@The_Speshal @SaintsExtra @AlfieHouseEcho Intimidation is considered a form of bullying, yes. Pressuring someone to do something they don’t want to do (in this case breaking league rules, not ‘just doing their job’) is an example of it

@_JackL_ @SaintsExtra @AlfieHouseEcho I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Whilst the terms bullying and pressure have been used, I haven’t seen proof shown of this. If your boss tells you to do a job, but you don’t really want to, but do it anyway cuz he’s the boss, is that bullying and intimidation?

🚨 Southampton chiefs are still deliberating over Tonda Eckert’s future, with the feelings of players to play a big role — there is anger in the dressing room, as well as recognition of his talents #saintsfc @AlfieHouseEcho

@Ollyjohnson_67 @JoeCWard @AlexComber_ It was Hellberg’s choice not to train on Tuesday/Wednesday

@JoeCWard @AlexComber_ The team were off Tuesday as well . Nobody can say we had a good prep with 2 sessions 😭

Hull City were preparing to play Southampton, until changing their preparation plans on Wednesday. Middlesbrough had the whole week to prepare for Hull City. If anything, Spygate would have affected Hull more than Boro.

@Sara520S You do know that’s because Tice turned the comments off, right?

@Sarahleigh65 You do know that’s because Tice turned the comments off, right?

Except you don’t or your replies would be open 😉😉 Flip flop Burnham !!!

@L1minus10 It’s making Reading v Huddersfield look like an all-time classic

This will be known as the zero quality play-off final

@slbsn @AlfieHouseEcho Do agree, but he should have declared a conflict of interest as perception is very important in these matters.

@AlfieHouseEcho Yes. Just reinforcing👍

Total red herring. He played 1 game on loan and there was never any objection from Southampton anyway. The panel wasn't biased.

@SaintsExtra @mjshrimper @TheAthleticFC Needs to go either way. Even if he wasn’t aware (doubt), he should have known what was happening in his own department and is there incompetent.

🚨 @mjshrimper: “Johannes Spors denied all knowledge [of spying], that was his testimony on Tuesday. There is nothing in the evidence that has emerged so far that implicates him.” #saintsfc @TheAthleticFC

@_jonnyb1 From what I heard of the meeting they had with the CEO yesterday, they REALLY didn’t

The players knew, they all knew.

@AdamBlackmore A cancerous culture that needs ripping out immediately. Absolutely incredible that he and others have still not been sacked

EFL ruling cites “a particularly deplorable approach in its use of junior members of staff to conduct the clandestine observations at the direction of senior personnel” #SaintsFc

@Gideon19961 @liamtribb They employed him so they’re accountable

@liamtribb Nothing to do with SR this all on Tonda

Peretz and Larin gone without a send off Well done SR

@The_Speshal @SaintsExtra @CraigHope_DM Lallana

@_JackL_ @SaintsExtra @CraigHope_DM Nope it’s the right call. Who else could step in to most important match of the season? (not that we’ll get it)

🚨 For now, Tonda Eckert 'retains the support' of the Southampton hierarchy & would take charge of the play-off final, if Saints get there — beyond that, his future is less certain #saintsfc @CraigHope_DM

@mattarichardson @sportingintel We’ve the better players but you’re a better coached team, that much is clear.

@sportingintel As a Boro fan I feel for the fans, it's not your fault. Over both legs you were the better team, although we got the better of you in the league so who knows who is the better side. No team will do this again, EFL have made sure of it. Someone needs to be accountable within.

Just seen the EFL ruling on Spygate. My team (Saints) broke the rules and we'll accept the punishment. Embarrassed about this pointless act, still. But integrity has to win out. Hope that can play out across the game, everywhere, for everyone.

@SaintsExtra @SkySportsNews More chance of John Westwood having a bath this year

🚨 Breaking: Southampton believe that with tomorrow’s appeal, there is still ‘a very strong chance’ that they will be in Saturday’s play-off final #saintsfc @SkySportsNews

@AdamBlackmore When people show you who they are, believe them…

If the #SaintsFc appeal isn’t successful - and it may be still - I would expect most fans after getting over the shock will be expecting the club to act strongly against any individual responsible because this is way to dark a day for it to be treated any other way - whoever it is

@OptaAnalyst @OptaJoe Clear error in Celtic v Hearts. Trusty is fouled and not Scales. Please can this be rectified

@shockham23 Going on private mode on a browser worked for me

How did everyone fix friends/family being incorrectly greyed out last time? Worked fine for semi finals but not working this time 🎫 #Saintsfc

@SaintsExtra THB Manning Peretz Scienza Jander

Who would you rank as #SaintsFC's top five performing players this season? 🌟📊

@cj_garrett @AlfieHouseEcho Correct I believe as it’s EFL v Saints not Boro v Saints

@AlfieHouseEcho Would I be right in saying that Boro couldn’t appeal if we were just given a fine? But we could appeal if we get kicked out…?

Once again, I don't think this changes much but glad tickets are on sale soon. EFL have no choice but to leave options open for independent commission. Interesting that the statement includes specific mention of contingencies to allow 'appeals process' if needed tho. #SaintsFC
