@JustSaints_ Interested to know Saints fans thoughts on the possibility of this whole thing being proven true and that you’ve possibly been ‘spying’ on multiple teams this season. I don’t think you’ll be removed from the playoffs but I’m intrigued to get thoughts. I’m a Boro fan

Full statement for any interested #SaintsFC fans: 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.

@Champchatpod24 The tie should have been over in the first half of the first leg with the chances we created. Last night was 1 game too many for us and we had nothing on the bench to change it. We go again next season hopefully with a deeper squad! #UTB

Regardless of the Spygate saga, Middlesbrough, on the pitch, ultimately ran out of steam against Southampton last night. 🙁 A lack of depth on the bench was a key difference, highlighting where Boro need to make improvements this summer. 🤞 Do you agree, Boro fans? 🤔 #BORO

Can’t wait for the first leg to be ruled as a 3-0 Boro win this week 🙌🏼

@Boropolis Be surprised if that happens to be honest, we just have to win tonight and let this settle in the background #UTB

Significant development. 🚨 #Boro | #UTB | #SaintsFC

Brutal watch that first half of the Hull v Millwall match, they’re both shite!

@danamalt Is it time for Sol Brynn to be given a rest?

get your questions in for us

Started to believe their own hype after the Sheff Utd game, now they’re all fucking stinking the place out. Jokers all of them. Be surprised if we even make the playoffs at this rate

@CorkingNeil @ShaunyRye Hackney is the obvious one, Malanda is good enough in my opinion and I also think Aidan Morris is good enough. McGree on his day can be, but he’s too injury prone

@DanielIbbotson @ShaunyRye Who are the 3 in your view?

These loan players look to be out of contract in the summer, but i think there's already a permanent transfer obligation in place for Sarmiento (£3m seems a lot given he'sout of contract soon). Boro fans, would you be happy to sign all three permanently? #Boro #UTB

@BBCTeesSport Still 2nd somehow but after the international break it’s simple. Win every game! Keep the faith! Come on Boro!

How are we feeling, Boro fans? 🤔💭 #Boro | #UTB | #BBCFootball

@C0n_TwT I feel exactly the same, tried to roll with the ups and downs of football but were stumbling at the wrong time. We now have to win at least 6 of the last 8 games IMO to finish in the top 2 and hope that Blackburn turn up this week and do us a favour. Next weekend is massive

I am one of the more optimistic Boro fans. But even I’m getting concerned. Leaving ourselves more to do with less time to do it

@mar_boro14 Spot on with this! The poor results are just part of the ride! We weren’t going to win every game for the rest of the season. 2 wins in a row and everyone will be buzzing again #UTB

Going to bed on a positive. This team has precedent for bouncing back after a slump and go on an immense winning spell. Another winning run of 5 or 6 I think promotes you. Plus if you’re gunna have a blip, I’d rather it be now than March/April. Hopefully we respond 🙏 #UTB

@BBCTeesSport Think it’s been sloppy but we’ve got into good positions, decision making at times has been poor but we have another couple of gears to go. Build on the goal and we’ll win this game #UTB

Thoughts at the break, Boro fans? 💭 #Boro | #UTB | #BBCFootball

@BBCTeesSport 6 points clear of 3rd with 13 to play. Take it all day! We move on to Tuesday #UTB

A missed opportunity, Boro fans? #Boro | #UTB | #BBCFootball

@BBCTeesSport 1 positive out of tonight was Sarmiento, thought he was excellent tonight. If I’m honest, I think we’ll be top again by next weekend and tonight will give us a massive kick up the arse for the rest of the season UTB

The Coventry curse continues. #Boro | #UTB | #BBCFootball

@Boro_Breakdown Bullied is the right word isn’t it. They’ve been too strong for us all over the park and we’ve been really sloppy and slow in our build up. Nowhere near the level of last week and we’ve got exactly what we’ve deserved so far. Changes needed at half time UTB

HT | 1-0 to Cov - give us your thoughts, feelings, emotions on the first half 👇🏼

@Coventry_City Fair play to you boys, fully deserved that. All over us all over the park this first half, Onyeka has been quality so far. Hopefully we’ll actually start playing the second half and give you a game 😂🫠

Haji opens the scoring! ⚡️

@BBCTeesSport Too many players off it first half, Morris has been poor, Browne has been poor and so has McGree. Need more going forward otherwise we get nothing from the game. Cov looking too powerful for us at the minute

Thoughts at the break, Boro fans? 💭 #Boro | #UTB | #BBCFootball

@djtonyperry The nostalgia is real

📺 🦁 ⚽️ 90s #premierleague anthems

@Alexcraiggh I am fully expecting a draw. There’s no chance you boys don’t turn up at home and as good as we have been recently, to win 6 games on the bounce is hard at any level. Would be buzzing to take a point with our record at the CBS 😅

Middlesbrough have never won at the CBS Middlesbrough have won 6 league games on the bounce Coventry have lost 2 League games at the CBS in the past year. Not too confident but I feel we get something #PUSB
