🚨 BREAKING: Middlesbrough call for Southampton to be banned from competing in the Championship play-off final:
CLUB STATEMENT:
🗣️ “The conduct at issue, namely the observation and recording of our training session ahead of a fixture of such significance, goes to the heart of sporting integrity and fair competition.
🗣️ “In these circumstances, the only appropriate response is a sporting sanction which would prevent Southampton FC from participating in the EFL Championship play-off final.
🗣️ “We remain hopeful that the EFL, as regulator, will pursue such a sanction before the Disciplinary Commission in order to protect the integrity of the game, safeguard all member clubs, and deter any attempt in the future to obtain an unfair and unlawful advantage in pursuit of promotion to the Premier League.”
I’m not a the biggest VAR fan, but if your take isn’t ”oh wow VAR just corrected a refereeing mistake that could have decided the league title” then who are you.
Great result. So close to being a fantastic one.
And very close to being a bad one so we’ll take it.
Possibly the worst 45 mins under Eckert.
Peretz and dumb luck saving us. Unreal that it’s still 0-0.
Wake. Up.
Could someone at the Palace game please go down to Glasner and scream loud in his ear that the difference between 11th and 16th in the prem is roughly £15M in revenue.
