* The Unofficial “Official” Boro v Rotherham Match-Day Thread *

[Alzi]

Greenwood is noticeably putting himself about today. Wants a run out against Chelsea perhaps?

Would be typical Boro. Win over two legs then get disqualified for playing a cup tied player.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

This should be interesting when Clucas and Greenwood come together.

 

[r00fie1]

Good shot by Greenwood.

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

Bunch of absolute cloggers these, all off the ball fouls and diving.

We need to play our football, not get dragged down to their level.

 

[Laughing]

You’re right he is but he can want all he likes but he’s still cup tied!

Very good point - doh!

 

[allied_assault]

We need to start playing football
Playing into Rotherham’s hands here

 

[Teesste]

This should be interesting when Lucas and Greenwood come together.

He shouted see you at half time as he walked off the pitch. They’ve been niggling all game but can’t take it back.. fk em

 

[dooderooni]

Definitely some bad blood out there now. Clucas to concede a penalty and get a red

 

[Kilburn]

I agree it was unnecessary but it wasn't meant and you wouldn't wish ill on the lad like Kilburn did. That's just childish.

Ill? I wished him only what's coming to him. If he was pure of thought and deed, that will mean only good things...

 

[Laughing]

It's very niggly Rotherham can afford that more than we can though.

 

[Alzi]

These are turning into a bit of a bogey team for us. You don’t mind so much if it’s a decent team, but Rotherham ffs.

 

[dooderooni]

Azaz can't half hit a ball. Goalbound effort well blocked there.

 

[Laughing]

For all the game is messy we are playing the much better stuff and look very good in little bursts.

 

[bevoboro]

They are making it niggly rather than us doing anything particularly wrong. When we get the ball away we look great!

 

[Liamo]

I think the reasoning will be that Forss wasn't in control of the ball when he was wiped out which is why no pen.

Whether a player is in control of the ball has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on deciding if a foul has been committed. Even if the ball is at the other end of the pitch when a player is fouled, it's still a foul.

 

[Laughing]

This is only a matter of time. Once we get the first they will have to come out and try and play.

 

[Laughing]

That's a penalty. It'll even itself out over the season though

 

[Norman_Conquest]

That's stupid from Hackney.

 

[Teesste]

I hope someone is pis5ing in the referees tea pot as we speak

 

[sherlock]

Daft booking for Hackney there, needs to be careful now.
