  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Sunderland
    • Middlesbrough
    • 90+4' That's full-time, and an exciting game ends one apiece. Boro return south to Teesside with a draw, and they will do it again at the Riverside on Wednesday February 8.
    • 90+3' McClean crosses from the left and Bates stoops to make an awkward header clear.
    • 90+2' Sessegnon plays the ball into the box, receives it back and plays it to the left for McClean... he shoots for the near post and ripples the side netting!
    • 90+1' Gardner makes a purposeful run from midfield, but he is crowded out as he prepares to shoot.
    • 90' Four minutes of stoppage time will be played!
    • 89' Boro build down the left and it is played forward to Haroun, but he has strayed just offside.
    • 88' Time running out for either side to find a winner here... Sunderland look the likelier.
    • 86' Larsson's corner is headed away but quickly recycled - but when it comes back in it curls out for a goal kick.
    • 85' McClean gets away down the left, crosses low and Bates hoofs the ball out for a corner!
    • 83' O'Shea plays a long ball into the box, Bates heads away while falling and Campbell is penalised for a foul on the Boro defender.
    • 82' Good composure by Ripley, kicking away under pressure. A big test for the 19-year0old who is the sun of Stuart Ripley. Coyne has his calf taped up with ice.
    • 81' And a change for Sunderland - Jack Colback replaces David Vaughan.
    • 80' Middlesbrough are changing their goalkeeper: Connor Ripley is on for Danny Coyne.
    • 79' Chance for Jutkiewicz, who takes a fateful pause as the ball drops for him, and he is tackled as he tries to pull the trigger.
    • 77' The ball is headed high in the air, Mignolet flaps and Kevin Friend whistles for a foul by Rhys Williams.
    • 76' John O'Shea is sporting a cut head, and he is forced to leave the field before he can play on - Sunderland to defend the corner with 10 men.
    • 75' Robson's cross from the left takes a deflection and Boro have a corner.
    • 74' Jutkiewicz knocks it down to McDonald, who rather dribbles away from goal... still Middlesbrough threaten and finall McClean sticks out a boot and clears.
    • 72' Bardsley crosses from the right towards Campbell, who sends a high, looping header over the bar.
    • 71' Vaughan caught some studs on the ankle and is receiving treatment. That could easily have been a red card for Williams.
    • 70' Yellow card Rhys Williams for flying in on Vaughan... reckless challenge.
    • 68' Emnes and Gardner both lose track of the ball in midfield, and both do a complete spin before spotting it again. Strangely beautiful, in its way.
    • 67' Vaughan hits a deflected shot that loops up and Coyne makes an acrobatic save, even though it was going wide.
    • 66' McClean pings it into the box from the left and this time its Boro's chance to make a flying clearance.
    • 65' CHANCE FOR EMNES!! He thrashes a shot over from the edge of the box. Needed to keep his head over the ball.
    • 64' A really good spell of pressure from Middlesbrough, who are camped out in the Sunderland box.
    • 63' Good block Bardsley! Williams hits a powerful shot and the Sunderland defender puts his body on the line!
    • 61' Campbell threatens again as Sessgnon plays a through ball to him... but this time it is put out for a corner.
    • 60' Sunderland change: Michael Turner on for Wes Brown.
    • 59' GOAL!! FRAIZER CAMPBELL FOR SUNDERLAND!! What a return for the striker! In his first game for 18 months, he finds the net! Robson gives the ball away horribly, McClean races clear and squares for Campbell, who sidefoots coolly past Coyne.
    • 58' Finally, Brown limps off the pitch. I think he wants to play on, but he look fairly beaten up.
    • 57' Brown is still receiving treatment. He looks basically OK, but I don't know if he'll be OK to continue.
    • 55' Wes Brown leaps for a header with Emnes and lands very awkwardly - right onto his shoulder, though the defender appears to have a problem with his leg.
    • 54' Sunderland need a spark here - they are not really carving Boro open and the visitors are defending in a really organised fashion here.
    • 53' Haroun strides into the Sunderland half and finds James McMahon, who appears to be fouled by McClean but the referee says no foul!
    • 51' ...Robson curls it left-footed but it is always swinging wide of the right-hand post.
    • 50' Boro win a free-kick 28 yards out, Barry Robson to take...
    • 49' Middlesbrough win a corner on the left side, much pushing and shoving in the box... half-cleared, played back into Emnes and the Dutchman volleys wide.
    • 48' Sunderland win a free-kick 35 yards out. Craig Gardner tries a Ronaldo-style strike, but sends it high and wide.
    • 47' This is Campbell's first appearance since returning from long-term injury - he has not played since 29 August 2010. Good to see him back.
    • 46' Game on! Back under way at the Stadium of Light!
    • 46' Sunderland change: Fraizer Campbell on for Connor Wickham.
    • - During half time, for the love of god please check out the tennis. It's now the longest Grand Slam final in history. Djokovic v Nadal: LIVE
    • 45+3' That's half-time - a really entertaining game, and Boro lead 1-0 thanks to Robson's superb volley.
    • 45+2' Williams fouls in the centre circle and Larsson lumps it long... headed clear.
    • 45+1' Kieran Richardson has been booked for a foul on Emnes, after which referee Friend played advantage.
    • 45+1' Two minutes of added time to be played.
    • 45' Now Emnes is down with an injury...
    • 44' What a chance for Sunderland! Jutkiewicz's first shot is parried, the ball comes back to him and he muffs the shot, sidefooting wide!
    • 43' Aggro here as Hoyte goes flying in, and there's a bit of pushig and shoving. Yellow card Hoyte - nasty challenge on Sessegnon. Could easily have been a red. His studs made contact with the Sunderland man's ankles.
    • 41' Back into the Boro area, where Coyne reacts well to punch it away with Wickham lurking.
    • 40' ...the goal was disallowed for an offside against Wickham who was deemed to be interfering. The striker didn't touch the ball, but Gardner DID handball in the build-up. Correct decision in the end, but for the wrong reason.
    • 39' GOAL DISALLOWED! Craig Gardner finishes superbly off the post but there is an offside flag up... there is some debate and the ref goes for a conflab with the linesman...
    • 38' Good spell of possession for the home side, but can they level up before the break.
    • 36' Rhys Williams has a bloody mouth after an accidental collision with McClean. No intent at all.
    • 35' Larsson swings it in for Wickham who heads over, and there is a Boro defender down..
    • 34' Sunderland win a free-kick 40 yards out... plenty forward and Larsson will take it.
    • 33' There is a certain amount of anxiety among the Sunderland fans. They are playing OK, but Boro have the lead and are fighting like dervishes.
    • 31' Really inetersting first half-hour. Both sides with chances, but Boto shading it thanks to that Robson cracker.
    • 30' Sunderland are looking to get Sessegnon more involved, but he is being given absolutely no time on the ball.
    • 29' Larsson whips it into a great area with tremendous pace, but nobody can make proper contact with it.
    • 28' Haroun puts the ball behind and Sunderland have a corner...
    • 27' Good battle from Boro, who are throwing themselves in midfield and giving Sunderland a right working over.
    • 25' Sunderland win a corner as Richardson's low cross is put behind by Robson.
    • 24' McClean again! This time he gets on the end of a cross from the right, but his header is more or less straight at Coyne.
    • 23' McClean cuts inside from the left and strikes a powerful low shot that Coyne blocks!
    • 22' Lukas Jutkiewicz tries to manhandle his way past Bardsley, who does well to hold off the Boro player's challenge.
    • 21' Craig Gardner has scored a couple of belting goals recently, so you can forgive him for taking on an ambitious volley - but this one goes harmlessly over.
    • 19' Lukas Jutkiewicz pulls the ball back from the right for Emnes, who cannot get his shot away from under his feet.
    • 18' A small amount of aggro by the touchline as Kieran Richardson tangles with an opponent by standing over him and not moving. Silly stuff.
    • 17' Absolutely fantastic strike by Barry Robson to give Boro the lead against the run of play. Now Emnes tries a long shot but gets it all wrong...
    • 16' GOAL!! Barry Robson with a stunner for Middlesbrough! A hits a beautiful low left-foot volley from the edge of the box and it flashes past Mignolet, giving the goalkeeper no chance!
    • 15' Seb Larsson has a word in Vaughan's ear before the Welshman tries to catch Coyne out with a sneaky shot... just over! It rippled the top of the net, which momentarily got a few fans excited.
    • 14' Now Sunderland have a free-kick a yard outside the box on the right - Vaughan to take.
    • 13' The corner comes in and Hines's headed clearance hits his own man Haroun and ricochets over the bar!
    • 12' Good work from McClean down the Sunderland left, and he wins a corner.
    • 11' Better spell from Sunderland here - starting to get on the ball and attack with purpose.
    • 10' Sessegnon is allowed to run, beats Robson and clips a head-high cross in from the right... Gardner heads wide!
    • 8' Boro do not have too many players with Premier League experience - Justin Hoyte one of the few household names. However, they are acquitting themselves much better in the Championship than the all-star team put together.
    • 7' McClean runs at McMahon and stops, claiming he has been impeded. Referee Kevin Friend says no foul, and I think he's right.
    • 6' Wickham flicks the ball on for Sessegnon who has strayed marginally offside.
    • 5' Really, what are you doing here? You ought to be following the tennis. Djokovic v Nadal LIVE - it's a classic
    • 4' It's a fast, physical start here. Good tempo as you would expect of a match between regional rivals.
    • 3' Scott McDonald hits a long shot that dips and bounces just in front of Mignolet, but the Sunderland keeper clings on.
    • 2' Thank you @Kit_Gray - "The music at the Stadium of Light - Dance of the Knights - Romeo & Juliet - Prokofiev" You have restored my faith in civilisation.
    • 1' Off we go! It's game on at the Stadium of Light! It's not full, but we have a raucous atmosphere for this lunchtime kick-off.
    • 13:27 And optimistic @s147case tweets: "£100 on sunderland at 8/15 its like printing money... 3-0 for me" Well, good luck with that...
    • 13:25 The teams come out of the tunnel to what, shamefully, I can only refer to as 'The Apprentice Music'. Can someone enlighten me as to what it is actually called, please? I am a philistine - @alexchick81
    • 13:20 Martin O'Neill talked earlier this week about the decline of the FA Cup. Frankly, though, this is the competition teams like Sunderland should make a priority given league success is such a distant dream for them. O'Neill retains affection for Cup
    • 13:15 My name's Alex Chick, and this is the third FA Cup tie of my weekend. Feel free to get in touch with me on Twitter - @alexchick81 - or join the rabble on the comments board below. Follow me on Twitter
    • 13:10 I'm rather taken by the official team sheet print out - managers Mr. Martin O'Neill and Mr. Tony Mowbray. Pleasingly formal. Official team sheet
    • 13:10 Lee Cattermole is out today with a hamstring injury - the Sunderland skipper will be gutted not to face his former club.
    • 13:05 Boro have progressed to the next round on the last four occasions they have reached the fourth round.
    • 13:00 Sunderland have won only five of their last 11 FA Cup games against sides from a lower division.
    • 12:55 Sunderland and Middlesbrough have been drawn together four times in the FA Cup. Sunderland have progressed twice, Middlesbrough once on the result and once because the Wearsiders were disqualified.

  1. It's pointless for maggies to make comments on here­ because they are all tick bar-steds ha ha ha

    Was McClean made man of the match for the deliberate­ back head butt on Williams?
    I don't see how the­ above commentator arrived at the verdict of "no­ Intent".
    He Knew exactly what he was doing.
    The­ rest of the match he was snapping at the opposition­ like a mad dog.
    Typical O'Neill style of player.

    From Mike, on Mon 30 Jan 8:08PM

  3. I thought sunderland were out of sorts. didn't ­ pass well complitelely uncoordinated. didn't have­ a leader all round poor performance. However after­ saying all that Sunderland has the ability to outwit­ boro next time out by doing the same as them stop them­ playing and pass and close down with more­ determination.and precision. come on you black cats­ give um hell.

    From Kent, on Mon 30 Jan 7:32PM

  4. David, I don't think your club would turn down an­ offer of £35 mill for an average player would they? He­ was worth £10 - £15 at best.

    From Cards Fan, on Mon 30 Jan 5:07PM

  5. Watched The Game Boro were Terrific Defended well and­ Had a good game ,Fully Deserved the Draw n Replay

    From Craig, on Sun 29 Jan 11:06PM

  6. How the 4-ck does Emnes get 7.2 he was shyte !!! Boro­ got in our faces and took us to their level, dirty­ tw**ts as well, we were poor, where was Cattermole when­ the kicking was to be done ?
    Blobby, dry your 4-kin­ eyes, we are still in the cup unlike you dummies!!!­
    Always look on the Brighton side of life !! Ha Ha !!

    From Joseph, on Sun 29 Jan 11:05PM

  7. Ian,87, bigger crowd,better atmosphere , nah , I doubt­ if the Boro will get more than 33,000 at their place,­ then again if they did it would be more than the 30,000­ the great mags support v Blackburn !!

  8. Gillingham 87...that is all

  9. To jonny and the rest of the skunk rabble on this site­ I just have two things to say to you, STEVENAGE AND­ BRIGHTON and HOVE ALBION, HA HA HA HA. I can't stop­ laughing, I had to go to the hospital last night, the­ nurse told me to get in line with all the others who­ had split their sides laughing at the skunks­ yesterday.
    Is it true(you say you know all about the­ skunks), did Mobray tell the skunks to stay away from­ footy fields Sunday afternoon because the Black Bull­ team are looking to kick someone around after they have­ had a skinfull. HA HA HA HO HO HO, OMG I CAN'T STOP­ LAUGHING.

    From Alans, on Sun 29 Jan 4:58PM

  10. Brighton 1-0 Liverpool Feeder Club

    Newcastle do all­ the hard work in producing a young player and sell him­ to Liverpool
    McDermott, Kennedy, Beardsley
    The list­ goes on and on.....

    From David, on Sun 29 Jan 4:46PM

  11. I don't understand why they can't just scrap­ replays, cause so much scheduling issues, are­ incredibly tiresome on the clubs, and really just a­ waste of time

    Just go to extra time and penalties if­ its even after 90 the first time out.

    From G, on Sun 29 Jan 4:43PM

  12. Brighton beat Scumcassel !!!
    HA HA HA FTM

  15. Jonny-what bitter,ungracious words you bring to the­ board ,obviously in light of the lamentable display­ shown by your own team. I shall be keeping my eye on­ you ;)

    Hard lines Boro, by far the better side. They should­ have had a hat full and Sunderlands equaliser was­ against the run of play and more as a result of an­ error by Boro than from their ability.
    Improve the­ finishing and Boro should see off Sunderland without­ much difficulty!!!

    From JONNY, on Sun 29 Jan 3:36PM

  17. Great , hard fought derby 1-1 a fair result but credit­ to Boro.

    From julian, on Sun 29 Jan 3:30PM

  18. Tony Mowbray's got a massive monkey's heid­ (head) - that's what the Hearts fans used to sing­ when he was manager at HIbs.

    From robert, on Sun 29 Jan 3:29PM

  19. Disputed / Non allowed goals to be subject of fourth­ official viewing the video there and then . Otherwise­ Premier / Cup games a farce.
