Championship Thread 25/26 Season

[Toffe3m4n]

Excellent. Southampton coming back up again would've been incredibly boring anyway.

 

[Littlesue]

Can they appeal though?

 

[ToffeeTim]

I genuinely still don't understand what the big deal is?

its a game of football. There's 100s of hours of matches you can watch and research if you want.

Great a teams working on some secret set piece and they've seen it.

Boro had what, 200 odd minutes to beat them fair and square during the matches and couldn't?

It's not like the NFL where you can film a teams plays and have a massive advantage.

Football just doesn't work like that.

If Southampton didn't think they could get an advantage from it on the field, then they wouldn't have bothered doing it.

It's not so much tactics or style. It's more about seeing who is training and likely to be available. Especially if there are players with rumoured injuries or due to return from injury. That's probably where they saw the potential advantage.

They have. It's a completely new panel to hear it too

 

[Harryflashman]

What do you genuinely think they can get from watching a singular training session?

Even if its set pieces, the fella taking the set piece still has to put it in the right spot.

And then you what supposedly have the whole team in on it knowing their doing a certain set piece?

Some weirdo has thought up the idea in a meeting.

The other games they've admitted to filming they didn't even win them.

They drew with a team that was promoted automatically.

They’ve admitted 3 offences for which evidence was presented , do we think it was only these 3 random games ? Feels like if they’ve done it for 3 then they’ve done it for more .

As regards advantage if they gained no advantage and felt they gained no advantage and did it repeatedly knowing that the punishment if caught would be a sporting sanction then they’ve done probably deserve an even heavier punishment for being thick .

Could we send Dibling back as a consolation prize

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

I bet they appeal, get the 4 points reinstated but no play off final.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Weren’t Southampton one of the clubs suing Everton?

 

[Harryflashman]

L

I bet they appeal, get the 4 points reinstated but no play off final.

I think exactly the same

 

[The binman chronicles]

This is so Everton That I'll need a day just to make sure it isn't all a dream and it's actually us that have been found out.

 

[Alan Whittle]

I bet they appeal, get the 4 points reinstated but no play off final.

I reckon thats why they tagged it on in the first place.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Really makes you think…

 

[johnjoeefc]

Its massively disproportionate if you compare it with what happened to chelsea. I still think its harsh anyway. Apparently their (middlesbrough's) training ground is open and can be seen by any member of the public. If your a serious professional football club then tighten security. Ridiculous

Thinking they could do this (admit it) and the extent of the consequences would be the league would do something is the definition of thick.

Anyone negatively affected by their results vs these has a case now for compensation. Oxford went down don't forget.
