Boro forum has gone awfully quiet. They're probably all counting down the seconds to 12.30.

Whether they can count correctly though...

[saintant]

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.

Can someone suggest it’s 1230 UTC so they have an hour to wait?

[Challenger]

I pulled on my incontinence panties ready for the Boro predicted 12.30 statement. Guess I will have to take them back off now.

[Pamplemousse]

I'd be slightly more sympathetic if it wasn't for their moronic fans

Right, this is good because now can we all finally agree that every single thing that boro fans, their tinpot club, the print media and every “pundit” with a criminal record have said on this whole sorry saga is just made up. 

[Sunglasses Ron]

Yeah isn't Middlesbrough in a different time zone? Maybe 13:30 our time?

Yeah they're about 40 years behind us I think.

Or perhaps go the way of a similar Doomsday Cult,  the Peoples' Temple, and collectively drink the Gibbo Aid.

Good news guys, once all this nonsense is over we get to talk about transfer rumours for a few months. 

What we need to do is submit lowball offers for the likes of Malanda and Hackney all summer, but offer them silly wages. Will properly piss of boro 😁

They are basically clinging to anybody's word that aligns with what they want to hear, similar to when we were in administration and hoping/waiting for something positive. 

At some point you would think they'd wake up to the fact they are being fed bullshit.

Welcome to my world. 
I deliberately changed my colostomy bag to a fresh one with more capacity in preparation.

Reminds me of the Paul Allen Takeover Saga from twenty years ago. It was always dickheads pretending to be ITK, secret private messages and something big happening on the 32nd of whatever.

Some of it has to be coming from our own lot on the wind-up, doing the same old shit to them... if Boro are so desperate to lap it up, why not?

We have had fifteen years of just Stephen and Lee Crump brandishing their season tickets for the Echo photoshoot, followed by barely anything until this. There's been an absolute torrent of memes and we need to preserve all of this for the internet history books.

Alternatively, maybe it won’t. The team bus will be on its way to Leeds and Boro will convince themselves it will divert towards to Bradford

[Miltonaggro]

Their constant bullshit reminded me of this skit by the late great RW - Gibbo Gaddafi 'you cross this line, you die!'

I think I need new glasses. Instead of "spygate" I've been reading the title of this thread as, "Southgate".

I thought this was over 110 pages of Saints fans discussing Gareth Southgate as our new manager. 

Phew! What a relief!

biggest lesson in all of this is to not include interns in manager of the month pics

Would’ve been a bit harsh to leave him out after his ‘analysis’ helped us win all those games 😉

[wild-saint]

my feeling is that there will be a leak before the official release to brace people for the decision. Sky sports understands type stuff.

Hopefully someone on a Hull forum who's been told the final is definitely going ahead on Saturday as planned.

Their ticket sales are continuing as normal, as have ours today.

Are we even sure the hearing has started? 
 

Didn’t the EFL say it would take place on or before tomorrow. 
 

Fairly sure the rumour of it starting Friday came from Boro fans. 

[Osvaldorama]

They said the hearing would be Tuesday. 
 

Dunno why anyone’s getting excited.

Hopefully the leak doesn’t come from our side, probably wouldn’t be a great look

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.

The hearing started Friday, they have until Tuesday to make a decision

This is taking longer than VAR.

Ah that makes more sense then. 
 

Still not concerned. An inter hiding behind a tree with an iPhone doesn’t warrant being kicked out. Would be mental

Makes sense. 3 day hearing Friday to Sunday, today to deliberate and write decision, tomorrow to publish.

I know a guy who could get a peak at his Boro contract to see his release clause.
