It is a sideshow. If you let it spoil your enjoyment of the occasion you have fallen into the trap. They want everyone to believe that it is a big deal. It really isn’t.

Apologies if this has been mentioned already, but the arrival of Ben Garner in January looks to have been another excellent appointment (along with Larin, Peretz and bringing back Bree).

I agree that expulsion will not happen. At the risk of upsetting a certain poster, it is not the crime of the century and has been blown up out of all proportion (which is not to mitigate it if it turns out to be true). As for deducting points next season, if we don’t go up, maybe. Would it apply to the EPL though? Aren’t the EPL and the EFL two distinct administrations?

Well, that was stressful. Like Saturday, Boro tired as the game went on. Think we deserved it overall although we rode our luck big time first half Saturday. Nice to make Wembley our second home! Phew!

That was a bit spicy!

1. The club are innocent until proven guilty. 2. The EFL rules state that the club have 14 days to respond to the charges. 3. The club have agreed to comply with the process. There is a match tonight. Win it and Boro are through to the final. Why don’t you just focus on that instead of whipping up a frenzy, which might be over nothing, or are you so worried that you won’t win (after blowing second place) that you are putting your energy in trying to get a bye? Not very sportsman like is it? By the way, all of our games this year are available to “spy” on, as are yours. I’d be very surprised if either side came up with anything new in match day. Actually, that is not quite true. I was very surprised how bad we were in the first half on Saturday and how you didn’t manage to score any goals when you were so dominant.

Absolutely this. I am more agitated by players constantly grappling each other at corners, diving, trying to get others sent off etc. than “spygate.” No, it shouldn’t happen, but there are far worse examples of cheating going on during actual games by players. I’m sure most of us can remember “Fergie time” which was basically intimidation of refs to keep playing until United scored. Where was the outrage about that? It just became a bit of a joke but it probably had more of an affect on their results than sending a kid off to look at a training session.

Exactly this. It is all pointless hot air until the club makes an official statement on their position and the facts are properly determined. The time to wet the bed is if and when we are found guilty of any wrong doing. In the meantime we have a match to win.

He looks like Robbie Savage.

Clearly the plan is to let them pummel us so the league go easy on us for Spygate, then go for it at home. We just haven’t turned up today so something is amiss.

I got a lot of flak ant the time about suggesting that Netanyahu’s regime deliberately allowed the 7th October attack to go ahead to use it as an excuse to unleash hell on Gaza. Given what has happened since it seems even more likely.

Thought it was a save in real time. Clearly not!

Excellent second half of the season so hats off to everyone at the club for turning things around! Roll on next Saturday!

Phew, great save to save a point at the end. Not for the faint hearted at the death. We seemed out on our feet. Not sure why we didn’t bring a fresh legs. Fair play to Ipswich, they really went for it.

If someone had offered me going into the last matches of the season with a chance of promotion and a semi final with one of the best teams in Europe I would have taken their hand off. More so after the miserable start we had. Huge shout out to everyone at the club for turning things around and making this season one of the most enjoyable for many years.
