Best wishes, Bob. We are all rooting for you, thinking of you and hoping you will be back soon.
Many thanks Len

OFB
OFB,
Please get yourself sorted out soon but the big question is who's looking after the Marton Oracle's cave and pool while you are enjoying the delights of James Cook? Toast and marmalade, Gandalf will be jealous. Seriously, look after yourself in there and keep those lovely nurses on their toes.
All the best,
UTB,
John
It’s. A male nurse !!?
He's been brilliant i was no 5 on the doctors rounds list and he changed my no to first on the list because we were talking about the Boro. !
Although the cave is empty the Oracle says Boro 3 Oxford 0 !
Looks like Mrs OFB will be going to see the Boro with one of her sisters on my ticket !

@original-fat-bob Keep smiling, Bob - we need that red, red, Robin; bob, bob bobbin’ along.
Hackney had an instant impact when he opened the scoring to claim his first goal for England U21s, with Lee Carsley's side running out 4-2 winners over Portugal. Samuel Iling-Junior was also involved from the start for the Young Lions in their impressive display at the Hawthorns.
I just hope they all come back without injuries. We will miss OFB already for the Oxford match on Saturday. We cannot afford more ilnesses or injuries, next.

Up the Boro!
@original-fat-bob. Just picked up on your concerning news. Hope you will soon be feeling much better soon and quickly sorted to allow you home and back at the Riverside when you feel well enough. Best wishes. 😎
Regarding the entry for OFB, my thoughts are to take the average of everyone’s entry as his predictions, that way everyone has an input into his Part 2 entry, “all for one and one for all” so to speak.
If there is no objection, that’s what I will do on Friday, I am sure he will be back for Part 3 👍.
Come on BORO.
@exmil - Great idea!
@jarkko - My mate and I will keep an eye on the MFC website and between us (if it is possible, with the number of tickets made available etc) and we will try to sort out the Wednesday tickets for you and Eija.
@OFB - WholeHEARTedly thinking of you. Best of Luck.
@original-fat-bob Sorry to read that you're in hospital, Bob. Best wishes on a speedy recovery - everyone here will be rooting for you.
@exmil - good idea.
@forever-dormo Cheers, I will also keep my eyes open for the date. Let's see the situation at the turn of the month at the latest. Up the Boro!
We still have international players at the club eventhough McGree is injured.
Looking forward to the next match after gaining 2.0 points from the last five matches.

Up the Boro!
Spring has very definitely sprung in North Yorkshire - the sun is shining from a blue sky, 13C in the shade but in the sun it is warmer, 0% chance of rain, 11mph gentle south-westerly breeze...
Of course we are currently on what most of us still call Greenwich Mean Time so the sun rose today at 5.54am and will set at 6.29pm. But it will all be different on Sunday as we move to British Summer Time (sunlight saving time) when the mornings will be darker but the evenings lighter for longer (sunrise then at 6.43am and sunset at 7.37pm). And in the summer we will almost be eskimoes/inuit with very short nights, and December will seem so very long ago. You've got to love the seasons, haven't you?
Perhaps of more direct relevance to Boro, the discussion at "The Poisoned Parrot" tonight will turn to the major issue of the moment. "Do we renew our season tickets, bearing in mind the 2nd April Early Bird Deadline?"
OFB, sorry to hear you're unwell and hope they can sort you out soon and hope you'll soon be fit for the excitement of the run in - though you're of course excused to just walk-in instead 😉

it makes for a strange relationship with time in Australia. As time moves forward in the UK, it goes back in Oz so that we are suddenly two hours nearer to each other, putting Oz only nine hours ahead instead of 11. Try explaining that one.
UTB
@selwynoz We are just two hours ahead of the UK. Luckily we change to the summer time the same day as the UK, so the Saturdays' matches start at the same time all year round.
We will get temperatures of twelve degrees on Saturday. No snow anymore but the nights are still cold. Today it was-5 degrees when I woke up. But the sun is shining and it will be + 7 by midday.
But no leaves in the trees for a month, though. Up the Boro!
jarkko, yours is the only outstanding entry for Part 2 of the challenge 😱.
Come on BORO.
I just caught up with Sir Gareth Southgate giving the Richard Dimbleby Lecture. I thought he did a pretty impressive job. He also referenced being sacked by the Boro as his most significant learning experience in management (missing that penalty being his most significant playing experience).
@OFB
Sorry to hear you’re in hospital, Bob. I hope you’re soon fit and well again so you can get back to cheering on the Boro!
THAT'S IT! I have renewed my Season Ticket for the 2025/26 season just a few minutes ago. Not only for me but also for my mate who sits next to me. When I went to the page to renew, it already had his details on it and the website assumed or asked me if I was buying for both so, after confirming with him by message, I agreed. I must have bought tickets for him before (I know he has for me) and I can only assume that MFC considers us "Family & Friends". Next month's Barclaycard will sting a little!
At least I am safe in the knowledge that I will have another 14 months or so to moan about the Boro.
@forever-dormo On behalf of those of us exiled from Teesside, many thanks for supporting MFC. Without Season Ticket holders, the Club would be in a much worse financial position. Let’s hope you get value for money…
Hi All
Home again thanks for all the best wishes it’s greatly appreciated and nice to be back!
OFB
The Doctor at the hospital said not to have any excitement so I may got to the match on Saturday!
OFB
@original-fat-bob Great news. Stay safe, ofb.
well said Martin. You are quite right and I add my thanks to those too, including my kid brother living just out of Leeds.@forever-dormo On behalf of those of us exiled from Teesside, many thanks for supporting MFC.

@original-fat-bob welcome home. Make sure you heed your consultant's advice.
