    Attacks on and criticism of referees, how about we lead by example?

    There are mistakes, and then there are mistakes. Awarding a throw-in the wrong way, or making the wrong decision on a marginal offside? Fair enough. But... Dean Whitestone failing to even award a foul when Dael nearly lost an eye? Gavin Ward disallowing Bola's goal against Swansea for...

    Springsteen

    Seen him several times in the UK and probably would've been able to see him again on this tour, but I'm currently in the US and Ticketmaster didn't give me the slightest chance with their dynamic pricing fiasco. Would've had to pay several hundred dollars even for one of the worst seats in the...

    They're truly, truly excellent. Have seen them in the UK and US, and would highly recommend it!

    Artists you love but who don't fit your usual musical profile

    Love Vulfpeck, but can't be doing with any of their peers in the hipster funk/soul world.

    Pre-season training camp/matches

    I'm 4000 miles away and have Chelsea and Sunderland both coming to town over the summer! But would rather **** in my hands and clap than go to watch either of them.

    goalkeeper next season

    Would be nice to have some consistency. Since relegation the only keeper who's hung around in the first team for more than one season is Randolph. During that time we've had single seasons from Bettinelli, Pears, Lumley and Steffen, plus several keepers who've been signed as backups and hardly...

    How long does the disappointment last?

    I'm basically over our exit from the play-offs, but feeling quite jealous of the two clubs in the final and their fans. It must feel great to know you've done a good job and seen off one of your rivals instead of succumbing at the first hurdle. Boro's failures always hurt, but accepting them is...

    Sheff Wed v Posh

    Imagine being a Peterborough fan heading to the match earlier tonight - and then feeling like they must feel now.

    Steffen not coming up for corner in last seconds

    Yeah, what would've been the point of having an extra body in the box? Would much rather lose a knockout game 1-0 than 2-0. That would just be embarrassing.

    Atmosphere tonight was so disappointing

    Reflected the performance on the pitch perfectly, then.

    He lost the ability to pass the ball as well. For the last few games all he's done upon receiving the ball is put his head down and try to slalom his way through the entire opposing team. Good if it comes off, but it never does. Admittedly this tactic wins us a lot of FKs, but then we generally...

    * The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Coventry Semi-Final 2nd leg. Match Day Thread *

    Watching the second half of Luton vs Sunderland last night as Sunderland constantly but feebly tried to attack, I had a horrible premonition it would go the same way for us. It really doesn't feel good watching your team in that position.

    Two of the worst crosses I've ever seen in my life in the dying moments.

    Yeah, I didn't understand that at all. Talk about setting yourself up.

    Finally the keeper has a yellow, which means he can now do whatever he wants, because no ref would ever have the balls to give a second.

    Why do refs think they're not allowed to book anyone for timewasting until the 85th minute?

    You're right. Have we been first to a single ball we've put into their box?

    Would be good if the ref cared at all about timewasting as well.

    This is so dispiriting. We started brightly but our possession has led to absolutely nothing. And we haven't had one single fortuitous bounce of the ball anywhere near their box.
