BREAKING NEWS: Hull to take legal action if they lose the final.
I'm personally getting fed up with all of this.
It's a strange and unique situation.... why can't Hull just accept the circumstances and just get on with it? Or.... at least... wait until after the game.
Are we getting into territories where lawyers decide the outcomes of who are winners and losers? |  | | |

That makes me want Middlesbrough to win. I'm getting sick of the idea of lawyers deciding football results. [Post edited 23 May 14:15]

Because middlesboro have trained for over a week to play hull.
Hull had 3 days notice they were playing boro |  | | |

Hull had 10 days to prepare for 2 possible opponents. They would have played 3 games in that time during the regular season with probably 3 different opponents.
Legal action would be a nonsense.
That said I want them to win because they will be weaker than Boro next season if they go up | |

For selfish reasons, I'd still prefer Hull. They're much less ready to take on the Prem than Middlesbrough. I could give a stuff about all the legal threats tbh. | | | |

3 days is enough. There are plenty of 3 day gaps between games in the Championship season. | |

From the BBC
Hull City owner Acun Ilicali has vowed to take legal action if the Tigers do not win Saturday's Championship play-off final against Middlesbrough.
Boro lost to Southampton in the semi-final - but were reinstated after Saints admitted to spying on the Teessiders' training session and were expelled from the competition.
"Our legal team says that we have to go for action, that's for sure," Ilicali told BBC Radio Humberside outside Wembley Stadium before kick-off in the final.
"So we have no doubt about it. Here, all we want is justice. If justice is broken, nobody will enjoy football."
Ilicali described the decision to allow Middlesbrough to re-enter the play-offs as "unbelievable".
He said: "If this action was so big that a team is out of the play-offs, why didn't they let them not play the semi-final, investigate and take Southampton out and put Wrexham in?
"Why is Wrexham out now? Put Wrexham in and continue the competition.
"For me, an eliminated team {being] put back - also our lawyers say this and that's their opinion too - is an incredibly wrong decision." | | | |

Yeah but it meant they definitely couldn't spy on their opponents, because 3 days is the 72 hour non-spying window. Everyone knows that. (Apart from dear old Tonda...) |  | | |

How is that basis for legal action though? Who has done something materially incorrect or against the rules?
It sucks for Hull as an innocent party, but the so are the EFL and Middlesbrough. Are they going to sue Southampton? |  | | |

It's utter nonsense. In a cup competition the cheater almost always gets chucked out and their opponent advanced. Sorry Hull it's unlucky but there's no case at all. Even if they delayed the game by a week there would be complaints that Boro had three weeks as opposed to Hull having 10 days to prepare. | | | |

I suppose they're playing an opponent who have already lost their semi final
Southampton have been expelled from the competition, the efl didn't say Southampton had forfeited the semi final fixtures - So really why are boro in the final? the results still stand. |  |

I’m a Tiger today. I work closely with club so it’ll be great to see them in the Prem from both a business perspective and also to see them up with us…especially after this interview Acun did two seasons back where we’d surprised the whole league getting promoted

Positivity i see the down arrow... for my info,, did the boro results automatically become voided at the point of expulsion? | |

When Bury fielded an ineligible player in the FA Cup in 2006 they got kicked out and we had to play Chester instead of getting a bye to the 4th round. I know it's a different offence but I don't see why it's any different.
Lucky for us we beat Chester and discovered Jon Walters. [Post edited 23 May 15:19]

It’s worse for ITFC if Boro go up. They also lost their semi final, don’t be daft lad. For football integrity we need Hull today and the nation is behind them outside of Middlesbrough and apparently TWTD | |

Surely you're supposed to field 11 eligible players.
I think Bury fielded an ineligible player in that match. |  |

it's a cup competition, so that's what precedence should dictate. the fact that they are in also backs this up! | |
