What is the reason for WS changing things around? Did he give into fan pressure or just saw that the team may need a freshen up? Whatever the reason he may have changed the formation but he also changed the personel and got that wrong. If he put the correct players in with the changed line up we still well have taken 3 pts away. But Whittaker is not a midfielder and Dailly is far from his best at RB. With having so much defensive players (especially on the wide position) it invites the opposition to attack us. In saying that the point about never say die attitude is spot on. We would have left Tannadice with nothing in this was still Pre-Walter Part2. As for Thursday, Im pretty worried about it. I find it hard to understand how fans can boo after what we have achieved thus far but I still share there sense of frustration that we had to take the home leg by the scrub of the neck and win the tie. The away leg is going to be tough IMO.

Is this the same as the english league when votes are done in January?? Very very silly. Weir and McGregor have easily been better than 3. Frank McAvennie's love child has had about 4 good games producing a few silky skills but has done nothing else.

Well picked up, you must have realised I put "Given a chance" on purpose

Its always nice to have players with a desire to be at the club. Boyd for me is a sub at best but a good player to have on the bench when we are looking for a goal. However if someone came in with a few million for him id bite there hand off.

Id be happy for him to return and given a chance.

Thats a mental wee bounce even though the Well fans are out of tune.

Shame for Barnsley, but they have won 2 cup finals this year already by putting Liverpool and Chelsea out. then they get rewarded with a further pay day at Wembley yesterday so they cant complain. I hope Cardiff give Portsmouth a game. If they get Fowler and Jimmy Floyd to give amazing fitness recoveries then who knows! But Id like to see Harry win the cup. At the start of the season you'd take a Pompey winning the cup just to see Man Utd Liverpool not winning it. But with Cardiff there aswell you want the underdog. Its a good cup final where it will be good to see whoever wins it.

I think he has timed this. Strachan is under big pressure and the celtic fans are on Riordans side. I can understand his frustration. I dont agree with public slatings either unless they have been behind closed doors for a long time and nothing gets resolved, which in Riordans situation HAS to be the case. I can imagine Gow and Buffel thinking the same about WS.

Boro are a decent team when they play the better teams, i think its their style of play. If they played like that every week they would be a top 8 side. Arsenal must be spewing again, they would have been back in it with just 1 more win out of there terrible run in the last 7 games. But and big but, if they win at Old Trafford they will have a half chance. But Chelsea have to be thinking they can seriously win it now. The only problem is goal difference essentially giving Man U another point as they are way ahead. Chelsea have to go to Everton when Man Utd go to Blackburn so that will be an interesting weekend.

Im annoyed. I was going to put a double on the coupon with 2 draws - Boro v Man Utd and Dundee Utd v Gers - typical!!

The draw puts Chelsea right in the title hunt.

Mike Riley is a disgrace. Boro get ruled for offside (never) then he gives man u a free kick in the midfield which was never a foul and Man Utd get a goal out if it.

And Alves does it again 2-1 to Boro

1-1 Alves Go on the Boro

Both Gio and Mols start today for them

1-0 to Man Utd already - Ronaldo yet again. 37 for the season now. Unstopable.

Aye he was close to getting the whip, although it would have been Jon doing the whipping

Nice wee booster for him

It would appear that way but if Middlesboro get something today then Chelsea are right in it.

I fancied Motherwell to get a draw but a 1-0 is magic! It takes a wee bit of pressure of us on Sunday now which can only be a good thing.

Aye ok Mr Craig! I'll do a detention now

Fuckin is too!!! Simon Lappin 33 mins

Im actually hoping for Cardiff, i think they would give pompey a better game. Although I hope the winner of this tie wins the cup. I Still think if Cardiff can play in this comp then the OF can.

Fud! And where was your preview :uzi: Sacked for sure this time!!! :uzi:

Has Boab scored????
