Southampton spying compendium thread

[molthemackem]

i'm not denying that they broke the rules just that it didn't really give them an advantage. mind boggling that they did it

they didn't just break the rules at Boro and admit to it, there's at least four other clubs that are known of where they done the same.

 

[alunb]

Glad to see this behaviour punished.

 

[Startrite]

Boro were the team cheated on, so it seems fair to me that Southampton kicked out and Boro take their place. Saying that, come on Hull.

 

[Whey]

they admitted to spying on oxford of all teams and still lost. boro lost because they weren't good enough

This is an absolute disgrace

Different as it’s the premier league but I agree it’s been dragged on way too long. Guess that’s what happens when you state owned.

 

[ferryhill mackem]

So you should get away with cheating if your opponent is shit?

nah just pointing out boro didn't get beat because they were spied on
southampton picked up one point from the two league games and got kicked out the play offs. fucked themselves over for nothing

 

[Fact Hunt]

Glad we are not on that list.

And us too

 

[Shambo]

I just remebered that fat lad around 20 years ago that danced behind the goal at Southampton and he got on match of the day. I am now wondering what he makes of all this.

They'll have spied on every team I reckon just owned up to those to say the spying didn't make a difference.

It will have been a horse trade today.

They will have told Southampton they were getting the book thrown at them and Southampton know they dont have a leg to stand on, but they do have a right to an appeal with set timescales to allow them to prepare their case.

That would screw any chance of this weekend going ahead so EFL will have said you are out of the final - non negotiable. If you kick up a stink we will push for a punitive points deduction. Agree to play ball and submit your appeal tomorrow we will knock off a 4 point deduction.

If not Southampton would be able to bring a case against EFL for not being allowed the published time to appeal.

Decision made.
They might get a point removed, maybe two. Or do they risk adding a few more penalty points?
Remember we were demoted two divisions, reduced to one on appeal.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

At least they made a quick decision, only 3 years and counting for the Man City 115

Tbf mate, they are very different cases.

Don’t get me wrong, the City stuff has taken far too long but I dare say their very expensively assembled legal team will be fighting every charge.

 

[snibs]

It's a right mess, saints fans have booked hotels and trains. Talk sport have said kickoff may need to move earlier on police advice. That could mess up a lot of Hull fans booked travel.

Ko not been confirmed before so can’t “change”

 

[Baz]

You've clearly not read the rest of the conversation I'm having mate. That's exactly my point - the EFL have made a decision that teams were cheated as a result of this, which opens a can of worms if it comes out that anyone else was spied on over the course of this season.

Fair enough mate, apologies, I've clearly not read enough of the thread I can see your point, but guess Boro were the ones to catch them with the prize of the biggest game in football at stake. Utter stupidity from Southampton like.

Nothing left for him to do but dance as jamiroquai once said

 

[Thatheaderman]

This spying malarkey not really been worth it , the daft gets.

 

[FatDrummer]

Well your expectations are completely devoid of experience of legal process I'd wager. But as it turns out they've turned it around in quicker time than expected.

“As it turns out”??
So…it turns out that I was correct in my estimation that it could have been released quicker than was rumoured.
AND they came to a conclusion that punishes Southampton and goes a good way to not affecting the Hull fans financially.

And by the way.
I’m a good lad and have never needed any kind of legal process.

 

[Dog in a pram]

Decision made.
They might get a point removed, maybe two. Or do they risk adding a few more penalty points?
Remember we were demoted two divisions, reduced to one on appeal.

Broad strokes of the scenario i set out will 100% happen tomorrow. If not EFL are practically inviting a legal challenge for not following their own appeal rules.

Might be 1, 2, 3 or 4 points knocked off but that's what will happen tomorrow.

 

[faith brothers]

Do Hull and boro have much history? Doesn’t jump out as particularly high risk unless they are worried about the ECML?

Yorkshire derby mate!

 

[ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK]

I've been refreshing it for around an hour

It's still on page 140 and the news hits midway on page 139 but page 140 looks like when the site went down. It pops up now and then but not many new posts. Look at the duplicates as you can see the moment the server went into meltdown
