  2. 'Deja vu' for Morris as Boro fall short again

    Morris: 'It feels like deja vu'

    Aidan Morris says there was a sense of "deja vu" as Middlesbrough let slip another chance of promotion through their grasp.

    Boro became the first side to lose in both the semi-final and final of the Championship play-offs after their agonising loss to Hull City in injury time at Wembley.

    They were granted the opportunity after Southampton were kicked out following the Spygate scandal, but the Teessiders were left stunned by Oli McBurnie's late goal.

    "It feels like deja vu from 10 days ago," the midfielder told BBC Radio Tees.

    "It's disappointing. We're not going to be victims. We could have done more. As a collective, we weren't good enough and that's it."

    Boro were only reinstated into the final on Tuesday evening after Saints' expulsion, but Morris refused to offer the short and unusual preparation as an excuse for the result.

    He added: "Obviously, it's a bit different from normal football situations. But we should have been better."

    Hartlepool United have agreed a new one-year deal with forward Luke Charman, with the club having the option of a further 12 months until the summer of 2028.

    Charman, 28, has scored seven goals in 66 games for Pools since joining from Fylde in 2024.

    He is the first player tied to a new deal under Hartlepool's new head coach Lee Clark.

  24. Gillett to referee Hull City v Boro play-off final

    The referee for Saturday's Championship play-off final between Hull City and Middlesbrough will be Jared Gillett.

    The Australian is usually a Premier League official but his one Championship game this season was Boro's crucial match at Ipswich on 19 April, when the fight for the top two was in full swing.

    The visitors were leading 2-1 when Town were awarded a controversial penalty for a tug on George Hirst in the area four minutes from time, allowing Jack Clarke to salvage a point which helped the Tractor Boys finish second, four points above Boro.

    Four Boro players were booked in 39-year-old Gillett's total of six cautions on the day.

    One thing which will be different this time around is that the video assistant referee (VAR) will be in use at Wembley, whereas it was not at Portman Road.

    In last year's final, VAR intervened to chalk off a goal which would have put Sheffield United 2-0 up against Sunderland before the Black Cats came back to snatch a last-gasp 2-1 win.
