@henrywinter Idiot- media and the bed wetting massive reason for the severity of the punishment. “Everyone should plant more trees”your words why the change of heart ?

Southampton kicked out of Championship play-off final for spying. Correct decision, especially as it transpires they spied on three clubs in total. This is about more than a bloke standing behind a tree with an iPhone. It’s about how seriously the game should take cheating. EFL independent disciplinary commission have struck a blow for fair play, for integrity, for the need for respect between clubs, for coaches to have an expectation of privacy in training. 25% of goals scored in the Championship this season were from set-pieces. Clubs practised them. Understandably, coaches don’t want their plans revealed. EFL sending a strong message with this punishment.
Spygate 2 different from Spygate 1. Rules tightened and punishments introduced since Leeds United’s offence. Appeals, of course. It’s tough for Southampton fans to be denied the trip to Wembley and the chance of a return to the Premier League. It’s particularly tough that many have forked out for tickets, travel and accommodation. Their frustration and anger should be directed at their club. Southampton should recompense fans. It’s not the fans’ fault.
The stupidity in all this is that Southampton would probably have beaten Boro anyway. Better team, stronger bench. But this is so damning… “Southampton admitted breaches of Regulations requiring Clubs to act with the utmost good faith and prohibiting the observation of another Club’s training session within 72 hours of a scheduled match,” says EFL. “The admitted breaches concern fixtures against Oxford United in December 2025, Ipswich Town in April 2026 and Middlesbrough in May 2026.” So the punishment is proportionate. It should act as a deterrent. Honesty matters.

@CBSSportsGolazo @T_Deeney * One victim suffered a broken jaw.
* Another needed 20 stitches to injuries around his mouth.
* Judge David Tomlinson described parts of the assault as a “gratuitous beating” against “defenceless” students.

@BBCNewsnight So the new Green Party defends territory’s acts in the name of Palestine but supports the arrest of people posting tweets? Seems about right

If someone says they're just worried about their daughter's safety-but only when it comes to asylum seekers-that's not genuine concern. That's a double standard. Steeped In racist undertones.
Side point - you shouldn't invite someone on @lbc to cut them off just because you know they were winning the argument.

@ImTanujSingh Unfair treatment at The Oval! Lee Fortis yelled at India’s support staff and Gambhir over pitch access, yet chatted freely with McCullum on it.
