Yeah. The regulations define a "league match" as a match which takes place during the league competition. Whereas this specific regulation, 127, simply refers to "any match" - ie the regulation doesn't restrict itself only to a "league match".

The bit in bold would be the funniest thing ever.
Good friend of mine is a big sports lawyer. He said that Boro have a weak case, so are trying to win in the court of public opinion, which is a classic football thing to do.
.......and the bookies are taking bets on the game.
I think that by this time next week, we will either be in the Premier League or not.
It's a tricky one as the Canadian men's team did the same thing a week or two before the women's and they just got a fine and the accreditation for the drone operator revoked. The women's team had been caught doing the same thing previously. Also, in the Olympics case, it involved the French police so there were aggravating factors which was why they had such a punishment.

Did he have any real comment on how much the public opinion thing potentially matters? I’d like to think “not at all”
The way Boro have conducted themselves most notably :
- the call by Gibson to Jordan and then him obviously changing position
- making it known they had hired “mr loophole”
- leaking the picture
And the biggest :
- the statement on Friday
Does seem to back up this “weak case and trying to get the press to decide it” view. But I’m speaking from bias
I’m hoping they get a charge or some kind of stern warning (that will hopefully be enough to discourage a further lawsuit against us) regardless of the outcome
I’d say it would be deserved regardless of the outcome. They’ve made it a circus
I think Boro are just now trying to throw as much mud as they can to hope it sticks. Though notable that nothing since the Friday statement. I think behind the scenes they got a warning about that
So Teams messages about (camera) Zoom? Subtle humour for the IT techies thereI am changing roles today within my company - nightmare trying to onboard with my new team and keep the other screen open for news. Luckily my new boss is a Saints fan so he is sending me Teams messages with "Any News?" every 10 mins
I would have thought their legal team should have told them to shut up before they leaked stories and pictures to the press and before they made their statement on Friday.

Nothing like a stern warning than a bit of fist shaking.
Give it to ‘em.
You've got two choices.
1.You go back to your cottage, enjoy your holiday and be blissfully unaware of everything until you get home.
2. Buy yourself a new pair of underpants every morning until they announce WTF is going on.
Or socks, they do good socks. And lingerie. Apparently
Ready meals if they've got a foodhall, shouldn't be cooking on holiday.
Latest from the Northern Echo:
In ordinary circumstances, it could take an independent commission up to a fortnight to publish their judgement along with the written explanations for their findings.
Given that the Championship play-off final is due to take place on Saturday, though, the hope is that the verdict in this case will be issued within 24 hours of the hearing taking place. Written conclusions will then be published later in the summer.
The judgement will initially be delivered to the two legal teams involved in the case, before being more widely released.
Both the EFL, who are effectively mounting a case on Middlesbrough’s behalf, and Southampton, as the defending party, have a right of appeal against the judgement. An appeal would almost certainly mean that Saturday's final would have to be rescheduled.
