UEFA Cup - Basle v Boro *SPOILERS*

[fozzybear]

Basle 2-0 at half time with goals in the 43rd and 45th minutes. Boro had done ok until the first goal. What the hell was Doriva laughing and joking about when walking off the pitch at half time? I hate to see that.

Does anyone know what the commentator was talking about when he apologised for a banner behind the goal. He also said it had been taken down.

Looks like there could be a bit of trouble amongst the Boro supporters.

Weve just seen pictures of Swiss police carrying the biggest guns i've ever seen!

That looks really nasty after a clash of heads with a Basle player.

Pogatetz...wth? I actually thought he was having a fit on the pitch. Looks like a possible broken nose.

Full time - Basle 2-0 Boro.

I can't see Boro keeping Basle out at The Riverside so Boro will therefore need to score at least 4 goals. That isn't going to happen.

Pogatetz has been confirmed as having a badly broken nose.

Has anyone found out what the banner said behind the goal? It must have been fairly offensive for C5 to ask for it to be taken down.

I thought it was a fit too, but I'm not sure. He certainly isn't having much lucky with facial injuries at the moment.

It's worse than first thought.

Suspected fractured skull as well as the broken nose!

Fair play to Middlesbrough. I do want them to win it even though that would proably mean McClaren would get the England job.
