Muniz leapfrogging McGree after the goal

[Alexander Supertramp]

No it's an offence to do so therefore would be disallowed.

You’d end up with rugby lineouts at every set piece!

That year at Fulham appears to have helped Rodrigo gain a good grasp of his English.

Either that or our Duncan speaks good Portuguese.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Duncan is fluent in 32 languages, he’s a very clever guy by all accounts.

I don’t know if you saw it but when he came on him and duncan were discussing tactics moving his hand as if to say you go left I’ll go right. And after that watmore chance they looked at each other to say well nearly worked.

I was desperate for Dunc to score when he came on, they will have been foaming at the mouth.

And he would have done so if he'd put that chance either side of the keeper rather than straight at him.

Great by Muniz last night. Think he will get better in each game. The Mackem defence certainly knew they been in a tough game last night and were glad to see the back of him when he went off. Think he will form a formidable partnership with Akpom on his return

I've always assumed it must be but never been able to find it in the laws. Do you know where it is in there?

When I've seen players climb on their own players for Leverage over the years on tv its always been a free kick given. Heard commentators say its illegal.

(always love a player who plays with a smile on his face)

Even Assombolonga?

Here’s Boro attacking our next set piece





Unfortunately, the corner from Howson didn’t beat the first man

Apparently it's an "unwritten" law but refs have been advised to treat it as unsporting behaviour.

Thanks that would explain me struggling to find it written down (which in itself seems odd as they seem keen to write and re-write the laws every summer as a sort of hobby thing) I guess it could also be "dangerous" play in that a player coming down from such a height could injure themselves or someone else that they landed on!

 

[Englishteacher]

He’s got some serious spring on him. I also noticed he did an almost impossibly high leap for a header at one point during the game. He punched above his weight with their central defenders.

Loads of personality. Brazilians are absolute warriors, I love them.

That’s an amazing celebration but ffs he can stop that right now Alex Ferguson would probably fine him two weeks wages for that, don’t you dare pull a hamstring leaping over our goalscorer every time they score!

Look out for the Ramazani celebration for Almería against Real Madrid. I think he was fined for it.
