Comments:
Alex Rae was shown a second yellow and so sent-off after 89 minutes but this later rescinded on appeal. Input amendment [07.08.2012]: Removed substitution of Mark Clyde for Lee Naylor after 85 minutes. Input amendment [20.10.2012]: Reinstated substitution of Mark Clyde for Lee Naylor, as advised by Gordon Cox c/o Middlesbrough's official web site.
