@jarkko. Yes you do have to have a seasonal pass but you can take the monthly subscription option and then cancel before it renews.
It means, however, that the cost to watch the match is £20. Won’t be telling Mrs P how much it is costing! 😉😎
Re: the Celtic match on Saturday.
....
Secondly, is anyone planning to do a preview for the Ibrox match? Just thinking out loud ...
Up the Boro!
You want to be careful there Jarkko, not to upset the hooped side of Glasgow. Ibrox is where the team in blue play. Celtic Park is what they call the home of Celtic.
@powmillnaemore Sorry for my typo. I have never been to Glasgow yet. I should have checked - just wrote what I thought was right.
I have been to Edinburgh a few times. And I have also seen Hibs and Hearts playing on their home grounds respectably. I love E'boro, as said, I have been there a couple of times on holiday and a few times on business.
Perhaps I need to go to Glasgow. Last year I tried to get tickets to the last match of the Scottish season, but the match was between the Glagow giants. So no go for me and my customer to see any footy after a visit to our Dumfries factory ...
Up the Boro!
Just looking at our current senior signed players, we currently have 25 as Castledine, Munro and Mccormick have all turned 21 since January. Law Mcabe is still under 21 so doesn't count. So we will need to lose a number before we can sign anymore. I did include Hamilton in the 25 and I would think that we might even cancel his contract. The question is who will want any of them.
Just a reminder if anyone wants to splash out and watch the game tomorrow:

@original-fat-bob. Thanks for the update OFB. Sorry to hear that the weather has been having a detrimental impact. Hopefully the proposed solution will not be too far away. Best wishes. 😎
OFB, I'm so sorry about your ongoing problems and I sincerely hope that your Cardiologist and his Team fix you up. I have no doubt that you and your family feel just the same! The heat affects me too but in an infinitely trivial way than your condition.
Get well soon and keep us posted, I miss your posts from the cave.
ATB,
UTB,
John
Watford are working on a deal to sign Martin Payero 😱.
Come on BORO.

Very best wishes
👊UTB and up OFB
Very best of luck, Bob. Really sorry to hear of your further complications. I hope they get it sorted for you very soon. We all hope to hear from you on here again when you’re feeling better.
@original-fat-bob All the best, Robin. I hope you are back to the Riverside for a very exciting new season. But first concentrate to your personal pre-season to get fit and runn7ng. I trust your doctors will do their best.
Up the Boro!
Just spotted on the MFC website you can buy a match pass for today’s game for £3! 😎
@original-fat-bob Good luck with everything - thank goodness for the NHS at times like these. Fingers crossed for your recovery. 🤞🏻
That info was not there this morning! I have checked the BoroLive links every day since Monday.Just spotted on the MFC website you can buy a match pass for today’s game for £3! 😎
I am a bit upset as I paid £ 20 to Celtic to watch the same match. Oh, why cannot they inform about the possibility 24 hours before? I would have liked to pay Boro rather than Celtic.
Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing Boro in action. Pity that Morris is not in the squad.
Aidan Morris, Sontje Hansen, Alex Bangura, Finley Munroe, George Edmundson are all ill. Boro have had an illness go through the camp before this game, which is why they're all absent.
Does anyone know about teenage centre-back Jack Daley, who will start today at CB?
Up the Boro!
@jarkko. I also paid £20 to watch but have emailed Celtic to say I have changed my mind and requested a refund as it is within the 14 day cooling off period. They have agreed to refund me as I have not used the facility.
I am watching via Riverside Live. Sorry Jarkko I couldn’t advise you earlier. The club only posted on the MFC website at 14:00 hours and I picked it up 40 mins later and posted on here. 😎
@k-p-in-spain No problem. I had already loggen in when I saw your note.
I am blaiming the Boro officials. Not well informed, me thinks.
1-1 at half time - Strelec. Centre-back Jack Daley has played very well, indeed.
Up the Boro!
@jarkko “I am blaiming the Boro officials. Not well informed, me thinks.”
Totally agree, poor communication by MFC.
At least we know the game against Espanyol is to be streamed as the match commentator mentioned it. 😎
Chelsea have agreed a fee of £117m for Morgan Rogers 💸 💸 💸
Just back from holiday and season not far away now - guess I’ve got a lot of catching up to do 🤔
btw Just read that Chelsea have agreed a fee of £117m for Morgan Rogers - not bad for Boro’s 20% sell-on fee !!
If I am correct at 20% means we get £23,00,400.
Come on BORO.
Just read on BBC that the sell-on clause is 20% of any ‘profit’ Villa made rather than fee so Boro will get £20.4m - apparently the highest English sell-on fee ever!
A bit about Jack Daley when he signed last year
https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/2025/july/25/jack-daley-joins-club/
Researching the current estimates of the club's wage bill, the highestI have seen quoted is 23 million pounds, so if nothing else the Rogers sell on bonus would cover most of that along with the Djed Spence England bonus. Also another ex player at the World Cup from the BBC
The England players have handed a bronze medal to Brighton keeper Jason Steele who's been at the training camp despite not being in the squad.
Latest transfer rumours I have heard are:
Will Lankshear on loan with an option to buy
Chelsea GK Filip Jorgensen details not known
Munroe to Blackpool on loan
McCormick to be sold later in the window
Targett to Hull
Come on BORO.
Watched the Celtic “ friendly kick about” game and what was immediately obvious was our long standing inability to hold the ball up in the final third. We have not had anyone since Chuba, and the new players brought in to date are not capable.
Physical strength is also still in short supply. However as much as Boro had lots of players missing and I do not know sufficient about Celtic and their players, we did OK.
Notes. I would keep Borges, if only because of his ability to play LB or LCB. The young lad daly did well, which asks the question about Haley Hunt. None of the other youngsters impressed really, though the changes throughout the second half did not help.
What was also evident is that Sarmiento is looking like 3 million wasted.
Also we have to remember that the money from Hackney and Roger’s is going to be paid over a number of years. We need good Championship experienced players in. It was not pleasing to hear Hellberg say, that the injured players, may/could be ready in a few weeks.
Why sign an injured player when we already have Conway and Jones. ☹️☹️
@original-fat-bob have you tried Beetjuice (natural), magnesium, bananas, lots of natural ingredients, pills sometimes just change numbers , not long term, just an a thought , good luck
