@henrywinter Every corner players pull shirts, push and shove. No action. Everytime the ball goes off the pitch players claim the other team touched it last knowing they didn’t. No action. Players throw themselves to the ground feigning injury. No action. Football tolerates cheating

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.

@nazirafzal Absolute nonsense. This is not a sporting rule. Do not confuse obeying arbitrary rules with integrity. The rule should be scrapped

The government forecast private school numbers would drop 6% after VAT was added to fees. Now, the data from Scotland shows secondary schools registrations have fallen 15% - numbers from the rest of the UK will be similar. Far from raising money, the policy looks like it will cost the taxpayer millions. Meantime in Europe, parents get a tax break for using private schools - as they’re saving the state the cost of funding. Another poorly thought through policy.

@teessidestephen @henrywinter Nonsense. It is a ridiculous rule and should be scrapped. If teams want to train in secret then train behind closed doors.

@henrywinter Nonsense. Is watching highlights of previous matches cheating? I am outraged that there is a rule against it.

The outrage about Spygate is understandable. If proven, it’s cheating. It’s seeking to gain a sporting advantage over an opponent. Let’s hope this ire is also now focused on other varieties of cheating in football, namely the amount of deceit that can stain games... 1/2

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.

Crowds booing the young lad Wu Yize in the snooker final is not the way the game should be, and certainly not the game I fondly remember from back in the day. Congratulations, young man 🇨🇳 👏

@David__Osland I’m no economist but I think you might find the cost of the beer would also go up if you did that.

If a pint of beer now costs a tenner, is £15 an hour minimum wage really such a Big Ask?
