In the ice-cool approach that Tonda is now famed for, does any intelligent person think that he would sanction or be party to such a stupid idea? The Club needs to put this to bed with a very clear statement of ‘nothing to see here!’
Someone has been reading too many comics!!
I do wonder if Boro will get a large amount of the 50/50 decisions now. Even subconsciously I think refs will be wary of giving any controversial decisions in our favour.
Separate point but as I said this morning I do think the EFL will be desperately hoping they come through the tie.

Referee will pay no attention to off the field stuff. Will just go out there and ref it as normal.
It all seems a little odd and fairly ****ing stupid if true. Can the league actually do anything apart from fine SFC?
'Subconsciously'. Not suggesting they'd deliberately let it affect decision making but all humans are prone to it.
Doesn’t seem like there is a set punishment for it so in theory they can do what they want.
They could do anything in theory. What happens in practice is a different thing.
So the story started with the guy deleting stuff off his phone, to a full 007 setup and escape plan. Something just dont feel right about this.
Initially I believed the Boro side of things, but now I wonder if someone at their club have made the whole thing up.

Good article on bbc now which makes it sound like a load of nonsense to me. Training ground is overlooked by a golf course so anyone can watch them
So it's either a junior intern that's been here less than a year, who stood on a hill on a golf course overlooking the pitches and had his phone out...or we have an elite counter intelligence team within our coaching staff. Right.
Boro have done a good job of getting this story lots of publicity snd therefore more difficult for the EFL to brush away.
I think the average neutral will be very much hoping for a Boro win here.
Interesting that Tonda’s press conference was midweek so no questions to answer on it yet, hope he’s ready for the barrage of questions about it prematch tomorrow though !

I can't see that they've made the entire thing up personally. Least likely option for me.
I think we're already ahead of them in that respect.
Was thinking a draw would be a good result, but now we know their tactics and full line up, I think we should go for it.
