A word about the so-called snicko graph that “proved” croatia striker matanovic touched the ball.

Darren Cann (referee decisions commentator on the BBC and, unfortunately for him, one of the least convincing men ever to see a microphone) said he was “100% certain” there was a touch that caused pasalic to be offside.

He based that certainty on “snicko” technology as this proved the touch.

This is what referee and VAR used to rule out the goal.

But even if you think snicko is a good idea (I don’t) there’s a massive problem with the snicko graph.

IT’S DOESN’T LINE UP WITH THE PICTURES!

Snicko shows one spike and we’re asked to believe that was the matanovic touch.

But there are 4 or 5 touches on the ball in a few seconds (the cross - matanovic? - portugal defender veiga - croatia’s pasalic - then gvardiol scoring).

Snicko shows one?

They have to show a graph where all five touches (if there are five) are represented and where the graph spikes line up perfectly with the footage.

That would remove all doubt.

The way it was presented makes no sense and looks corrupt to the core.

EXCLUSIVE
Southampton FC’s Serbian owner Dragan Solak tells me he will not sack Tonda Eckert over Spygate, despite the "mistake" the head coach made when authorising an espionage campaign against rival Championship clubs ⬇️

[Alfie House @AlfieHouseEcho]

That'll be that for Saints on Spygate then, pending any FA action. Nobody loses their job, siege mentality going into new season. Solak promises team capable of promotion, he thinks Eckert - who says "I'm a young coach and made a mistake" - is the man to deliver it.

[Saints Analysis @saints_analysis]

A few ramblings on Spygate:

- Firstly, it’s embarrassing and, if I’m honest, has put a cloud over yesterday’s win and a brilliant playoff tie in my mind, along with several other things around the game. I expect better of my club all round

- Do I think the “spying” benefitted us vs Middlesbrough? No, Boro were the better team in 1st leg and we were better in the 2nd leg, winning with a fortunate goal, that’s football. I think the build-up affected us negatively in 1st leg too. No evidence of “professional surveillance equipment” either

- It’s frustrating that Saints or one individual have felt the need to do it. They’ve proven they are absolutely good enough without doing this

- Either the intern has done this themselves through desperation to succeed or has been told to do this by a senior member of staff because he, as an intern, is dispensable (incredibly poor if true and intern then gets thrown under the bus).
Either way, it needs to make Saints look deeply at working practices

- Media coverage today and publishing a name is equally as poor as the incident itself. Give a name once an investigation is complete, particularly if it’s a young intern at the centre of this. He’s human at the end of the day, but it seems The Daily Mail don’t see that quality in many people. The image itself would have sufficed surely? Everyone has a Duty of Care in this situation to not make the intern himself a target for abuse, particularly if he’s been told to do this by someone else - we won’t know that until the investigation is complete

- Hopefully this incident helps Middlesbrough improve security and visibility at their training ground. It seems any member of the public could have gained info by watching where the intern was and that’s quite unbelievable

- Final, wider reaching point is that football can stop these desperate moves by levelling the playing field between PL and FL. The gap is insane and unsustainable, and Saints will have decided to do something like this because they know how important financially it is to win and go back up. If we stay down, we will be reliant on player sales and cost cutting. When teams drop down from the PL (like we’ve seen with Saints), their first year down gives them a huge budget to chuck at getting back up, and that puts other teams at a disadvantage. As a general football fan, I don’t want to see the same teams jumping up and down between the leagues all the time - teams like Middlesbrough do deserve a chance to break through the current glass ceiling
