Southampton spying compendium thread

[Dodger41]

Can't imagine how our ticket office would manage with 3 days to sell 40+ thousand tickets.

....you'd give it a good go though

For me it’s not just that Boro benefitted, it’s that they’ve arguably been given a bigger advantage than Southampton gained from spying in the process.

There’s no way the efl are just cancelling their biggest game of the season like. I’d argue this is the only fair outcome. Boro are the ones that have been cheated in this part of the season. The playoffs are separate to the league season. This is probably the only outcome that makes sense. Hull still have to beat a team to go up, Southampton get the full force of cheating which now seems like over a period of time and the efl get their showcase game still.

Simply get the Southampton fans to give hotel bookings to Boro fans, simple

I'm not sure too many Southampton fans would've been staying over in London, anyway, with Southampton being less than a 2 hour journey, from the capital.

Will the rest of the prem be desparate to relegate boro if they make it, I remember when we got promoted instead of Swindon and players making certain remarks about hoping we went straight back down, which of course we did.

Anyone any idea if sky sports news are giving this much airtime?

A lot! Arsenal have one hand on the Pl trophy and it’s the 3rd biggest story in football behind pep leaving and spygate! Quite funny

 

[JAZZMANB]

Not leaving much time to get tickets, if they appeal ,it's in limbo

 

[Lo Ursem]

No doubt that tree will rival the Sycamore Gap as a tourist attraction.

 

[Jgrainger]

Won’t be overturned. What a logistical disaster that would be for everyone involved.

 

[ClassicDom]

Surely the game should be delayed? Hull have been preparing for an entirely different opposition

It’s not as if Boro have been preparing at all to be fair. Most of their players won’t have kicked a ball since their defeat.

 

[CollingwoodFTM]

Just going by the Saints Forum, seem extremely bullish/arrogant on there. So there are fans that aren't so convinced then?

All the ones I’ve spoken to were not confident. The lack of a stern debutant the fact more clubs came forward gave them doubts.

As many of them still keep mentioning the 8-0, I have little sympathy.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Stretching back to December, they have definitely been at it all season and these are the only ones they will willingly admit to.

Arguably they could be deducted all the points they gained next season.

Probably since Eckart was appointed.

 

[GMac]

Embarrassing all round. Getting beat and still getting through. Very messy.
-4 points is very lenient too imo

SSsshhh........Don't mention Swindon Town 1 Sunderland 0

Can't imagine how our ticket office would manage with 3 days to sell 40+ thousand tickets.

Roughly similar to how they generally do I expect. Chronic

 

[Red]

Harsh i reckon like

For once maybe, but 3 times? And they're just the times they've admitted to.

Despicable behaviour.

It’s not as if Boro have been preparing at all to be fair. Most of their players won’t have kicked a ball since their defeat.

Given the controversy and potential outcome that seems very short sighted of them if true

 

[mackem1989]

Mad if so. Got to feel for the bloke.

Most the young lads in footie are. But they will do out to keep a job.

 

[Kenna]

Probably since Eckart was appointed.

That dramatic turn around in form looks very suspicious now.

 

[Banks]

For me it’s not just that Boro benefitted, it’s that they’ve arguably been given a bigger advantage than Southampton gained from spying in the process.

Yep

Hull now have 3 days to prepare for Boro and Boro have had double the time

 

[Hot Since 82]

Unpaid intern isn’t he. Expenses only.

Aye, it's an established route in now too. Will Still was an unpaid intern analyst at his first club in Belgium. Within next to no time he was head coach.
