@DarcySutherlan4 Fans complain players only care about the £££ they earn playing for their club, there's nothing wrong with being gutted and kicking off cos you've not been picked, shows you care.

The Maguire family confirming exactly what I said earlier, absolutely embarrassing. You’d think it was prime John Terry that was being left out the way these clowns are going on.

@smorgy13 @L1minus10 I think the sanction is fair. Teams lose a cup tie for fielding an ineligible player, you broke the rules here so fair the same thing happens. Consequences for saints are huge but that shouldn't determine the sanction. Feel sorry for fans but entirely the club's fault.

@L1minus10 Considering all of the possible misdemeanours a club could make .. it’s a ridiculously high tariff for a mid /mid-high range offence ! We can’t complain as we are to blame but the EFL have backed themselves into a corner with this level of sanction

Well colour me surprised. Knew we were absolutely fucked as soon as that statement came out earlier today. #saintsfc

@mister_firth Like it or not, Gemma Collins has millions of followers and reach with people unengaged in education. Educationists have a few thousand at most. So it was a bit cringe but I can understand why DfE did it and think they deserve a bit of credit for trying something different.

Knocked it out the park with this one guys 👏

@LeagueOne25 Not sure why you'd choose that, unless it's linked to sponsors?

Doncaster Rovers have renamed their stadium to… Club Doncaster Sports Village ⚔️ Thoughts?🤔 #DRFC

@Betfair @alanshearer Not a fan of any of these teams but find this argument completely bizarre. They stood to gain £200m by cheating - so by not allowing them to get away with it they've been "fined" £200m? Absolute bollocks.

"I'm not sure the crime meets the punishment" @alanshearer on the Spygate saga...

@TheSunFootball If anyone was guaranteed to have a stupid take on this it's Twat Le Tissier

🗣️ "It feels like you've been put on trial for murder when all you've done is stolen a mars bar!" Matt Le Tissier is not happy with Southampton's removal from the Championship playoff final 😡 #SaintsFC #EFL

@DavidForst28554 @SaintsExtra @AlfieHouseEcho @SkyNews That doesn't make the punishment unfair. It just makes what they did - repeatedly, and knowing that it was against the rules - all the more stupid.

@SaintsExtra @AlfieHouseEcho @SkyNews There is no bigger game in the Football League calendar. Worth £200m, tell me if that’s disproportionate to the outcome?

🚨 @AlfieHouseEcho: “People at Southampton have put it to me that they feel they’ve been given a death sentence for shoplifting.” #saintsfc @SkyNews

@PucaNapuki @Callum7McFadden Peckham branch of Rumbelows?

@Callum7McFadden Trivia Question: What was George Graham’s first managerial job? (Nobody will get this without looking it up.)

Erm… George Graham was a former Arsenal player and led the club to two top flight titles… Massive error on the Arsenal website.

@williammorton11 @Callum7McFadden They say he's the first person to do that for Arsenal (which is true post 1992)?

@Callum7McFadden They also claim that arteta is the first premier league player to win as a manager when that honour goes to Mancini,Arsenal just making up their own facts.

@DeborahMeaden Bewildering responses. It's obviously untrue. 12,000 arrested (not jailed) under the malicious communications act. Stalking, harassment, online scams, hoax 999 calls. A few, very extreme cases of social media posts. Are people stupid or do they prefer living in cloudcuckooland?

Neither is it true.

@sistoney67 @SouthamptonFC The rules they broke were introduced AFTER Leeds were found guilty so comparison with Leeds is irrelevant. They're making themselves look even worse.

Told @SouthamptonFC lawyers were intending to work overnight re EFL appeal given time they were getting the precise reasons for decision. Club feel punishment exceptionally excessive, compared to Leeds. Club staff told by chief executive Phil Parsons club are confident yesterday's decision will be reversed. All parties agreed to get situation dealt with today so match can take place on Saturday.

@HancockAnalysis Pretty odd take imo. Bit like saying Sheff Wed shouldn't be relegated (joke).

(I think Hull probably should’ve just been given the promotion automatically)

@McsweeneyGB @PrimeShade @DeborahMeaden This act covers things like stalking and harassment.

@NNymarine @DeborahMeaden No they are not. This legislation covers stalking and harassment, 12,000 people are not arrested for social media posts.

@DeborahMeaden You're a moron a simple internet search or using AI to search proves both are true

@BennHughes1984 @garethwynhughes @DeborahMeaden No it is not. These arrests are for stalking and harassment, not just social media posts.

@garethwynhughes @DeborahMeaden It’s true, do you care to correct yourself? Do a little research of your own??

@JezBroadsword @garethwynhughes @DeborahMeaden The number refers to arrests under this legislation which primarily covers stalking and harassment, not social media posts

@garethwynhughes @DeborahMeaden Just dismissing the number is also misinformation. The number is true, but that's the number of arrests, not jail sentences.

@Francis71184232 @DeborahMeaden No they are not.

@DeborahMeaden People have gone to jail for Twitter posts and over 12,000 people have been arrested for them. Both things are true you fucking clown.

@MichelleWi63723 @DeborahMeaden Untrue. This legislation covers stalking and harassment. Those are the things that lead to imprisonment

@DeborahMeaden 12,000+ ARRESTS, 1,119 were PROSECUTED. There are 1,119 people who are currently sitting in prison for tweets. Are you happy with those numbers? Do you think that’s normal for a country with “free speech”? Have you researched any of these cases? No, you haven’t.

@AmeriCanadian70 @DeborahMeaden It's completely untrue.

@DeborahMeaden When you are arrested. You go to Jail. It doesn't say convicted. 12000 arrests for social media post is fucking terrible. Don’t try to minimize this.

@George_Davison1 @DeborahMeaden Largely for stalking and harassment, not social media posts. That is what this legislation primarily covers.

You’re technically correct, but also avoiding the main point of the argument. -arrests are still a big disincentive. Enough to buy the silence of ordinary people -it’s a large number compared to other countries -largely for comms that may be tasteful but are not threatening anyone in particular So the good faith engagement is explain how the scope of “hate speech” doesn’t just widen to anything the government is ideologically against
