Apparently Middlesbrough are going to carry on training from Monday morning in case Don Gibbo can play another blinder and get them a 4th bite at the cherry... 

Does that mean Saints get reinstated

Well done Mr Ilicali. Now can we have the name of your lawyers.....

Imagine make the trip down to Southampton - and losing and sulking all the way home; then just over a week later going down to Wembley, losing and heading home.

What a trip! 🤣

As funny was it was seeing that happen today - and it was absolutely hilarious - don't let the brief respite detract you from the fact it should have been us there celebrating going up but for a catastrophic failure at how the club is running and governing itself.

Next season it will be much harder to go up, with better teams in the division and likely us having a team of lower quality, and certainly depth.  We also have the small matter of 4pts to make up, and a playoff setup that introduces the potential for random factors derailing you.

I am not entirely sure what the new financial rules mean in all this either.  The club, if they choose to take any sort of accountability (it's not been forthcoming publicly thus far), owe it to the fans to give it a proper go, especially with it being the last year of parachute payments.

As for Boro, their fans must be devastated.  Bottled automatics and the playoffs twice in a single season.  Now their best player and homegrown talent will leave and they have their own mountain to climb in the summer.  Even with the tailwind of their media buddies during spygate they have continually let their fans down on the pitch - and now they are starting to ask questions of their club themselves.

Smashing the Hull team bus must have been tricky from up on the moral high ground.

Apparently it was disgruntled Southampton fans who did that, trying to get Boro charged.

Yes, that's what some of their unhinged were saying online.

[moonraker]

Looking at BBC HYA on the game there is very little support or sympathy for the Smoggies, and Gibson comes in for loads of stick.

A local firm makes high quality cider and Perry (this being the Three Counties area) from excess fruit donated and you get some of their lovely produce in return.

As bad as we have it now, imagine living in that town and supporting that shit all day every day.

My argument for supporting Hull is that, as a place, it contributes more to the UK. Smashing aquarium, major port, good at rugby league (if you’re into that).

Genuinely have no idea what Middlesbrough contributes.

Didn’t watch the match but did Hackney full on kick anyone after they’d knocked it past him about 2/3 seconds before?! Cry babies!!

That’s on the river at Newcastle/Gateshead, or was many years ago.

You've got to build them up so you can knock them down again.

Simon Peach has got a fantastic photo on his socials of McBurnie’s celebration in front of the Middlesbrough fans when he scored.

If you zoom in it’s a sea of red and white hands on heads in disbelief. 😂😂😂😂

I've just read that it was scrapped in 2019. Do literally no reason to go there no, other than for trolling purposes.

sorry, fast fingers.

Tried to say, With all respect to Hull I do feel their promotion fills one of the automatic relegation places next season so that only leaves two others to avoid the drop.     Potentially us particularly after the last campaign there but suppose time will tell.

I feel a little sympathy for Middlesbrough as I don't have an axe to grind there but on the face of it spy issue or not it's not really on to lose a game fair and square in the semi final stages and then be reinstated to have another go.    The spy issue saga, it's regrettable and unfortunate particularly for all Southampton fans who were blameless in the whole sorry episode.    A handful of individuals within the club structure got involved in something they shouldn't have and everyone misses out as a result.   The innocent were caught up in it and paid a price far more than the guilty ever could.

Middlesbrough played a significant part in 1981 where a defeat at their old Ayresome Park ground or whatever it were called back then a week or two before end of season saw us miss out on being Champions of England, in fact we could have won the treble that year.    So - today offers a kind of justice this end but they've suffered many times at the national stadium.    Won the League Cup (against Bolton !) a few years back but that was played in Cardiff I'm sure.

They lost today because they were poor and ineffective.   As is often at Wembley they fold on the biggest stage.    If a team in years past containing Ravanelli, Juninho and Emerson couldn't beat their opponents, what chance did they really have in future years and opponents.  

Spy issues and authorities and all their messing around aside, that should have been you in the final today. Expulsion from competition was taking it too far but as everyone has attested to a certain redemption was witnessed earlier.     I look forward to seeing what Hull City can put together over our two games next season.
