Southampton spying compendium thread

Keef Downie has made it sound like an episode of The Day of the Jackal, but it must be the most exposed training ground in the country FFS.

Anyone who is going into the golf club can walk straight across from the clubhouse to the "gate" and see the training.

I was under the impression he had been up to some sort of vast operation to gain access, but any one of us could have done the same with ease.
 

Wouldn't sit right with me personally if we were gifted a run at the final like in similar circumstances. Had the first leg ended up in Southampton winning comfortably then aye fair enough but they didn't have a shot on goal until the 65th minute
:-?
 
The silence is deafening
Think they hoped Boro would win
If they have evidence of this being a “ trait” for other games and not a one off as is being suggested-there is much more likely to be a bigger sanction?
Based on no personal knowledge and silence -expulsion seems to becoming more of a possibility the longer it drags and more info emerges?
Boro might yet be at Wembley-they are the aggrieved here

I'd heard he used Face Off style technology to get in.
He was staying at Rockcliffe wasn't he? Whose name was that under?
Silliam Walt?

Wonder how many Boro fans booked hotels on the off chance and have since cancelled them . Suppose they can snaffle the ones Southampton bought on the off chance and hopefully have to cancel .

You'd think it was James Bond the way Sky Sports are going on!

In reality it turns out it's a kid with an iPhone hiding behind a tree about 100 yards away from the pitch.

There's nothing at all to stop anyone on this forum having the same access any day of the week.

Must be loads of fans who pop down there to try and get pictures with the players given how close you can get simply by going to the golf club, and end up taking pictures and videos of them training.

What's your point? it's not the level of difficulty he faced in the espionage that will decide their fate ... if I go and film them it's not the same, at all :confused:
 
Reading that Southampton have deleted all ticket information for the final. Apparently because they've been told to release it the same time as hull. But that feels like a load of bollocks.

Can’t wait for the 3-part Netflix special. Woltemade will be playing the part of the tree, the lanky git

So it's only wrong if it's difficult? He was a Southampton coach taking videos of training which is against the rules.

Something is going on there. Firstly they say they would be going on sale tomorrow. Then they said they’d be going on sale friday. Now it’s all been deleted.

Pretty sure against Sheff United they released their ticketing information before us
 
So
Man walks into an open area and records
100 yards away on his i phone
Buys a coffee

That the reality of it.

No top tech unless his mate were hiding in the trees

EFL regulation §127 prohibits observing, or attempting to observe another clubs training session 72 hours prior to kickoff.

The lad was photographed behind the tree with his phone recording, and is pictured in Southampton media. Seems open and shut to me. I reckon Southampton are going to go with the lone gunman theory, and distance themselves as far away as possible

Poor William Salt would have been told by his boss to do it and he'll be losing his job for it.
