Someone on here said yesterday that the business wouldn't get the name from a card transaction like that. Which seems right really.
Hmm I'm not so sure it's as absolute as that but fair point, I will defer to people who specialise!

Anyhow, the way Gibson is conducting this is pretty murky at best.

In fairness.. it’s now at a point where because Hull won their semi final game, Boro haven’t got a chance in hell of claiming “they should’ve gone up” once the final is played (which it will be). So regardless of who wins the final, Boro can just suck up their salty tears cause once that game is played there’s no way they can be claiming they should’ve gone up, because if we win then Hull have more of a shout to get the bye to the Prem than Boro! It’s all too complicated time wise now… it’ll be a huge slap on the wrists (massive fine / in house firing of staff / 2 point deduction in Prem & maybe even a larger suspended points deduction for if we return to EFL to make it show like they won’t tolerated this). Between Tom & DTLW think has been covered from my view too, but thought I’d just agree and echo my views align completely. Think EFL will make more set in stone stronger sanctions now. 3rd club who gets caught won’t be so lucky imo
Why did you think they’ve made such a big thing of it over the past few days? Other than fearing correctly that they couldn’t beat us? Because they know this as well - once it moves onto the final their shot of being rewarded at our expense (once again - not how punishments for rule breaking usually work) goes out of the window

Yeah I mean I'm no expert by any means but there is definitely grounds for Saints to point to how Boro have handled this in the manner of screaming toddler.

But I'm sure I have read the golf club have confirmed it was Will Salt as they checked the records on the payment software and he used his own card. If true, sharing that information to another business/ leaking to the press for a non legal matter is 100% a data breach.
The business is unable to access the customers information if the transaction was chip and pin or contactless. The only way they would know if it was a CNP (when customer is not present and volunteers the info) transaction.
 
Boro players training today apparently. Anyone fancy nipping up there, rigging up a loud speaker and playing Freed From Desire over and over again from that hill?

Haha as it happens.. I’m driving up to Scotland this eve for a stag/hen party tomos where we’ll have a few speakers.. wonder if they’re training Monday :bandit:

Fair enough and thanks for sharing, I've only ever worked with systems that have customer accounts so it was always pretty easy to link together.

So the story of the golf club verifying it was him are just bullshit then.

I'd still rather not go up but am much more comfortable with the idea now knowing how much they're going to cry over it.

Win win situation now really.
Yeah this is dream stuff for you

Lincoln away = very happy Libby

Boro crying = very happy Libby

I'm that ****ing sick of Middlesbrough, I ended up in a 15 minute rant about their ****ing team bus and that stupid "We shall be" slogan before the boy told me I was probably too deep into the hatred and I was boring him.

Did he give you the same look he gave you at Hull?

Who do we think actually did ID him then? I remember when this story first broke that someone had seen him on LinkedIn so why did it take a few more days to hit the press? Someone had leaked it from somewhere surely?

I read somewhere, that Boro looked at Southampton FC online and seen him listed there.
