So unlucky

Think the ref has been ok so far. There's still time for him to make himself the centre of attention.

Scienza's decision making is largely crap. Hence why I don't see a premier league side signing him.

Fellows off soon surely. Always got a mistake in him.

How are we letting Luke Ayling do a fucking pirouette in his own box?

I do like Larin but he's just having a nightmare out there today.

Manning and Larin have both been disgracefully poor.

Matsuki and Stewart for Fellows and Larin are two obvious changes.

The whole team is far too deep. We are playing Middlesbrough now, not Man City.

Yep. He hasn't got much wrong since January but these tactics just aren't working.

Larin really struggling which I'm surprised about considering he's looked stronger than most CB's this season.

Other than THB, everyone else has been absolute gash so far.

Get Bragg or Matsuki on for Fellows. Zero control in midfield.

All said and done he's been a really poor signing so far. Matsuki miles clear.

Yeah, it's really hit a nerve with them hasn't it.

I agree. Can see that being the punishment. Possibly 3 points or something.

Also having a laugh at a lot of people saying how embarrassed they are to be Saints fans. Fucking get a grip and man up.

Which is fair enough. However it's clearly not the serious offence many are making out. The fact you can do it, just not within 72 hours before shows that.

I'd imagine that would open up a huge can of worms and it could end up getting very messy for the EFL with legal battles etc. I very much doubt they would go down that route.

Agreed. As much as Middlesbrough/EFL will want this dealt with, we've got to drag it out.

I don't think we could get a points deduction if we got promoted as the PL is a totally different entity. Obviously a different matter if we didn't.

Well it appears it's true. Let's just hope the punishment isn't too harsh.

The more I think about it the more it seems fabricated. They know we are the form side and probably expected a flat atmosphere up there. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Either way if it does turn out to be true nothing will be done before either game.

Imagine we will get a big fine but that's about it (if true of course)

Yeah, so they are basically saying it's ok to do just not directly before the game.
