Harsh to get kicked out,but that now sets a marker, no cheating if it slightly cheating.

I also watched both games and, yes, Boro' didn't deserve to go through.

Yes, Jack is an interesting bloke MPH and we have been mates for 45 years. He knows everyone in the music business. I once had a few beers with him and another bloke in a Fulham boozer, who I hadn’t realised was Mitch Mitchell until later and met loads of others while with him, Keith Emerson, Richie Blackmore, Ian Anderson, Roy Wood, Chris Farlow and of course all the Quo lads and John Bindon was always fun to be around. Jack even painted the white room where Lennon made the imagine video and he was hated by Chuck Berry for some reason. He appeared on the Old Grey Whistle Test and played to full stadiums in the US of A when he was vocalist for Savoy Brown. Amazing that people still remember him as the bloke who sung the hedgehog Song at the Reading Festival

Boro lost to a cheating team so their loss shouldn’t be held against them.

Also, if Spurs do get relegated, they actually will be playing in Europe next season, as they will have to play Wrexham, Cardiff, and Swansea… 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😬

Just can’t bear Farah Williams voice, she shouldn’t be a commentator as she can barely speak English

OI - I don’t doubt that, but cheats are cheats, and if there are not stiff consequences, we might as well just allow spying. It makes a refreshing change to see harsh penalties imposed - as someone said earlier, fining them £200k when promotion could be worth £200m wouldn’t be a fit punishment - it’s a pity that Man City have managed to avoid all penalties despite all of the apparent rule breaches…

a4e - I watched both games, Boro deserved to win as much as Spurs deserve to be in Europe next season. Southampton were clearly better but other teams than Hull are available to support.

Postie - they’ll hitchhike or hire cars or anything they can… £400 sounds cheap compared to the cost of moving around North America during the World Cup…

OI - it’s hardly Boro’s fault that Southampton cheated or got thrown out, and for all we know, Southampton’s spying might be what gave them the intel they needed to win that playoff…. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just checked out BA flight from Newcastle to Heathrow one way this sat just under £ 400 must be mad for borro and there’s engernering works on the trains as well might as well stay at home

I'm definitely Hull till full time on Saturday.

The moral of this story is - if it looks like cheating and it sounds like it's cheating, then it's cheating.

Pretty sure Boro fans will be resourceful and find a way - for Southampton this was FAFO in slow motion, and a lesson to all clubs for the future….

So now about 36,000 Boro fans need to get tickets, make travel arrangements and possibly accommodation ... in 48 hours. Crazy

Kite - so having told them that they have been booted out of the final, just untell them and say sorry for scaring them…. And sorry to Boro for telling them they were in the final (I’m thinking of Boro fans who went off on a holiday but then booked a flight back when they heard they were in the final after all - who’s going to compensate those fans…?). What a total fuck up… 🤦🏻‍♂️

Soton lose appeal

EFL can’t apply a points deduction in the Premier League.

I think it's just impractical to ban Soton . I would give them a points deduction c/forward to next season

Trigg - decision on Saturday late morning, Boro and Soton fans have been told to go to Wembley and wait outside for further news…. 👀

Superb again - game over

When are we expecting a decision/outcome from Southampton’s appeal?

Not sure that the Freetown manager can raise his team after those spectacular goals

Seeing it again, Rogers pass was even better than Tielemans finish

In this modern world of such things, MacPhee has to be up there with best set-piece coaches around.
