v Middlesborough (h) - 4/4/2025, 8pm k/o

[jim mk2]

This is awful. Boro could have scored 3 in the last 5 minutes. Meanwhile up front we haven't tested their keeper yet

[RoverDom]

Short corners... they actually don't want a goal do they?

How are they not 4 or 4 up here? At the very least.

They’ve realised how shite we are and all lost their heads desperate to get on the score sheet. More professional and it’d be about 6-nil

[roverandout]

The commentators are clueless

I’m sure Chaddy tried to argue that our January business was better than Boros. Not sure what he had been smoking and not sure even he can put a positive spin on tonight 

He’s just gonna start turning his attention to the summer and our ‘exciting’ plans. The transfer thread window is going to take a pounding.

[gazzaa2]

Playoffs look gone now.

Good job we have over 50 points.

[K-Hod]

Left after 65 minutes and having a pint in Ewood WMC. That’s the best thing that’s happened today.
Wank from our lot.

Clear yellow not even a foul given.  Compare that to Buckley's, another biased ref.

I mean technically it's a red - slide tackle from behind and the follow through has cleaned out the man. We saw loads of column inches for the Tarkowski tackle in the Merseyside derby, that one was no different (in terms of the ball being won, but the follow through being dangerous).

You can say that again.

Looking forward to the replies to this one 😂😂

[Andy]

Pears doing his best to gift yet another goal to yet another opposition.

You'd have to be a bit simple to think he's anywhere near good enough to start games at Championship level.

Never mind the Championship, I’m unconvinced Pears should be playing football anywhere on a professional basis…

Except Burnley.

I mean, he just wouldn't. 

I could count on one hand the number of managers that would have lost their job within a similar time frame. 

Michael Appleton and Henning Berg?

SKY could have made a massive thing about the protests - this random Friday game couldn't have landed better for them really.

Alas, as we're not one of their chosen few they couldn't give a toss and are just going through the motions with their coverage.

Play offs never an option after Jan transfer window, we always implode, why get hopes up?

[Tom]

We should be 4 or 5 down here they’ve just not hit the target every time they get in

Ref has been awful but I thought it was a great tackle that one, but I’m never sure on the rules with the wrap around leg 

[doctorryan]

Thinnestass needs to change his name.

[Exiled_Rover]

A GK taking up a good position and making a good save. 

What's that like?

[B16Rover]

I'm racking my brain for other hobbies.  I can't keep watching this, I'll get sectioned.  

 

There's a lot of investment spend in wood working, probably prices me out.  Tai Chi is free in the park?  

[G Somerset Rover]

The post match bollocks from Ismael (and probably Waggott et al) about this ‘second half fight’ is going to be beyond nauseating.

It’ll be forgotten that Boro could and should have scored about four this half alone.

I though it and the Tarkowski one were good tackles - I'm just saying by the rules they're both red cards these days.

Cauley fucking Woodrow

We are saved!
