Seems a little too convenient to me.
You’d imagine if they did it three times they probably did it every time they could do, and yet the only other ones ‘proven’ are the ones that there was no real advantage from so those clubs won’t pursue anything (Ipswich up anyway and you lost to Oxford)
As usual it’s the fans ****ed over, and I do have a lot of sympathy for you.
I know it’s nothing compared to what you’ll be going through, but just to ensure fans keep getting shat on them saying in their statement they might change the kick off time means no Boro fans can arrange travel tonight and many of us Hull City fans that have booked travel won’t know whether they’ll get there in time or catch the train back either.
Fiasco.
Yeah fair enough, I’m just not sure they will survive this.
Hopefully people will vote with their feet.
On season tickets, game attendance merchandise etc
The appeal is about the severity of the punishment, not that we are guilty. If they take away/reduce the points deduction then that makes the severity of the punishment less even if we don’t get reinstated
Not likely to until the outcome of the appeal
Didn’t realise you’d won the playoff final!
Gibson did a great PR job though for Boro, but **** me we made it easy for him.

It's two legged but it's a single tie, if we cheated for the first leg then we cheated for the entire tie essentially.
Not to mention the fact we admitted to doing it during regular season too.
Really????

"Southampton believe that with tomorrow’s appeal, there is still ‘a very strong chance’ that they will be in Saturday’s play-off final as mascots for Hull"
Well, what a bizarre, embarrassing and shamefull outcome. Does the punishment fit the crime? Maybe. Multiple counts admitted means even more that couldn’t be proven. Saying that we have been fined 200m is not correct, we’ve been kicked out of the playoffs and will miss one game, that’s the only guarantee. 4 points is the actual punishment.
What a ridiculous farce from the club.

We should never have admitted any of it. Dragged it out until after the final
Amateur hour

Wow what an overreaction by the EFL, I’m amazed, they’ve obviously hit you with a punishment so strong that it will mean nobody ever does it again that’s for sure.
I just don’t get what can be gained watching and filming from distance on a phone over watching previous games and analysing 90 minutes of a game.
I’m a bit surprised so many Southampton fans are turning on the coach, he broke the rules, many others will have, he just got caught but I don’t get why it’s illegal.
What’s to say someone can’t watch from distance and report what they witnessed, it must happen all the time.
They should have counted the 2nd leg as 0-0 and replayed the first leg. If you lost hit you with -5 points next season, if you went up, huge fine
It might galvanise you next season when the dust has settled.

Indeed. The ultimate irony is we didn't actually win any of the games where we've admitted spying.
Also, they can brief the media but cant release an apologetic statement to the fans?
****ing amateur hour at the circus run by clowns.
