@boro-beckys-dad Yes, I find it increasingly difficult to see how a rearranged final could actually work and be fair to Hull supporters who have bo...
@k-p-in-spain Predictive text is a device setting - try the following link...
@k-p-in-spain I've got every sympathy for the supporters of both Hull and Southampton that the EFL have allowed tickets to be sold and naturally th...
What I feel laughable is that the independent committee is 'considering' sitting over the weekend - is this some kind of old boy joke that they take t...
Given Southampton were caught spying then it should be guilty until proved innocent - let them appeal being disqualified while the final between Hull ...
Interestingly, the Gazette are mentioning a possible final date at Wembley of Tuesday 26th May if Southampton are expelled - surely this is a recipe f...
Of course the problem of expulsions appeals and rescheduling is complicated by the fact the season ends in 2 weeks and players head off on internation...
According to reports by Sky, Middlesbrough will not be represented at the hearing and it will be only Southampton who will be facing charges and defen...
@boroexile I think the whole point of the EFL charge is that they beat us using unfair methods that were against the rules - so I'd agree with Mart...
It's a bit ridiculous to expect Hull fans to buy tickets but advise them against buying travel tickets and accommodation until after Tuesday which is ...
So it seems the hearing will reportedly be tomorrow with a decision made the same day.
@martin-bellamy It's fair to say if a decision is not made by tomorrow about who will contest the final then it won't be changed as the logistics o...
@k-p-in-spain It's hard to imagine that Southampton will be allowed to play in the final if found guilty of cheating - plus if there is evidence of...
Hull have postponed selling tickets for Wembley as planned today as they say they are currently not able to do so - perhaps a sign Southampton may wel...
@original-fat-bob Just to add to the point about being able to digitally track someone's movements and payments - as far as I'm aware this is not a...
@exmil Thanks for that swift judgement - I think the EFL could do with your services!
@clive-hurren Yes they can appeal but only to the EFL and not the Court of Arbritation - though the court of public opinion has already found them ...
@martin-bellamy It also seems he paid at the Rockliffe bar with his credit card on Thursday to prove he was at Boro's training ground - a schoolboy...
@clive-hurren It reiterates my earlier point of a window for decision being extremely tight time wise - it says tickets for the final are due to go...
My fear is that there will be lawyers involved now and they will pick over every EFL rule and may argue that their client is allowed 14 days to respon...
@boroexile It's interesting that any logical conclusion based on the facts sees Southampton expelled from the play-off final for illegally gaining ...
Interestingly most pundits are not expecting the EFL to punish Southampton before the play-off final on the basis that it wouldn't be possible to have...
So it was a cross that evaded a defence out on their feet that clinched the game for Southampton - Boro's problem was Hellberg didn't think his bench ...
This is tense - the game has gone into extra beer!
Well that was a pretty intense first half that ended up quite heated - not sure their free kick that ended up being an equaliser was really a foul - l...
I should add that if Southampton need more time to conduct a review then clearly they have been unable to establish that their employee was acting alo...
A classic case of trying to delay a time-sensitive matter in order to make any sanction too late for it to be able to be made effectively. Perhaps, ...
@boro-beckys-dad I watched the second half of the Millwall v Hull game and Hull were deserved winners as Millwall offered very little - The Tigers ...
@k-p-in-spain I'm sure we'd somehow manage to get over being awarded a place in the final by default 😉
