young manager and a young analyst have done something stupid and we've been punished for it. I don't condone what they've done at all, but equally think they shouldn't be hung out to dry. The punishment is what it is. It needs to be applied consistently going forwards. A precedent has been set, but you can bet your bottom dollar that certain clubs will continue to get away with cheating and there will be no consistency. I'm not cross with the club, nor the EFL. I'm just disillusioned with football in general, a game I love that is sadly broken because it's run by wankers who love status and money and couldn't give a shit about us fans or the volunteer based system that props football up. Having said that I'll undoubtedly be back for more punishment next year!

Wishful thinking, but I can only hope saints have some evidence of others (hopefully Boro) doing it to us. That would then open an enormous can of worms that the EFL couldn't cope with.

It all seems simple to me ... - if Boro didn't want to be spied on they would have made the smallest effort to hide their training pitches from the public. Not doing could be seen as entrapment especially if as has been reported observation is rife in the league - if Boro respected due process they wouldn't have released the photo, Will Salts identity or told everyone what the outcome should be - If Boro/Gibbo had any integrity they wouldn't have been party to a breach of GDPR and this would be the first case like this that they had raised Throw the book at them.

I hope regardless of the outcome that someone throws the book at whingeboro for trying to influence the outcome of the proceedings using the media and social media. If this was a legal case Boro would have broken the law.

Definitely worth complaining.

It's amazing how many pundits have come out against us in this... I do wonder if this was about Liverpool if there would be the same hysteria

This horrific biased and unbalanced trial by media bollocks is boiling my piss. Just listened to some twat from the Times saying that points deduction or a fine wouldn't be sufficient based on his assumption that Middlesbrough do actually have more evidence than they've already presented. The only evidence in the public domain is pretty weak and if middlesborough had such a hardon about people watching their super secret training why hasn't anyone in the media mentioned anything about them building a fence around their training ground?

Are we or are we simply asking for a proportionate punishment?

Blimey. The English law stuff is beyond mental.... Fraud??? 🤯 🤯

Completely agree. Until we are back to where it all began all they've achieved is taking us backwards. Great 6 months and for once we don't have a complete helmet as a manager, but there is a lot to make up for.

Gibson is a cunt and has form for this sort of bollocks. Can't wait until something comes out about his club. All he needed to do is build a fence FFS! Talk about not taking responsibility for his own ineptitude.
