@MackemSlayer69 Over two legs you wasn't good enough simple as that. You clearly outplayed us the first half of the 1st leg. 50/50 second half. 2nd leg we ended up in extra time. You can't blame that on spying. You can blame that on your overall form.

Any Boro fan who is saying we shouldn’t be in the final are dim as fuck. Lowering the chances of your team being in a final as we lost the playoffs due to getting spyed on which gave them a massive advantage.

@Apples_27 @SouthamptonFC Oh and Middlesbrough haven't ever sang anything controversial??? Happens at every club. It's called Banter

@RetroDude2026 @SouthamptonFC The same poor fans who sang, “We’re Southampton, we’ll spy if we want”? The remorse was palpable!!

Wembley awaits ⏳

@david_sedgewick @SPhiama Oh I bet and don't excuse that kinda behaviour but we have had it none stop since the first leg. No room for nasty stupid abuse whoever you support. It's not about scoring points.

@RetroDude2026 @SPhiama 🤣🤣 one of your fans were offering boro fans out last week with a knuckle duster and a baseball bat,seen quite alot of them fans giving us shit,its just tit for tat,both are guilty of that

Saints fans should be blaming the people inside their own club who created this mess, not Boro fans reacting to it. If no rule gets broken, none of this exists in the first place. #SaintsFC #Boro #spygate

@Sotonladd Why wait till Monday when people are getting wembley tickets lol. That's makes no sense at all.

Breaking 🚨: I’ve just heard from my inside sources that it is all finished and there will be a announcement on Monday 9am Saints -6 points next season and 4.5mill fine!! #Saintsfc #Boro

@Sotonladd How have you found this information out when it's not being reported anywhere yet.

@chazaustin10 @playnimbusapp @chazaustin10 you earned a hell of a lot of money from playing at Saints. Have some integrity.

Saints fans can come at me all they want… but nobody can defend this behaviour. I said exactly what I think on the latest episode 👇 pod.fo/e/4157a0 ⚽ Powered by @playnimbusapp Sign up now and join our #FIFAWorldCup challenge: playnimbus.app/chaz #SaintsFC

@mich91901 @SouthamptonFC I'm sure it's you lot crying like a baby

@RetroDude2026 @SouthamptonFC Aww boohoo 'my team cheated but please feel sorry for us' 🙄

@GrahamGren @Sil_Sfc

@Sil_Sfc Don’t want you kicked out, big fine and point deduction will do, only person trying to change it around is you.you cheated not us.Get use to been called a cheat.

Honestly the change in tune from #Boro is pretty embarrassing. Spent the better part of a week wishing we’d be booted and they’d get a freebie in the final & now they know it’s not happening they’re all saying they only ever wanted us kicked out. Pathetic. #saintsfc

@Dabs06721990971 @Sil_Sfc Crying like a bunch of Babies crying wolf when all the facts haven't come out yet.

@Sil_Sfc You’re a bunch of cheats - everything else is just noise 👍🏻

@jackpetit1919 @SouthamptonFC Said a Leeds fan. Ironically

@SouthamptonFC Dirty cheats.. could never be my club!

@Paul82806364 @AlfieHouseEcho Oh you listen to Talk sh**t. They have already made there minds up before any substantial evidence has come out.

@RetroDude2026 @AlfieHouseEcho Well , if you heard Alex crook on talk sport yesterday. He said tonda couldn't act more guilty lol

🚨 Middlesbrough statement on disciplinary hearing: “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.” #SaintsFC

@lilliebrownspt @mattcross55 Completely agree with you. I just find it increasingly odd that certain clubs have come out the wood work all the sudden claiming spying yet 3 clubs tuned into 1 club. It's all insane.

@RetroDude2026 @mattcross55 I can see this outcome also. The only way i see you getting kicked out is if this is a series of offences that can be proven with evidence, at that point maybe it will seem like a harsh punishment makes sense.

Southampton fans continue to miss the point of this whole situation. We know we lost, we believe we don’t deserve a place in the final HOWEVER cheating within sports needs to be dealt with properly and should never be excused regardless of outcome of games.

@lilliebrownspt @mattcross55 Yes definitely. The reality or likelihood is Saints will get a heavy fine, Middlesbrough will end up with compsation and Tonda will likely lose his job. That's the likelihood along with perhaps 6pts deduction. Kicking us out will course The EFL a lot more issues and can of worms

@RetroDude2026 @mattcross55 I agree, I don’t blame Southampton fans at all and we are all entitled to our opinions. Neither sets of fans truly understand fully what happened nor what will happen so its nice to have a civil debate rather than insulting each other for no reason

@lilliebrownspt @mattcross55 Or he acted alone we simply don't know however I do think the latter as you do. Honestly I appreciate this in-depth conversation because as supporters on two sides of the coin it's not our fault.

@RetroDude2026 @mattcross55 I doubt the young lad acted alone and i’m sure the young lad understands right from wrong. Its a mistake on the club, not one young lad who probably did what he was told in order to impress

@mattcross55 @lilliebrownspt This is way I've just mentioned Middlesbrough last 11 games and there bad run of form going into the play offs. People gotta remember this was a young lad making a very stupid mistake and people are demonising him like he's the anti-christ

@RetroDude2026 @lilliebrownspt Indeed, which makes you wonder, why the outrage? Cheating is abhorrent in all forms, but there are levels. The way Saints are being chastised is as if the entire staff have been found guilty of match fixing and all of the players have been doping. It’s utterly bonkers.

@lilliebrownspt @mattcross55 Leeds got a fine and the issue was settled. Maybe as Middlesbrough supporters you should look at your form in the past 11 games to see why you failed to go up instead of putting all the blame on a interm kid with a iPhone with a crap camera.

@mattcross55 @RetroDude2026 I understand this 100% but it’s impossible to compare this to anything as it’s never happened before (Leeds aside before the rule). It’s easier to speak of individual teams, I believe any team that knowingly breaks rules should be punished

@mattcross55 @lilliebrownspt A lot of football clubs are guilty of things far worse than having a young interm video training with a iPhone with a crap camera lense.

@lilliebrownspt @RetroDude2026 Apologies, I’m not making this about Boro and not accusing them of financial misconduct. But there are many clubs who have either been charged or found guilty of such, and they are not being accused of the things Saints are being accused of. I’m asking for some perspective.

@lilliebrownspt @mattcross55 From my point of view Middlesbrough are guilty of leaking information before the independent commission has had any say whatsoever. Plus the story keeps saying as we was saying before which shows that something isn't right or someone could be lying however to what end.

@mattcross55 @RetroDude2026 What Gibson does in terms of funds is completely legal as there is no rule against what he has done (from what I understand), therefore not really.
