* The Original Unofficial "Official" Boro v Luton Match-Day Thread *

[birkbeck_dj]

It's a shame we lost to a blatant dive for a pen, but we played some good stuff without a few first teamers, allowing some of the second string to get some minutes. I can understand why Chuba wasn't risked. They would have tried to knack them

 

[dribble]

Giles poor? He could have had 3 assists with better finishing. Strange observation.

He was also at fault for their 2 nd goal and his defending is **** poor

Luton won’t get to Wembley

I agree, I think they’ll lose over two legs against whoever finishes 5th or 6th.

 

[Jonathan]

Yeah, let’s get wound up about an irrelevant result instead and bring some negativity into play.

We battered them with a second string side and they won through cheating. But IT DOESNT MATTER. What matters is when we go into those playoffs.

Look at the positives, stop moaning.

No? We played well, didn't deserve to lose, and got done by cheating. Why should anyone stop moaning? People generally don't like losing, and especially don't like losing to cheating, whether it matters or not.

Weird attitude.

 

[Borokian1876]

It looks written in the stars they do it, no doubt we’re better but it seems like everything is going there way

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

We’ll batter these over 2 legs or in a one off game at Wembley.

We can only play them in the final.

I really hope we do get them, would much prefer them to Sunderland or west brom.

Wouldn't mind Blackburn or Coventry either like, or Millwall.

Actually going through that list, this must be the weakest set of teams in the playoffs for ages? We've got a hell if a chance of getting promoted here.

Luton fans on their forum claiming there was a touch for the penalty

There was , I tiny touch .
My criticism was how far away our 2 centre halves were away from Morris , Lenaghan well out of position , Howson also , leaving a huge space for Morris to run into.

 

[dribble]

Can’t believe Sky would interview the cheat,sends out the wrong message.

 

[Littlejimmy]

Happened against Leicester in 1996, and against Norwich in 2015. They knew how we were going to play. In Leicester‘s case they man marked Juninho and Karmark kicked him all over the pitch. Part of me thinks this was in Carrick’s thinking tonight.

We’ll batter these over 2 legs or in a one off game at Wembley

Precisely the games I was thinking of, though I thought Lecester was in '97.

 

[Boro4life]

They got the cheating b****d doing a sky interview now

 

[Philly-Red]

“I thought I felt contact at the time” what the f*ck does that mean? In hindsight you don’t think you felt contact? You either did or didn’t you cheating c**t

 

[Norman_Conquest]

I don't know how Morrisons got the neck to come on the TV and come out with that.

 

[sweet_left_foot]

Luton fans on their forum claiming there was a touch for the penalty

there was a touch but it was glancing and not enough to put him on the deck unless he chose to.

 

[dribble]

Said he thought he felt contact, unbelievable.

 

[Teesste]

That’s surely all the FA need to charge the chunt.

If that isn’t bringing the game into disrepute I don’t know what is.

 

[Doncaster Smoggie]

There was , I tiny one .

There lad on Sky has just said he wasnt sure whether he was touched or not but went down all the same— shocking!!!

 

[Hap]

Good performance. Some key players rested. Fringe players got a good run out. Ref made a huge error.
Luton won’t have learnt much.

 

[TeessideCleveland]

“I thought I felt contact at the time” what the f*ck does that mean? In hindsight you don’t think you felt contact? You either did or didn’t you cheating c**t

His 2 fingers just after suggest he won't lose sleep about it

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

Oh well, at least he admitted to diving pretty much.

 

[Chutney]

Still in the play offs.

Jones' Hull performance not a one off.

Barlaser looks ideal for our style.

They cheated and got lucky and they know it.

Infuriating to lose in such a twatty way, but the big picture still looks good.
