@wanaldinho @GazetteBoro EFL aren't in charge of the punishment. It's the independent hearings job. It's the EFL Vs Southampton. Not Boro Vs Southampton.

@GazetteBoro I guess that's the end then If the EFL are in charge of the final decision without a boro representative there i can't see them sending southampton out of the playoffs. It's the EFL they have robbed middlesbrough for the last God knows how many seasons with ridiculous decisions

Why Middlesbrough cannot appeal Spygate outcome as Southampton hearing set gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football…

@waddoboro @Smithy_MFC84 Boro can't appeal, it's not a case of Boro Vs Southampton. It's the EFL Vs Southampton.

@Smithy_MFC84 They’ll resort to a fine I reckon. Safest bet for the EFL. Boro can choose to appeal and drag it out, but I suspect they won’t. As each day goes by, it feels less relevant. Time to look ahead to starting the new campaign in three months. There’s a squad to sort out ⚽️💪

I mean, would I take a second chance at play-off glory? Yeah, course. Is it going to happen though? No. I’m keen to see Southampton rightly punished, but the EFL aren’t kicking them out. I’m just holding out hope Crooks bags a late winner for Hull and gives them shit. #Boro

@ThatMillwallPod The whistleblower is apparently Jason Taylor, he joined us from Boro in Oct was sacked in March because he was shit. Norwich, Hull have all come out and said they don't suspect us of anything.

Grab the Popcorn 🍿

@paulnew29783815 @TheSaintCentre Cool, our Chairman is pretty good at UK court cases.

@TheSaintCentre doesnt stop boro taking it through the civil courts if their unhappy with the outcome and they no the chairman wont hesitate if he feels he,s been wronged

🚨 Middlesbrough FC will not be part of the independent “Spygate” hearing. The case is between the English Football League and Southampton FC — meaning Boro would have no right of appeal once a verdict is reached #saintsfc [RobDorsett]

@YouthBoro @SFCMikeKavs You have to be, it's an independent panel. No EFL representatives on it, the case is EFL Vs Southampton. Not Boro Vs Southampton.

@T4NG0D0WN @SFCMikeKavs You lot have got to be the dumbest fans on the planet

Their fans won't like this - they genuinely think they're gonna have the run of the mill when it comes to the final decision of our punishment and its fucking hilarious. Now please: shut the fuck up and let the experts deal with it #SaintsFC #Boro

@YouthBoro @SFCMikeKavs You do realise how it works right?it's an independent hearing it doesn't matter who you have on the EFL board.

@SFCMikeKavs You do realize this is how it works don’t you? I suppose it’s a good job we have Neil Bauser on the EFL Board

@izzyslovenian You know you have to follow the * to the bit which subject to change right?

Tucked in right at the end: “*Subject to change” 😃 UTB

@JamesBrooksVid @AlfieHouseEcho Same!

@AlfieHouseEcho I was in cheap safe standing for Leeds and City, had a great time!

Where you dropping then? 🎟️ 🪂 #SaintsFC

@AmadMackem @SaintsExtra @LukeEdwardsTele Also... while an appeal can be made, a ruling from an appeal panel is generally considered final, as EFL rules do not allow cases to be taken to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

@T4NG0D0WN @SaintsExtra @LukeEdwardsTele The Court of Arbitration for Sport could change the decision.

🚨 Middlesbrough sources are ‘confident they have built up a compelling argument’ for Southampton to be removed from the play-offs #saintsfc @LukeEdwardsTele

@charlieldrv @SouthamptonFC @SkyBetChamp Or rearranged

@T4NG0D0WN @SouthamptonFC @SkyBetChamp So do we think it’ll fall under abandoned if they were to kick us out?

We can now confirm ticket information for the @SkyBetChamp play-off final 🎟️

@charlieldrv @SouthamptonFC @SkyBetChamp Yeah I would presume so I highly doubt the EFL wouldn't refund the fans.

@MFCboro00 @RobDorsettSky @Boropolis While an appeal can be made, a ruling from an appeal panel is generally considered final, as EFL rules do not allow cases to be taken to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

@RobDorsettSky @Boropolis Would the EFL have the right to appeal the punishment if they don't agree with it?

#boro won’t be involved in the “Spygate” independent commission hearing. It will be the EFL (as the charge-bringer) and #saintsfc (as the defendant). That is standard procedure for disciplinary cases such as this, but it means Boro will have no right of appeal after the decision.

@joecov88 @SouthamptonFC @SkyBetChamp In the event that the EFL holds the Match ‘behind closed doors’ or the postponed or abandoned Match is: (i) not re-arranged; or (ii) the Ticket holder is unable to attend the rearranged Match, the Ticket holder will be entitled to a refund of the face value of the Ticket.

@SouthamptonFC @SkyBetChamp Read the terms and conditions

@BrookMatthew @SouthamptonFC @SkyBetChamp In the event that the EFL holds the Match ‘behind closed doors’ or the postponed or abandoned Match is: (i) not re-arranged; or (ii) the Ticket holder is unable to attend the rearranged Match, the Ticket holder will be entitled to a refund of the face value of the Ticket.

@SouthamptonFC @SkyBetChamp Where are the super special terms we are meant to be aware of?

@charlieldrv @SouthamptonFC @SkyBetChamp In the event that the EFL holds the Match ‘behind closed doors’ or the postponed or abandoned Match is: (i) not re-arranged; or (ii) the Ticket holder is unable to attend the rearranged Match, the Ticket holder will be entitled to a refund of the face value of the Ticket

@SouthamptonFC @SkyBetChamp Nothing in T&Cs regarding expulsion so if the worst was to happen, are refunds an option?

@ryanganderson22 @SouthamptonFC @SkyBetChamp It means that the Hull game didn't qualify

@SouthamptonFC @SkyBetChamp I’m confused by this bit? Is this meant to say Boro or does it mean if you went to saints vs hull before, you may not get a ticket for the final?

@TomeeDD @EFL_Comms @EFL Will do, gotta get up early for Wembley next week

@T4NG0D0WN @EFL_Comms @EFL If you’re tired fella, you should probably take yourself to bed 👍

🚨🎟️ Southampton release full ticket information for the Championship play-off final #saintsfc southamptonfc.com/en/news/articl…

@Connor__Reed @JF0RSURE__ @SaintsExtra @RobDorsettSky Incorrect, if the decision goes against us or we (Saints) don't agree with the punishment we can appeal. It just means Boro can't appeal any judgement for or against.

@JF0RSURE__ @SaintsExtra @RobDorsettSky Decision will be final.

🚨 Breaking: Middlesbrough won’t be involved in the “Spygate” independent commission hearing — it will be the EFL (as the charge-bringer) and Southampton (as the defendant) — it means Boro will have no right of appeal after the decision #saintsfc @RobDorsettSky

@TheSaintCentre Rumours he was sacked in March?
