BARCELONASAINT

I hate what has come out and as a true sports fan i am utterly appalled that my team have potentially broken the rules regarding spying. I got talking to my son last night who is the head coach for an American team and brought this matter up for his view on it. To say i was quite shocked was an understatement but now i've had time to think on what he said i think i'm just appalled football has come to this. These are the comments he made to me and bear in mind he has connections all around the UK, South America and America. Decisions that cost 100s of millions are going to leverage every source of information possible The mistake was getting caught There are now scouting services made up of former secret service staff from various countries who offer to spy on players who can geolocate players This was taught on a webinar I was on last week By a sporting director of a top division European club basically he implied every club out there is breaking the rules one way or another to get an edge!

Got to say i'm ashamed of my club, i didn't believe we would ever sink to such unsportmanship type behaviour. If we get docked points then the club have only themselves to blame.

Scienza 100% for me

I tend to agree it's going to be a tough couple of games. When borough show up they are a very decent side. I have watched quite a few of their games where they have outplayed the opposition but failed to capitilise by scoring. They are a very decent outfit and we would be stupid to under estimate them, thankfully Tonda is unlikely to make that mistake and will drill it into the players.

I can't believe anyone is criticising Scienza after the season he has given us. He is the flair player everyone loves to see play the game, he is a natural and an absolute joy to watch on the ball. He takes players on and has an end product! Yes he has the odd flaw to his game but if he didn't he wouldn't be playing for Saints! He is one of a few in our team that i would happily spend good money to watch them play.

I just hope with the early kick off our lads have woke up!

I don't mind admitting i was one of those that thought what on earth were we doing signing Larin at the time. However i absolutely love the bloke and his 100% commitment to the cause. I think we have to give Tonda a lot of credit for the way he has handled not only Larin and turned him into the player he now is with Saints, but also so many other players that we were all hoping would never wear our shirt again because of their pathetic performances. Tonda is not only proving he is a great tactician but also a great man manager who listens and takes advice from his backroom staff. Larin is a prime example of a bit of a journeyman who wasn't being played to his strengths or having a manager who was prepared to believe in him. Incredible transformation really.

Matsuki is a big loss imho, hope it's nothing serious

reserve keeper

Just got back thanks to having got on a coach with a blind driver who can't read his satnav and ended up turning into the most narrowest dead end road near Winchesters park and ride. When he did eventually manage to reverse out he then made a wrong turn in Southampton taking us away from our drop of spot that was so close yet so far! Anyway what a day, what a game, what a side and what bloody fantastic supporters we have. So so proud of our team and fans tonight. Defeat is always bitter but if you have to lose then Saints showed how it should be done with pure bloody guts. Tonda take a bow because you have given us our team back.

I agree there has been some very questionable decisions that have gone your way but i guess it evens itself out over a season. Personally i think you will pip Millwall to second place. If you beat WBA today i think our lads will take their foot off the gas Tuesday night and coast into the playoffs hopefully avoiding any injuries.

Really looking forward to the Wembley experience today whatever the result. Lets make loads of noise and show all those plastics what it means to support a real football team. COYR

cheers mate, i was waiting for an email or something, just found mine in the Saints app, QR code to be activated tomorrow
