Obviously Boro have a thread on this, apparently he's a psychopath 😄

They are sad as fuck. 

[Cuddles]

Once the world cup kicks off and players start diving all over the place and missing penalties, this will become very old news. The press will hound someone else instead, probably an England player.

Why not? Leeds won the  Championship trophy and Bielsa was voted EFL Championship Manager of the Year the season after their Spygate scandal. 

Whilst also picking up a FIFA fair play accolade along the way...

It's all just click bait. After champions league and now, no other news its back to the evil doers of Southampton. 

As for Alex Crook. My sources tell me that he's a cunt.

It is unfortunately part and parcel of match preparation on the continent / abroad, and is quite literally the work environment he developed within - i.e., its the sort of coach he is 🤷‍♂️. Its only the EFL that has this ridiculous rule - and just look at the Arsenal comments crying about the GKs having penalty taker "cheat sheets"... you start making these stupid rules and all of a sudden people want new rules and start saying things are unfair. The reality is that clubs should be allowed to use these routes if they think they can gleam a benefit out of it - its a competitive sport - Tonda is a winner who was going after any information that he can gleam from analytical work. All these rules should be stripped away imo - Otherwise where do you draw the line? Should we just ban analysts outright, not allow keepers to study past penalties or keep notes, or stop clubs monitoring real time health data? Not all clubs can afford those resources or implement it equally right? so must impact the integrity of the game...

It's not about "Why do it" it's about the timing. The 'Why' is obvious, gather as much information as possible about your opponents before you play them and work out your strategy, tactics anmd otions accordingly for the match . We'd be on his back for gross negligence if he didn't do that.

Most things in life are about timing.

Why the fuck are Boro fans still obsessing over this? They got their free pass to Wembley, and blew it. Fuck all to do with them anymore, the weird little freaks.

Because they live in a shithole?

[CSA96]

From talkSPORT just now with Jim White and Simon Jordan...

White: Would you have sacked him, Simon?

Jordan: Would I have sacked him? They've been sanctioned. The manager can clearly manage, what are they supposed to do, double whammy yourself now? What's the point in falling upon your sword now? They've been sanctioned. If there was a trade off to be had with the EFL of 'if I sack my manager, do I keep my place in the playoff final?' then maybe.

But otherwise it's like being at the side of the road getting a speeding ticket and the copper asks you to now kiss his backside for five minutes. Well no. I'll kiss your backside if you're gonna let me off the speeding ticket but if you're still going to give me the ticket then just give me the bloody ticket and let me get on with my business.

Allegedly know as Filthy Herbert the Serial Pervert.  Make of that what you will.

[andrew7610]

You know things got bad when you find yourself agreeing with Simon Jordan on a daily basis - he's been consistently good about this whole saga

[Pilchards]

It will be interesting what the % would be in the support of Eckert after the interviews from Tonda and the owner.

I personally think you’re an idiot if you can’t support the club going forward from this.

In fairness he riles up people with the way he says stuff but at least consistent with his views (well, I think he is) and he does make a case for most of what he says. 

I dont always agree with what he says but can see his angle.

They have a victim mentality that outdoes the Scousers. Incredible.

Imagine how many staff who have been sacked, or have grievances with clubs since the Leeds story. Yet not one has come forward and sold their story to the press, not one has contacted us or the EFL to drop the sides they have a grievance with in it. I’ve not read one report of EFL sides suspecting anyone other than us spying, and we’ve not read one report of Premier league clubs spying on other clubs. Since the Leeds story, there was nothing, not even an hint of it, until we got caught. Yet “everyone is at it”. 

Money talks.

 

And so do interns - for a fee.

Hey! Just 'cause I support the club, doesn't mean I'm not an idiot!...oh wait, hang on...

Aren't they just.  Middlesbrough got the best possible result for them after inflaming and exaggerating the situation, and then promptly blew the opportunity gained.  What a pathetic bunch of abject losers.  Bin fire of a club!

He rates Tonda

[woodsaint1]

Dragan must be very confident that the FA wont ban Tonda, otherwise we could look very silly having to sack him in a few weeks/months

Might as well be writing for the Beano.

[DrSuess1979]

I like Simon Jorden.

Speaks a lot of sense 

Even amongst all the bullshit “Southampton cheated keep flogging the dead horse” brigade.

We’ve been punished and in the “experts” eyes harshly.

Its the some of the media nobody’s that want more, why would we punish ourselves even more by getting rid of a very good young manager!!!

On a side note Jorden said with all the charges over Man City isn’t it funny how Pep isn’t branded a cheat and his legacy has not been tainted in any shape or form and not will it be.
