@St_Burridge For example if you field an ineligible player in the play offs, you get kicked out of the playoffs.

What happens if a mid table team does it half way through the season, do they get kicked out the league, no, they’ll get a fine and potential points deduction.. we’ll get the same #saintsfc

@St_Burridge @Christo82355278 Nope.

@Christo82355278 With the same rules and regulations as the regular season 🤦🏻‍♂️

@GraemeBandeira There is also a suggestion of a whistleblower from Southampton who has been assisting, which potentially backs up your theory.

I'll take a wild guess and say that the latest stalling statement from the EFL suggests that other clubs have perhaps come forward with evidence and they'll be looking at this over the weekend... This also gives me opportunity to use my favourite dog gif again 😆

@markcottle17 @Boro Bit embarrassing your football club broke the rules. Mate.

Bit embarrassing @Boro you chuck away automatic promotion get beat over 2 legs and try and blame Just William for all of it , let’s be honest you just were not good enough

@SophyRidgeSky Sorry. Which conflict have we entered?

Rachel Reeves - silent until now - makes intervention this morning: “Labour MPs have got an important decision to make today, but the numbers show that the economy is growing and that when we entered this conflict, our economy was growing strongly because of the decisions that I have made as chancellor, we shouldn’t put that at risk.”

@aaronjamesf1 Nope just let Hull have promotion.

So let's assume #saintsfc are kicked out of playoffs for a minute. - Could Millwall argue that the fairest way to resolve final is for them and Boro to face each other to decide who takes the final spot? - Wrexham might object as they finished just outside of playoffs.

@OC He got caught, they did see him. It’s not difficult really.

I'm biased as a Southampton fan but how could an intern not be seen 'hiding' in plain sight by this lone tree? If the team didn't see him, they don't deserve to be in the Premiership #spygate

@Tomdiff23 @chiragcp1982 It really isn’t.

@chiragcp1982 You can not legally, tell the world that someone information like this, this is serious breach of data protection

Surely boro have broken data protection rules by leaking that our lad used his bank card…

@MikeJudges1 Nope. Playoffs is a different competition. Kick them out, Hull promoted.

The whole spygate argument about punishment proportionate to the crime is what media is missing. I think big fine and points deduction. It’s not financial doping which has a proven advantage.Hard to prove advantage gained from what we did, it’s a sporting conduct issue. #Saintsfc

@Captain5MFC @CazB52 @Sfc_debs The rule didn’t exist when Leeds got done.

@CazB52 @Sfc_debs One rule is just a bit general if playing nicely. It’s what Leeds got done for. The other one is about clubs trying not to observe or actually observe other teams within 72 hours of a match.

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

@HullCityXtra Let Hull have it.

The #saintsfc fan on talk sport just there has hit the nail on the head, everyones caught up in the boro/saints part of #spygate where theres an angle that should saints be removed from the final, #hcafc would have a shorter amount of time to prep, unlike both boro and saints..

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

@Boropolis @garystonehouse My cup of tears is overflowing! You had two games to do the business! You failed! That’s on you! Spying is wrong, the club should be punished but not by being kicked out of something they have earnt. Let’s be real. Some videos of a few free kicks doesn’t win you game

🚨 | 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…

@prodnose As a Boro fan just give it to hull

I think they should have arranged another Championship play off game tonight. Millwall v Middlesbrough. See who gets to go up should Southampton be guilty of their Watergate type espionage.

@AdamBlackmore Cloud cuckoo land

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⛳️

@Puel_Out You clearly don’t understand GDPR

Weird of Boro to release the image and personal details to the press rather than the EFL. Not the proper way of doing things and also a GDPR breach. Odd for such a morally superior club 🤔 #SaintsFC

Tinker Taylor Solskjaer Spy

@Connor0744 How come?

I’d imagine the release of photos etc is a sign that this isn’t going the way Boro wanted

@Danwulfe @ChapelKopArise @AlfieHouseEcho @AdamBlackmore It really won’t.

@ChapelKopArise @AlfieHouseEcho @AdamBlackmore It could lead to Mr Salt suing the paper, Boro and the hotel.

This is a genuine question here: Is it legal to disclose information such as a name on a bank card, that has been used for a purchase at a hotel? Could ‘gibbo’ have just shot himself in the foot with a GDPR breach? @AlfieHouseEcho @AdamBlackmore #saintsfc

@andrewstevo39 Just let Hull have it

I'd happily go to the playoff final via default. Seen a few fans saying they wouldn't like it if it came about but you break the rules and cheat then its your own fault. A fine is nothing especially if they go on to win the playoffs and a points deduction will mean nowt 🤣

@ObscureThing77 So what?

the thing that a lot of these fans arent getting is that it had zero effect on the game. if anything, it made boro even more determined to win. they battered us and should have scored at least 4 or 5 goals. they didnt take their chances and paid the price in the end. get over it
