@ryanganderson22 @NorthamScott I think I'll duck out of this discussion now Ryan, I don't really think it's worth my time if you think you're making a valid point here.

Have a nice evening.

@ryanganderson22 @NorthamScott It could have been Juninho, Tony Mowbray and Craig Hignett on the panel, with 3 Pompey players doing the appeal hearing and the verdict would have still been totally and utterly fair.

[Simon Banoub @banouby]

@ryanganderson22 @NorthamScott You're being irrational.

Read the reasons.

[Simon Banoub @banouby]

@AlfieHouseEcho Maybe start actually owning it a bit

[Simon Banoub @banouby]

@SaintsExtra You don't hide stuff you think is ok

[Simon Banoub @banouby]

@IamBalhamMatt As for your point on timing:
- Southampton asked for more time
- the other charges were only brought on the Sunday

[Simon Banoub @banouby]

@IamBalhamMatt Fair and square?

[Simon Banoub @banouby]

"disproportionate"

Honestly, all (most of) you pundits, hang your heads in shame at your analysis of this.

[SaintsExtra @SaintsExtra]

🚨 @mjshrimper on #SaintsFC and Spygate:

“The key evidence was messages between Tonda Eckert and analysts. There appears to have been pushback from the analysts, ‘I’m not sure we should be doing this, I don’t want to do this.’

“Eckert telling them to get on with it, telling them, ‘I hope you come back with better stuff this time, because you didn’t come back with great stuff the previous time.’”

@BrookMatthew Well yeah that's what they should have done, that would have been the not-cheating way to handle it.

@patricksturg Hi Patrick

Southampton knew Middlesbrough's team a day before it was announced. Middlesbrough did not know Southampton's team.

That's an advantage.

@JacobsBen Every single person who said the word 'disproportionate' should be deeply, deeply embarrassed.

Especially if their job is to talk about football for a living.

@arse2mouse Also I'm annoyed that this has lured me back onto X and looking forward to deleting my account again - it's as awful as I remember

[Simon Banoub @banouby]

@arse2mouse Would have been happy if Hull had been promoted, but will take the trip to Wembley if I can get a ticket.

All this chat about a disproportionate punishment is nonsense.

[Simon Banoub @banouby]

@jamesaknight I think this is an interesting take, and I wonder if Millwall have considered this. Fundamentally it's a cup competition, and if you get kicked out of that your opponent progresses.

@ben8wade @GalapagosDivin @TractorSaint I find it hard to get worked up about it. Matty Targett was time wasting, the ball boy was being a bit of an arse, move on.

[Simon Banoub @banouby]

@jamesawarren You did say you'd get a backlash

[Simon Banoub @banouby]

@GalapagosDivin @TractorSaint I didn't realise this - seems to happen all the time. Thanks for the clarification.

Rules are important.
