Southampton captain Taylor Harwood-Bellis appeared to mock a Middlesbrough player with a binoculars celebration amid allegations that Saints were spying on Boro training before their play-off clash 😬
@EFL_Comms Over a guy stood behind a tree on his phone?🤣 I assume the EFL is covering the costs for all Southampton fans who’ve forked out for travel and accommodation that now can’t be refunded, right?
We can announce that Gerhard Struber has been relieved of his duties as Bristol City Head Coach.
Roy Hodgson will take charge of the Men’s First Team until the end of the season, while the club will task the incoming Sporting Director with appointing a permanent Head Coach for the 2026/27 campaign.
The club’s recent performances have not met expectations and therefore Struber and Assistant Head Coach Bernd Eibler will leave with immediate effect.
@NTT20Pod Doing a pod on this chaps for your opinions? My thoughts linked and that’s even coming from a Bristol City fan who have reached the championship play offs once since 2008.
Textbook example of solving problems that don’t exist by the EFL circus.
Over the last 10 years, 8th place has finished roughly 19 points behind 3rd, that’s roughly 6/7 wins over a season. Thats not “missing out” that’s not being good enough to compete with the better teams. 1/3
If a team nearly 20 points off 3rd can still get promoted, what’s the point in the other 46 games, where’s the competitive integrity?
All you’ve proved @EFL, is you believe the tv schedule matters more than the league table, and its fans.

The play offs are meant to reward the best teams who narrowly miss out on automatics, not hand a lifeline to teams not even close.
Plus it’s promotion to a league that already has a yo-yo club problem, where we constantly see parachute payment teams bounce straight back up. 2/3
@SkyFootball Not one single fan asked for this, but when has the EFL ever cared about what supporters actually want?
Whilst you’re at it, why not just scrap any sort of competitive integrity and extend it to ten teams while you’re at it? 🤡

How much longer will you pretend you care about refereeing standards?
It’s clear that this is deliberate. You make it bad enough so VAR looks like the “solution”.
Fans spend hundreds, even thousands, only to watch the game ruined week after week. Embarrassing @EFL@FA_PGMOL
