🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Southampton to be REMOVED from play-offs final, with #Boro reinstated. Game set to be postponed to 26th May, with lower attendance expected. Southampton set to appeal and Tonda Eckert set to walk. Exclusive with @louorns @JF0RSURE__ @AllenForSur3 @TheAthleticFC

@PaulMas69087767 If all the allegations are proven then what else can we do but accept any penalty 🥲

@Martintaylor66 first Southampton fan to entertain it…

Thread 🧵 Why I genuinely think there’s now a very strong chance Middlesbrough could still end up in the playoff final. Not saying it definitely happens. But I think people dismissing the possibility entirely are ignoring some very important things 👇 #Boro #SaintsFC #Spygate

@PaulMas69087767 It’s a possibility for sure 👍

@Martintaylor66 the thing is I don’t think they’ll be “expelled”, I think thats alot harder for them to legally justify I think what we’ll see is an administrative 3-0 forfeit issued for the first leg (the leg that the spying was within 72 hours of) and Boro would progress on aggregate

@RobCragz In all fairness if Saints are expelled then there should be another play off between Millwall and Boro - both teams lost across two legs so for me that’s the only fair solution

Massive day ahead. IF SAINTS FOUND GUILTY: 1) Southampton final = Cheats prosper! 2) Boro final / game moved: Advantage Boro - they planned for us whilst we for for SFC Game off and auto promotion - Hulls players and fans lose the big Wembley experience. Thoughts? #hcafc

@pjcboro In all fairness if Saints are expelled then there should be another play off between Millwall and Boro - both teams lost across two legs so for me that’s the only fair solution

For Hull to be handed promotion is the wrong answer and unlikely to be the outcome. If Southampton are expelled for breaking EFL regulation 127 then Middlesbrough would advance to the final. This is likely to be delayed and Old Trafford is a backup plan since Wembley has a full schedule. If Southampton are not expelled the sporting sanction isn’t appropriate since points are irrelevant in a knockout completion. The EFL might fudge it with a huge fine (considering the £200m Premier League bonus) with some proceeds going to Middlesbrough. There is also the consideration of if Southampton coaching team will be banned or individually sanctioned. Tough call for the EFL but the integrity of their competition is at stake. #utb #saints #efl

@AdamBlackmore 💯 he’s worked hard to regain his fitness and so deserves this opportunity

Chuffed to bits for Ross Stewart being named in the Scotland World Cup squad #SaintsFc A great reward for his perseverance, spirit, and positivity during long difficult years of injury and setbacks He’s also a bloody good guy and that counts for a lot in my book

@JustPayTheMoney @louorns @alex_crook Yeah right - 🙈🙈🙈

BREAKING 🚨: The EFL are set to hand Southampton a suspended 6 point deduction and a fine of £3.4m following #SpyGate. Saints will not be removed from the playoffs and the playoff final will go ahead as olanned on 23/05/26. (@louorns / @alex_crook) #SaintsFC #Boro #HCAFC

@TheSaintCentre Desperation by Boro

🚨Boro have presented evidence to an independent EFL disciplinary commission alleging Saints spied on at least two other clubs According to Sky Sports News, the clubs involved have little interest in joining proceedings, with some reportedly unaware they had even been targeted

@MfcAndrew28 Hard nut behind the keyboard !

don’t cheat then u soft southern bastard

@SkyNews He has no mandate to get back in the EU The 27 member states don’t want the UK in the EU It has to be a unanimous vote from them, even if the UK people decide they want to return

‘Leaving the EU was a catastrophic mistake.’ Former health secretary, Wes Streeting, says that Britain should rejoin the European Union. Politics latest: trib.al/qdfrbqj

@vxylily Definitely

Do you believe Boris Johnson was a better Prime Minister than Keir Starmer

@pjcboro Saints get expelled - which they might deserve - but boro will not be given a free pass to the final , if anything it would be a millwall v boro semi final and then winner plays hull - however time won’t allow for that

Southampton tried to gain a sporting advantage directly breaking the regulations. Therefore they need a sporting sanction. Points are irrelevant in knock-out playoffs so they need to be disqualified. Only question is if Hull are promoted or if Boro are given a chance. Something tells me the EFL and Wembley want their showcase final… UTB

@piersmorgan And that’s coming from a bottle it arsenal fan

I’d look that sad if I only won a second-tier trophy.

Just had an interesting text from a source Tonda suspended Southampton kicked out Boro in final to be played before 31st May at Wembley.

@ArchieAOA @SouthamptonFC @EFL There is no way Boro are getting a pass to the final if / when saints are excluded - that’s 100% source

🚨 💣 Genuine Breaking: source suggesting @SouthamptonFC are set to be removed from the @EFL playoffs, coaches ordered by Boro and decision to be announced shortly 🔜 #Boro #southampton

@TheEightball80 I take objection to thick, but I agree if we are thrown out then Hull go through

For any thick Soton fans that can’t read properly, I’ll explain. We are not asking to replace you in the final, we just don’t want you in it. Basically Hull should be getting a walkover to the PL.

@MarkDavies67 💯 agree - great post

I hope the EFL get a move on. The poison on here re #spygate is getting out of hand. Banter and disagreement is one thing but sexist abuse is out of order as all decent SFC fans would agree. Also seen complaints of racism. Not saying Boro fans perfect but does seem to be one way.

@smoggyparmo Fuck me mate - your clinging on here

1/ Days before the semi-final Southampton were caught spying on Boro training. Had they not been caught, Boro would have continued oblivious. But once they were caught, Hellberg had to change setup the day before the game. Boro then played a shape they’d never used before...

@AtTheRaces @chazaustin10 So is shagging another women when your married
