Libertine Posted 27 April 2006 Posted 27 April 2006 YESSSS!!!! BRILLIANT! Can't believe it! I'm ecstatic! Maccarone = Legend!
NFFC Chris Posted 27 April 2006 Posted 27 April 2006 Well when Middlesborough scored their first goal I had a feeling they would do it,is there not a scoreline Middlesborough aren't capable of coming back from?
Muz Posted 27 April 2006 Posted 27 April 2006 Well when Middlesborough scored their first goal I had a feeling they would do it,is there not a scoreline Middlesborough aren't capable of coming back from? I can remember being at the Riverside when they scored 2 in stoppage time to draw 3-3 with us Maccarone and a Curtis own goal
NFFC Chris Posted 27 April 2006 Posted 27 April 2006 I can remember being at the Riverside when they scored 2 in stoppage time to draw 3-3 with us Maccarone and a Curtis own goal Well none of that from John at Forest thankfully
Manwell Pablo Posted 27 April 2006 Posted 27 April 2006 Well none of that from John at Forest thankfully Thats becaus he's found his level, as have forest.
Anish Posted 27 April 2006 Posted 27 April 2006 Fooking fantastic, what a game!! I was proved wrong, I am over the moon for Boro though! You couldn't write a better script if you tried, this was the stuff of legends. People will remember theis European adventure for decades, it really is that unbelievable. Maccorone does it again!!
MC Prussian Posted 27 April 2006 Posted 27 April 2006 Couldn't believe it when I came home and saw the scoreline. Well, after doubting the rightfulness of Middlesborough's efforts against Basel, where the "miracle" looked a bit like cheating, I now support them a 100 percent so that they bring that Cup back where it belongs... To the island, and not to Sevilla! Hope Schalke gets ousted tonight, German clubs no longer deserve to win any big competitions for a long, long time any more... :mrgreen:
Nationwider Posted 27 April 2006 Posted 27 April 2006 I blagged a ticket and went to the match tonight - only the second time I've been to the Riverside. Some pics of Boro fans holding cards up, and after the winning goal... It was a great game and despite some bizarre tactics as usual by McClaren, Boro deserved to win, but Steaua really threw it away by playing far too negatively at 3-0agg when just normal possession football would have seen them through. The one thing Boro have is lots of attacking options - Steaua just stood back and let Boro throw the kitchen sink at them. There wasn't much wrong about the night for me. Good match, electric atmosphere, success for an English team, even the ref had a stormer and really did well to keep on top of the time wasting. There was a bizarre incident where at Steaua fan ran on the pitch after the first goal, and appeared to have a heart attack. We were guessing he might be trying to avoid getting arrested, but it looked pretty serious. One other thing - outside after the match, there were literally hundreds of Boro and Steaua fans shaking hands, applauding each other and swapping scarves and shirts. 'Twas good to see.
Benji Posted 27 April 2006 Posted 27 April 2006 Best attacking football i've seen since in ages, tops the basel achievement imo, brillliant to watch credit to them and hitting out at their 'boring' reputation
Ultra Posted 27 April 2006 Posted 27 April 2006 Congratulations to Boro on another incredible comeback. And to think it wasn't that long ago that some of their fans were whingeing about the "boring" season they were having. I'm sure there are millions of us who would gladly swap our season for theirs!
Phube Posted 28 April 2006 Posted 28 April 2006 Well I must say, for entertainment value, it pisses all over the Champions League Semi's that's for sure!!! C'mon 'Boro!!
City_4_Life Posted 28 April 2006 Posted 28 April 2006 Well done to them, and i hope they go on and win it now.
Guest seanfox778 Posted 28 April 2006 Posted 28 April 2006 yeah congrats to boro they deserved it what a great game its good to maccarone too, he wasn't exactly a crowd favourite before the basle game it was great to see him go to all the fans at the end
