MATCHWATCH : Middlesbrough (a)

[6ft Kerplunk]

That's pretty attacking. Suspect we will get utterly tonked, or pull off a big shock.

It's only attacking if you can get the ball in the opposition half otherwise its a very lightweight defensive midfield.

oxf*rd the EFL

Kinell

[Pepe the Horseman]

Proper harsh pen. Yiadom hand by his side, and Boro player scooped the ball at it.

[Snowflake Royal]

Arm out, movement towards the ball, but very close to him and looked fairly natural movement.

Think the ref had to give it but feels a bit harsh.

Game over.

[Snowflake Royal]

Bloody hell Hendrick, easy ball into space for McIntyre and he spaffs a ridiculously hard straight through ball for Ince way too hard.

We're going to get bugger all chances, can't do that badly when we get forward.

[tidus_mi2]

Was it a foul on Long? He's a big diver so I have no idea

[Pepe the Horseman]

Now THAT is a penalty. Ffs.

[Pepe the Horseman]

That was blatant.

[Snowflake Royal]

Hmmm 50/50 pen for long there. Goes down easy, but nothing on the ball and clear contact... not convinced, but no softer than the handball, even if that was clear as day.


Ref losing it.

[Millsy]

Looks like a clear pen to me.

But ridiculous FK to Reading when Bouzanis screwed up and would have lead to definite second goal, probably to make up for it.

[tidus_mi2]

Good thing the bottom 3 can't seem to pick up much points despite their perilous position. I'm really torn on the Blackpool vs Burnley game, don't want Burnley to beat our record, don't want Blackpool to get any points.

Never 50/50. Pull the splinters out your arse, Ian.

I lean slightly more pen than not, but it was a bit just normal holding and physicality, and Long brings a well known reputation.

Playing much better now, in the game shame a bit too late and no end product...


Phew offside. Not sure how.

Not ridiculous at all. Bouzanis had the ball under control and the Boro player kicked it out of his hand.

Well, being an alt account for Paul would explain a bunch about your posting.

Looked suspiciously like he'd already taken it outside the area, and was losing it... but I'll take it.

Lino better view on that.

Hanging on just about.

I'm a Boro fan and it was stonewall.

Fair enough makes sense. Missed replay, just looked bizarre to me live.

Yeh in real time I thought it was a strange one. But replay showed he still hand his hand on the ball.
