@vinny_brand If its to be believed though, they shouldn't even be in the playoffs given they had a paper trail of cheating against other clubs since that insect came in.
Genuinely can’t get my head around the argument that Southampton wouldn’t have gained an advantage from spying.
Why send someone to the other side of the country to do it then?
@SkyFootball I mean we shouldnt have done it, but if you can stroll up a lane and look over a metal gate and the only security appears to be a sign saying private property then perhaps Boro needs to spend the money on security rathee than litigation over this? #spygate
Keith Downie visits Middlesbrough’s training ground and stands in the exact spot where it’s alleged a member of Southampton’s staff was “spying” on their session ahead of the Championship play-off semi-final.
@Nicholsonian84@martynziegler The Sun reports that Boro have evidence you’ve been spying regularly. They might go the full Swindon Town on you and relegate you to League 1.
NEW: Southampton likely to face sporting sanction such as being excluded from play-off final or points deduction next season if found guilty of spygate.

@Leeholtbygoogl1@martynziegler So is the whole league apparently 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ just get over it and analyst watching a few mins training so fucking what it’s pathetic
@martynziegler Let's be honest Saints have done something wrong and need punishing and at the same time it needs to be beneficial to MFC due to being the victims. Absolutely agree!
@martynziegler All these folks saying they cant punish Southampton forget how the FL relegated Swindon Town 2 divisions in 1990 after they won the playoffs.
The desperation Boro fans are showing is hilarious. They have every chance of winning tomorrow but they seem to think their only chance is a bye. Cry babies.
🚨 Middlesbrough are expected to remind the commission, which has been assembled & will be chaired by a lawyer, that Canada Women were docked six points – & coach Bev Priestman & two staff were banned from football for 12 months – for spying at 2024 Olympics #saintsfc@Guardian
