Sounds like it

I’d love to know who that journalist was who asked Tonda if he was a cheat. Twat.

Watching the interviews etc when I got home last night on Sky Sports and did the Boro manager seem more resigned to the fact we aren’t getting kicked out? He seemed accepting rather than bullish. I might just be reading too much into it of course.

Yeah well he didn’t have VAR to bail him out for major decisions did he?

Bloody hell, all the intelligence of a Tipping Point contestant.

I think that would be a dangerous assumption to make.

Well there's a fkin surprise......i guess not everyone trains in view of a public footpath and a golf course......who knew ? 🤷‍♂️

Parsons statement is gonna really boil the piss of Boro fans and those NE hacks 🙃

And you have just underlined there exactly what a minefield throwing Saints out of the competition would produce. Thank you. 😂

Pretty silly question tbh LD. If Southampton are kicked out, and given this offence was known before a ball was kicked in the first leg, they could reasonably argue that as 7th placed team they would take Saints place in the semi finals. I’m not saying that’s right or wrong but it’s a free hit for them and they’d be bloody stupid not to get their legal people lodging that with the EFL.

The weird thing with the Boro fans and in particular North East journalists is that if it’s true that Saints accept the charge and it turns out it was an inexperienced trainee analyst working alone they totally refuse to believe or accept it because it doesn’t fit their narrative. They are only interested in one thing, and it isn’t justice, it’s a guarantee that they will be in the final come 23 May. Now if they go through tonight you can guarantee most of this hysteria will calm down or go away but if they don’t they will ramp up even more. They have no interest in the fact that this has nothing to do with the players or the fans, they just want their pound of flesh and screw the innocent parties.

Looks very much like aside from the feeding frenzy in the North East attention has turned to West Ham, Arsenal and good old VAR.

I dont really get this "not the first time its happened" line. Firstly Boro train in full view of a golf coure and a public footpath. How many other clubs, Championship or otherwise train in the open like that ?

Ironically Boro did that in 96/97, they failed to turn up at Blackburn citing injuries. Got docked points for not fulfilling the fixture and we stayed up while they went down. Maybe they see this as their retribution 🤣
