I mentioned Jess Barnes losing her assistance dog to cancer a few weeks ago. Unfortunately there's massive shortfall between the insurance payout and the actual bill and a just giving page has been set up. [Link]

Apparently the shortfall is much bigger than the origianal text suggests.

Dust your boots down, guys - this is your chance to play on the hallowed turf of Plough Lane. The WAWF Cup takes place on May 31 and we are looking for fans to line up to play along side the likes of Jon Main and Mickey Haswell (more TBC), in teams managed by Mark Robinson and Terry Brown. Full use of stadium/changing rooms etc. Hampshire referee etc. West Stand open for fans, Phoenix open for thirsty fans/players. Photos of the day and probably a few bits thrown in tbc too. And if you can't play, why not be an assistant manager or a mascot for the day... All proceeds to the playing budget, too. [Link]

Southampton's manager should be summarily dismissed immediately without any pay off for gross misconduct. Southampton need to get their house in order and try to restore their reputation. They only confessed to the other two incidents because they knew they were going to be found out. That intern having his picture now made public is unacceptable too (if the BBC article is to be believed).

I've no doubt this goes on elsewhere, especially abroad where this cheating seems to be rife. Hopefully, it will stop. So much for clubs saying they just focus on themselves and let the opposition worry about them.
The Ipswich one involved them buying and wearing Eastleigh training kit as Ipswich were training there. It was also same day of the match, which was an evening kick off.

Interesting to see that they may have declined to be involved in the Ipswich one but then did the Boro one later.

Could have just been that they had other plans rather than a moral issue. Very poor for them to place that onto junior/unpaid staff. That would be like our board asking an u paid and inexperienced volunteer to front up an election rule challenge appeal or two. Cowardly.
I really hope that the junior staff get support. I doubt it’s the kind of experience they were looking for when applying for their jobs.

Leddy, I remember when supporters got to debate about the squad after the announcement rather than having it drip fed they day before.

Thanks for the link Mags - made for interesting reading. Seems the panel took significant umbrage at the fact that the spying was decided/instifated at a senior level but the task was placed on the head of a junior staff member/intern.

In other words, Southampton FC leadership are cheats and cowards.
Celebration police OI ;) Let them enjoy the win best to do it asap while everyone is still genuinely joyous.

I remember when players kept quite about their inclusion or not in World Cup squads until the official announcement. Now it's straight onto social media to moan if they are left out.

I guess Villa know that they are in the Champions League regardless, so they did it for the fans…

I know Villa can only finish 4th or 5th and Citeh will be 2nd but is having an open top bus parade less than 72 hours before the game, respecting the competition? What was wrong with Monday or Tuesday?

Final one on global population (for now…) - Hans Rosling RIP was a brilliant demographic scientist, and this is one of his presentations that allays some of the fears about the future expansion (or likely otherwise) of the world’s total population - in short, falling birth rates in MEDCs and improved education in LEDCs mean that in the longer term (not our lifetimes I’m afraid), the total will stabilise at a level which the planet can most likely sustain [Link] It’s an hour, so patience is required if you want to learn more… 😌

I hope it’s a cracking final after all this crazy build up. I kinda like the idea of two teams playing each other with no time to prepare in detail how to best nullify their oppo.

You might even argue that Boro have the advantage in that respect as they kept training in the hope that they’d be playing against Hull. While Hull probably spent some decent time prepping on the expectation of playing against The Flanders Pigeon Murderers.
It is all a done deal now. Come on you Tigers.

As for Southampton spying, the fact they used disguises surely means they knew the rules and that they were breaking them. They bought and wore Eastleigh training kit to spy on Ipswich when they trained at Eastleigh.

I'm guessing they want some of the Southampton population, since they aren't travelling to London now...😁

If the play off matches between Southampton and Middlesbrough had been put on hold to wait for the outcome of the hearing, and Southampton were thrown out of the playoffs, then Middlesbrough would get a bye into the final.

Appreciate, time scales meant the playoffs had to go ahead as tgey couldn’t preempt the hearing.
Sounds about right, particularly at some of the places I've worked Bolt CEO says he let go of his entire HR team for creating problems that didn’t exist: ‘Those problems disappeared when I let them go’ | Fortune [Link]
