@JuceeRob @HughWoozencroft If sending spy’s out every week gets you that many points then watch this space. Everyone will be doing it…….you don’t perform that well because of recordings….. you do it by performing on the field

@HughWoozencroft Southampton gained 38/42 available points in the run in, who else did they spy on? They were also using recording equipment and audio equipment. Bielsa sent a bloke with some hedge trimmers and binoculars 🕵🏼‍♀️

When Eckert ended his press conference, someone in the room said 'Have some respect'. I was infuriated by that already, but this hammers it home. I hope Saints are innocent. If not, it will have shown a lot of disrespect to the game, EFL, fans everywhere & fellow professionals.

@charliewring1 Behave you melt! What there stating is true!

Again, don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but SURELY the media team would be told to keep quiet if a decision had not been made behind the scenes? #SaintsFC

@GBB1128505 @Chris_BoroUTB Best boro over 210 minutes. I think there more then allowed. They’ve been stupid but some kid recording something from outside the training ground hasn’t impacted the result. A hefty fine and with a point deduction, suspended if we go up or for next year if we stay down

@adj_09 @Chris_BoroUTB It is more likely that it was said but, on reflection, he did not want to exclude a fellow professional from the biggest game of his life because of it (not that Southampton should be allowed to get there).

Luke Ayling could’ve pushed this further and nobody would’ve blamed him. Instead, he’s handled it with dignity and class from start to finish. Takes a strong character to rise above personal mockery in the heat of a massive game. Great bloke and leader at #Boro

@c_0L_e Bit of a contradiction mate. Sending a speccy ninja is up there as one of the best dark arts win at all costs ideas 😂

Call me woke but I honestly think they should be thrown out. I love a “dark arts win at all costs” team more than anyone but ya can’t just send some speccy ninja with a camera to someone else’s training ground man

@LukeEdwardsTele What if the glove doesn’t fit?

Nothing has changed. We know they did it. They know they did it. Who knew what is all that is left to debate.

@FlynnJonas2 And no VAR! 🙌

Dream scenario…. We beat Hull at Wembley…. Get to experience that amazing feeling of 2 years ago Two weeks later they kick us out Hull go up We stay in the Championship but are technically a Premier League club So we sue for Millions And stay in EFL 👌🏻 #SaintsFC

@arka1m_ Rumour has it his iPhone was an MI5 agents laser weapon and he was there to fry them all internally and weaken them for the playoffs. Seems plausible

#boro spent 207 days in the top 2 this season, had a 7-match winless run in March/April and bottled automatics, scored a single goal in 210 minutes in the semi-final and lost but it's a Southampton analyst's fault. #saintsfc

@astuaryking @dailyboronews @Sfc_debs Still not sold on the ‘winning’ aspect

@adj_09 @dailyboronews @Sfc_debs We spent half of those 30 years in the Premier League. Three League Cup finals, an FA Cup final, a UEFA Cup final. Seems alright to me.

We should hit Boro with a counter claim for reg. 3.4. Feeding lies to the media about ‘professional surveillance equipment’ etc to get the press frothing and unsettling our team. If they had a complaint they should have gone straight to the EFL not leaking to the media #saintsfc

“It must be noted that it is possible Southampton are guilty of no offence and the charge may still be dismissed” Nobody wants to discuss this because it’s boring and doesn’t stir up a frenzy #saintsfc

@dailyboronews @Sfc_debs Gibson didn’t win two games in this playoff In 30 years he’s won one cup 2 promotions in 30 years Gibson doesn’t win everything! Life is full of disappointments (Before you say it, probably won more then us. But I’m not making the claim 😂)

@Sfc_debs and you said he done it on his own back on his own money and the club didnt know he done it 👍 so try that one. 3 things that are guranteed in life. death, taxes, gibson winning everything

@Craigyrobbo81 Thought your boys were unlucky to be fair. Gave it everything, just fell short in terms of fitness. Our squad rotation probably helped. Best team we’ve played in the past 20 games

@adj_09 At half time when this was posted, yes I was. Also at the end of the game to be fair.

I’m raging at what a set of cheating bastards Southampton are. Off the pitch, on the pitch, the lot. And the weak as piss referee giving free kicks every time their lot lick the grass, touched or not. Fuck off. #Boro

@BoroMundo Finished as a coach 😂 give over man! People write some garbage! Poor fella best go and sign on the doll on Monday 😂

As far as Boro are concerned, I think our race has ran as promotion goes. But I do think Southampton are in real bother. I think Eckhart could be finished as a coach.

@James_clark1 @ged_trainor @Boropolis @garystonehouse I can’t see the EFL punishing the players. They have earnt it with their performance. I struggle to see what we gained. Which makes the whole thing baffling of course. We dominated you in the air and with fitness. We didn’t need training vids to tell us that

@adj_09 @ged_trainor @Boropolis @garystonehouse But they cheated. Nobody could say that an advantage wasn't in some way gained from the information. If they hadn't done it then this discussion wouldn't happen. Other clubs have been kicked out of tornements for breaking the rules before. The lesson will be learnt the hard way.

🚨 | BREAKING: Middlesbrough are set to present evidence that at least TWO other clubs were spied on by Southampton. [@garystonehouse] #Boro | #UTB | #SaintsFC thesun.co.uk/sport/39092888…

@ironsmog @Boropolis @garystonehouse Clutching at straws. Guarantee most teams are doing similar stuff. Seems you’re allowed to do it as long as it’s not 72 hours before 😂 the interns just got the wrong day! Sack him for his negligence

@adj_09 @Boropolis @garystonehouse It’s not about us. It’s about the integrity of the league. Something you seemingly barely understand.

@WayneEveri75947 @Boropolis @garystonehouse Be interesting to see what the report says. Nothing is confirmed yet.

@adj_09 @Boropolis @garystonehouse It's not good , you cheated , simples 👍👍

@ArchieAOA @SouthamptonFC @HullCity Breaking FFP rules is 10x worse than this. That directly affects every game. An intern taking a few vids of a training session hasn’t defined a 2 leg tie! If anything I think it made you lot play better for 2 45 mins! You just run out of steam. Thought you made us look shite.

@adj_09 @SouthamptonFC @HullCity Not cheating directly against any one opponent so although I do agree they shouldn’t be breaking the rules, and deserve punishment, the advantage you lot have gained is to a personal level on Middlesbrough fc

If as a neutral you took nothing else from today’s game, it’s that @SouthamptonFC are absolutely disgusting and do not belong anywhere near the premier league. If legal action doesn’t punish them, then I hope Hull do, you’ve got the support of the nation @HullCity

@KJA_mfc Because the EFL would want miss out on a big final pay day🤷‍♂️ that games being played regardless of opinion.

If true just send Hull up, it's not about us getting to Wembley for me now, I dont think I could get in the right heads pace for it and unsure the players could, just dont let cheating go unpunished

@lorniex @FootballLeagueW To be fair we played the majority of the game last night with 10 1/2 men as Scienza was crocked. That was your advantage 👍😜

@FootballLeagueW I think if you break the rules to gain the advantage the punishment must be to give back the advantage to the team who has been aggrieved. Fines or points make no difference to Boro at this time. They must go. They cheated. It’s not good sport. End of.

What do you think? 👇

@DavidLayto25231 @FootballLeagueW And yet Man City haven’t been punished 🤷‍♂️😂

@FootballLeagueW Yes they are no different from Manchester City breaking rules and should be made a example i through football was a gentleman's game so they need to be punished severely by the football league Leeds only got fine but football league should make example so it stops the cheats
