@AdamAzor For the love of God... Leeds didn't break any rules because the rules hadn't been created yet. The rules were put in place once Leeds did Spygate 1.0

Leeds 200k fine #Saintsfc 200m+ fine and -4 points. This is obviously disproportionate. However while it’s a ridiculous decision & should have the penalty reversed by appeal . I don’t see this happening.

#saintsfc can wave goodbye to Shea Charles now. He'll be playing in the premier league next season.

@_callumfowler For once Callum, I'm pretty sure I'll never say this again, you're absolutely right. 👍🏻

Feel sorry for the Southampton fans but fuck me I can’t believe the EFL have actually made the right decision for the first time ever

@Danfudge Had the EFL not given them this punishment it would say to everyone else, it's ok to do this. Now teams are far less likely to send someone to drive 5hrs up the country to stand behind a tree whilst trying to get whatever bit of information they can from a training session

Southampton kicked out of the Playoff final. This seems unreasonably harsh Four point deduction as well For bloke with a phone watching some lads run around some cones I agree there needs to ramifications, seems disproportionately over the top #EFL

Leeds got a fine when they did it to us, but Saints get completely thrown out and a points deduction😂😂EFL pick the punishments out of a hat I swear

@HoltChris No I don't think it is. I think it's fair. The EFL had to be seen to send out a message that this won't be tolerated. For once they've actually done the right thing. I feel for the fans and they should be compensated by the club.

Bit harsh?

@woodwardio79 @SouthamptonFC @EFL They've been given a punishment that not only is suitable but it also sends a message out to any other teams that want to try and cheat. Well done the EFL, for once.

What an absolute farce. Feel terribly for the @SouthamptonFC fans. Chucked out of a 300m final for a guy behind a tree on his iPhone. When the same thing happened to us we used it as fuel. Boro had 180 mins to beat them. The @EFL is a joke. 🐏 #dcfc #sfc

@DeadlineDayLive @brfootball Everyone associated with the coaching staff should be fired.

🤔 𝗗𝗘𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗘: Should Southampton sack Tonda Eckert after the club were THROWN OUT of the Championship play-off final? (📸 @BRFootball)

@reluctantnicko Cheating is still cheating regardless of whether you win or not. If you try and gain an advantage by underhanded tactics you deserve what is coming to you. Just like spending beyond your means.

@TheStatsSaint The club should reimburse everyone who has spent money that is nonrefundable on the final. It's the least they can do. What a mess.

My mother just asked, do we get season tickets next year? She's not wrong.

@FBAwayDays The club should offer refunds out to fans who can't get their money back for anything associated with the final. If they didn't expel them then it would have open the floodgates for everyone to start doing it. EFL have dished out a proper punishment which will stop others

Regardless of whether Southampton have done wrong or not, how can they expel them so close to the game? Fans will have spent money booking trains, tickets and hotels. You really do have to feel for them. 🤯🫣

@secondtierpod @JacobsBen Haven't they admitted to also spying on 3 other teams?

Southampton ARE APPEALING the decision per @JacobsBen. They feel the decision is unjust and intend to resolve on May 20th (tomorrow). Fucking hell.

@SouthamptonFC Shouldn't that say "Working towards Lincoln for next season with a points deduction"

Working towards Hull 💪

@FcSoton @BobbiHuyton

@BobbiHuyton We don’t cheat. Slag 👍

Bought this for £1 on Vinted a few weeks ago. From 2008. Really hope it gets some use 🤞🏻 #hcafc

@SaintsExtra @sfcawaynumbers

🚨🎟️ Southampton’s 37,604 ticket allocation for Saturday’s Championship play-off final at Wembley is now SOLD OUT #saintsfc @sfcawaynumbers

Southampton have been 𝑬𝑿𝑷𝑬𝑳𝑳𝑬𝑫 from the Championship play-offs ❌ Middlesbrough will play in the final against Hull.

An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubs’ training. In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table. The effect of today’s order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed. 📘 efl.com/news/2026/may/…

A statement from MFC: Middlesbrough Football Club welcomes the outcome of today’s Disciplinary Commission hearing. We believe this sends out a clear message for the future of our game regarding sporting integrity and conduct. As a club, we are now focused on our game against Hull City at Wembley on Saturday. Ticket information for our supporters will be available shortly.

@_CharlieThePooh @swfc Why didn't you just say you'd have a Tattoo instead 😂😂😂😂

@swfc if you somehow pull this shit off I will name my first child Mark The Pitsmoor Owl and get an Ozzie Owl tattooed over my own face

If ever we need you, it's tonight 🔵⚪️ #SHWPET

@1980sSportsBlog I'd genuinely like to see what Pep could do without as much financial backing as he's had. Let's see if his style of play works with players he's had to bring in on a free or players on an emergency loan.

Ha ha. Just seen Pep described as a genius on the BBC website. A genius is a manager and his assistant taking a club in the second division, gaining promotion, winning the championship, plus two League Cups and two European Cups in the space of five years.
