Boro game tonight

[Sam]

amazing game that one best european semi final in ages! Screw the idea of them being 1-0 tight games!

Excellent result though and I'm really hoping that boro can win it now.

[Scott McFly]

Wow, what a great game! Been a long time since I've seen a game that exciting at that level - well done to Steve McLaren and the whole Boro team, hope they win the whole thing, they really deserve it.

[hugobomb]

Bloody hell! Boro don't so things by halves do they? They deserve to win the cup now just on entertainment value

[DFF]

What a fecking amazinf game!

My Dad said earlier that Maccarone is shit, and then he went and scored two goals, cracking.

[fineintent]

Oh my god. What are the chances of that happening again?

When are the highlights, my skybox wasn't picking up the signal for ITV4.

Great result, awesome game, the only trouble is I'm not going to hear the end of this for the next week.

Outstanding stuff. Middlesborough are a brilliant team to watch right now. Like they said themselves, they've done it the hard way twice now, but it's been breath taking stuff. I knew it was possible but towards the end it just felt so unlikely again, then up pops Maccarone. He's underated if you ask me. Not brilliant but he's been a key player for them this season. Still Boateng continues to impress me about as much as anyone right now. The guy has been awesome lately.

They've got to do it now, cant see why they wont. They've got tonnes of goal scorers and when the final comes I'm hoping they just totally go for it, in which case I can see them doing it. Deserving of it too. Hopefully that fan who threw his ticket at McLaren a few months back was watching tonight

Maccarone has been better for them this season, but apart from when he first came, he has no way looked/justified how much they paid for him. He is thier record signing, after all.

And the season ticket fan was given his season ticket back by the chairman.

EDIT: For anyone who didn't see, Sevilla went through in the other semi.

Does JP over-rated everyone? Boeteng I'll give you, but Maccarone has been far from a 'key' player. For one, he's barely played. When he has, he's largely been played on the right. Viduka (as of late), Hasslebaink and Yakubu have had far more of an impact, with Cattermole, Southgate and Rochemback also looking impressive.

I'm living with a Boro fan next year, I'm not just weird.

Maccarone's an awful player, people just think he's brilliant because he's popped up with two last minute winners. He did have a good game yesterday though.

as an italian i was pleased when we'd signed Maccarone, but the guys done nothing in England, i've said time and tiem again hoqwever, sending us through to the Semies (and now Finals) withthe winning goals has earned his 8.12m fee, but i dont think his actually plaing style has lived upto that yet, and i wouldnt be surprised if he left to go back to Italy again.
