In theory. But in reality, neither Southampton or Boro are in training today and we're likely to know the outcome tomorrow, so it's really going to give anyone much of an advantage.
Exactly. Our players had a beer, had a day off and likely went in today for recovery and video review. Tomorrow would be ball work and conditioning. There isnt a game for another 9 days, nothing specific would be getting worked on until build up week which in all reality we will know who we are playing.
 
New chant for next Saturday if the scummy cheats get away with it.

‘Sued by the Boro, you’re getting sued by the Boro, sued by the Boro. You’re getting sued by the Boro.’
Hasnt that boro chairman threatened to Sue the football league before
Can’t remember what tho
Anyone ?

You do realise the staff and analysts have to prepare what the players work on? They currently don't know who to prepare for. Hellberg said for 2 weeks in the run up to the Southampton game he didn't see his family as he was watching every Southampton game in search of any tiny advantage he could gain fairly.

Hellberg was making it sound as bad as possible to make the case for the EFL to come down hard.
He didnt know 2 weeks before the Southampton game they were even playing them.
Im amazed the interviewer didnt pull him up on it.
 
Spying only illegal in 72 hours pre match…so that’s probably when specific tactics are worked on .prior to that it will be fitness etc.
Footballers generally dont have the capacity to take in information more than 48 hours before a game ha ha.
 
Southampton and Middlesbrough, could potentially be in the final depending on issues to be resolved. Both teams know who the opposition is and can plan accordingly. Only Hull City cannot plan properly because of the potential of two different opponents. That is a major unfair disadvantage considering the importance of what is at stake.
Couldn't we spy on both of them?
