Dragan has been here nearly two days and not a peep. Strange.

He’s got to be seething but he needs to address the fans over the weekend and let us know where he stands, one way or the other. There’s no hiding from this one.

We have to give the police negotiators time to get him into a stable enough place to release a statement.

That’s not as far fetched as you might think. I, and one other poster on here who I won’t name, have seen some pretty compelling evidence to suggest that we could indeed go to the high court and take out an injunction to stop the final and challenge the outcome of the arbitration appeal.

Take it you'll be withdrawing this claim soon 🙂

Nice wind up though - well played.

Think everyone accepts it’s happened more than the three we were charged with, so wouldn’t be surprised if other stuff comes out.

if you’re a championship rival the first thing you are likely to do is try and go digging to get us docked more than 4 points we have already.

All this patting themselves on the back stuff stinks tbh.

Is that a subliminal message? Does it mean we're back on to play Hull?

First confirmation I think I've seen that Pannick was in fact representing us on our appeal hearing.

I strongly believe if we had him on the first hearing we may have been saved. Appeals are much harder to win.

No disrespect to the other 2 but we may may as well have had Mr Bean representing us

Got the big dog in too late and that’s totally on Parsons

Whole thing totally avoidable  

Fuck off Phil

Fucking laughable that our best manager, as far as win percentage, has comfortably been our most damaging 

Not sure that's true. Without Eckert we were nowhere near the playoffs and potentially facing a relegation scrap 🥲. Eckert almost got autos.

It's actually worse than that, they played them twice 💀

[SaintsLoyal]

Who is going to tell Dragan Solak, that Parsons is not up to the job ? thats my main concern that Poundshop will just arselick his way to continue, like he did with the first statement put out.

I think we will need to make a clear as season ticket holders that we will boycott renewal until there has been the right clear out to go forward. 

Its not just about spygate there are blatant others things that shouldnt of happened that he was responsible for.  

 

I hope by now theyve employed a crisis PR management team as people like Jordan SIbley are not up to the job atm.

[Lard]

I’m going to have to give a swerve to all my socials this weekend. 
I’m constantly getting feckin Boro stuff come up. 
it’s so galling seeing them having a blast in Trafalgar Square,getting geared up for ‘their’ big day.

fucking gutted. 
sometimes I really hate my club….this is definitely one of those occasions. 

[Weston Super Saint]

Anyone got any plans for this afternoon?

I'm going to have to get the grass cut in the back garden, so probably get stuck into that.

[64saint]

I'm weeding my garden, might paint the fence, one thing for sure,I'll be as far away from my telly and the fucking play off final  as is humanly possible. 😡

[maxi_sopez]

Just want to say… how the fuck are we not playing today, how are we not one game from the premier league, how has this happened. How is this real life. Thanks

[Pilchards]

I’m planning to heat up a metal pole and see if I can put it through my leg, if that don’t work then I will pour a hot kettle over my head.

Less painful than watching Boro win.

Some great telly on at 3.30.

At 900 fan miles round trip combined Hull+Boro compared to under 200 for say Millwall+Saints surely there was a carbon footprint reason to engineer a cleaner final..

I think might watch. The low of seeing Boro win can not be any worse than where i am now, but oh, imagine the high of they lose!!

Already put the news on this morning and it was a section on a bunch of Northerners heading to Wembley 

Could easily have been a PR piece from Suaron documenting the Uruk Hai’s march to Helms Deep

Scruffy fuckers

[James G]

Boro might become the first team to lose in the semi final and final of the playoffs in the same year

[westmidlandsaint]

I'm torn on the final now. I really want Boro to blow it but there's a bit of me that would love to see Hull go nuclear on the EFL if they lost.

Coverage this morning portraying Middlesbrough as such victims who have been reinstated,  the crying manager narrative. 

Just to be clear Middlesbrough were at NO disadvantage, they knew Will Salt  would be there and collected the evidence they needed for their claim , none of their training or preparation was impacted 

[CB Fry]

I had booked a hotel in London anyway because I went to a gig last night (Black Box Recorder, early 2000s pop fans) and OF COURSE the place is full of Middlesbrough cunts. Hope them and their stupidly beardeded manager get smashed but they are going to bloody win aren't they

It might sound strange but I’ll be more gutted if Middlesbrough win and gain promotion than us being expelled. If they go up after all the shenanigans from them exploiting the apparent seriousness of our misdemeanour I’ll be livid, if they lose it will be karma.

[Challenger]

I'm going to Wembley today. Going to try and stick a tube in the Boro directors box, heard it needed an enema.

 

[Willo of Whiteley]

The only saving grace is that if Middlesbrough go up they’ll be straight back down next season and I can gloat about that. 😂

They’re probably top of my “clubs I despise most” list.

[sadoldgit]

Although I know I should have moved on by now….

A player runs into the box with the intention of diving to win a penalty. As it happens the opposition are aware of his intention so do not give him the opportunity and he stays on his feet and doesn’t actually appeal for a penalty. Despite this, the opposing team surround the referee and claim that he intended to dive anyway. The referee succumbs to the claims and shows the would be diver the red card.

The player intended to cheat, didn’t get the opportunity but gets sent off anyway.

Sound familiar?

I’m looking forward to Middlesbrough getting knocked about by a bit of shithousery from Hull this afternoon.

[sfc4prem]

I'm hoping they get beat on penalties or some excruciating shit like that.

If not, and they get promoted, I'll get over it pretty quickly. Boro were never on my radar as a club before this season. I'm sure they'll go back to that position sharpish

Oh, and I won't be watching. It's a sunny day and I've more interesting things to do.

Let’s hope they get knocked out of the playoffs, for the second time in one season, and after screwing up automatic promotion. The Treble is on.

My cousins husband works at a championship club, and is fairly influential.

trying to get info out of him has been hard but he did tell me yesterday that it is well known in the league that Saints are pretty full on with the peeping into other teams training, regularly breaching the 72 hour rule. He said that other teams in the league would put additional measures in place in the build up to playing Saints, such as dummy training drills etc. 

also said that other clubs have caught us out but no photographic or video proof, hence why “they won’t get involved”. Also, clubs are careful not to go in too hard publicly as football changes quickly.

Last things he said is that we have been the biggest advocates of fairness and fair play at various EFL meetings, very high horse type of stuff, which has allowed others to find our current situation both amusing and predictable.
