That chant of "Are you watching Middlesbrough" from 35k saints on Saturday is going to be soo fucking beautiful.

Nope. Absolutely the worst thing we could have done in this situation. We have handled it fantastically.

Yeah they hate Azaz for leaving their nothing club as well. Odd bunch.

If true I hope he chins him

If the commision are meeting today, how long would we usually expect the hearing to take? Fairly heavy in terms out potential outcome here, so guessing it will be next week before anything comes out

Genuinely reckon its all just a big wind up from them at this stage. Fair play to them though, they have me rattled.

I mean it wouldn't matter, we've sill clearly breached the rule.. However, if they were to use that as an example of 'sporting advantage', then yes - that might play a factor for mitigation.

Another reason to fuck off VAR by the way. opens up these sort of debates.

Honestly, at this point I don't even care anymore. Just getting there is 2 fingers up to Boro and a win in my book. I've that much anger towards their bitterness I am willing to be that petty.

Wembely, the week after us.

So their case will be; "here is our evidence they spied upon us [inserts copious amounts of potentially illegally obtained evidence (CCTV / Bank details from a 3rd party company)] We beleive that this is premeditated and not their first rodeo [inserts a witness statement]" again without sounding like a broken drum, none of that proves we have done it before. Might so intent to, but doesn't show that we've done it

Right, hear me out here.... Boro will be there as nothing more than a witness. Therefore, they can only present facts they personally observed and cannot speculate... Therefore, does that make all of the 'evidence' they have gather useless (unless another clubs comes forward - which would result in anotehr EFL charge)?

This is not helping our case that it wasn't professional surveillance footage.... 😂

Wasn't there reports pretty early on that they suspected we were tipped off by someone who knew that they had reduced security... No don't get carried away with this story. It would be absolute gold if it transpired to be the case...

Thought of the day. Does a witness statment (and lets assume some form of paperwork leading back to Spors) from an ex employee stating that we have asked them to scout opponents training, matter all that much if there is no evidence that we've actually done it before (within the 72 hour window)?
