That card for smith is ridiculous, have we upset the ref?

It must have been for the follow through.

How many times this season have we said we played well and didn’t get what we deserve .. hopefully our luck is about to change!

 

[Andy_W]

Aaaaaand breatheee!

 

[Scrug]

Get in!

 

[h_m_boro]

Phhhheeeeeeewwwwwwwwww

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Well, that half was very poor by us.

 

[Cuthbert]

.

This is looking like two midtable teams (at best) slugging it out.

Phew. Thank goodness Sunderland are crap too!

 

[locomansimon]

Phew !

 

[sweet_left_foot]

not a convincing result but a result nonetheless

 

[joeydiaz]

Yesssss

 

[Chris_Boro]

Geeeet iiiiiin!

 

[Laughing]

I may be alone here but I thought it was a good professional display given we had no fresh legs for midfield.

 

[locomansimon]

Terrible second half !

 

[Teesste]

Now we know how to win ugly! UTFB

 

[Laughing]

We never looked like conceding

 

[borolad259]

It'll be OK.

 

[Fat_Dragon]

Not a classic but the result was the most important thing tonight.
