@david_sedgewick @priv_756 @WinterJeff Apologies, it was Brittain. Point still stands.

@DaddyDjenepo @priv_756 @WinterJeff If you watched the game you would see morris not call a fan a fat cunt

Just when you thought you couldn’t dislike them even more 😇😇

@chrisrobson13 @ConnorArmstrong And the winning goal coming from your keeper doing his best impression of the Ted Bates statue outside the ground.

@ConnorArmstrong What about the game ending level after 180 minutes with Southampton’s equalising goal coming from a rehearsed set piece routine?

The real reason Middlesbrough aren’t playing in the Championship playoff final

@ConnorArmstrong @bengoodall3 @dgboro Conveniently forgets about the shirt pull on Ross Stewart that also should’ve been a pen. But that doesn’t fit the Boro agenda of “the world is against us”

@bengoodall3 @dgboro Let me guess, you don't think Dael Fry wiping out Cyle Larin was a foul either?

@ChRed83 @SargetheSaint @swinnybottom @long19994014 @BBCMOTD We played defensively because we couldn’t get out our half for 45 minutes credit to your team. I doubt the plan was “let’s give away chance after chance in the first half and hope to fuck your strikers have a bad day in front of goal” it should’ve been 3-0 by HT.

@SargetheSaint @swinnybottom @long19994014 @BBCMOTD Question. When was the last time Southampton played so defensively? Could it be because they knew our tactics and bench so they adjusted their game to match us perhaps?

Middlesbrough are demanding that Southampton are kicked out of the Championship play-offs over spying allegations.

@bkwhufc Unless Spurs finish 18th, in which case normal service resumes.

Let them play the final as it is, if Hull win, Hull go up, if Southampton win, only Coventry & Ipswich go up & whoever finishes 18th in the Premier League survives. Only fair solution for all involved really

@priv_756 @WinterJeff Also called a fan a fat cunt. But again, doesn’t fit the narrative.

@WinterJeff Morris shouted in Tondas face..but that doesn’t fit the agenda does it

@MitchellT27 So it’s okay to sometimes cheat then is what you’re saying?

Comparing opportunistic split decision moments to deliberate acts of spying is some cope.

@jk1409 @LouSirr101 I completely agree that these suggestions are disproportionate but a lot are based on the idea that it’s been happening the whole season and that there is now a rule in place. The EFL have conveniently written it in so that they can effectively give whatever punishment they like.

@DaddyDjenepo @LouSirr101 So? The morality of the offence is the same. There is no stated punishment for breach of the rule so it’s the same situation. Last time the EFL made up a £200k fine, this time what is being proposed is 1000x the size potentially. Disproportionate.

It's not even enough for breaking a rule throughout the season. A fine or points deduction for them means basically we get punished for Southampton breaking a rule. That's an insanely twisted logic.

@bbcburnsy Why Boro? What about the clubs then cheated out of getting a play off place. The issue with kicking Saints out is it opens up a whole can of worms for the EFL and I doubt they’ll want to deal with it.

If Southampton are proved to have done this more than once, then surely the panel has no option but to kick them out the play-offs and give Boro the chance. It surely indicates the previous time brought an advantage? It's a trickier decision if just once. #hcafc

@AdamCooper9810 @JF0RSURE__ I suppose you know him personally then.

@DaddyDjenepo @JF0RSURE__ I mean he is an unlikeable bloke

Apparently everyone at the club bar the owners dislike our manager? Interesting 🤨

@J_hanwell @JacobRaw_MFC I’m sure plenty of players have said things on a football pitch that are directed at the opposition. He’s not the first and certainly won’t be the last.

@DaddyDjenepo @JacobRaw_MFC But he said it. Plus added with some of his other antics you've got to admit he cones across as proper whopper.

No surprise to see this from Harwood-Bellis here…

@The_Forty_Four No chance we spied on them. Wouldn’t want our interns to return home with a disease.

Portsmouth rocking up to court trying to find evidence on Southampton..

@jk1409 @LouSirr101 In fairness at the time the rule didn’t exist and Bielsa basically admitted to the whole thing straight away. They put the ruling in place because of the Bielsa stuff after that was all settled.

@LouSirr101 And yet there wasn’t this level of outrage when Leeds United did the same thing. There isn’t even a rule against this in the Premier League or, indeed, other major European leagues .

@TRW_99 Don’t get caught would be a good start.

@DaddyDjenepo I think if your going to spy at least do it properly 😂🤷‍♂️

What Southampton fans don’t understand… yes public are able to see the players training, but this wasn’t a member of the public. This was an employee of Southampton Football Club you thick bastards 😂 And no this is nothing to do with the game, we weren’t good enough.

@StozUTB We’d have all that data regardless

Take this, He caught out Penalty Routine (Just an example) That gives information on every. single. Boro player, their dominant Penalty direction, if they hit it high or low. Give this to the Keeper and it gives you a major advantage in the Shootout. Alot you can gain

@BoroMFC1996 @SaintsExtra Because your lot spent the first 45 minutes of the first leg missing every good chance you got. That’s why.

@SaintsExtra We know why ‘you are where you are’. Everyone does.

Flynn Downes on Tonda Eckert: “Tonda is unbelievable. I really get on with him. He is a great bloke, to be honest. He’s really humble, he’s a really nice guy. He is football, football, football, but you’ve got to be. Why do you think we are where we are?” #saintsfc

@J_hanwell @JacobRaw_MFC And the two of them made up after. Ayling clearly accepted his apology hence why he chose not to pursue it. A lot of things get said in the heat of the moment and I’m sure on reflection he realised it wasn’t right.

@DaddyDjenepo @JacobRaw_MFC But some of his antics isn't just normal shithousery is it. The stuff with Ayling is way over the line.

@SkySports “Player does something that happens at some point in every game” fucking non story yet again.

Southampton captain Taylor Harwood-Bellis appeared to mock a Middlesbrough player with a binoculars celebration amid allegations that Saints were spying on Boro training before their play-off clash 😬

@FloodlightFever @JacobRaw_MFC No. But he’s a shithouse and everyone hates a shithouse unless they play for their team.

@DaddyDjenepo @JacobRaw_MFC He wouldn’t be doing it if he was a boro player would he..
