Downsouth 6,328 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Can I give a massive thank you for everyone who has contributed to the thread and especially last night! We had over 250+ semi active viewers on line and over 70 signed in members during most of the game. The post count probably would have been a lot higher had the forum not imploded which was a pity as it took away some of the excitement in the last crazy minutes and I have asked rob if anything can be done to stop this from happening again. Well done again to CBB for his continuing run he certainly goes into the record books! Oh and if anyone predicted the correct score and first Boro scorer please let me know though I guess the timing was not anticipated (in the event of a tie) Actually I do not think we have a winner for the Brucie bonus but if so please refer to original post number Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 For anyone who has any niggling doubts about last night's game, just think "Would I have taken a scrappy 1-0 before kick off?" Then replace 1-0 with 2-1 :D Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,870 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Or just tell yourself that we scored 3 goals and Blackpool scored none... Link to post Share on other sites
ham_chop 36 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Good to see a classic Cellnet shirt in the crowd last night, I might dig mine out - might be a bit on the tight side - and that shirt we won promotion in! :) Link to post Share on other sites
Naughty Boy 18 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 There was only one disappointment from last night and that was the injury to Ayala, Hopefully he is ok and the players were instructed before the game if you have any niggles on that pitch come straight off its not worth the risk... We won all 3 points and that's what matters.. It was always going to be a scrappy game, We showed versatility and that is a plus.. UTB. Link to post Share on other sites
Sarumite 86 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I predicted a 2-0 with Woody scoring the second.. Close but no cigar.. Thought Bamford would have come off the bench after a poor first half and get one after 63 mins At least I got our number of goals right and one of our scorers Link to post Share on other sites
Nics 8 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I blame Karanka for not giving me the chance of becoming an oracle. I predicted Bamford to get a hattrick. Damn you Mr. K Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,328 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 We have now passed last seasons total of wins, what a difference Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggie_be 1 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I had a strong feeling yesterday we had to win this match while listening to Boro + (for obvious reasons). 0-0 I cannot listen anymore, I cut Boro + , but can't help myself to log in again and listen. I had miss Woodgate goal. Then the own goal! I cut Boro +. Again I log in and I missed Kike goal. Huge win. UTB! Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 265 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Must admit the longer the game went on the less likely I could see us winning, thought typical Boro, chance to go top and blow it. BUT that's the old Boro, welcome the new Boro, fight to the end, win when not playing well, tough, hard working with no half measure of skill. Shouldn't have doubted but did - Karanka is a master tactitian, roll on Birmingham (***nal is just a game in the way for me), lets get some of the Sky monies and make Boro one of the top 30 richest clubs in World football.

jamesp 125 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Just back from the game, poor performance but our most important win of the season IMO. Pitch made it like a sunday league game, no picture can do justice for how bad it actually was, feel sorry for any Blackpool fan having to watch that football every week. Looked solid throughout just struggled to create anything. Was so pleased to see Woodgate score. Cant really fault anyone apart from Reach who was really poor tonight. Also are those who were massively criticising Kike a few weeks ago feeling pretty daft yet? Quality yet again tonight Do you feel daft for criticising Tomlin? Happy we won. Dont remember criticising Tomlin he made a huge difference last night too, great to see him in this sort of form Link to post Share on other sites
DonnySmog 9 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Excellent win under the circumstances. The pitch is one hell of a leveler and was never gone allow us to get any real control of the game and make this an easy match. Add to that Blackpool are fighting for their lives and we made several changes, then this was brilliant win and indeed had real potential to be a banana skin. So please Kike got his goal he has deserved it, he has worked his socks off, got in good positions but his luck wasn't with him and also it got Gibson out of the **** Link to post Share on other sites
