Its going to be the biggest load of crap ever and will go a long way to destroying the world cup as a spectacle. The sooner its over and back to proper football the better.

Whatever happens we need another goalkeeper that would strongly challenge Brynn and even take his place, as having a No 2 who everybody is worried about coming into the team like Wildsmith is no use at all. Whether this is our main priority is open to opinion but none the less must happen.

If Hansen, Sarmiento and Sene think they are the answer, then I arent sure what the question was. All three are crap.

Whatever happens now. It just proves we do nothing the easy way!

If it drags into Thursday then the final surely will have to be delayed until an evening next week.

After 12 days they are finally putting one day to this decision. People could think they aren't taking it particularly seriously.

Well the EFL have 11 days to sort this if they kick Southampton out of the play offs, minus a suitable time for the clubs involved to sell tickets for the final. If it drags to Friday that only gives 7 days.

I misread the question as did quite a few more. Apologies.

They can't. Boro couldn't be expected to continue training and prepare for a final that they may not be in. It needs deciding soon.

Bearing in mind that the actions of Southampton may well have effected Boro's preparations and the tie as a whole, how would a fine compensate them for this. The fine money goes to the EFL and doesnt address the issue at all. Swindon were expelled for their transgression as a fine would have been no help at all to Luton. I realise there were different circumstances but surely a similar outcome should apply.

The problem I forsee is if the decision drags on and it gets past the final with Southampton winning. If they decide to then throw Southampton out then they are likely to replace them with the runners up. Not a great result for Boro.

I get a feeling that *** will be twitching more at the EFL than at Southampton FC!

Sorted for me now.
