@Chris476124 @Sfc_Lanky @thehoist6 You didn't have to change your strategy! The spy was caught and the pathetic 15mins of footage was deleted. There was no advantage! You battered us for 70mins in the first leg but couldn't put chances away. That's what saints fans are arguing about

@Sfc_Lanky @thehoist6 you lot think it's having to change our strategy 2 days before the first game had zero impact on the result, you won after extra time. My money is on more coming out about your cheating in other games too now it's been identified.

Since spygate began I never had any involvement with Saints fans, but recently I have never seen a bunch of fans so deluded and blaming everyone but themselves in this whole saga. Hellberg said he felt sorry for the fans and I agreed, not anymore

@MichaelCGlasper @SFCBenW @Boro Derby?

@SFCBenW @Boro Club with the lowest ever Premier league points total says what?

A statement from the club.

@mikemaca No, I'm sure there would have been a marginal gain from doing it, had they received the footage & been there long enough (still stupid). But the playoff semis were played. We won over 2 legs fairly, on the pitch. Punishment needs to reflect the intention, not change the result

@batfink89 The only relevance if there was no advantage to be gained, is why did Southampton take the risk and do it?

So the same Southampton fans that said nothing happened, now saying it did but it was only an iPhone. Getting bored now of reminding them Apple claim a modern iPhone can record in Cinematic 4K. Even if he had a Nokia 3310(look it up😂) he was there to deliberately break the rules and cheat. Irrelevant if any advantage was or wasn't gained. It's still cheating #Boro

@mikemaca Its not irrelevant though, is it

@batfink89 But the punishment won’t be based on if they gained a sporting advantage or not, because that’s not mentioned in the rule. That’s why it’s irrelevant.

@mikemaca Oh I agree it was stupid and pointless. I agree it broke a rule. My point is that the club gained nothing from a sporting perspective. And the punishment needs to fit the crime

@batfink89 You would be better asking Southampton what advantage they were hoping to gain by sending someone 300 miles to watch our training. The rule doesn’t say you have to get an advantage. Just you can’t do it.

@CarlDraper98 Cheat

Good Job we have Bausor on the EFL board isn’t it #boro #saintsfc

@davepM2808 @sainthudson Course it was

@batfink89 @sainthudson It’s a joke ya mong!!! Lighten up…

Like stealing a Mars bar and getting life in prison 🤣 #SaintsFC

@mikemaca Not really

@batfink89 Again point well and truly missed 🤦🏼‍♂️

Sick of hearing what info could be got by an Intern with a phone. Well here we go:- Last week EFL player of the year, Hayden Hackney was injured. Rumours circulating that he may be fit for the play offs. If all he did was see with his own eyes, that Hackney was not involved in training, then a competitive advantage has been gained. That information alone would help their preparation regardless of anything else #Boro

@AyresomeGates I think you're confusing people not accepting the fact that the club did wrong and defending the punishment suggested by many boro fans

Pennies are slowly starting to drop on the #SaintsFC hashtag! 🍿It's only taken them a week to consider looking inwards at their own club as a possible place to point the finger... #ButButButItsJustALadWithAniPhone "Wait, we might actually be guilty & get chucked out" Never?! 😂

@davepM2808 @sainthudson That would imply we stole the final. We didn't. We didn't even steal the semis. In fact, we got caught before we even stole the mars bar. So, not a 200mil mars bar, is it

@sainthudson £200 mil mars bar

@SaintsExtra @LukeEdwardsTele The Southampton whistle blower...

🚨 Middlesbrough are thought to have evidence that suggests last week was not an isolated incident – this includes a statement from a whistleblower at Southampton who has alleged that spying on opposition teams was a regular occurrence this season #saintsfc @LukeEdwardsTele

@Super_Pompey That's a fucking small cabinet if its full

Heard they'd been spying on our trophy cabinet, they wanted to see what a full cabinet looked like 🤣

@mikemaca So what advantage was gained?

@batfink89 I’m not quite sure that will be the defence Southampton go with😂Yes we cheated and broke the rules but the footage was deleted so we fine 🤦🏼‍♂️

@MarsAQuintet @simonyoung68 @AdamBlackmore 2 wrongs and all that. Can't be incensed at a lack of integrity and then defend your own lack of integrity 😅.

@simonyoung68 @AdamBlackmore Oh look, Southampton fans now concerned about GDPR and fairness. Couldn't make it up. The moral of the story is the guy shouldn't have travelled 280 miles, stood on private property, filmed against multiple EFL rules gaining an unsporting advantage. You're done.

If I had to guess how this #SaintsFc spy mess is going to turn out if found guilty, I’d go: 500k fine 3pts docked at the start of next season And if an individual turns out to be responsible for authorising it, a possible 6 month ban That’s my nearest the pin currently⛳️

@AdamBlackmore 3pt deduction probably relegates us next season, so that's quite significant

@dettmer93 Not really. A rule was created because of that Leeds incident. Before, the rule wasn't defined enough and Leeds felt they'd found a loophole. In this case, we've broken a clearly set rule

If we get kicked out and Leeds got a 200,000 fine that is despicable and grounds for a big court case. #SaintsFC

@AVFCTranstweet @jimmyleeknight Literally not allowed to talk about it

@jimmyleeknight Hasn’t condoned the behaviour of the club at all in the build up.

Tonda Eckhart is classless. #saintsfc

@AVFCTranstweet Yeah, but Tonda Eckert has class
