No Palmer, Foden, Maguire or Shaw - a lot of England tournament experience being left at home here. Big gamble from Tuchel imo #ThreeLions

If the EFL had any balls whatsoever they would just promote Hull automatically. Putting Boro into the final just create's another headache should they beat Hull, when Hull have been preparing to face us for the last 10 days. £200k for Leeds. £200m for Saints. Farcical.

@saintspins You don’t win £200 million, you gain that through being in premier league which was by no means a given you would win.

@charliewring1 Imagines the scenes of you don’t. Oh wait, we don’t, we can see them as you didn’t. Total condemnation for how your club has behaved save the odd person who didn’t think it was that bad.

@IamBalhamMatt Some leniency you got Matt. Your club has truly let the fans down and tarnished the clubs reputation for years to come.

#SaintsFC #Boro It wouldn’t surprise me if the lies and exaggerations over #spygate significantly contribute to the leniency of the eventual punishment we get. When you claim that there’s been a “campaign of spying throughout the season”, this naturally conjures up images of military-grade equipment, sophisticated microphones and a coordinated team of individuals. When you build something up like that and the big reveal is the photo below, the natural human reaction of any neutral is bound to be (aside from a roar of laughter) “is that it?

👨‍💼 Lord Pannick KC, who Southampton have called in for tonight's appeal, represented Manchester City when they successfully overturned a two-year ban from European competition after being found guilty of breaking UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules in 2020 #saintsfc

@henrywinter I think Harwood-Bellis is somewhat toxic now. Not sure who is going to want to be associated with him. Can’t help but think that the actions of him and some of the Saints fans have contributed to their punishment.

Southampton lose their way, lose their appeal and will probably lose some of their players. Leo Scienza, Flynn Downes, Caspar Jander, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Shea Charles and Finn Azaz will doubtless all have Premier League admirers. Spygate, and the club’s inept handling of the fall-out, will have reverberations through the summer and beyond. Players and supporters let down by the club.

#SaintsFC #boro #Spygate Taking the emotion out of it, if a club is exposed, for example, as instructing their players to foul high up the pitch to prevent opponents’ counterattacks, should that also be punished with expulsion and points deductions? Is that also not cheating?

Disappointing to see the glee @henrywinter has shown watching #saintsfc go through what they’ve gone through over the past few days, especially when most of the football community agreed that the punishment was disproportionate. Part of the old boys club I guess.

@IamBalhamMatt Proportionality, you tried to cheat another club out of their shot at £200 Million promotion opportunity. Therefore it’s only fair you were kicked out. In all reality, it’s the same as having the match awarded as a 3-0 loss which would mean you lost 4-2 in semis. Totally fair.

I still haven’t had an answer to the question of why spying is worse than, for instance, intentionally fouling high up the pitch to prevent counterattacks as a premeditated tactic. I’ve heard variants of: 1) Rarara I hate Southampton hahaha you’re out. (Fine, but not an argument) 2) Shouldn’t have cheated then! (Doesn’t address proportionality) 3) Fouls, diving etc. are dealt with in-game (obviously not enough to discourage it which was the main argument for the prosecution in the Saints FC case). 4) How can you compare it to a dive or a foul? (I’m talking about a premeditated strategy involving intentional rule-breaking). 5) Spying gives you a huge advantage, bigger than coordinated, intentional fouling or injuring opponents. (The likes of Shearer, Murphy, O’Hara and Cundy who have played the game at the highest level have come out and said it would have made a minimal difference). I’ve accepted that Saints fucked around and found out, and all associated within the club need to go, but until I get an answer which lies outside one of those 5 listed above, I’ll be of the opinion we’ve been treated very harshly with a completely disproportionate punishment. This *is* the footballing equivalent of the death penalty for shoplifting - and if you’re a Saints fan reading this, bottle that sense of injustice inside, make an absolute racket at Saint Mary’s next season - and you watch, teams will crumble against us as they’ve always done, and just like #Boro and even #Arsenal did on the pitch. #SaintsFC #Spygate

@SaintsExtra @talkSPORT The EFL is the only major league in Europe that has a "72-hour" rule against "Spying". La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 & the Prem operates under a fair play mandate. Meaning the EFL's Reg 127 is an anomaly born out of local media panic from the 2019 Marcelo Bielsa scandal
