@HarryStokes_93 Separate competition they would be rightly be docked points

A good point I've seen mentioned. If we are somehow kicked out, then what is the punishment for a club who does the same thing in the middle of the season? Are they removed from the league? #saintsfc

Are we really suggesting Spygate in any way affected the outcome of the s/f? Behave.

@NottsSaint It’s is Weird how Southampton supporters think this is all Boros fault. You lot are a very weird deluded bunch.

Going to be legal issues all over the summer with this. Hope Saints also throw the book at Boro way they have acted this week with leaks. Starting with that prat from their local paper.

@abbie_smithhh @thejodiefry No class at all… just like there football club. Guilty as Charged love

@thejodiefry @CJNE44 Really? All I’ve seen is our fans say we deserve punishment, IF we did it - but explosion from the play-offs based off that photo especially seems ludicrous. Can we be please clear too, as it stands we’re not guilty!! Wait it out until Tuesday…then everyone can have their say

2 weeks on, Boro yet to leak any evidence Saints actually knew about the boy doing it…if the country haven’t realised we haven’t actually been found guilty spying yet😂 heads are gone, Boro still crying they lost

@TheStatsSaint Cut the extra equipment off the photo between his legs conveniently

I know just the man.

@stflanag2808 @JacobsBen They had already submitted to the EFL prior to the first leg of the semi final. Everything you’ve wrote above is complete nonsense. 😂

@JacobsBen I'd be embarrassed to support Middlesbrough. They wouldn't have said anything if they went through. How in gods name did Southampton benefit from some fella on a phone a few acres away. Sad. If Southampton are removed from the final it will be a national embarrassment.

🚨 Middlesborough call for Southampton to be expelled from the Playoff Final after being told they can’t partake in the ‘Spygate’ case directly. 🗣️ “Middlesbrough FC notes the decision of the Disciplinary Commission not to permit the club to intervene in the proceedings brought by the EFL against Southampton FC. “The club regrets that outcome, given we are directly affected by the matters under consideration and hold relevant factual evidence as to the events in question and their competitive impact. “The conduct at issue, namely the observation and recording of our training session ahead of a fixture of such significance, goes to the heart of sporting integrity and fair competition. “In these circumstances, the only appropriate response is a sporting sanction which would prevent Southampton FC from participating in the EFL Championship play-off final. “We remain hopeful that the EFL, as regulator, will pursue such a sanction before the Disciplinary Commission in order to protect the integrity of the game, safeguard all member clubs, and deter any attempt in the future to obtain an unfair and unlawful advantage in pursuit of promotion to the Premier League. “The club reserves all its legal rights.”

@harryxafc @JacobsBen A bloke with an iPhone… look back at the photo and see he has additional equipment between his legs. Regards of even that they broke rules and just face the consequences. Come on city 💪🏼

@JacobsBen Of course they do, crashing out because of a bloke with an iPhone, what a load of nonsense.

@northamlights Yes 100%… to be clear Middlesbrough said Southampton should be kicked out of the playoffs. They didn’t say they should replace them in the final. It’s about sporting integrity

Question is “Would Middlesborough be really too bothered had they beat Southampton to reach the final?” They had a chance to beat us over 2 legs but lost! They need to get over it and let the panel decide our fate without trying to influence a decision.

@northamlights Well you think are we the only ones?

Another thing I don’t understand is that Middlesborough apparently has evidence from other clubs that we spied. So why didn’t these clubs come forward at the time of the offence? It’s almost like they are now trying to construct their own narrative to influence the panel.

@ChapelKopArise Eeeeh… you lot crack me up. Furious with the innocent opposition football club for defending themselves. Remind me who sent up an analysis to spy on key training and tactical information for a playoff semifinal? Genuinely concerned how dumb Southampton supporters are.

Strong written evidence. I.e fuck all that’ll be taken seriously. It’s no wonder the EFL don’t want them in the hearing, they’re an absolute laughing stock. #saintsfc

@SaintsDanSFC That the best you can hope for… because you’ll not be going to Wembley 😏😂

Lose over two legs... Milking a kid using his mobile phone to record a session because they couldn't do the talking on the pitch 😭🤣 If anything I hope and pray worst case scenario Hull City just gets promoted straight to the Premier League. #SaintsFC

@DanSFC94 Totally agree 👍🏻… and most logical Boro fans think the same. But you defo should be kicked out. Remember your club caused this mess or your Manager should I say.

Genuinely quite baffled by this. They wouldn’t gain anything from it. If we end up getting kicked out the only sensible solution is to give promotion to Hull. #SaintsFC

@OrphansSC Exactly 👏🏻

Shout out to all the Southampton supporters #Saintsfc who think if it happened to them they’d be like .. No Problem 🤷🏼‍♂️ … 😂😂😂🔴⚪️#UTFB ✊🏻

@ben061076 @OrphansSC Well he sort of did but sending him created all of this mess. Remember the club your support caused all of this mess.

@OrphansSC Rather a good final firstly. If sanctions are imposed Hull go up as they won there semi. Boro lost over two legs simple as that. A lad 100m with an iPhone did not determine the outcome.

🚨Breaking News 🚨 I have it on good authority that if Southampton #Saintsfc are found guilty they will be made to forfeit the final ! #UTB 🔴⚪️✊🏻

@PhoenixrisingJC @TeleFootball Why send a spy then ?

@TeleFootball Amazing journalism. You know you can watch teams’ previous matches on the tellie to give you a high level of knowledge about tactics and set pieces 🤣🤣🤣

🔴 Exclusive: Southampton ‘spied’ on multiple Championship clubs Middlesbrough want Eckert’s side kicked out of play-off final 👇 telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

@Hull_and_Back Seriously I don’t think Boro should play in the final unless maybe there was another semi final playoff game. But I’m 100% clear Southampton should be kicked out.

It is completely insane how the idea of just giving us a bye to the Premier League is somehow becoming talked about and is becoming the least controversial option the longer Spygate drags on. Boro's recent statement has just made things even madder. #hcafc

@SFCMikeKavs I Wonder why they are so sure to publish it.

0 evidence whatsoever to suggest it's been multiple clubs. This is getting pathetic now. #SaintsFC

@saintsworldfc Because he knows what your football club are… he’s rattled you.

Luke Edwards is the worst journalist out there. #SaintsFC

@Rub3n01 Because they know what you’re

Coventry fans are moaning more than boro, strange fuckers 🤣🤣🤣 #Saintsfc
