After the initial 20 minute Boro onslaught, there was only 1 team in it and we were playing against the ref as well. Great victory under all the circumstances and you could see what a shift our players put in. Clearly we were a bit fitter than Boro. The ref lost control of the game too often, allowed too much time wasting, Shirt pulling, Boro players to surround him too often and made some terrible decisions. He missed a possible hand ball penalty for them, but also missed fouls on Leo, Stewart and Larin for us. Boro number 2 made more than a dozen fouls yet didn't get carded til extra time. Same for Ayling - fouling and pushing all night then moaning and surrounding the ref when the decision goes against them. Then to top it all, Ayling pulls the name calling card, WAC. Fully deserved. Created far better chances on the night and it was perhaps going to take something special to win this. 1 more to go lads Rest up, train well and do it all again in 10 days time. |  |
