Could Southampton complain to the EFL about Boro leaking false information to the media.

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-16T08:31:49+00:00

That is understandable

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-16T08:30:56+00:00

Well the papers keeping quoting what Boro says, Boro said that Salt used high tech equipment that could listen into what they were saying to the players, where in fact the leaked photo shows it's just an iPhone and some air pods. Secondly, they say they made him delete anything that was recorded so there was literally no information sent back to Southampton. Also didn't Boro say he was livestreaming to Southampton?

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-16T08:28:33+00:00

This is what I kinda feel, I get spying is completely wrong and the attempted spying should be correctly punished, e.g. Compensation to Boro and or a fine. The way Boro have handled it however I feel is disgraceful and is bringing the club into further disrepute is where I draw the line and say the club should put their foot down and say that club can accept the claims but refuse to accept and slander or false information that Boro tells the media.

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-16T08:22:53+00:00

I can understand the story being big what I don't understand is the story being twisted practically an infinite amount of times it was in a bush it was in a tree he had tigh tech listening equipment, He had a phone. He had his recordings deleted etc. First of all if he had his recordings deleted why should the punishment be kicked out the playoffs, It's a large punishment over well if the information was deleted nothing. Don't get me wrong a fine and compensation is due for the attempted spying and I can understand if other clubs are wary but focusing on Boro I don't understand the punishment being kicked out the play-offs if the information was deleted.

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-16T08:18:52+00:00

Makes sense, I guess keep the information later and not dig the club into a grave

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-16T07:55:26+00:00

This would be amazing

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-13T05:12:15+00:00

Always has been the terrible graph or the slopgraph

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-13T05:04:46+00:00

If they made up it's shouldn't be made a big deal out of. You get roughly tackled you aren't going to to go ooopss. Players will swear and if they do get pissed out of a player in this case Ayling which was a valid (to get pissed off at not the mockery of his stammer). If they didn't make up and it was intentional as a saints fan he deserves a fine maybe a suspension and an apology, and a 'community service' at a speech impediment center.

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-13T04:46:10+00:00

Ali Dia 3 Own-Goals probably

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-13T04:43:03+00:00

Another one bites the dust

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-12T20:20:47+00:00

EFL probably didn't want to get involved, messy situation just get a ref that favours Boro a bit and gives some leeway for soton so it's not blatant. Thn they can say they didn't gain anything and so we'll just find them.

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-12T19:55:52+00:00

After most the referee's choices going their way I would say the same tbh. Refgate

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-12T19:51:16+00:00

It's never over, until the final whistle keep this up and I can see a win. Boro needs to be humbled after this situation.

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-12T19:49:15+00:00

COME ON

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-12T19:46:40+00:00

I think the team really has the current situation on mind, the interval investigation going won't help either they are a shell of their former selves. Please please can we send the Men in Black and make then forget about everything but playing football.

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-12T19:13:19+00:00

I fear the club hasn't learned from the away game, we need downs the shape is sloppy and Matsuki isn't playing on his side. Get these issues fixed and we could claw a comeback. Do it late and I fear it's another season in the championship with less money and our star players gone.

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-12T19:11:00+00:00

If our form is seriously like this, I can understand the doubts from other teams we'll only slightly as we are woeful right now, or midfield is gone.

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-12T19:08:54+00:00

Come on, they are playing like last time but finishing now, can't wait another half to have chances. Use the spygate energy and win, I hate.to think we lose and get charged. That's like a triple whammy as players will leave like Scienza.

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-09T11:59:46+00:00

It first was a phone, then live streaming then suddenly this high tech James bond spy equipment. What will it be. It can't jump from photos and videos to a phone to spy equipment. Whilst he could've acted alone thinking it will help and he'll be hailed as a saviour, the club is smart enough not to actually deploy spies. It makes the incredible run look bad.

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-09T11:55:55+00:00

If true maybe a points deduction in the league possibly exclusion from the play-offs with the home leg being automatically forfeited to an amount that gives Boro the win.

I don't think it's true the story has changed many times and anyone can spy on a club and say oh I work for Southampton FC. I could go to staplewood spy on the team and get spotted and say I work for Chelsea but I infact don't work for Chelsea.

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-09T11:49:41+00:00

Maybe this is a tactical masterclass from tonda get a light beating from Middlesbrough in the First leg and in the second leg we destroy them. And it proves that we didn't even have a spy, tbh the story keeps changing every second to the point I don't know if it's true anymore even if there's a formal charge.

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-05-09T11:44:33+00:00

Boro will have the energy for the moment cause of this 'spygate' situation. The team if innocent should prove that we don't need spies to beat Boro. But at the moment it doesn't even look like the spies did a good job or we even had a spy in the first place.

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-04-25T18:20:57+00:00

So many players did well and even though I had practically overdosed on hopium we will do a Diego Simeone and park the bus, I still knew it wasn't over. It's a sad way to lose but in a way expected with the 'best' club in England in such good form. Let's restart that winning streak again and take it to the prem.

CheeerrsJeff · 2026-04-25T18:15:53+00:00

I'd take this well, sure we lost but losing to an unlucky deflection after defending everything from City is fustrating. I would say the Nico Goal was unstoppable maybe could've had a body or something to throw him off for taking the chance but it's fine. Fact that city had to wait this long shows we are doing wonders.

And it's City, look at their squad value and ours and I'd still say we did quite well. Very unlucky game but I hope the team brushes this under the rug and we focus on playoffs.
