Stripey McStripe Shirt

Whatever happens can we all just agree to refer to Middlesbrough as 'Brough' or 'Borough' in future (rather than Boro), as that seems to be one of the things that upsets them more than Spygate.

Don't worry, they've updated it now. With a different pic of him in a Sunderland shirt.

Weirdly the Beeb lead the story with a pic of him from a few years ago in a Sunderland shirt. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c4g94rpvx73o

Further footage of Will Salt has just been released. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRtuDAjo/

Whatever happens can we all just agree that Juninho was over rated?

I think we'll be starting next season in the National League on about -10 points and Tonda and the team banned from football. Probably also stadium ban and transfer embargo. Really struggling to see any other outcome. Sorry, been snooping on the Boro forums too much.

They really are a sensitive bunch.

Impenetrable.

But weird putting in Fry, who's bottled header cost them the game.

The same colours Boro wear?! We're buggered.

Better than standing behind it, I guess.

There's barely time for the final to be rearranged, let alone the semi as well.

I guess the question I have about the bit in bold is, are the play-offs really part of the league. Or legally speaking are they are completely different entity as a knock out competition? I assume the former? I which case, I agree with the rest of it... If the latter, then I guess there's a higher risk of getting kicked out. Still highly unlikely and massively disproportionate to the "crime" (imo) but if it happens there would, and should, be no benefit to Boro in terms of being reinstated. The only logical outcome of that is for Hull be promoted by default. Obviously the EFL will be keen to avoid that though because of money from the final.

Given the north east is so stuck in the past, is this where they finally have an edge on us?

Gibbo's time of the month?
