The first goal.
JEROME YESSSS #OTBC

That was horrendous defending from Ayala, lost the ball and just stood and watched Jerome

Cameron Jerome had time to survey the situation, draft a detailed map and file an extensive memo on the best options available.

How was Cameron Jerome given so much space in the Boro penalty area? For all their defensive qualities, onus on Boro's flair players now..

The second goal.
GOAL: Whittaker's lovely ball plays in Redmond and he makes no mistake to put @NorwichCityFC 2-0 up at #Wembley within 15mins! #PlayOffFinal

The half time thoughts.
Boro could do with a Delia Smith style inspirational half time team talk.

I can’t speak let alone tweet. This 45 minutes wil be the slowest ever. #OTBC #COYY
— Stephen Fry (@stephenfry) May 25, 2015
*No surprise that Delia started trending.
Back to the match.
Yes Boro keep crossing it in, it hasn't worked the first 78 times it might work next time tho lads

58 mins – Boro finally create their first real chance of the game as Tomlin picks out Bamford, but his shot on the turn is saved #Boro #NCFC

Future Premier League rivals having their say.
Has anyone seen any Boro fans? Last seen bragging before kick off about how they were gonna take 6 points off of Sunderland next season
— Jack (@jacklemore123) May 25, 2015
Excellent, Norwich is a much, much easier away trip than M'boro
— Aitch (@HowardTHFC) May 25, 2015
Optimism from the Boro fans.
This last half an hour is gonna be unreal, get kike up top with bamford now!!!
— Adam Revuelta (@Revvi44) May 25, 2015
#BoroLive Swapping Kike for Bamford isn't enough. We need to fill that gap.
— ChilliRed (@ChilliRed) May 25, 2015
…and (some) Patrick Bamford fans.
I still believe that Patrick Bamford will play in the @premierleague next season even if #MiddlesbroughFC failed to win #PlayOffFinal !
