@AdamAzor No rule in place when Leeds did it ,rule in place when Southampton CHEATED ,that's the difference ,no sympathy at all ,CHEATERS never prosper

Leeds 200k fine #Saintsfc 200m+ fine and -4 points. This is obviously disproportionate. However while it’s a ridiculous decision & should have the penalty reversed by appeal . I don’t see this happening.

@dkaustin87 CHEATS

Everyone needs to calm down, put X away and get a good night’s sleep. The punishment is completely disproportionate to the crime and the club are right to appeal it #saintsfc

@dettmer93 @EFL Fully deserved , decent clubs don’t cheat

Honestly, the @EFL need to realise you set a ridiculously huge punishment precedent by kicking us out of the biggest game in football. No punishment for other clubs caught doing similar will come close. #saintsfc

@SaintsDanSFC Dry your eyes cheats never prosper

Nah fuck off that's a fucking joke that, if anything HULL CITY should have been promoted to the Premier League. Absolute JOKE! The babies got their own way look... #SaintsFC

@EFL_Comms Up the boro

An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubs’ training. In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table. The effect of today’s order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed. 📘 efl.com/news/2026/may/…

@RalphInUEFA Dry your eyes

Anyone notice how few leaks there have been now Boro are no longer involved? 😉 #saintsfc

Never forget Lee Rigby never forgive the governments for allowing more foreigners that mean harm to us into our country since this poor young man was so brutally murdered never forgive the countless others since then who have been slaughtered all for the sake of votes

@Sfc_debs Steve Gibson has asked for sporting sanctions no monetary ,check your facts before spouting rubbish

My view, for what’s its worth, is that Boro’s actions are driven by money rather than a sense of justice. If they get compensation & #Saintsfc get the play off final, a compromise will be reached. #Saintsfc to chuck Boro a load of cash and face a points deduction if we lose.

@DanBarts8 Bottom line is this ,your club decided to cheat and break the rules ,why I don't know especially as you were the in form team ,boro certainly were not ,why the hell did your lot even think of doing it ? Utter madness

@Webb1968 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Graham I fully understand the situation, I’m asking you to not use that as an excuse for how poorly you played over the course of both legs. If you’d have won, we wouldn’t be having this conversation, don’t kid yourself. You boro lot would be lapping it up!

@DanBarts8 You really don't get it do you ,even if we had won ,we would still have brought your cheating to the attention of the EFl ,because our club abides by the rules ,your club didn't ,is that clear enough

@Webb1968 In case you haven’t quite worked it out yet, you had 210 minutes of football to try win and get into the final. Don’t use spygate as an excuse for your team being piss poor in the second leg, And for that Conway missing 2 sitters in the first leg!

@DavidFe20490699 One things for sure you will have all boro behind you if it happens

How brilliant will it be if we beat the cheating bastards.. #hcafc

@followSaints76 Idiotic

Here's what probably happened. Salt no longer with #saintsfc, fact. Salt paid by Gibson to get his photo taken with an iPhone and use his credit card as additional evidence. Now cooperating with the boro witch hunt... Saints arent cheats, #boro are. Plot twist

@StuartJones7 Unless your the opposing team within 72 hours of a match , is it that hard to understand

Maybe #boro can spend some of their compensation money on building a few fences around their training ground? Must be the only club in the top 2 divisions where you can lawfully walk up and watch them train from the side of a road. 🕵️ #saintsfc

@mattlegod7 If the game goes ahead I hope Hull smash you cheats all over the pitch and go up

To be honest, seeing how Middlesbrough have performed lately, them against Hull would be proper pony and a terrible advert for the championship worldwide. So thank god that sense has prevailed, and we will have a game worthy of a final. #saintsfc #caseclosed #wemarchon 😇

@RalphInUEFA Absulutely deluded

Boro fans keep banging on about us ‘benefiting’ from our breach of the rules if we go through to the final. We haven’t, it has had no material impact on the result of the match. #saintsfc

@SfcSanJose7 Utter bollocks

No evidence Will Salt was Sent. No evidence Will Salt was Paid. No evidence anything (Salt), recorded was given back to anyone at the Club. No evidence it had any impact on the two legs. No evidence of prior spying by Salt. Verdict: Salt Guilty, Club misdemeanor #SaintsFC

Out of the mouths of babes.... This is England... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 "I'm not far right, I'm not racist, I just want to walk to school safely." She is more grown up than the middle class left.

@SaintsDanSFC better than supporting a club that cheats tbh

I see more & more people are starting to realise/notice that Middlesbrough FC are milking the situation to the best of their abilities... Because they are straight up sore losers. #SaintsFC

@KevvyJ63 How many times do you lot need to be told ,the issue is you cheated not the bloody outcome

Went from 2nd (for ages) to 5th! Beaten over 210 mins. Didn’t buy a striker. Can’t convert chances. SFC have accepted the charge and are attending the Independent Review. But apparently in ‘intern’ with an iPhone is to blame bcos they didn’t make the Prem? 😂😂
