Southampton spying compendium thread

[safclav]

The prem could learn a thing or two about having a set of balls to deal with cheats like the EFL

 

[Floodolski]

Admitted to spying on Oxford and Ipswich during the season as well.

Would love it if they got a picture of the same kid with his phone.

 

[Pacific]

wow amazed they've actually had the balls to do that

 

[Darlo1973]

Hope they increase the points deduction for appealing.

 

[Mackem2017]

I think the point is that they did set up completely differently.

Didn’t realise that didn’t watch the games

 

[BrumBlue]

I suppose they have to set an example otherwise you would probably have people flying drones over training grounds and all sorts

Stinks of hull winning the final now. Boro will feel lucky to get there and then not turn up.

 

[Swinny14]

that intern has probably cost them £200+ million he’s not going to get another job in footie.

Saints manager gotta be sacked now too surely

He will only have been doing what he's been told to do.

 

[Hulkenburger]

It absolutely does. They’ve cheated 3 times this season by spying , and admitted it.

They've probably tried it for every game, given that one of the ones they admitted to was against Oxford.

 

[PhilY]

Go and chase an ambulance you shameless leach on society. Just kidding - here fishy fishy.

You can see @PhilY and his scummy lot of scoundrels making a fortune on a case against the EFL for not allowing an appeal in line with the published procedure.

You’ve had a joke. That’s enough now please.

FWIW - upholding the rule of law is important.

 

[mackem1989]

and Ipswich and Oxford plus 1 other

They spied on Oxford twice and lost ?

 

[Skrabble]

Correct decision I reckon.

Hopefully berrah capitulate at Wembley.

 

[scanny]

So they’ve done it against Oxford in December and Ipswich in April, probably fair to assume they’ve done it against everyone they’ve played since the new manager was appointed

 

[Flavonoids]

Seemed pretty obvious like.

 

[Silly Point]

Tbf if they're bringing them back I'd rather they'd moved it. Give us time to prepare and I don't have to deal with their fans if it's midweek and I'm not going.

 

[joop]

I’m not having that like, a bloke taking a video of them training Unless they set up completely different to how they usually played or made several changes from their usual team it likely had zero effect. Stupid for doing it but the punishment doesn’t fit the crime for me.

I’m not convinced you know more than professional coaching and analyst teams in addition to the EFL who brought in laws aimed to prevent this from happening.

 

[Cucaracha]

Wow, that’s a kick in the balls for the Southampton fans. It’s probably a fair decision though, I can’t see any other clubs doing this sort of shenanigans in the future if the FA comes down hard on them like this. Well done the FA

 

[Bg86]

Forest definitely spied on us like not having that 0-5 as being legitimate personally

 

[knarfw]

This is gonna kick off big time.

Will be hull-on

 

[Jgrainger]

Won’t be the only club doing it. Mental a lad in a pair of jeans and an iPhone has potentially cost them £100million!

 

[Mackemansj1]

How come Derby or Leeds (can't remember who was spying on who) never had such a severe punishment?

Wasn’t a precedent then or in the rule book with a punishment, it’s in the rule book this could be a punishment if caught.
