The only punishment that I can see as hurting us in the Championship is if all the other clubs are banned from employing analysts and we are forced to employ twice as many.

Who knew that you had to be a ninja, previously employed by an unnamed secret service, to become a Championship assistant football analyst? Tough gig.
 
I see Martin Samuel has stuck his oar in with a column in The Times. He's always had a weird hatred of us. (He thinks we should have a 3-0 forfeit of the first game FWIW).
 
It really does beggar belief that Boro fans haven't worked out if there was any threat of us being kicked out of the play offs Saturday's game would have been postponed and an emergency hearing would have been arranged for today.

There's a reason it's only the guardian doing the holier than thou reporting the Boro fans are clinging to..
 
Anyone know how easily accessible Hull's training ground is?
Wasn't there a post from somewhere about how Hull's training ground is surrounded by houses so it's inaccessible and that must be why they're one of the few teams to beat us under Tonda?

Careful now Libs, oneBoro have stated quite clearly that all phones and electronic devices will be forensically downloaded by the EFL. It's only right and fair that this applies to anyone who's ever stepped foot in a SO postcode because this is the worst, most shocking, malevolent thing to happen in the history of the game. Ever.

Your post has already been collated and exhibited in Middlesbrough FCs "it's not fair file" as further evidence of cheating.

As a result, your ridiculous away attendance record for this season has now been expunged and you owe Middlesbrough FC £1.2 million and a packet of Opal Fruits for every resident listed on the last census. Please send all your ticket stubs to Steve Gibson recorded delivery.

You bastard
 
There was. We're ****ed. :emoticon-0101-sadsm
Boro fans have resorted to checking out other teams training grounds. <laugh>

Just had a quick look through their results and they had the odd slip up against Hull, Pompey and charlton. So I checked out their training grounds on Google maps

Hulls training ground is tiny and has houses backed up to the back side of it, the front and right side are fully taken up by a main road and the training ground main building. The only spy access there seems to be some random field on the left side but there is little cover and seems far from the main pitch.

Pompeys is also small and again surrounded by a main road, houses and the training ground car park, almost no access I could see.

Charltons is in a much more open area though it’s surrounded by open fields rather than anything over grown. Much of it is also private land of other sports facilities. Looking at the pictures people have posted the whole pitch is also surrounded by a giant 8-10ft hedge. I’d say almost impossible to spy and stay hidden.

Pointless analysis but I did it anyway haha

If I refuse I hope El Gibbo doesn't send hitmen after my family.
 
The idea that if we win tomorrow they're going to keep training 'just in case' is genuinely the most mental thing I've ever read.
Honestly, same. I laughed when I read it. I hope we win and Gibson insists on his boys staying in training for 10 days, only to be told on the Friday before ‘yep, it’s definitely Southampton playing at Wembley tomorrow and not us, you can all go home now lads’

They've completely lost the plot over this. And I don't just mean in angry way, they've completely lost all sense of reality.

It's been ****ing brilliant to observe.
 
On the face of it, Boro's decision to keep trainung seens presumptious but we are only talking about training one day if they lose. If we get thrown out on Wednesday , they will be proved right.
