Was it really a good thing that Boro did not win?

[litmanen]

I know that many people totally disagree, but i can't help being really sad about todays results, because the results now mean two things:

1. Brighton can not secure promotion at the last home game against Derby. It would have been so great to secure the long waited promotion in front of 30 000 people at the Amex. Im sure that i am not the only one who has been dreaming that if the promotion happens one day....it will either happen at a sold out Wembley or sold out Amex Stadium. Now it might happen at Riverside Stadium in front of a few hundred Brighton-fans, and the Brighton-fans are even placed so that no cameras are able to record the celebrations if Brighton scores.......we only see Boro-fans behind the goal, no matter in which end the goals will come. Okay, this last thing is not the most important thing in the world, but let's remember that promotion-moment is a moment that we wan't to watch from video even years after...........we want everything to be perfect when the promotion happens. I know that it difficult to wish that Brighton would lose against Boro......but i also know that winning at Wembley would be something totally different than winning at the Riverside Stadium.


2. The second best scenario after Brighton securing promotion home against Derby would have been that Boro would already have secured their promotion before the last game, so that there would not be a need for any pitch invasion at the Riverside Stadium against Brighton, and that only Brighton and Burnley would have been fighting for that second promotion place during the last round......but the 0-0 game against Ipswich now means that Boro can not secure their promotion before the Brighton-game, and that means that all the Brighton-fans who travel to Middlesbrough might have to see Boro making history and Boro-fans making a pitch invasion after the game.

All you who now reply that my points are stupid...........don't go berserk when the Boro pitch invasion happens. I just wanted us to avoid that.....but now it's very close.

Or the Boro lot might have to watch us celebrate promotion. Suggest you grow a pair!!

 

[blockhseagull]

Yes it was a good thing

End of thread

 

[Gazwag]

Boro have blinked first we owe them after the game in December.

Haven't we sold like, 2,500 tickets?

I told people Boro would be the ones to FAIL but nobody listened as USUAL

You do realise we have sold out an allocation of over 2000 for that game

It certainly wasn't a bad thing! , and by the way, do you really mean a few hundred Albion fans at the Riverside, more likely a few thousand !!

Better altogether if we can win on 6th May as that would be a memorable way of 'doing' it !!

 

[Acker79]

On the positive side, it relieves the pressure on us.

We can afford to lose v Derby and still win promotion at Boro. If we win v Derby, we can afford to draw v Boro (and depending on margins, possibly lose against them, too).

 

[Icy Gull]

1/10

There is no set of circumstances that would make a Boro win better than a Boro draw as far as the Albion are concerned.

It all started and ends with Boro.....

Our 1st game of our 21 match unbeaten run on the final day last season (draw) our loss in December (lose) and our............(tba) on the final day...let's hope its a win.

 

[sparkie]

I'll be happy enough dancing round the pub in Brighton spilling beer if we get promotion at Riverside.

There's not really a downside.

I've read some shit on here but this probably tops the lot.

History could be drawing us back to the Northeast for a repeat.....i will take it....i'll happily lick the spilt beer of the floor if we go up.

Surely that's not correct. We can only afford to loose against Derby if others loose too.
