NO middsbro have been training as if they are going to wembly [ inside info! from a friend has relative working for Middsbro ]
 
Hull, meanwhile, are unhappy they will have to face different opponents at short notice, with owner Acun Ilicali suggesting the club could take legal action if they lose the final.
Ilicali told Sky Sports he was not happy with the situation, but there was no other option "in order to finish this mess".
When asked, he did not rule out considering legal routes should Hull fail to reach the Premier League.

looking for excuses before playing is rather negative!
should be happy to be playing Middsbro not Soton who have been in blistering form
 
on’t like either team but I want Hull to win
Middlesbrough shouldn’t be in the final
its quite hard to appreciate the outcoome Angelic I would agree.
you could argue that just one part of the " streamed" could have been identified and "stopped" Middsbro maybe getting a goal or how they would intend to line up for their own corner [ Soton ] or free kick and maybe scoring.
however what is the point of having rules and punishment if you do not implement them.
the appeal panel was correct in my opinion........ SOTON based their case on the fact what happened to Leeds, they did not take into consideration the actual rules of the situation which had been amended after the Leeds? fiasco I believe they thought if caught they would be fined £200k+ as was LEEDS?. IT back fired... and I dont believe it was just 3 events.
Closer to the game in training teams tend to know the line up in the hours before the game .... hence 72 hours????
If I was on a jury to give my vote then it would be sorry broke rules admitted more than once and then of course there was the rogue ball boy [ idiot a** wipe ] SOTON should have removed him after the first instance they didnt so condoned his actions..... so guilty and see you next year in the championship with your -4 points
 
A brilliant weekend that was ruined by Dean Windass
It was damaged already by McCoombe being struck down by a mystery illness and Orr getting a fractured skull - right in front of me - horrific and very messy.
Then Windass scored a worldly - he’d never scored a goal like that before or after.
The gods of football just HATE Bristol City.

…. And of course there are some who blame Lee Johnson……….
 
Came through Malaga Airport earlier this week.
Nightmare long queues to get through passport control........apologised 'the machines are working slowly this morning'.
Be warned if you're holidaying in Europe this summer, better off staying home.
 
No manager in place yet someone has decided what our retained list looks like
Only at Bristol City !!
I think all clubs have to submit regardless.

Also it’s a HC we are going for (Tommy Elphic) recruitment and transfers will be dealt with James Ellis going forward. It’s really about getting the HC to follow Ellis’s plan and train the players to play.

Going back to our loss vs Hull City. Deam Windass was the scoring problem but our own players ruined the show turnig our potential into mayhem and ever since that dreadful day we continue the everlasting trend of shooting ourselve in the foot over and over again. Decison making is our worst possible attribute and yet we still haven't got the message because I tend to think Elphick will be our next head coach (not manager) as he will be the cheapest choice and totally controllable by the BIgs.

Here we go again on the roundabout without an exit.

Ellis and Elphic I don’t think are cheap options. One (albeit out of a job) came from Arsenal, the other a premier club. Plus if rumoured Shaun Cooper coming with him, will be one of the best managers in Iraola back up team. Who allowed Elphic to take charge in training and valued his input.
No idea if it will be Elphic will come all the rumours pointing towards him plus bookies suspending betting indicates it’s happening.
Even if happens, next season is rebuilding the squad so don’t expect to be flying, it’s time to be patient.
This is Scudamore and Bosses show now.
