Boro have always had weird mardy arse fans more so when they are outplayed and well beaten.

I had said tonight is the night we Gel and we did

Thanks Roy
 
Middles b rough and there little horrible town rougher along with there supporters
 
Foul on the keeper. What a fucking dildo!
Whilst I would rather keeper weren`t quite as protected as they are in the modern game - given how this stuff is normally reffed I was surprised the foul wasn`t given. Anel's arm impeded the keeper from getting to the ball (in a natural jumping for the ball sort of way)..

9/10 times that's given as a foul to the keeper. Still it probably balanced out the 50/50 penalty call so...
 

If JLT hadn't pulled the boro's player's shirt, Boro would still have got a penalty. Robinson would have been judged to have damaged the Boro player's cuticle with the stitching on his collar. This is Matt Donohue we're talking about.

Cheers Roy.
While the above may have some merit with the standard of referees in the Championship, fact remains that JLT did have hold of the guy's shirt. He was seen, and the ref didn't see the fact that it was a bit handbags and six-of-one... they even mentioned on Sky that it was harsh and the ref obviously hadn't seen the reciprocation. If all he can see is JLT with two fistfulls of shirt, then it's a penalty. Surefire way to not get penalised as such is to NOT GRAB HOLD OF SHIRTS, and JLT is old enough to have learned that by now.

Didn't think it was a foul. Keeper should have had that all day long given he had the space to run up, and could have got his arms in the air to catch or punch. He mistimed it and ended up trying to jump under Anel... and yes, we got a tiny bit of balancing fortune for the iffy penalty in that i don't think for a moment Anel headed that in the way he meant to. Seemed to come off his shoulder / side of his face at a lucky angle to just drop in.

A win is a win though, and we certainly deserved it overall as they offered absolutely fuck all except for 5 mins at the end of each half.

Agree with most of that, but have you not seen the replay of Anel's header? Nothing fortunate about it at all. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, saw a couple of the replays. Still looked to me like it was more shoulder than head, but maybe i'm being overly harsh.

The keeper clattering into you will probably put you off a bit - credit to him for still making contact and guiding it goalwards.

If the keeper doesn`t come out Anel is making a much better connection and may be making the keeper make a save or powering it home a la Egan v Wolves

As it was, because the keeper did come out, if Anel wins the header and gets it goalward, he's probably got a good chance of scoring - as demonstrated.

Nope, top of his noggin

“Sheff Utd have always been a proper sh*thouse team. It’s their DNA.” - says a fan of a team with Luke Ayling in it.
“Singing about a chip butty. What’s that all about? Weirdos. They’re definitely dog botherers.” - is there a song about the delights of a night out in Middlesbrough? No, thought not.
“the third should have been ruled out for a foul on the keeper." - 🤣
 
Thank you, Roygbiv

Fair summary from them tbf, I didn't realise Carrick was under threat, just shows how hard it is to get out of this league without the PL money. Very few managers are given sufficient time, so the cycle starts again. Clearly, they don't like Wilder, but arguably they would be no worse off now, if they had stuck with him.

Carrick did well initially, but it's a hard gig in the championship when it's your first job. Not a fan of Parker, or Farke, but they are proven promotion winners, the new generation of Warnocks.

For all the pundits and experts who wrote Wilder off based on his stints at Boro and Watford, they need to look at the fortunes of those that came after at both clubs. His time at both was nowhere near the disaster it’s made out to be, but it’s just easy lazy labeling.

Clubs that are either in a bad period ('Boro) or have bat-shit crazy Chairmen (Watford) bring in someone with a proven record of success, but because that person then has to spend so long sorting out the internal nonsense and schizophrenia and results don't instantly turn around.... as you say. Easy labelling and easy scapegoating.
 
“How bad are the Sheff Utd fans? Their team are dominant and still not a peep from them.”

True The Lane has been like a morgue recently but last night was the best atmosphere for ages. Loud chants from all sections of the crowd, even the family stand was loud.
BDTBL is always at its best when there has been a few contentious incidents that get folk riled up and the officials being absolute dog shit last night certainly helped.
 
What’s this? The Boro fans starting to turn on the great Michael Carrick?! Surely not!

After all he was soooo much better than the dinosaur Wilder apparently…

He’s gone from the messiah to a very naughty boy it seems!!

It sounded very load on TV - especially the roar at BBD's goal.

Of particular fun was Wilders expletive laden rant about some decision or other (not the penalty) that had to be then apologised for by the commentator :)

Really pees me off when they apologise for bad language.
 
The shithouse comment makes me laugh. Every side in the division does it….even Middlesbrough.

Shirt pulling, time wasting, taking a throw in 20 yards up the line from where it went out etc. That throw they won down near the Kop side of John St in 2nd half eventually got taken in Waitrose Car Park.
 

9/10 times that's given as a foul to the keeper.

Honestly I don’t think that’s the case. Anel only went towards the ball, not into the keeper. His arm was up, but that’s not a foul just because the keeper jumped into it.

The goalie was simply late to the party. He needed to be attacking the ball earlier and well above head height. If he’d done that then the attacking player would have had no business making contact with him, and it’s a foul.

Only the keeper seemed to believe he’d been fouled and even then it was unconvincing…
