Hull v Boro

Boro kept the spying under wraps to see how their tie went,,,,once they gotbeat they went into action,,,,,,,C/MON HULL,,,,

They reported it, which was why Southampton players and
fans were making binocular gestures to mock boro
when they thought they had won by cheating.

Almost as if you've been asleep for a week or so.

Surely Boro after getting beat wont play safe  and just go for it.Sheffield utd made fatal error of sitting back after going one up

Boro looked as if they were lacking stamina when they played Saints, add to the record of 0/5 wins at Wembley and its a no brainer.

Well now that they thought they were out might be different ,mind hull do have few players that are more accurate kicking a football.

Hull City owner Acun Ilicali has vowed to take legal action if the Tigers do not win Saturday's Championship play-off final against Middlesbrough.

Boro lost to Southampton in the semi-final - but were reinstated after Saints admitted to spying on the Teessiders' training session and were expelled from the competition.

"Our legal team says that we have to go for action, that's for sure," Ilicali told BBC Radio Humberside outside Wembley Stadium before kick-off in the final.

"So we have no doubt about it. Here, all we want is justice. If justice is broken, nobody will enjoy football."

Ilicali described the decision to allow Middlesbrough to re-enter the play-offs as "unbelievable".

He said: "If this action was so big that a team is out of the play-offs, why didn't they let them not play the semi-final, investigate and take Southampton out and put Wrexham in?

"Why is Wrexham out now? Put Wrexham in and continue the competition.

"For me, an eliminated team {being] put back - also our lawyers say this and that's their opinion too - is an incredibly wrong decision."

The 56-year-old, who took over Hull City in 2022, said he did not want to discuss the outcome of the EFL's independent disciplinary commission's hearing before the day of the final to avoid distracting the players.

"Now I can talk a little more because now the boys are in the stadium and they will not hear me. I didn't want to make their focus disturbed," he added.

"Decisions are discussable from what I understand from our lawyers, very discussable.

"But of course we have to focus on the game and the boys are tough enough to overcome these difficulties."

Just heard from a Southampton staff member that Boro will be lining up in a 4-2-3-1 shape for the playoff final today

Paddy power

Another rubbish wembley final

Hull are lucky they not playing other way otherwise they be knackered now.

Why dont they just have a game of football instead of fooookin about

Boro can only blame themselves if they lose playing walking football

It's very exciting. We could have Boro and Arsenal in the same division next season. Can't wait.

Its painful watching this its so slow .why do they want to play another half hour of walking football

Boro are playing with 10 men, the 11 Whitterker is one of the worst players I’ve ever seen!

How the manager can’t see that I’ll never know?

How the Chairman hasn’t pulled the manager and told him, the same!

He does a great job of avoiding the ball, in the match against Southampton it was also his lack of commitment in the tackle that let the Subts Score.

*saints score

Neither team got the legs for xtra time

Both teams need a shot on target between now and 90 mins

Know there lot riding on this game
But it’s been proper ****
But big part got be heat surly
World walking cup incoming

Ita all over

Let’s see if that lazy 11 can run a yard in anger at going 1 down?!

Manager is a mug, 10 men against a team that’s knackered!

1-0 the jocks thats not on the plane scores..

Boro are crazy playing like that got what they deserved

Ffs QPR beat them home and away,but fair play they get their season in the top flight.

Good Luck

Last kick of the game and he kicks it wide ffs cant kick a ball none of them

Well done Hull.

Hull will finish bottom of the Premier League next season

Karma the Boro Southampton match will be interesting next season Boro will never get a better opportunity they must be ****.

'Hull will finish bottom of the Premier League next season'


they will field an entirely different 11

And,they will still be relegated.
Absolute cart horses

Was going to be a bad day for Away fans either way having to travel to Hull or Middlesbrough.

Another disgusting match. Terrible advertisement for "the beautiful game".

And did that horrible plank of wood really need to take his shirt off? The yellow card is no deterrent so we therefore must make it a red card offence. That'll stop them.

they will field an entirely different 11
