I’ve thought about this a fair bit, and I agree! :thumbup:

The ‘right’ decision to throw the Saints out but (IMHO) it would have been more pointed/courageous had the EFL decided to put through as the only team left in the competition; although I’m sure Boro or some other self-promoting team (may be with Gog in their name) may have seen it differently

Ultimately, the EFL couldn’t turn down the money the final created though and thankfully the right team were promoted and it all starts again in August! :ayatollah:

I can't see what meaningful advantage you'd get from watching training in binoculars. Far better off watching tapes of their last few matches

Something all wrong about this and it stinks.
Luton getting to a final after being knocked out and now Southampton with Boro getting to a final after being knocked out.

Wasn’t binoculars it was a live feed via smartphone, so it involved staff at the club to view/record/analyse etc


I’ve got a couple of friends who are Saints fans they agreed with the disqualification and are far more angry about their own club.

Are they not the only team to have a shot on target at the goal in the final, too?

I think they should have been in the final, but the decision should have been made before they even played each other. They were informed before the game, and therefore it should have been a by to the final for boro.

If you really wanted to play the gog card, as they were also caught spying twice during the season, the place could have gone to the next team in the league.

The issue was timing, and I think the EFL were banking on Boro doing a job on them to make the decision just about next seasons point deduction
