Posted by Miltonaggro,

Apologies for the war and peace post chaps – bear with or scroll past.  For the last week I have been trying to provide a steer on here as to why I think this silly episode will be concluded with a fine (in the region of £200k) and / or a possible future points deduction (though if I were advising Saints I would appeal this).  Simply that talk of forfeit and bans opens a legal can of worms that is well beyond the remit and scope of both the EFL and / or Middlesbrough FC. The best way to get

What a well thought out post. Thank you

I think Alfie House reported it starting on Friday, I don't think that is in doubt.

I feel pretty certain that by the back end of today - 4 or 5pm they will announce whatever they have decided I think.

Im not sure I can cope with this in my head for another 24hours!! It is draining

Boro fans gonna be like Jehovah Witnesses predicting the end of the world. Now 12.30 has gone they'll be coming up with a new time.

We're all laughing at them, but I've just checked in to see the news.

F**king wind up merchants. Perhaps we'll soon find out the whole thing is a wind up.

If this is constantly on my mind what damage is it doing to the squad and staff. Hull willhave a big advantage whoever they play

I guess Will Salt will be off to Hull on Wednesday.

Heard he spoke at the enquiry and asked if it could all get wrapped up soon because he has to make travel arrangements to get to Hull on Wednesday.

Quite the opposite as they don't know 100% who they are playing. Do they prepare for Saints or Boro who both play different systems. Saints will be training as normal for Hull.

Sky Sports was tentatively promoting the Hull - Southampton game today in an ad break during Sky Sports News.... just a bog standard title screen and voice over job.

The Sky Sports News' reporter is still holding a vigil beside the gate involved in the saga at Boro's training ground.
He's reporting that the players are back in training for a game they don't know they could be playing.... really gripping stuff.

According to their forum Sky Sports just showed their players arriving at the Boro training ground. Anyone see it? If so any sign of Will Salt in the background?

I can't see it being called off now, just purely from a logistical point of view with plenty of moving parts beyond fans and club officials.

We're now just waiting for the verdict. Which I don't think will be as harsh as some predict, certainly not harsh enough for those cloud covered, miserable f*cks in the North East..

How many Wills are we sending on these spy missions?

Is this for real? I thought I saw yesterday that their manager was in Sweden.

They showed two players arriving, one of which had to double check he'd locked his car.*

*It cannot be confirmed if a voice from a bush was heard, directly prompting him to make this move.

They won't need him. Just a bit of light jogging on the spot like all their training sessions.

I don’t think Boro are training.

There were rumours they were having an end of season de-brief on Tuesday, that was always the plan apparently.

Any chance someone could go and have a look? 😎

Back to squabbling over transfer rumours, how crap the Premier League is, how the beer at St Mary's is awful, how the stadium needs a clean, how the fan zones are dreadful, how the footbridge is congested, how the variety of chants / songs is poor, how many people go down so early before half time and so on. In other words, normal forum service resumed and back to abusing everyone else's posts here.

And waiting 7 minutes for VAR to make a decision which always favours the big boys.

Maybe the perpetrator should admit to being a gay voyuer,chose the wrong woods and is very sorry and ashamed. The whole episode will then die a very quick death.

Yes, Can you tell the court what happened next, Mr Salt ‘Well, I was on the app, and a person called ‘saucy Steve’, who I discovered later was Mr Gibson, asked me to meet him behind the bush, and bring a camera’…

Just spent 40 minutes booking my tickets for Wembley, can’t say I’m jealous that the Boro fans are booking themselves a day trip to the Skegness seaside this Saturday.

It will never be over. This will rumble on for months. However the next time we play Boro, the pre-match build up thread will be tasty so that's good.

I just spent 1 hour 10 minutes in a queue to make sure all the family members email addresses are correct for the digital app. You really should be able to do this online, it’s 2026 ffs! Also it takes time in the queue for those that are after tickets! 

Luckily I started in the queue at 11:55.

Think that might be assumed by Hull and petulant Boro, but we have some character in this side now.  Reckon the likes of Peretz, Manning, Bree, Harwood-Bellis, Downes, Jander, Stewart and Larin will be fired right up for this, and they are much better than anything Hull has got.

No, we are fans we all like the drama. They are professional and will carry on training as normal for the game on Saturday and not get involved in all this media circus.

This is just like a bad version of the transfer window rumour thread.

All those Boro fans claiming ITK, when their cat probably knows more - and why would they know anything when they have no representatives at the hearing anyway? They don't half chat some utter shit.

They're like a clingy partner trying to convince themselves the relationship is still as strong as ever when the other is trying to break up.

TBF we had a few who refused to accept that JWP was ever going to leave us........

Surely if that's the case Gibbo should be gunning for Sky Sports and all of its viewers for fucking spying and obtaining super secret tactical information about the game they're not even going to play in!!
