Neil Warnock, hang your head in shame. You got it totally *** wrong yesterday and I'm still annoyed, we could have easily won that if you'd just done what every Boro fan could see needed doing at half time. Sorry, but that's not a point gained in my eyes yesterday, that was 2 points lost. Oh and Britt can *** off forever, I never want to see that useless, lazy, arrogant *** in a Boro shirt ever again! I actually thought Boro played a fair bit of decent football, stroking it around on the deck for periods. True, the final ball was almost always a high cross, which the Cardiff defence mostly dealt with very comfortably, but its worth noting our equaliser also came from another lofted ball into the box. But after that we did resort to some truly horrendous hoofball. How the hell we ever expected to make anything happen with the ball spending most of the time in the air, I'll never know.

Old Codger 3,039 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Out of curiosity, anyone think that the Pack "handball" would have been given if it was against Man U 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites

From my viewing, it hit him in his chest and didn't touch either arm, even United couldn't get a VAR decision to ignore that. Link to post Share on other sites

He's not been thrilling so far, but he's already looked more like doing something than Ravel Morrison ever did. He's also had a consistently decent career, whilst Morrison has done nothing in 10 years. He has been crap for us although he's clearly had a better career than Morrison. If Spence, Coulson, Johnson played like he has for us so far then nobody would be giving him them time of day. He shouldn't be anywhere near the team at this moment in time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They finished below us last season but only miracle worker Warnock could have turned Boro around. Probably say something similar about the Reading and Stoke managers as well. But anyway, Warnock and crap football is all that we can possibly aspire to. Link to post Share on other sites

Which is a shame, because he's ignoring a huge pool of fine managers beyond the usual merry-go-round of Bruce/Pulis/Warnock/Allardyce et al. Like it or not, our managerial future involves either a hoofball veteran or an unqualified rookie, both with an English accent. We just have to hope someone - either Warnock or his replacement - can add some enjoyment to the endless hoofing and hoping. Now you're making me wish for an oil tycoon to come in and buy Gibson out.
