Might be wrong but I doubt the legal eagles of the level this would take don’t work on a Saturday or Sunday.

Oh well, that’s case closed then.

The irony is all this has been playing out across the media etc yet absolutely nobody has any idea what defence or case Southampton FC are going to put forward at the hearing. It's a bit like when you watch an ongoing Court Case. You get all the evidence from the prosecution and think to yourself "yeah, this is open and shut guilty, throw the book at him" Then the Defence put their case and you think "oh, hang on a minute......" Despite the fact that yes we are in the wrong, yes we have broken a rule, the fact remains that Southampton FC playing a straight bat and remaining silent bar 2 x "holding statements" has probably infuriated the media who can only report one side of this, and especially Middlesborough even more.

Two things have boiled their piss even more today. 1. They have been refused permission to attend the hearing 2. They have seen tickets go on sale for the final.

“The club regrets that outcome, given we are directly affected by the matters under consideration and hold relevant factual evidence as to the events inquestion and their competitive impact.” The main competitive impact was that despite having 17 chances to put the tie to bed in the first half they couldn’t fkin score !!!!! Thats your competitive impact right there you fkin morons !!!!!

I had that as well.

Got mine as easy as anything, now EFL do NOT fuck this up for us !!

I'm bloody sure most of these twats - yes inc James fkin Corden - definitely dont understand that bit.

Thats what I thought. Not exactly Death Row type crime is it ? Stupid, un-necessary, morally wrong but in the scheme of things not Man City/Chelsea levels.

The only crime we have actually commited, as per their rules, I'm not talking morally here, is that we broke the 72 hours rule? Yes or No?

Fkin idiots, can’t be very confident in the process can they?

I really hope our defence opens with the question as to whether the panel have watched the two matches and if so draw their attention to that first half up there. If anything shows there was absolutely no unfair advantage gained by the guy with the iPhone it’s all there, front and centre, in that 45 minutes.

.

But they aren’t involved in the hearing according to the Sky Sports guy Rob Dorsett 🤷🏻‍♂️
