Southampton spying compendium thread

[Kenna]

Oxford mentioned as 1 of the 3 teams and were relegated - they will be looking to challenge the drop I expect or some coin off the Spies

They still lost to Oxford so their case is pretty dead before it begins.

 

[Smiler]

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.

They've have been preparing, had a couple of days off after the Southampton defeat then they've been training awaiting the decision

 

[Grimes]

According to the MENSA group on here it was nowt, totally blown out of proportion and that nowt would happen

They won

Admitting to cheating against a team well relegated and one promoted which wouldn't be arsed anyway.

What a horrible little club Southampton are

 

[Tadger]

Clearly want to make an example.

I must admit I'm suprised but I assume there's be more going on and for a lot longer than it was originally thought.

 

[Korra]

According to SSN the FA can get involved now too and start charging individuals. So coaching staff, Eckert, etc for “bringing the game into disrepute”

Don’t see it happening but who knows

They've always been like that too, going back years. Been dipping into their forum for the past 11 days, utter wankers.

Said earlier in the thread, I live in Southampton, have never warmed to the club as the fans are odious.

 

[Harry Angstrom]

My AI has said 80% chance they get booted. Stuck £20 on Boro going up on Betfair at 9/1 for a laugh

Just layed Boro and collected £105

AI was talking bollocks I reckon

You can’t quantify the advantage Southampton gained is my only issue. As someone with no skin in the game whatsoever, if we’d been in this position last season, I’d rather have been in boro’s shoes than hull. Someone watching your training session through an iPhone from a bush is less impactful than preparing to play an entirely different opponent while the new opponent has been exclusively training for you.

I don’t think it matter really does it, they’ve admitted doing it. That’s why I’m thinking they’ve been getting something out of it to have done it to multiple teams they’ve been getting something out of it. The huge up tick in form would back that up too. It’s in the rule book now and the punishment is written. I just don’t understand why they’d continue to do it if they were getiingf little out of it. Seems like it was more than just his iPhone too.

 

[Qwerty]

I backed Southampton

Two sides to every coin

 

[Hot Since 82]

Or increase it

Like I've said a few times in the thread, I hope the FL asked Saints for full disclosure, and if given we will be lenient with the points deduction in next season's competition. If more evidence comes to light and they've not disclosed them they could be in major bother.

Now that sets a precedent

Well tree if splitting hairs.

In their defence, the punishment wasnt defined for the crime. They probably wouldn’t have done it if the EFL set the punishment when they changed the rule. It’s fuck around and find out though for sure. Interesting they’ve admitted to doing it in games they failed to win (they failed to beat Boro too afterwards) so suspect their defence is going to be look what little impact it has.

It’s such a grim way to cheat.

Everyone aware of this should be drummed out of the club.

 

[The Beautiful Game]

Sure I read they had them back in training just in case

Oxford won so unlikely they would do anything.

Pompey somehow looking the less scummy of the 2 clubs, didnt see that one coming.

 

[Swindon On Tour]

We deserved to be promoted after your lot were disciplined. However, after being rightly beaten at Wembley and having that disappointment, being promoted via the discipline procedure, was good, but didn't compensate for the Wembley trip.

Put yourself in the position of a Swindon Supporter though.
Take away the emotion of the game.
We won, we celebrated, we lost in a room without a ball.

I have never questioned whether we were guilty. It’s like speeding, the limit is the limit. The club broke the rules. I didn’t and watched every game.

I can say this with conviction to every supporter of every club.
You will never go through that hurt that I did. Sickening.

Imagine what a bellend he must be in 'real life'

What a twat he must feel now man

I suspect the FA will be throwing Encyclopaedia Brittanica at the individuals concerned
