@JoeEason1 You can say that all you want but it doesn’t change the fact that there’s a contract between the EFL and Saints ( and all other clubs ) and they can’t just pick whatever punishment they like. What you are suggesting is effectively a fine worth 200x more than what Leeds got… 🤣

@StuartJones7 Leeds were caught mid season in the league, you were caught in the knockout phase. Leeds' manager immediately owned up and basically said "sorry I didnt know, thats how we do it back home". Your lot just threw an analyst under the bus. Sanctions need to deter future rule breaking

The disciplinary is on Tuesday. The match is on Saturday. This leaves no time to hear an appeal. The decision will have to be final. That’s why there’s little to no chance of EFL booting #SaintsFC out & risking Saints lawyers going after them for £200m losses #boro

@AndMarsh69 Course you are 🤪

@StuartJones7 More educated than you it seems, but then that’s not a very high bar

@JoeEason1 Leeds were fined £200k Saints will be fined a lot more and probably 3-6 point deduction. As much as you try grasp on to “there wasn’t a rule last time” - there was or Leeds wouldn’t have been fined. 🤦 Having the exact “offence” written in to the rules doesn’t affect precedent

@StuartJones7 So what is proportional? Other teams that broke rules during playoff campaigns have been disqualified or even retrospectively relegated back to that league. Sporting sanctions are the better deterrent, fines are just absorbed by owners or dont offset potential cheated earnings

@ryanblackwood13 @partridge_v Because unlike your gobshite #boro owner, our owners understand that during a disciplinary process you have to shut the fuck up and not do anything to prejudice the case, regardless of your innocence or guilt.

@partridge_v Find it hard to believe that if he wasn’t then why would Southampton not deny it or publicly say nothing to do with us to distance themselves from it?

Are some Southampton fans really that thick? What is so hard to grasp. Whether or not their actions gained an advantage in first leg the intent to cheat was there. Had they not been caught the individual may have stayed longer and carried on undetected.

@AndMarsh69 “Lmfao” and 69 in your username. I’m sure you’re well educated to understand contract law. 🙃

@StuartJones7 Are you for real what a load of utter bollocks. Ooh everybody is scared of saints lawyers lmfao.. I think you might just be leading the race for most delusional comment I’ve seen on this…

@JoeEason1 Jesus. Blows my mind that people don’t understand that a punishment / sanction has to be proportionate to the offence.

@StuartJones7 How can you sue for £200m if you haven't already won it? If you're disqualified for legitimate reasons before the game, then you never had the winnings to start with. What are your lawyers going to sue for?

@WelllRed @Dirtyh @ian4downton Part of #saintsfc defence will be that #boro have prejudiced the case by releasing CCTV images, personal details and the statements and brainwashing of the locals. What ever the punishment was going to be, it will be less because of Gobbo

@Dirtyh @ian4downton @StuartJones7 Deluded.

@Brunners_ @mich91901 @Jack__boro That’s not how contract law works mush. 🙃

@StuartJones7 @mich91901 @Jack__boro So you can have a 200k fine for breaking the rule that Leeds got fined for, and kicked out for the new one brought in after, works for me.

@Jack__boro @Thomas355078406 @Yate5y Are you not aware that we are the masters of shithousery for small margins? Our “ball boys” are Academy U18’s We put charity sponsor boards up closer to pitch when teams have long throwers. SMALL margins.

@Thomas355078406 @Yate5y @StuartJones7 “Some bloke” an analyst. “A phone” as if it matters what he films with. You cheated and obviously thought it would give you a massive advantage otherwise you wouldn’t have risked getting kicked out the playoffs

@Craigyrobbo81 Your local media really has brainwashed you all. 😂 Do they have the death penalty in Teeside for nicking a Mars Bar out of the local shop? Seems like proportionate punishments don’t exist in Teeside 😂🤪 #SaintsFC #boro

@StuartJones7 If you get kicked out what possible grounds would there be for you to “go after them for £200m”??? Imagine that in an actual court… Saints: “We want £200m because we were kicked out for cheating”. Judge: “did you cheat?” Saints: “well yeah, but…” Judge: “get out of my court”

@Yate5y @Jack__boro Correct and we will be rightfully punished. It won’t be the expulsion that Boro are begging for though. Will be more than what Leeds got but likely 3-6 points and £1m-£2m fine.

@StuartJones7 @Jack__boro Man. Cheating/spying. At training ground. Not allowed.

@mich91901 @Jack__boro Do you know anything about contract law? 🕵️ There was a rule to break or Leeds wouldn’t have been fined ffs 😭 There is a specific rule now but no recommended or minimum punishment is attached to it so precedent still factors. #SaintsFC #boro

@StuartJones7 @Jack__boro Also 200k isn't the precedent, not sure how many times you thick cunts need to be told but when Leeds did it there was no rule to break. YOU will be the precedent, and that's what the EFL and the panel have to decide on and show every other team that cheaters don't prosper

Costing someone £200m for a kid with an iPhone stood OUTSIDE the training ground that had no material impact in the game is not a proportionate punishment - especially when precedent was £200k fine. If your rubbish strikers had put away one of their 40 shots on goal then you’d had won. #saintsfc #boro

@StuartJones7 They broke the rules and the committee has the option to remove them from the competition.. why do you think they could sue for losses? 😂

@Tgarratt10 At this stage #boro are just a bunch of cry babies desperately trying to get in to the play off final because they blew automatic promotion and couldn’t score in a brothel in the first leg against us. Embarrassing.

Is this not just a bit ridiculous now? Surely it’s just a fine like Leeds.

@MattyCarter1984 “Small margins” The same small margins as us having academy lads as ball boys or your manager telling your player to fake injury in the 2nd half so he could have a meeting with his players.

@StuartJones7 If he wasn’t getting any useful information, then what an earth is he doing there?

Well done #boro comms team convincing half the world that a nerd behind a tree 200m away can have a big impact on 210 minutes of football. 🤪 Same as us using our Academy U18 players and ball boys then not giving the ball back. Small margins - not £200m fines 😂🕵️. #SaintsFC

Behave 😂😂😂 Precedent was a £200k fine. The addition of a specific rule doesn’t affect it that much. £2m fine and 3-6 points deduction. People are absolutely mental if they honestly think the EFL would want to do with the legal fallout of expelling a club because of a noddy analyst with an iPhone

@pompeyhistory1 Already sorted my tickets. Block 124 See you there!…. … oh 🤪

@StuartJones7 Don't Worry Mate..You wont be going.

We have the west end of Wembley again which means we get Boxpark and Green Man as Saints pubs - lovely!. 🍻 #SaintsFC #hcafc

@LindPlay5 I bet you vote Green Party

@StuartJones7 Stuart, you are a fucking lemon

What a weird world we now live in that there’s such an uproar at someone standing on the side of a publicly accessible road in #boro with an old iPhone videoing a training session #SaintsFC More in-game advantages in diving for a penalty than videoing a team playing two-touch🤪
