Actually, if pompey did that to us on their scoreboard I would take it as a sort of backhanded compliment.

But yes, wonderful pettiness, and I dare say the skates took due note. 

 

Don't get me wrong, I fucking hate the skate myth-making, webbed-fingered cunts as much as the next Sotonian, but they are our cretins to hate.

We haven't got any room for rivalries with anyone else.

My god, they're genuinely terrified of coming down aren't they 🤣

They'll be petitioning for a bubble next

I think we should all get behind this myth.

Would be hilarious to watch them have to get up at the crack of dawn, come down in a bubble all the way from Boro, sit in the ground for hours beforehand, only to be met with a mild sense of complete apathy towards them from the home fans.

Fanciful load of bollocks isn’t it ?
 

Most Saints fans I think are indifferent to Middlesbrough, and don’t give a shit other than wanting to finish above them. But that’s no different to Wolves, West Ham or whoever.

It is all a bit strange given how much they benefited from the whole affair. They seem to have a case of Bompey-itis.

According to Steve on today's TSP, the deadline by which the FA would have had to appeal against the panel's decision has now passed, and they haven't appealed.

So all this bullshit is finally, 100%, officially, done. 

SPYGATE: OVER

Thought I’d have a gander at the Middlesbrough forum re our match and result today. 

Some balanced and fair comments, not dissimilar to the range of opinions onhere from time to time. 

 

Not sure “titanic” is an appropriate phrase! Perhaps we should petition someone about it being insensitive to our maritime history! No, but we know some who might

Perhaps they can see the Tonda Effect (which is why many wanted him crucified).

 

 

 

and… 

Personally I wasn’t bothered about Middlesbrough before this episode, and although a few hot heads have had their say (from both clubs) I’m pretty indifferent about them now. In many ways would rather we and they went up rather than say West Ham or Wolves

I want us to be the team whose results in May guarantee that Boro can't make the autos, then watch them blow the playoffs again.

All day long - let them think they have a chance then watch them and their crying manager wilt. Today was a great result but I really want to send them a message in our game against them - fuck em!

Won’t be anything your legendary DEF won’t cope with.

Loose lips sink ships, but the whispers I've heard is that there are some serious foam hand alterations being undertaken.  Obviously I can't say any more than that.

There will be personal bubbles available to keep everyone extra safe.

That should cause a bit of an obstruction if 3,000 of them are coming down the M1 for the match.

I think Saints fans are going to but put in a bubble for our own safety from the visiting Middlesbrough fans. Pick up points to be confirmed by the FAB

We were sent down one of those down a steep hill for my a friend’s birthday years ago (Zorbing I think it’s called).

Far more scary than any encounter with the toothless, crime-afflicted residents of Middlesbrough. 

Glad we went for the strapped in option - the two lads who did the aqua filled one saw their Zorb turn claret as they collided with each other, one lad’s knee smashing into the other’s nose.

Every bus they send down is a ‘dummy bus’ per se!

I wonder if Ryan and Rob will do a video on this like they did for spygate...

Probably far too early to do a Middlesbrough build up thread, but we've only given them 2000 tickets for when we play them...

 

Personally I'd have taken the money and let them have the full 3k allocation

Can't be too careful, the FAB as the voice of the fans have expressed their absolute fear at the levels of BANTZ that might occur in this game and a reduced allocation seems the right decision, in fact i think they should've pushed for it to be played behind closed doors, or maybe only those that attend women's games should be allowed to go.

Maybe with such a representative sample of our fans like the FAB we can push for these measures next season instead? Alongside bringing in lifetime bans for anyone that uses hurty words

Really?? That's crap. I want a full away allocation. Mind you it's a Friday night, not Saturday at 3pm, so maybe they took a reduced allocation first to see how they sell?

Hopefully it'll sell out.

I suspect we’re just offering them the same allocation as they make available in a similar size stadium.

Maybe it was a 'boro decision? The alternative approach would be to offer the bigger allocation but they pay up front. Being Friday night we might get to sing 'your away end's too big for you'... I'm guessing the rest of the ground will be packed.

Interesting, on basis we can't give extra tickets to our fans its just a waste of seats, probably to pacify the fearful FAB , we NEED MORE SECURITY TO FEEL SAFE

2000 is too specific a number - that's the minimum we have to offer. If they had taken a lower allocation it would depend on the blocks - I think the two blocks come up to 1800 odd?

It's definitely our choice.

Yep 100% , I actually doubt they'd have brought much more than 2k on a Friday night anyway 

Its same allocation we gave them in play offs 

They'll give us the minimum 2k as well
