@danamalt If there's a way to back the EFL into an uncomfortable corner to take us seriously then this is it with public opinion on our side... It's why we've seen Southampton fans show that they're devoid of any morals as they feel the corkscrew turning given their club's wall of silence

@danamalt Boro's comms strategy has been top notch. From Kim not giving the "bad loser" narrative in Sky post-2nd leg, Kim's emotional media, Dom's question, Keith Downie at Hurworth on Wed morning, incremental leaking of info, implicit threat to EFL with Nick De Marco & civil lit threat

@aaronjamesf1 Nick De Marco literally has a hour+ video online discussing, inter alia, exactly this point about the evidential difference between IDC's and courts. So I don't understand why you're portraying yourself as an authority on this matter. Furthermore, Boro have already submitted this

@p_mards Additional information would form later charges. So, for example if Sheffield Utd brought forward evidence that theyd been spied on, it would become two charges of the rules - and Saints would be given time to respond to that as per procedure.

A brief explainer on what could happen in the up coming hearing. ✅ The onus is on #saintsfc to explain what happened and prove the mitigation. ❌ It won't involve additional information - if it's happened elsewhere that'll mean more charges and probably a delay to hearing.

@Boro The wording is obviously an implicit threat of civil litigation against the EFL (as well as Southampton)

A statement from the club.

@henrywinter The wording is obviously an implicit threat of civil litigation against the EFL (as well as Southampton)

Spygate escalates. #Boro come out fighting ... demanding #SaintsFC thrown out of play-off final because "the observation and recording of our training session ahead of a (semi-final) fixture of such significance goes to the heart of sporting integrity and fair competition".

@Hausoflaura4 I have it. It can't be true as it's not the EFL/IDC process - I got excited when I first heard it though! It won't let me send it on here as it's stuck in WhatsApp. I can send it on there if you have it?

@DanyalHKhan For Carrick's presser today you should ask him what his thought's are on his old club Boro's Spygate situation

Michael Carrick, Jason Wilcox, Omar Berrada, Jonny Evans, Jonathan Woodgate and David Gill all here also… #mufc

@AlexComber_ Knowing your opponents formation, injured players, set-pieces & penalty takers is a massive sporting advantage going into a play-off semi final. You said what Southampton did was "dreadful" on 10th May, but now it's nonsense? The club has let Southampton fans down with cheating

Long term impacts of this nonsense could be huge. Sending an analyst to Boro was never enough of a sporting advantage to do it. Dragan Solak will be furious. #SaintsFC

@DanSFC94 You literally reposted a Southampton fan questioning whether Boro even had any evidence, Dan 🤦🏻‍♂️

@p_mards No single Southampton fan has said ANY of that, other than the last point about equipment. You are having fights with the voices in your head, Paul.

‘Professional recording equipment’ they said. This whole thing is becoming a joke. #SaintsFC

Southampton (@SouthamptonFC) fans criticising Boro... What's your honest interpretation of this photographic evidence of your analyst, William Salt, recording Boro's training two days before our first leg play-off semi-final? I'm trying to understand how you think it's acceptable

@trotterstlushie Question, what's your interpretation of this photographic evidence of your analyst spying on Boro? Given you said "If you want a sign of how society, fuelled by social media is losing its grip on reality and actually going mad just look at this whole spygate thing"

@trotterstlushie Southampton fans timeline has been: Boro completely made it up > Ok he was there but didn't watch Boro training > He was there but didn't record training > After leaked picture... ok he recorded training but his phone wasn't professional recording equipment. Are you the sheep?

If you want a sign of how society, fuelled by social media is losing its grip on reality and actually going mad just look at this whole spygate thing. Massively overblown, crazy comments and the real facts have yet to be confirmed. It really is quite ridiculous #saintsfc

@DanSFC94 If Boro sent an analyst to watch your training I'd be fuming at the club as it's clearly cheating & incompatible with how I view Boro as having a strong moral compass. With the £200m+ prize pot it blinds club's & fan's judgement... like it seemingly has with Southampton FC & you

@DanSFC94 I fully appreciate tribalism but at what point to you actually start asking questions of your own club instead of throwing accusations at Boro & playing the victim in a Trumpian manner? If roles were reversed & we had an analyst watching your training would you react the same?

@GraemeBandeira @ConnorJ2399 It shows complacency given he's seemingly done it all season

@ConnorJ2399 Or he's thick as mince. He'd be shit on that Channel 4s Hunted!

Mate he bought a coffee from the golf club😂😂😂😂 he’s taking the piss man

The moment Southampton spy is caught in the act: Exclusive bombshell photo reveals key member of manager's staff at Middlesbrough training - as new detail of a possible paper trail emerges trib.al/zhHWmpj

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Here is the BOMBSHELL picture of Southampton analyst hiding behind tree & using phone to spy on Middlesbrough! 🔍 Our Spygate investigation reveals strong links of intern to Tonda Eckert & bank card payment trail! 👇 FULL STORY 👇 mol.im/a/15814229

386 of the 1,438 goals scored in the Championship this season have come from set-pieces. 91 of them dead-balls (64 pens, 27 direct free-kicks). 26.84% of all goals. highest for six years in the Championship. As in the Premier League, Championship teams spending longer practising set-pieces in the supposed seclusion of their training grounds. Knowing in advance an opponent's set-piece intentions is an obvious advantage. Knowing in advance how they have practised penalties – and who – is an advantage in play-off combats with potential for shootouts. That is why Spygate is so serious.
