Football restored to normal for tonight at least

Surely a Sky commentator didn’t ask that? Outlandish, but also very funny 😂

Seems like you’re mistaken. Boro are in the final

Did he say he had a shit haircut?

Social media is already in meltdown. On their official Twitter a lot of them are having a pop at Steve Gibson! 🤣

Did Boro throw the game because they’re that confident of being there anyway?

I say this sitting in an Orlando terminal with shit WiFi with nothing but this thread to keep me up to date 😂

Latin for Stewart and I can’t believe I’m saying this - anyone with pace for Scienza

He’s been crap for months, Arsenal excluded

Larin and Downes both should’ve started. Stewart and Charles are both better when coming on as a sub.

Imagine not starting Flynn Downes in the biggest game of the season

If only

How we feeling? Confident?

No Downes is very bold! Charles is better off the bench

We shall be… begging to go to Wembley

This could be the highlight of the the match thread 😂😂

We won’t be kicked out the play offs. We won’t be expelled from the EFL. We will likely get a points deduction for next season. Our punishment is NOT Middlesbrough’s gain. That isn’t how it works. The EFL do not want this to drag on. Equally they will not want to be the ones to be seen dealing with this given legal arguments. They haven’t the time or resources.

It’s getting farcical now.

I heard from a Boro supporting mate that has brother popped into our club shop about ten days ago and bought a tracksuit before he went back up north. Make of that what you will. But it’s just as plausible and some of the stuff that is coming out from up there.

David Brent - Please don’t make fun of the disabled

You’re not familiar with sarcasm are you? Or humour? Or dare I say it, common sense and basic logic? No one has said we’re definitely not guilty. The club is merely being professional - that’s good in itself. It doesn’t mitigate if we originally did it but it shows a maturity compared to that of Boro/North East media, managers, fans etc - a lot of which have been adding layers to this and then changing it when a day later it doesn’t suit the narrative.

Would you not agree that it’s easier just to say nothing. The narrative has already been done. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The Streets - Cry Your Eyes

Morning Mr Gibson I’ve got a load of Pompey supporting mates, all but one have said “every team does it”, it’s hardly rocket science. A fine is justified. Regards

They might have little defence, so go the other way now - be professional. Don’t start a slanging match needlessly which will bite you on the arse later.
