And they won the playoffs. Boro have no right to be a PL team next season. Promote Hull. |  |

No they have been preparing for the possibility of facing Hull |  | |  |

They didn't go anywhere because of the possibility of what we have heard today. |  |

They have still been training since the semi-final defeat, they haven't been allowed to go away on holiday. In fact they probably have more of an advantage, as they know who they would be playing against. Hull would've had to plan to play either. [Post edited 19 May 19:26]

Yep, kept in training instead of jetting off - clearly paid off, glad they’re being rewarded 👍 |  |

| Boro going up would be a complete farce! on 19:26 - May 19 with 2673 views | belgablue | It doesn't quite sit right for me but not overly fussed. They admitted spying on us - can you imagine what we'd be saying if we hadn't got it over the line? i.e drew against QPR thus missing out by 2 points (that Saints cheated out of us etc...). |  |

Not much to follow. They got spied on but because it came out beforehand and the guy was caught it clearly rattled Southampton and they still manage to miss about 20 golden chances in the first half to settle it and lost the tie. Are the commission going to reward us 3 points from the April game as well? Could Oxford have stayed up if they had the points when that fixture was played, who else gets another shot? IMO no chance Boro deserve a one game for the biggest prize in football, especially after watching both those games. Southampton being thrown out I agree with (didn't think I would happen, EFL have been brave) but Hull are the only side to win and advance in the playoffs. [Post edited 19 May 19:27]

I’d argue the system should have kicked out Southampton the moment they found out - ie before they played Boro |  |

The entire season and butterfly effect is kind of interesting here now the EFL have done that it could get interesting. I hope no one else was at it because Southampton is about to go nuclear with their appeal. |  |

Not as simple as that - you have to have a proper process. It seems to me the Football League have got this one right. Let's hope the Saints don't appeal, as they have pretty much admitted the indiscretion. Eckert must be going to be dismissed (once the lawyers have done their job). |  |

I think suspending that game would have been the call. |  |

Just been told Oxford won that game, I assumed they lost! |  |

I think they’ll absolutely batter Hull. It’s a free hit for them, and I think it’ll help them knowing that. 4-0 Boro. [Post edited 19 May 19:48]

They'll probably miss 27 first half chances again and then cry about their defender make a stupid foul in the box, so I am not actually too sure what I am worried about. [Post edited 19 May 20:18]
