Southampton v Boro - 2nd leg

[TIGERSCAVE]

Apparently the Premier League has no such rule in place.

Easiest way, kick Southampton out, tell Boro you lost the game and as such Hull City are promoted...

No mention has been made of the effect this has on our club. Players mindset, planning etc.

Shape, lineup, set piece prep, penalty prep

Allegedly Hellberg had specifically come up with a new shape to try to surprise Southampton.

Second or first leg?

Second or first leg?

First leg -- that was when the spying was.

It just gets worse and worse for them

Didn't do them any good,

Didn't do them any good,

Well we don't actually know that, do we? That's the point, and why the rule is there.

Did you see Southampton play in the first leg? All that inside information and they were rubbish. Pity for all their possession Boro couldn't hit the target.

The easiest thing for the EFL to do that prevents Southampton going to the final is retroactively declaring the first leg as a 3-0 forfeit in favour of Boro so that the tie is 4-2 to Boro on aggregate. That prevents the legal nightmare of simply booting Southampton from the play-off final.

In short, the EFL declare Southampton lost the semi-final on aggregate.

Agreed, Southampton have no right to complain at that

That would explain the lack of announcing the kick off time. The legal nightmare being Southampton would appeal and the play off final Hull City vs Southampton or Middlesborough will take place some time before Christmas.

No use fining them would make no difference at all they are playing for a 200 million jackpot.

....OR.... if its truncated and there are scores of appeals.... both City and Southampton are promoted and the Prem has an extra team.

Apparently, a whistleblower from Southampton has agreed to be a witness for Boro…

Boro could claim a large chunk of that as comp

So we’ve beaten the lions
All we need to do now is
“ BEAT THE CHEETAHS “
Come on you TIGERS !!!!!

 

[Red top reader]

I don’t like the fact we’ve beaten them twice, my mind works the other way that unlikely to win a 3rd

But 3 is the universal lucky number, the treble sounds very nice to me…
