As this seems to be a common phrase on here - this boils my piss. We have not been charged with breaking a regulation about gaining an advantage - we have been charged with breaking a regulation about observing another clubs 1st team training within the 72 hour period. We may or may not have gained an advantage but that is very much open to interpretation the observation within 72 hours is not it’s very yes or no.

No surprise there

Bit of a slow news day today obviously boros propaganda dept is off for the weekend.

Which is available in the golden posts section

Well we’ll find out no later than Tuesday.

So you are now believing Boro?

That’s on the assumption it was routine. Where’s the proof of that?

So you think someone at the club said go up to boros training ground and film their first team within 72 hours from the game taking place?

Not if it’s true.

Yep don’t like him either but Adrian Heath tops it for me.

I dislike Adrian Heath.

Hmmm - how would some of that get out? Especially the stuff about the alleged spy. I’d like it to be true mind.

We are not charged with gaining an advantage we are charged with observing our opponents first team within 72 hours of the game. Advantage/no advantage is irrelevant. It’s like being done for supplying drugs - most people use the “but I didn’t charge anything for them just passed them on to my mate” defence. What they have just done is admitted to the charge - there is no mention of payment or in fact material gain. Just supplying. by saying no advantage had been gained in effect provides admission to the charge of Observing.

They are not a party to the hearing - just us and the EFL. If anything came via them then someone at the hearing had told them which I’m sure is not allowed

Personally think it’s got the potential to be a cracking game of football. Think we should gave enough assuming all are fit and we handle mcbernie well. They are dangerous on the break and they will get an opportunity through the game. We will want to dominate the ball and play in their half in the main or try to drag them out to get in behind - we are more than capable of both.
