Middlesbrough Vs Brighton & Hove Albion *****Official Match Thread*****

[Kinky Gerbil]

He got ball first. Don't want to post in haste but seems a wee bit harsh.

Doesn't matter if he got the ball first.

Very Harsh - but can see why he was sent off - reckless and in the refs mind what went on 2 minutes before would be fresh

 

[symyjym]

It was the incident just before that made the refs decision. Shame the ref doesn't have the benefit of a replay.

 

[KZNSeagull]

No intent. Played the ball. Ref gave that once he saw the injury. Very unlucky.

 

[OzMike]

can we do it

 

[Drebin]

How did that challenge do that much damage?

No shin pads. Wasn't that nasty. His foot was up, his studs were down, but stuanis leg was on its way up. It was a clash rather than a stamp.

 

[GoingUp]

Well atleast its 1-1 with everything to play.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

A wounded seagull is dangerous

 

[dingodan]

Who did Sidwell replace I missed it?

 

[maltaseagull]

This is a ****ing disaster. Stephens will miss the play offs.

We may not need them!

 

[GoingUp]

One more sub left, bring on Kaz, have someone run direct at the defence and bring some free kicks.

 

[Mowgli37]

Who did Sidwell replace I missed it?

Murphy.

 

[dingodan]

Murphy.

Good call, thanks.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Gash-ton RamIrez

 

[AmexRuislip]

Well atleast its 1-1 with everything to play.

Derby all over again

 

[Mackenzie]

it was a clear red to me.

Reckless.

[Marty McFly]

I presume we're only playing with one up top now?

I'd get Skalak on. Use him for his crossing and set pieces.

 

[brakespear]

Didn't see that arm from Knocky actually hit Leadbitter in the face.

 

[mlg57]

Who did Sidwell replace I missed it?

Murphy

 

[black shadow]

definite red!

Bad injury of course but the player was unlucky to be injured like that. That was never a red card. It looks like Mike Dean has reacted to the injury rather than the tackle ... he only got he card out once he saw the injury.

Watching on sky...definite red...what an idiot!

 

[fruitnveg]

We look better with 10 men!
