"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..

Blatant dive. Ref should have booked him.

Flesh Wound!

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.

Gosh! I sure hope the emotional heartbreak from that first loss, and the emotional back and forth, didn't impact that second heartbreaking loss. 🙂

The unusual thing is that every Swede I’ve ever met, and I’ve met a few, are so far from this in terms of personality and born grit. He’s acting more like a Frenchman.

Makes me think of the Godfrey and Cream song ‘Cry’.

Ralph got pelters for an emotional moment at the end of the Liverpool win when everyone’s MH was down the bog. No such excuse for Hellberg.

As someone else said, it’s very un-Swedish as well.

You don't know how to play the game
And you cheat, you lie
You wave 200 million goodbye
You make me wanna cry
You don't know

You appeal the rules we abide by
You make me wanna cry
You laugh when we lose with our bye
You make me wanna cry

The only car (apart from a Land Rover Defender) I’ve ever seen burning on Motorways is Citroen Berlingos. And I do a lot of miles,
