@Dan_Sheldon_ @TheAthleticFC I’m not defending what we’ve done if guilty, but no matter how much their fans try to deny it, no other club would behave like they have, with the media and now this. Their chairman has a history of acting this way. Proper beg and cry baby
English
Middlesbrough’s request to participate in the hearing has been denied. It will only be the EFL & #SaintsFC, which also means #Boro will be unable to appeal any decision. @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/72785…

@abbie_smithhh @SCOLLLLL @GreySpectre82 @SkySportsNews @EFL The established punishment for cheating in a game is to forfeit the game. That’s how Horsham progressed in the FA Cup a couple of years ago. The opponent fielded an ineligible player who didn’t even touch the ball for the few mins he was on the pitch.
English
@AnonForestWolf @SCOLLLLL @GreySpectre82 @SkySportsNews @EFL Oh bloody hell here we go. Was happy for a convo, find it interesting but now you’re waffling nonsense…
English
I really worry a poor decision from a young man pulling out his phone is going to end up in him being dead. His head must be an absolute mess. Hope @SkySportsNews @EFL all other media outlets that have caused this frenzy remember men’s mental health they keep preaching about.
English
@abbie_smithhh @SCOLLLLL @GreySpectre82 @SkySportsNews @EFL I’m not waffling, and sharing facts. He would have signed an EFL contract and he broke two of the rules in that contract.
None of us know how many games this happened in, or who in Soton was involved. Those factors will influence the severity and breadth of punishment.
English
@lauren_parker01 Your club cheated. You’ve forfeit the game.
If you brought on an ineligible player for 1 min and he never touched the ball, you’d also forfeit the game. That’s how Horsham progressed in the FA Cup the other season.
It’s the rules. You broke them.
English
If Boro had focused on fixtures at the end of the season; where they lost to Pompey at home 1-0 they wouldn’t be in this situation. Was second for majority of the season and suddenly a guy stood by a tree with an iPhone is the reason they aren’t getting promoted #SaintsFC

@abbie_smithhh @SCOLLLLL @GreySpectre82 @SkySportsNews @EFL Take it from someone who has a daughter with a Sports Science degree and years of experience in multiple league clubs. Analysts use far lesser cameras on cheap DJI drones at altitude to record practice games for analysis.
English
@SCOLLLLL @AnonForestWolf @GreySpectre82 @SkySportsNews @EFL Any evidence for this?? Or just guessing?
English
@abbie_smithhh @GreySpectre82 @SCOLLLLL @SkySportsNews @EFL What false narrative?
I know everyone will have signed EFL contracts because I have family who have worked in an EFL club. Even interns sign them. It’s a requirement for staff to be involved in first team games, and this lad definitely was.
English
@AnonForestWolf @GreySpectre82 @SCOLLLLL @SkySportsNews @EFL He had a phone ffs do you genuinely believe if hierarchy knew they wouldn’t atleast send him with a decent bit of equipment and get him to hide properly instead of next to a lonesome tree🤣 you lot have made false narratives and not so much as one bit of evidence the club knew
English
@abbie_smithhh @GreySpectre82 @SCOLLLLL @SkySportsNews @EFL Well then you don’t know how to use your phone properly. That’s your issue.
English
@AnonForestWolf @GreySpectre82 @SCOLLLLL @SkySportsNews @EFL Deary me….do you own one? I’d be lucky to get a decent video from my seat in the stand ffs
English
@ChapelKopArise The Rats are on your payroll buddy.
They signed EFL contracts where this is a rule. They broke the rule, so they broke their contract. All those involved in this cheating should be banned from football for life - well in England anyway.
English
When this is all said and done, I hope we never let a single one of those rats step foot in St Mary’s ever again #saintsfc

Exc: #Boro have asked the panel if they can participate in the hearing. Ordinarily, an interested party can only make written submissions. If granted, it would be highly unusual & could create more tension with #SaintsFC. Story w/@mjshrimper @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/72785…
English
Boro do not deserve to be in the final. A guy with a phone did not prevent them from scoring, if they had taken their chances we would have been out, they didn't, not because of the temu spy, but because of their own lack of quality. Blows my mind people think otherwise #saintsfc
English
@JustSaints_ Additional punishment on the club can also be applied if it’s proven they knew what they were doing, and it wasn’t just an admin error.
Soton likely trying to contain damage but forfeit game seems likely minimum punishment, even if a lone operator.
English
@JustSaints_ If a team field an ineligible player in a cup game, the established punishment is the game is forfeit and offending club do not proceed. Spying is similar and so the punishment should be. Were it a league game, then the game would be forfeit, 3 pts and 3-0 result awarded.
English
Basically been my opinion since the news broke last week. Clearly poor conduct has occurred by #SaintsFC and this seems like a proportionate punishment if proven. 🚨
I may have posted a few jokes on the situation but it is totally embarrassing and brainless by someone at the club.

🚨🤓 Southampton Spygate personal view: 1. Expect the breaches will be straightforward to establish (ie liability) and almost certainly admitted to try and get some sanction credit/discount 2. Expect aggravating factors such as other examples of Soton spying this year to be raised 3. Fundamental question of how serious a breach of rule 127 and good faith is will be key. We know good faith alone was £200k in the Leeds case. The new rule makes it worse and spying obviously seeks a sporting advantage - why else do it? So that does point to sporting sanction of some sort 4. Being thrown out of the Play Offs appears excessive especially given Southampton finished 7 points clear of 6th and 9 clear of 7th 5. A 3-0 in the first leg would have been an option again excessive retrospectively unless 2nd leg re-playable (not feasible) 6. More likely sanction is points deduction next season in the Championship as much as that won't help Middlesboro 7. Unlikely that the PL will take a points deduction recommendation from the EFL (no fixed rule) - doubt EFL will push for it, so would apply in first season back in Championship (when and if) 8. My best guess is SIX EFL points in first season in EFL and £500k-£1m fine 9. Boro compensation claim can be dealt with separately subject to any claim brought by Boro - difficult claim to establish due to causation issues
English
@GreySpectre82 @SCOLLLLL @abbie_smithhh @SkySportsNews @EFL Even as an intern, he would have signed an EFL contract which includes the rule he broke at least once. He could have refused to spy, and if Soton had punished him, whistleblown them, but he didn’t. He’s made his bed, and likely won’t get a job in football now.
English
@SCOLLLLL @abbie_smithhh @SkySportsNews @EFL The lads name was released by the media, its not right
Neither is the spying, but this is this young mans life
English
@abbie_smithhh @SkySportsNews @EFL You think he just did this off his own back? Don’t be so naive.
He’s an intern. He was told where and when to go, and what to capture. By all accounts, ahead of more than one game.
He could have said no, but he didn’t.
English
@JHart_1993 @SaintsExtra @LukeEdwardsTele Did you not see the photo with the mic? An iPhone Pro is perfectly capable of capturing 4k video at zoom or wide and linked to a good mic, picking up coaching instruction. That can definitely give an opponent an advantage.

@SaintsExtra @LukeEdwardsTele Isn’t he the guy that said the spy had top of the range surveillance gear, with features that allow the out to listen into the manager talking?

🚨 Middlesbrough sources are ‘confident they have built up a compelling argument’ for Southampton to be removed from the play-offs #saintsfc @LukeEdwardsTele

@southcoast62 @Dabs06721990971 @SaintsExtra @LukeEdwardsTele Your lack of an English language education is noted.

@Dabs06721990971 @SaintsExtra @LukeEdwardsTele Yoir lack of points and end of season bottle is noted. Owner wants you to go up even though you lose hahahaha

@RalphInUEFA Both the semi and final would have been disrupted had they done this before the semi. Plus they had a 50/50 chance that Boro would have won and then any punishment on Soton would not have caused logistical issues.
Definitely better for EFL to delay until after the semi.
English
@AnonForestWolf Disagree. Means the final almost certainly can’t be played on the Saturday which is a logistical nightmare.
English
Key point people aren’t acknowledging. The EFL knew about the allegations before the first leg and we had allegedly accepted them before the second. In that case the EFL didn’t see it as serious enough to stop either fixture going ahead. That has to go in our favour? #saintsfc

Why havent @Boro released their ticket information yet? Swear the Boro fans think theyre in the playoff final?
