You just can't make up some of the incredible luck both Burnley and Boro have had, it's just staggering.

That being said 1-1 at half time on the balance of play is probably fair.

If it stays 2 all then that offside could be where their luck changed!
Quite a game this!

Was the offside decision for the final pass? I thought the free kick itself was offside.

Offside!!!!
Dreadful decision - well on-side
Poor Boro

I have sympathy for the linesman on that one, I've run the line before and to look through 3 players to see the distance player is such a tough call, the Boro player in the middle does look a faction off and in the in and out runs of defence and attack, I don't think that is an easy one. A mistake, but I wouldn't call it dreadful.

Fair enough to bang on about the disallowed goal. But then a linesman gifted Boro 2 points at QPR the other week when the ball hadn't gone out before Rangers scored, so that's quits.

I'd call it a brilliant, inspired mistake.

Actually lino was saying he was offside then ran back to an onside position which may be correct. Midds really look like they have a winner in them here to be honest though.
