[Albion] Drawing the Boro line

[Hugo Rune]

I'm trying to prepare for the FA rejecting the red card appeal (and most likely increasing the ban). This is going to make me very angry and upset so I'm just trying to accept that Dale will be banned till sometime next season. Hopefully, by the time they announce the decision, I'll be at peace.

Bloody hell chaps. Move on. We all need to be positive now.

A wise state of mind I think.

I suspect we will get disappointing news from the appeal today.... So let's get that out of the way and then look forward.

Besides unless mike dean apologies, personally offers to ref the next 3 games outrageously in our favour, or is unmasked as Bryan Robson in a baldy wig causing boro to be deducted 3 points then I can't see anything changing how I feel about last Saturday

 

[Arkwright]

Greer was really slow

Greer may not be blessed with pace but he has the experience, try to be positive.

 

[Sam Ovett]

Never expected the FA to have the integrity to admit they ****ed up.

Goes from the FA weakening us v Boro to weakening us v Boro and the entire play off run. Livid

100%

Apart from the FA decision pending on Stephen this is out of my mind

Focus on the Owls now

We have to assume the worst for all the reasons we have knocked about, none of which relate to doing the right thing.

We should have a campaign for justice (led by you, by the way). Everyone on NSC should email Sky Sports asking for their opinion, get it talked about so that the FA/FL can't simply ignore the truth.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It doesn't help when we have idiots in our own local rag, reporting that we lost the match 1-0.

The club will have to reach the Premier League and its potential £290 million riches the hard way after the 1-0 loss to Middlesbrough in the automatic promotion decider.

 

[Bozza]

What's changed

Here we go, what have you heard?

Doesn't sound good ( unless Dean has admitted his mistake ).

Have they kicked us out of the play-offs for not having enough former Premier League players that Premier League refs want to be mates with?

Sorry, nothing.

As The Verve once sang: the drugs don't work, they just make it worse.

The drug, last night, was beer.

 

[MattBackHome]

Bleat bleat whine whine etc.

Get over it and move on. Moaning won't help anyone achieve anything, ever. The season is not done yet.

 

[Diego Napier]

Greer was really slow

And........When has he ever been quick?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Steady player for me, but badly off the pace Saturday, not match fit. However, the communication was much better.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Have we all regressed to being children? For the last week this place has been overrun with dramarama threads, posts, reactions befitting OMG teenagers, Bozza the worst of the lot. Grow up ffs.

 

[Official Old Man]

Move on time, nothing to see here.
But on the other hand, we are the best team in the play-offs by a long way. We went to a ground 300 miles away and in front of 30,000 screaming home fans we drew with the promoted club. We have a manager capable of pulling the players back from all this. No worries, end of.

 

[Machiavelli]

Greer may not be blessed with pace but he has the experience, try to be positive.

He didn't provide much to hang that particular coat on, on Saturday.

 

[Surf's Up]

I'm finding that line difficult to draw. Didn't sleep well on Saturday night despite having consumed an absurd amount of alcohol, ditto last night (no alcohol) - keep thinking about that Stephens sending off and what might have been.

 

[halbpro]

I'd accepted the appeal wouldn't succeed before the coach pulled away from the Riverside. The FA only overturns something like 0.4% of challenges, although those figures are from 2011-12 so may be a bit better now.

 

[mona]

What has made me bitter is Ramirez's behaviour; going to ground so easily, knocking a card out of the ref's hand and getting away with it, getting Stephens sent off to foul up our play off chances and then the ridiculously theatrical taking of oxygen for an ugly but minor wound.

Don't begrudge Boro their deserved promotion but if a player is owed a serious injury it is Ramirez.

Thats a little unfair. Anyone who takes a load of abuse when leaving a football ground with their kids is entitled to be a bit put out. I was lucky enough to encounter no such problems. Some of the comments about Dean and Ramirez are over the top though. The ref was weak and the player was trying to gain advantage. Bruno was waving an imaginary yellow card after an earlier challenge and I have no problem with that or with Ramirez. Its football and sometimes decisions go your way and sometimes not.
