@Golacticos2 @izzyslovenian It’s your problem now, ask the EFL.

@ChrisWev @izzyslovenian This is your problem, you have no proof. Just whinging.

Ok - so this is it: Where the unfair advantage obtained by the breach most immediately confers a SPORTING advantage, a SPORTING SANCTION is most appropriate. UTB stewartslaw.com/news/spy-games…

@Golacticos2 @izzyslovenian Course it’s an advantage, certainly didn’t help boro’s prep did it.

@ChrisWev @izzyslovenian Agreed. Never said it was. Worst half of football I’ve seen Saints play this season. Doesn’t play into the real spying advantage hysteria though does it.

@upthesaints It is banned full stop, that’s what rule 3.4 covers, it’s why leeds got fined etc. Obv the last training sessions before the game are incredibly crucial.

@ChrisWev The time based rule just makes a mockery of it though. You either allow it or you dont fullstop.

I’ve been thinking: what if the situation was the other way around ? I still can’t get past the “pointless, nothing to gain” from doing it. Also, your “scouting” 72 hours before and the next day supposedly “spying.” #SaintsFC

@Two_Pradista Why haven’t you sacked him or the analyst yet?

There has been an unbelievable amount of shit thrown at this man over the last couple of weeks - almost all of which has been based on hearsay, speculation and cringeworthy moral grandstanding. Back him to the hilt. #SaintsFC

@FootballMartin_ As well as being kicked out, Southampton should financially compensate the fans of all the main effected clubs, so Boro, Hull and their own fans.

This is excellent from the Hull City supporters who are absolutely correct #SaintsFC #HCFC

@SfcSanJose7 @partridge_v @cjelliott37 I’m not asking what is plausible, I effectively asked what you think is likely? What do you think is most likely?

@ChrisWev @partridge_v @cjelliott37 Either of the first two are plausible. Stranger things have happened. And even still they need to prove he was. Not was there

No evidence Will Salt was Sent. No evidence Will Salt was Paid. No evidence anything (Salt), recorded was given back to anyone at the Club. No evidence it had any impact on the two legs. No evidence of prior spying by Salt. Verdict: Salt Guilty, Club misdemeanor #SaintsFC

@SaintsExtra @TimesSport Knock them out of the knock out for boro instance, 3 points deduction next year for every other instance (if there are any).

🚨 An intriguing take on how Southampton should approach the Spygate hearing, from an EFL club executive #saintsfc @TimesSport

@partridge_v @cjelliott37 @SfcSanJose7 Do you seriously think a guy who makes your MOM photos would be given a day off on the most important prep day of the season? Really? Or did he just not turn up and nobody asked where he was? He’s a club representative in an analytical role, it’s not the cleaner.

@cjelliott37 @SfcSanJose7 Employers are not responsible for what their staff do in their spare time or off their own back

@Golacticos2 @izzyslovenian It aint our fault you were crap

@ChrisWev @izzyslovenian You can’t prove it made any difference. Unless you mean the deliberate ploy to let Boro batter us senseless in the first half of the first game. 17 shots to nil, but your boys couldn’t score. Great spying advantage that.🤣🤣🤣

@saintmattc @rfdavo 5: iPhone is shite compared to pro equipment, but has zero baring to EFL, could be a potato. 4k and air pods is good enough I reckon, or maybe he was listening to a podcast whilst spying 😂 6: yeah, give the lad in our mom photos the day off on the biggest training day 😂😂

Irrelevant things in hearing; - Boro not taking chances in first 45mins - Jan signing failures - Saints being fitter in ET - Boro time spent in top 2 - iPhone vs. DSLR - Age or job title or employee - layout of training ground - scheduling issues #boro #SaintFC

@saintmattc @rfdavo Literally impossible to prove no impact, and it’s a certainly anyway. Did boro spot a “saints” employee during the most important training session of the year? Of course, so the second anything is in doubt it had impact. Grow some balls, just admit it.

@HeresayHorus @Neilfarrington We played many ways, the play off was a forced first, all year. Please try and find otherwise. Yet your 150m team couldn’t beat us after 210 mins and cheated 😂 Can I remind you we beat you/ tonda 4-0 last time.

@Neilfarrington After a full season of football, boro could only play one way, and any amount of training on their super secret super tactic is destroyed in 5 minutes of footage? Some coach you got there. I'll reply to myself for you: "Southampton broke a RULE!"

The “Boro beaten over two legs fair & square” #Spygate defence is bollocks (Boro having had to change their system ahead of the games) & irrelevant. The only thing that matters is Southampton cheated to gain an advantage. Whether you think they gained one? Neither here nor there.

@Golacticos2 @izzyslovenian Crying about 1 pic of evidence? Thought you said there was none? Do you want us to release more? We don’t care either way.

@izzyslovenian Hahaha! Confidential! Boro have conducted this whole dog and pony show over social media and the press.

@Golacticos2 @izzyslovenian When have you proven your cheating made zero difference? You know, the bloke in your mom pics? Grow some balls or morals and just own it? Send hull up.

@izzyslovenian And yet Boro have never proven or given actual evidence of that advantage over the two games. All ifs and buts. The reality over two games Boro were second best.🤷

@SaintsDanSFC We filed it before a ball got kicked. Beat you 4-0 last time. You drew with us over 210 mins, and took cheating and a shit ref to get you that far 😂 Looking forward to you being stuck with the robot next year when he can’t cheat 😂😂

Well said!! Everybody can see it now too. Sore sore sore losers. #SaintsFC

@Ki3ran_K @bigal_7 When he did the coach breakdown (which he invited the press to) demonstration was something else, ludicrous insight. Yet “saints” still can’t grasp why it matters 🤔

@ChrisWev @bigal_7 My favourite part of it was going forward he’d often name the team before the game and tell everyone how they’d set up 😂

Can we mention the fact that Leeds didn't spy before a playoff semi-final?

@DanW2Capital @jpn110887 Damaged club asks to be in court on day 6 and you’re on the side of the club charged by efl on day 1 😂

@jpn110887 I can't believe you're so up yourselves that you demanded to hijack the hearing and kicked off because that's not the process. And the fact that there are numerous punishments available but you ignore all but one of them.

''If Southampton had fielded an ineligible player'' ''If Southampton bribed a referee'' ''If Southampton kidnapped a member of a Boro players family and demanded that they score an own goal'' ''If this was the Olympics'' Yeah but it's not. It's some idiot with sh*t jeans stood by a tree with an Iphone. #Saintsfc

@BensBanter You mean the guy important enough to make your mom photos? Who do you think he was listening to, a podcast? 😂

Correct approach IMO Big difference between one or two people doing it in the analytics department to help their careers and senior staff who should know better conspiring to break the rules. If it's the latter then it's a lot worse. #SaintsFC

@Biggun26_ The levels of cope here are laughable 😂 We’ve towed the line to the letter, especially since we got shafted in 96-97, rules are rules, that’s what we got told (amd we had many genuine excuses).

Them Boro fans that keep bookmarking every Southampton fan tweets, are going to be so depressed when we’re at Wembley next week. Imagine having to unbookmark 100’s of tweets based off of pure delusion. Funny
