I think if the weather stays as predicted with further snow and no thaw in sight, I can see the police intervening and advising the game be called off. Damn you, beast from the east.

Leadbitter is a doubt for Friday, with a hamstring complaint.

 

We are going to be running out of players at this rate.

 

That's great news.

 

Sigh

Thing is, he's not going to play Howson, he'll play Clayton instead of Grant surely. I'd love that not to be the case but that's how I see that going.

Adama appeal successful!

 

That is a huge shock, but has made me 100% more confident.

*** me sideways, the FA have gone in our favour twice in one season.

Awesome news! Feel way more confident about Friday now. Leeds left back must be gutted

Traore hatrick vs Leeds confirmed

This is brilliant, I'm so freaking happy. Can't wait to see the lad running at Leeds defence.

Would be great to see the reactions on that Sunderland tweet where they roasted him. Anyone have a link for that one?

Unbelievable. The FA have rescinded two red cards since Pulis took over. He must have some pull with them. I can't remember the FA being nice to Boro before

I actually feel like Pulis plays Leadbitter because he takes right footed set pieces and is club captain, would much prefer Howson to be playing... Besic must be a nailed on starter now. Brilliant news about Adama!

I can only think that the club must have had footage from another source that showed Traore pushed the guy in the chest and not the face, as everything I have seen has been inconclusive. Should the defender not now be charged for claiming Traore attacked his face ?

Come on Boro!

 

And stay away snow!

Depends, unless they count it as a dive could they retroactively punish?

if the west riding is inaccessible due to snow drifts and we play the match without Leeds actually turning up, is there a chance we won't concede a late equaliser?
