Topic: Southampton destroyed

Southampton have been removed from the the Championship play off final and Middlesbrough reinstated all because one of their employees filming Middlesbrough training.

It`s illegal to spy in the rules so they have nobody to blame but themselves but it`s highly unlikely that any player or fan new about it so you have to feel for them.

They`ve potentially cost themselves millions in what is regarded as the richest game in football because promotion to the EPL brings around 200 million to the club in tv revenue. They`ve also been deducted 4 points for next season.

Southampton have admitted to spying on other clubs during the season. Totally idiotic.

What can you really learn from spying? A couple of set piece routines that are difficult to pull off in an actual match. Was it worth it? Obviously not.

I feel for the players and fans but the higher ups that sent the spy should be banned from football. If the names come out they`ll be lucky not to be targeted from a crazed psychotic fan.

Crazy stuff.

Pars fan.
Magpies fan.

Not a fan of much else.

I don`t see why Middlesbrough should be reinstated, other than the EFL get to cash in.

They lost to a team that was cheating.

Brilliant decision, multiple charges of cheating proven. SFA/SPL could take a leaf out of the EFL, book regarding sporting integrity. UTB.

That`ll be quite an expenses claim being submitted from that Southampton employee.

Return train ticket, hotel stay and a £200million subby.

By that logic Southampton`s results over the season should be annulled and they should be relegated.

All the teams they beat in the FA cup should be reinstated too... As they also lost to a team that was cheating.

To be honest I`d be ok with that. It`s what should have happened with Rangers....
