Didn’t he give our fans some abuse a season or two ago ? I want, no, demand compensation. Was traumatised for two seasons now. Or at least would have been if sat nearby

Yes there is, but we’re not accused of trespass. The accusation is of spying on the opponent within 72 hours before the match. Whether this is from a roadside or up a tree doesn’t change that. You’re right that had we been on their ground the allegations would be more serious, but that doesn’t detract from what we’re currently accused of. Of course we don’t know the facts about recording it etc, I suspect the view of his/our actions might be seen differently if just stood there watching (rather than recording, or transmitting it. IF he did).

The fact he was on public land etc is irrelevant, it’s the act that is the potential offence. How Middlesbrough secure their site or obscure vision isn’t relevant either.

Wonder what our allocation will be. Probably won’t be that big after Hull and Middlesbrough have taken theirs.

They’ve even got a thread on their forum dedicated to Tonda. https://fmttmboro.com/index.php?threads/tonda-eckert.81095/ Bless them.

Bet they’re secretly shitting it. Apparently temperature is about 14degs down there but who’s to say some devious bastard at ‘Q’ Branch, Staplewood will find a way of covering the runway with ice. And Boro, just check how close Southampton is to Salisbury, and think about your hotel, Novichok on every door handle ….

It seems that the potential costs of being rumbled and damage to the club far exceeds any benefit we’d gain. Foolish in the extreme

If and when Gibson or Hellburgs mobiles explode next to them, this is probably a link worth investigating.

That’s quite a conspiracy theory to top them all. In other words, the bloke in the bushes was a plant.

Pleased for Rochdale after their York City game.

Bollocks to the EPL, EFL, and ‘spy gate’ nonsense. The real drama over last couple of weeks has been in the National League. Rochdale with a 97th minute equaliser!

Will be tough. Difficult to call, so I’m putting £10 on a Saints win, and the same for Middlesbrough. Sort of game to ‘hedge’ my bets.

Cunts. Isn’t that an infringement of his civil liberties? Guardian will be all over this.

Except VAR operates within the rules of the game and seeks to enforce them. That’s the theory anyway.

Surprised the Gruaniad have time to waste on this, thought they’d be too busy wanking over Polanski
