No doubt this will be part of the mitigation in relation to proportionate punishment

Because other teams don't give a fuck. And as I said earlier, most of them have probably done their own spying in one way or another before. Or we just haven't actually done this before...

I'm sure we'd appeal even if the case isn't massively strong. I'd hope we would anyway. Just to piss the EFL off so they have to move the final.

Probably wearing rose tinted spectacles but IF Boro have essentially set this up in any way, then that's pretty serious.

Probably one reason why no other clubs have come forward (that we know of) to support Middlesbrough.

Yep. It could certainly have a bearing on the level of punishment received. I'd also suggest they've broken the acting in good faith to other clubs rule, meaning they should be fined.

I understand it as if the plays offs are part of the league structure, just a different component to it. They aren't treated as a domestic cup competition.

Yep. I think they are probably getting pissed as we aren't engaging in their ridiculous circus.

The charge against us is only to do with Middlesbrough, no one else. Until we've heard anything different, of course we will assume that.

I don't know for sure but I'd say they'd have to bring other charges.

Yet more crap coming out from Craig Hope and Boro

That statement screams hissy fit to me

Wonder if that points towards it being a Spors/management team thing.

Also that says to me that they can't be that convinced by the evidence they are handing over. We've been told by Boro journalists its basically a foregone conclusion Gibson will win.

I do wonder if all of this is actually now playing into our favour, should there be an appeal. Think we've got a fair bit of ammunition.

They are so desperate aren't they. If it's allowed then it makes a complete farce of the system.

The two chief executives are mates with Gibson and another member is chief executive of...Middlesbrough. No way can the EFL be involved in handing out sanctions in this case.

Tbf it didn't get to them the other night

One of the unfittest sides I've seen I think. In both games they looked knackered after half time.

Exactly what Gibson did to Derby.

There is none. He's being a drama queen.
