"It's our fault" - Aidan Morris issues emotional Middlesbrough claim after play-off heartbreak

Fking right, players were not good enough to be given the final. They never earned it through merit.

That'll be a shock to the sky commentators who over the three Boro playoff games couldn't stop telling us how good Morris is at "running around a lot" 😂

If our midfield gets decimated this summer then I'd happily bring Morris in, was easily their best player over the two legs we played.

As much as it would wind up the Boro fans, I strongly believe it is unlikely Gibson will be wishing to do business with us any time soon.

FFS, Morris, how is Gibson supposed to sue anyone if you go spouting stuff like that in public?

Well we know this, over desperation to be in the final and get that premier league money. Are they in financial trouble?

They’ve lost 80 odd million over the last 5/6 years, but I think they ‘only’ lost 13 million last season which compared to most championship clubs. Isn’t bad at all..

An alternative take on Middlesborough fans, and granted it’s a tiny sample. There were say 15 or 20 in the bar of the hotel we were staying in after the semi final second leg in Southampton. They sat chatting football and drinking lots of beer, the kind of thing I do. One said Saints deserved to win on the night. Another wished us well in the final. Seemed a sound bunch to me, especially compared to some of the head bangers and head the balls we’ve seen at st Mary’s over the years.
