obelisk

The equivalent of a £200m fine on top of a 10 point deduction. It's crazed.

Middlesbrough will for ever be known as a whinging bunch of wet fannies who can't take responsibility for their own shortcomings. First brexit, then Fagash and now this. Pathetic bunch of cry-babies.

It's what I've been waiting for all season. This Independent Hearing is certainly getting the juices of anticipation going. This is where the action is. Will it go to penalties or will it be decided in the time allotted? This is most certainly what football is all about. Fine margins and master tacticians with the result in the balance. Can't wait. Perhaps they should have sold tickets.

St Mary's?

Indeed. Something that was allowed one day but not the next. Minor infringement.

Thanks for that. Any idea whether Boro really are continuing to train in the expectation that all this will moaning will get them a place at Wembley? Or is it just more hogwash?

Just agree to buy them a fence.

I'll be in Madeira (it's where us old people go for their hols) so I suppose will have to find a suitable bar.

Remind me not to employ you as a witness for the defence. Ludicrously over the top.

Phew!

Larin gives away another stupid fk

What the hell is Peretz doing?

Don't just kick it anywhere Saints

Too early?

A fluke. 2-1

Saints don't look like scoring.

Stupid foul, Larin. Gives them a chance

Saints so much on top but not getting the ball into dangerous areas fast enough. Boro just playing for penalties.

A bit less of the fannying around Saints.

How the hell did we miss that?

Saints still have a stupid mistake in them.

Boro running out of puff. Saints look stronger but they need to make it count before that lottery at the end.

Ref misses another penalty.

THB ought to do better from that corner.

Still too early to get the winner just yet.
