Aaaah, I'm an idiot. Misread the results. Anyway, my point still stands. Sorry about your predictions. | | | |

I was talking to Albert after the game, for about 10 mins or so, and I mentioned the shithousing. He laughed and said "and it wasn't me who got booked". He is just a guy living his best life. I also mentioned that I had seen Stan score a panenka penalty in front of the Loft (I think it was some 1/2 time entertainment with Marsh) and he asked me did that mean I wanted him to score one. I said of course, it doesn't matter what the score is, it's only a game. I don't imagine for one minute it will ever happen but if it does, it never happened, I don't know what you are talking about... unless he scores and it's the winner. | |

And then I looked up at the sun and I could see - Report on 10:22 - Aug 8 with 4627 views | daveB | I had to follow the game on my phone and it was absolute torture, when it got to 3-1 just knew what sort of game it was going to be. Suffering every feeling of doubt and panic you get in these kind of games whilst not being able to watch it and the only updates being texts from mates at the game going from we look brilliant, you are banned from coming again to saying "We're bang in trouble here" it was horrific. The family all gathered round to sing Happy Birthday to my niece whilst I stare angrily at phone muttering how much injury time!! Great win though and something this team badly needed. First time we've won a game without a very late or last minute winner since we beat Reading in January | | | |

Straight to pens after 90 like last year at Orient. Draw is a possibility at Charlton tomorrow. We might get to see this earlier than you thought. | | | |

What a game, and what an essay. That's why I pay a little bit for the Patreon thing now, even though I don't really use it. Reading writing as well-informed, warm, observant, sharp and witty as this without paying something feels wrong. | | | |
And then I looked up at the sun and I could see - Report on 13:51 - Aug 8 with 3832 views | PinnerPaul | Thanks Clive, captured the day nicely! Bit harsh on the ref, no KMI (Key Match Incidents) wrong in your view and mine. Don't like 'just about' got one advantage right, could just as well say 'just about' got the Illias one wrong - but there we go, can't agree on everything. Wilder's rant sums up why referees, at all levels, are so reluctant to speak to managers. They all claim to want 'just a word' or to 'just ask a question', when really all they want to do is have (another) rant about a decision or three! Can't quite believe he can't see the hypocrisy of accusing the referee of making comment on his and his team's coaching (which he didn't anyway!) but think its perfectly fine to rant on about the referee's performance. You coach/manage, let the referees referee matey! Anyway lets finish on a positive - great day - you know what; Boro's 2 goals actually made it more enjoyable in the end - through adversity and all that - but agree, it WAS exhausting to watch! Thanks again. | | | |

Have it on good authority that Illy read your preview and had a word with the lads: 'we can't have this, boys, let's do one for old time's sake, yeah?' He's now furious you only gave him a 6 despite being the only one in the team bar Kakay not out on his feet by the 75th minute. | |

Most of the way through the full 90 now and I make you right I think so probably going to up him to a 6. | | | |
And then I looked up at the sun and I could see - Report on 16:49 - Aug 8 with 3331 views | terryb | At half time I said that this match was far from over & fully expected a second 'boro goal at the start of the second half. However, after they scored that, I thought we looked quite comfortable defensively. We saw that the assistant had flagged for offside before Giles(?) squared the ball across goal, so even that was relaxed! Although it was nowhere as blatant as the Brighton penalty, if Dunne doesn't score it should have been a penalty for the defender holding Dickie & then pushing him toward the 'keeper. Not that one would have been given! | | | |
