I'd imagine that if they're spying on Oxford they're spying on everyone.

Probably about 8pm to deflect attention away from our Final.

Apparently Middlesbrough also got hold of an image that was being shared at Southampton internally of a soldier in full camouflage but with the face being replaced with William Salt. Get it out there for the memes. Release the Southampton files.

MTG has demanded the release of the unredacted Epsom files.

There are 3 games that there is proof of them cheating. Two were league games that they took 1 point from. They finished 9 points ahead of Wxm so there's not much of a case for Wrexham.

I am not sure I am comfortable with the punishment being judged on the outcome rather than a crime. This is like judging a studs high tackle on whether the recipient breaks their leg or not.

What a shambles.

Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds staff was spotted watching a Derby training session from a public footpath. The Whites were fined £200,000 with regards to rules over acting in 'good faith' towards other EFL clubs. We don't know whether the Derby 'reveal' was one of several instances ...
Southampton, whilst obviously more consequential, ain't that much different is it?

There is now a specidic rule against it, which was introduced after Leeds, so it's very different.

The act itself isn't. But because the Leeds thing was a big deal and there wasn't an adequate law in place to stop teams from doing it, they brought in a new law.

Which Southampton then decided to break, deliberately, multiple times.

So the outcome should be, and is, different.

It was premeditated cheating before games have been played. I’ve heard Southampton fans try to justify saying it’s no worse than a playing taking a dive or that it clearly didn’t influence the outcome of the result as they didn’t win…but they fail to acknowledge that even though they didn’t score or win as a consequence of their cheating, they could have prevented the other team(s) from scoring.
