Tonda went from ecstatic to terrified as he was about to be bear hugged by Stephens.

Thats the software realising he's showing too much emotion and he's about to crash.
Because it just feeds into the witch hunt and narrative against us. Lots of tweets about it too including from big 'neutral' football social media accounts, choosing to ignore what actually happened and frame it purely as more cheating from Southampton not giving them the ball for a throw in.
To be fair to Tonda, I now believe he is human after all, as I have seen real emotion and even blinking.
Good to see there some sensible and level headed Boro fans out there.

Was thinking this!very good man for jinxing things. Deliberately said nothing or tried to think anything about the boro players for that reason!!
AI bots are just getting more realistic.
Just popped on the Hull board. Fair to say that they aren't our biggest fans either!!

"Didn’t really have a strong opinion on Southampton before the play-offs but I really loathe them now. Cheating bastards, a weird **** of a head coach, arsehole players and even their ball boys are ****s. We have to beat them."

It probably would have been better to play Millwall as then the neutral would hate both teams.
May I also add, even if you take away how much we were invested in this game, what a cracking game of football it was. It had everything. Goals, drama, handbags, controversy and a late winner. Cracking game.
Proper play off second leg match.
Dont go on other forums,I'm surrounded by west Brom,villa,arsenal,liverpool, man u fans and almost all of them
Either dont know or dont care about this sideshow!
Var would have nobbled us last night.

Unfortunately the furore that the north east reporters and Boro fans have created with the collective foaming climax of rage over the past week has fed into the national media and social media football accounts, it is just a full on witch hunt now whereby the slightest thing that would not normally catch attention can set the whole rabid bunch of them off again. The narrative has been written and it will be the entire country against us winning the final now. Not including Hull fans in that as they'd obviously be against us regardless. Albeit a siege mentality could be to our benefit.
Hellberg is starting to take this too far.

If Saints had such sn advantage then why did Boro have 20 shots in the first half of the first leg and the majority of possession but fail to score?
Why was it 1-1 for 116mins in the 2nd leg?
Why did Boro barely have a shot on goal after 38mins?
Why did Boro visibly tire and make 90mins look hard in both games?
Why did they spend 200 days in the top 2 and only finish 5th?
Why has no one pointed this out?
Put it together and the answer is Boro were never good enough to go up. Most of all of these points show Hellberg's failings as a coach.
The worst part is that Hellberg is heavily insinuating that the Saints coaching staff weren't doing any honest work. He can't know that.
From both games there is a lot of evidence to say Saints didn't get an advantage and the more Boro talk about it, the less evidence I think they have.

I was the opposite. I thought Leo was pushed over an Larin was 50/50
Whilst I think we should get some punishment, I also think its time to embrace our villain era.
Bring back JWP for ****house coaching.
Saints against the World.
It's an independent disciplinary commission that delivers the decision I don't know if they recommend the punishment or the EFL.
I was surprised, well not surprised in light of the stuff going on, that it wasn’t given at the time.
Larin got to the ball first, but I still couldn’t work out if he was touched. I think he was fouled.
