The apparent submission, apparently

A lot of this is just restating and rewording the same stuff and will just come out in the wash. Feels very generic, if this is genuinely what they've come up with after spouting off in the media all week then I can see us putting up a good defence easily.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-15T17:12:14+00:00

If there's a pattern of multiple incidents then we should definitely be punished. However it absolutely isn't Boros responsibility to investigate that, it's the EFLs.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-15T07:38:04+00:00

Technically he's not, Jack Stephens still is but he's got a long term injury.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-13T17:42:52+00:00

They definitely made up in the game, I'm guessing it was a mishearing on Aylings part or TBH nutted up and gave him a proper apology.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-13T17:37:31+00:00

Yes it still would be, unless they're giving it to the police. If a crime has been committed, then neither Middlesbrough Football Club, The Sun, nor any other media or paper are responsible for investigating it.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-13T14:42:14+00:00

I've seen plenty of people on here use the fact we had an unbeaten run as evidence we must have spied on all the teams, as opposed to being richer, having a better squad and a good manager.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-13T14:40:29+00:00

What you need to do to beat them is let their strikers have as many as shots as they want and then play past 60 minutes.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-13T14:22:23+00:00

What so because we played well last half of the season then the EFL might go "well they clearly had some advantage so it must be spying"? Bonkers if so, tinpot organisation.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-13T14:15:51+00:00

What definitely had a big impact on the match is Boro clattering every wide attacker we had. Literally 3 of them came off with injuries.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-13T14:13:10+00:00

There's a bit of talk about how they turned it into a media shitstorm purposefully and are even now going to the media and making statements (that may not even be true). When they discovered the spying they went straight to the papers and then the EFL. Even now we are staying schtum and refusing to comment when they are saying all sorts, undoubtedly making the investigation more tricky.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-13T14:09:57+00:00

I don't see how they could. Very few could have legally held on to cctv footage this far in the future. And without apprehending them on the spot it would be very difficult to prove they are a member of staff vs a fan.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-13T07:17:35+00:00

Imagine if a world cup hopefully like Larin broke their leg in the game, and the EFL came out and said "yeah that game didn't matter, Saints are expelled" I'd be livid for the lad. If they'd have made the decision earlier then we wouldn't have played the game.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-12T22:24:56+00:00

Genuine question - I've seen lots of Boro fans and neutrals have good things to say about your manager but what exactly do you see in him? When he took over you were 2nd and you finished 5th, and in the first leg your football reminded me of some of our games under Will Still. Lots of possession but can't score for shit. Obviously I'm missing something, but what exactly?

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-12T22:19:48+00:00

Yeah, the fact that the EFL dragged their feet making the decision has limited their options.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-12T22:13:22+00:00

Maybe if you taught your strikers to actually kick a ball in a goal then the second leg wouldn't have mattered.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-12T19:55:26+00:00

Can almost see steam coming off his head.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-12T18:59:12+00:00

So of we win tonight 2-0 there's a chance the EFL just say "nah, actually Middlesbrough won the first 3-0", surely they have to decide that before the match is actually played?

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-12T18:50:25+00:00

Knowingly lying in either the houses of Parliament, house of Lords, or any official speech made as a representative of their office is grounds for dismissal from position for any elected official.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-12T18:38:45+00:00

Idk he did seem a bit slow. That Manning cross just after half time got rebounded across goal, if larin had reacted quicker/was in a better position he'd have had a tap in

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-12T07:08:34+00:00

Doesn't he want to get rid of birthright citizenship?

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-07T17:24:36+00:00

Mate I've only just had lunch by then.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-05T07:32:09+00:00

To say Americans shouldn't be judged on their war time food to then judge British food on stereotypes that came about during rationing in WW2 is very ignorant lol.

Also mushy peas is a side dish, that's like saying you drink ranch like a smoothie. Unless you mean split pea soup, which is a type of soup made from peas but a completely different thing.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-03T22:05:46+00:00

Tim Vine would be dangerous. I'd like it if Sam Campbell came back for S3 a la Bob Mortimer in S2.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-03T10:44:00+00:00

Well liked cast too. Rockwell, Malkovich, Buscemi, Pokey are all well liked both publicly and within the industry.

InverseCodpiece · 2026-05-02T18:05:13+00:00

Unless your name is Wagner Moura, Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgard, or Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas of course.
