Southampton v Boro - 2nd leg

[SW3 Chelsea Tiger]

The only way that Southampton can be disqualified from the playoffs element is if they gained an advantage.
No one can prove they did.
So the only punishment can only be a fine and if they stay in the EFL a points deduction.

It doesn’t matter if the spy was an employee or not, Southampton have admitted the charge.

If evidence is found that they used spying on other clubs outside of the rules, then there might be a case for disqualification for reaching the playoffs using illegal means. But not in the Boro case. Any possible advantage was negated by the discovery before the final day of training.

I am not defending Southampton, just stating what is obvious to me.

Not true mate. They broke a rule. That’s the offence they will be charged with, advantage is irrelevant

I don’t know who id rather beat out of these two.

The EFL will be simply hoping Southampton lose tonight in terms of SpyGate/actioning it.

middlesbrough's draw with wrexham was a very big help the other week. and their fans singing "mauled by the tigers" at wrexham fans was funny.

After all the gobbing off from Ayaling the ref did go to his pocket, I thought he was going to give him a red card.

Bloke jumped 40ft in the air to get to that ball!

 

[TIGERSCAVE]

This referee has had his lungs on Southampton....

He's bought every dive, the goalkeeper just tried to get Conway sent off

Southampton being reported for discriminatory language against Luke Ayling

Wonder what was said? (Alegedly)

 

[Dylan Groak]

Probably called him a Leeds scumbag and the ponytail f***it couldn’t cope with it

 

[Amin Arrears]

Have to say, amidst all this spygate stuff, I do feel a bit for the players. I'm sure they didn't ask that somebody was sent out to spy for them and I'm sure they could happily do without all the crap they find themselves in.
Having said that M'boro just scored, 0-1 !

And the fans. Management should definitely get sanctioned though.

Wouldn’t be worried about playing either of these 2.
