[Football] Playoff Boro v Villa

[Lady Whistledown]

I thought Grealish was quality tonight, and comparing him to watching Tom Cairney last night I think i’d prefer to see us sign Grealish given the chance.

I'm not sure he's Chris Hughton's type of player, given his infamous "lifestyle issues", and our reputed due diligence procedures.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Merson the pundit ....hmmm,

Off topic....isn’t it about time that an effort that hits the bar or post counts as on target

Who are you? Andy King?

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Very good player Grealish, not sure we're in his league when he comes to move on

That was embarrassing from Aston Villa, a pitch invasion for winning a play off semi. I thought they were a big club??

They are. 40,000 there tonight. Hope they come up. Proper giant of English football. If under achieving.

Who remembers Steve Gibson saying they were going to smash the Championship and go up as Champions ?

Didn't we have a pitch invasion last time we won a play-off semi?

Anyway, all football fans are the same and I don't begrudge Villa fans a chance to celebrate, its their first playoffs ever

Sorry but if they were a big club they wouldn’t be invading the pitch for winning a Championship play off semi final.

Our history compared to theirs? It was a big deal for us.

Almost as huge as Sheff weds!

Certainly prefer them to Boro...but I found the ones I met for both matches last season an arrogant lot

don't be arrogant

You didn't read that article did you? He said he wanted to smash the Championship and go up as champions, not "going to smash the Championship.". I want the Albion to get into Europe next year but I don't think they're going to.

 

[m20gull]

He's making up the his own laws, AGAIN. If he used the approved set he would have sent him off.

"Where a player denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by a deliberate handball offence the player is sent off wherever the offence occurs." So I guess he didn't see a shot on target as a goal-scoring opportunity.

Maybe he’s learned from his past mistakes and grown up a bit ! I saw glimpses of a young Gazza tonight in the way he drives forward with the ball and has good vision - he’d be worth a gamble in my book as that creative spark in our team.

Not sure how happy supporters invading a pitch negates 100 odd years of club history.

 

[Munkfish]

When did pitch invasions become a thing for semi final wins?

I think those in glass houses shouldnt throw stones.

We did it back in 2004 when we beat Swindon.

 

[Munkfish]

Sending off... Yes or no - thoughts folks?

IMO 100% sending off. No call on doible jepody. The only thing saving him Would be the defender hacking it off the line. 60/40 that he fot to it.
