Saints will certainly use the Leeds case as an example when it comes to offering our evidence - regardless of their fine and there not being a rule in place at the time, the argument will be that Leeds had a dossier of every club in the league that they’d spied on, and assuming it was only Middlesbrough then kicking us out after two legs had already been played is a higher punishment for a lesser crime. After this you can very much expect the EFL rules around spying to change to zero time prior to a game that it’s acceptable, as well as a set punishment in writing.

My take, part sensical and part in hope… We jumped the gun announcing ticket details, the EFL didn’t like this because it gives the impression there will be no serious on field punishment and we’ll be playing in the final, which the EFL didn’t like as they have to appease the complainants. They know we’ll be in the final, but have to make it seem that it’s still a possibility we’ll be booted out, but ultimately know we won’t. Therefore they release this statement today, allow both clubs to sell tickets as per normal, whilst making it appear that there’s still a possibility it might not go ahead - but 99% will.

Indeed, as I take pleasure reminding wankers online that like to reply to posts with “come on hull, beat the cheats”

I caught up with all of the controversy this morning. The biggest factor all the pundits agreed on was that if the ball hit his hand it would have bounced to the floor about a metre away, and he’d not have been able to get the power to put the ball out for a throw in. Disgusting decision it really is. There’s no doubt of the size and influence Celtic have got, more akin to cheating then our “spygate” will ever be. Its amazing how this title run have got a lot more people keeping an eye on the SPL. Really hope Hearts get the result at the weekend and upset the establishment.

Whilst the uncertainty around the ticket news is unsettling, there is no way on earth that Saints would roll over and allow themselves to be removed from the final with upwards of £200 million to be “won” at the end of it over a bloke watching them train through an iPhone. The punishment simply does not fit the crime, particularly after 2 playoff games that have already been played between the two clubs. Fairly certain Mr Solak himself would be looking for the most expensive lawyer with the biggest pair of bollocks going if so.

Fingers crossed then. If Boro have to pay a fine for breaching GDPR that’s bigger than our fine for spying it would brilliant.

Our licence fee basically pays the wages of some little rat reporter to say shit like that about us, our club and our players. Fuck them, get the little wanker in trouble, it’s against BBC impartiality rules.

Crazy isn’t it, who’d have thought a football tournament in summer would be so hot.

We wore our home kit against Chelsea, but again were the away team, Leicester we wore our third. Including the old stadium we have never been the designated home team at Wembley. Is it as simple as where S is in the alphabet compared to all the sides we’ve faced.

Who are these utter fucking wet lettuces. Fannies.

Shame that nutjob Javi isn’t around anymore. Could send him up to Boro to do a job on Gibbo like he threatened to do to Steve Grant.

LND had been subbed off for Larin so has to come off. My list would be very similar but I’d have Charles in that first 5.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/complaints Report it. Fuck em.

Don’t understand why releasing the sales info and dates etc is an apparent issue.

I agree, but is this confirmed? It’s our 7th trip to Wembley and we’ve always had that same side, what dictates it?
