Forest have sacked Dougie.

Another one of Mercer's "gems" bites the dust.

I don't believe it,

Not until an ITK says so, that is

[Stuart]

It's sickening to hear the commentators try to find balance in the protestor vs non-protestor debate. Just because it's a London club, there are "no rights and no wrongs" and "fans who have paid their money have the right to do what they think is right".

And the Charlton fans are actually DISRUPTING THE MATCH by blowing referee whistles and throwing beach balls on.

Whilst I'm fine with fans showing their feelings, what I am not happy with is the hypocrisy of demonising Northerner Rovers fans whilst sympathising with the 'Cock-a-ney' Charlton ones.

Even Hollowhead at half time was sitting on the fence.

[West Yorks Rover]

Charlton score 1-0

[Tom]

Wow Boro and Hull really are trying to make the road to the premier league for Burnley as easy as possible

[JBiz]

The whistle thing is deplorable.

Ever since I've been old enough to remember, the whistle at a football game is a massive no no.

I feel for charlton fans, we (if anyone) should know what it's like to see our club run badly. That's doesn't mean I can't think the idiots with whistles are completely out of order.

It's not a chicken - that makes a statement, the whistle is an action with only negative impact. I've never watched a game and been so confused...

[West Yorks Rover]

Rhodes had a free header which he put straight at the keeper, still not going for him is it ?

He has to start scoring soon, we need that £2m.

I didn't realise it was on telly, not that I can watch it anyway.

Radio reporter said that they're using their whistles everytime Boro go forward with the ball, wonder whether the game will be postponed,

if Boro lose surely they will make a complaint anyway, could be replayed ?

[arbitro]

Uncle Steve Agnew. Looks like Steve Kean and is called Agnew - poor bloke.

[JHRover]

Rhodes off and Nugent on. Middlesbrough fans can't hack them not playing together up front.

Middlesbrough and Hull have shown relegation form over the last six games. An incredible collapse which has played right into Burnley hands. Not only do things constantly go their way on the pitch but their rivals are self destructing at the crucial time.

No chance of it being postponed. It's been happening all game and the referee has already dealt with it. It will be in his match report I'm sure. I imagine there could be a case for a fine or penalty for Charlton for 'failing to control their fans'.

[JBiz]

I've only caught the second half after I came back from rehearsals, there is a load leaving at 75 minutes and they are 1-0 up!

JR has looked poor. I know, I know - the lad scores goals for fun given chances but his movement looks almost forced. His input could be described as cumbersome but the same could be said about about Boros all round play. No suprise if he's suffering a lack of confidence but it won't be long before the fans turn on him unless he starts scoring.

Incidentally, if you take out penalties: how many has JR scored for us?

2-0 good to see a player playing to the whistle(no pun intended..)

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

2-0 Charlton....fill yer boots Burnley.

Fair enough,as I said I'm not able to watch, thanks for that.

I seem to remember an Italian game ? having to be replayed back in the 90s, after the ref had stopped it several times.

might have been crowd trouble involved there too though.

[chaddyrovers]

Not surprised that Freedman has been sacked. Some fans aren't happy with his style of play.

Forest first team coach Paul Williams has taken over until end of the season.

Boro have been very poor today. They have a decision to make on Karanka's future and quickly. Boro need to bring someone like Moyes or Pearson as manager to get them over the line and promotion otherwise they surely will be embargo come the summer.

Charlton have played well today.

Doesn't look like he enjoying playing there.

They aren't creating chance for him but they have no tempo in their style of play

Rhodes off and Nugent on. Middlesbrough fans can't hack them not playing together up front.

They did start together when we played them. Didn't seem to help any.

They've bought themselves a problem really. The whole squad is set up for 4-2-3-1, but Rhodes doesn't really do anything to help the attacking midfielders get into the game.

[J*B]

Before the transfer window Boro where home and away the best team in the league. They spent a fortune and now can't buy a win. Lesson to be learnt.

The commentators were continually trying to fathom his ineffectiveness out. "He's not used to playing up front on his own" - really? "Maybe he should drop deeper". "The Charlton defence are playing a deep back four which restricts the space in behind them" - well playing a high line against him used to restrict him as well.

Never mind, he might score next week which will mean this week didn't matter. Glad he's gone to be honest. Graham is a far better player.

I know it's detrimental to us for Boro not to get promoted but a big part of me hopes they stay down and get slapped with an embargo, they are taking the absolute p*ss with their spending and getting away with it.

The conflict of accommodating Rhodes by setting up the whole team to suit his play... Fairly well-thread ground around here.

[den]

One Boro fan on their forum saying they have the best players in the league, but definitely not the best team. Ring any bells?

Darren Pratley - 0

Easily the worst footballer I've ever seen in my life.

I hate you Darren.

I hate that you're the captain of my club.

I hate that we worried about you leaving last year.

The cheers when you were substituted were not ironic, it was us celebrating you leaving the field. Good riddance.

Strange. Reading this forum after Browngate I thought our fans were the only people villainous enough to do such a thing. Hopefully poor Darren doesn't cry himself to sleep as we all feared Brown might after such treatment...

[Athlete]

Forest owners are akin to ours. A joke

The irony den is that Graham would be ideal for the type of football played by Middlesbrough.

[Tom]

The cruel irony for us is now Graham is in the shop window and not tied to us, other clubs will notice how effective he can be in this league.
