Gallowgate Toon Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I like how they admitted to a couple of occasions where they lost They've blatantly been doing this every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 He looks so much better than the rest of the league but do think it's weird that he's 28 in Sept and not done much in his career But he's dead fun to watch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/may/19/southampton-kicked-out-of-championship-playoff-final-docked-four-points-for-spying Southampton could face a legal claim from their players for loss of earnings after the club were expelled from the Championship playoff final for spying on training sessions staged by Middlesbrough and two other second-tier teams this season. The squad have been discussing their options after Boro, semi-final losers to Southampton, were reinstated to Saturday’s Wembley showpiece against Hull. It is understood there is widespread fury in Southampton’s dressing room, presenting the club with another headache after a fraught period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilcline Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I know footballers aren't exactly known for being the sharpest tools in the shed but did none of them wonder how their manager just happened to know the other teams' set piece routines without showing a video of them doing it in a previous game?

TBG Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) Shocking like, feels like the only suitable punishment would be to dock both North London clubs 15 points each. Edited May 20 by TBG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 The only sensible option is to let both Hull and Boro come up, replacing West Ham and Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how that will work since they still had to beat Hull regardless, and were only that close to start with because of the cheating Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I wonder how much more widely this sort of cheating goes on. I couldn't quite believe some people downplaying it on here. Especially when you consider the PL champions have just won the league based on their utterly tedious rehearsed set plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Given that Swindon were expelled from the Johnstone's Paint Trophy or whatever the hell it's called now for fielding ineligible players earlier this season due to admin errors, it seems perfectly reasonable that Saints are expelled from the play offs, that's just what happens if you cheat in a cup competition which is effectively what the play offs are.

Erikse Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) A ridiculous way to frame it, but I guess it's desperation. In the same way that you're not getting to play the 200m match, you may have deliberately cheated another team out of a 200m match pre punishment. Imagine if you could just cheat your way into a 200m match and just take a 200k fine if you get caught. Yeah, like that wouldn't be problematic at all, cheating would just be the right thing to do at that point. Oh, and they talk as if the final had already been won when comparing the financial punishment to other things.. Edited May 20 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you happen to have been caught just as you were about to play a massive money match, is effectively irrelevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
