@OLAOMOOLA2912 @JacobsBen You said “they deserve any judgement they get etc” So if they get a fine, that’s what they deserve? Yes?

@RustyRidesRough @JacobsBen A fine doesn't necessarily mean money my friend

🚨 Middlesborough call for Southampton to be expelled from the Playoff Final after being told they can’t partake in the ‘Spygate’ case directly. 🗣️ “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.”

@SkySportsNews Blah blah

BREAKING: Middlesbrough say Southampton should not take part in Championship play-off final after being charged with spying ahead of semi-final first leg between clubs.

@SimonPeach Boro statement is irrelevant They aren’t involved in the hearing. This is PR and you are drinking from their water bowl lil pup

Boro say in a statement: "The only appropriate response is a sporting sanction which would prevent Southampton FC from participating in the EFL Championship play-off final"

@AlfieHouseEcho Life is full of regret Like missing 5 or 6 chances in the first leg of a playoff But hey, you get over it

🚨 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.

@OLAOMOOLA2912 @JacobsBen So if it’s just a fine you’ll be ok with it then

@JacobsBen Southampton deserves it. Despite their good show in the FA against premier league teams, they shouldn't have done that shit against Middleborough. They deserve any judgement accorded to them.

@JacobsBen Who gives a fuck what they call for They weren’t invited to the hearing.

Best part of spygate honestly is a new rivalry being born I never hatred boro before. Hey I even managed them once in a fifa career mode But now thanks to this they hate us and we think they are a bunch of whingy cunts. So now playing them will always mean something. #Saintsfc

@fan_banter @Boro “Strong”

@Boro Middlesbrough release strong statement calling for Southampton to be banned from playoff final - fanbanter.co.uk/middlesbrough-…

A statement from the club.

@Boro No one invited you to the hearing Who gives a fuck what you think

@TheFUTSBC You’re right

None of us have disputed its cheating, we’re just sick and tired of Boro fans crying over every little thing because they bottled 2nd and the playoffs… its a Saints vs Hull final.. get over it - Spygate… we’re guilty, but its hardly the high tech surveillance that was reported - THB vs Ayling …. Both gave as good as they got, clearly nothing in it - Ballboy … Targett tried to waste time, rules state ballboys must not hand balls to players Its getting beyond pathetic now and clearly turned into reputation damage by Gibson #saintsfc #boro

@SaintsExtra @jameshoggarth Well they are a smart and capable football club Not the crying type

🐅 Hull City sporting director Jared Dublin says the club are still preparing to face Southampton in the Championship play-off final #saintsfc @jameshoggarth

@COYSNZfan Excellent shitposting this

Middlesbrough have apparently asked if the hearing can be held in North Korea so that the death penalty is on the table #SaintsFC #spygate

@JabroniTV @mithITFC @YamYamKally Amen

@mithITFC @YamYamKally Bare in mind him and Ayling made up before the end of the game and Ayling isn't pursuing any further disciplinary proceedings. Meanwhile all these soft as fuck fans acting as if football isn't a shithouse sport

Why’s everyone giving him pelters? This is the horrible shithousery we love to see in football

@mithITFC Because for a while the world has been made more humourless

Gonna need Dragan to bring in Mike Ross. #SaintsFC

@SFCBenW @SaintsExtra @MirrorFootball Unleash the dragan

@SaintsExtra @MirrorFootball Dragan I need you to do something for me

🚨 It is understood that Southampton’s Spygate hearing gets underway today (Friday), with the EFL aiming to have the matter resolved by next Tuesday #saintsfc @MirrorFootball

@SaintsExtra @MirrorFootball Sounds like “pay a fine” talk

@richardajkeys Only the idiots

Are we really suggesting Spygate in any way affected the outcome of the s/f? Behave.

@SargetheSaint Nope

Just looking at this from a different perspective, if and a big IF we are to be expelled from the play offs. Are #SaintsFC fans going to turn against the club? Because the ones suffering here are us the fans and the players.

@SaintsExtra @bazdjcooper Well done Hull for resisting the urge to throw more fuel on the fire. 🤝

🚨 Hull City sporting director Jared Dublin has confirmed the Tigers do not have any suspicions that they were spied on by Southampton earlier this season #saintsfc @bazdjcooper
