That should read “identify” as. Autocorrect is another pet hate but I should have read before posting.
Yes, an impressive performance by Yorkshire Ken. They do, however, seem to mirror Boro’s trait of inconsistency. “Typical Yorkshire”. The one thing ...
@redcarred I was South Bank born and bred. TheIrish Catholic element was the previous generation. My mother’s best friends in Slaggy Island were a ...
As John says, this is a great and thoughtful thread. Probably because we’re all extremely “mature” age wise it proves the old adage that wisdom comes ...
@redcarred It will, no doubt, be a recurring theme. The old familiar story of losing out on our targets.
@redcarred Werdermouth beat me to it! It still rankles with me but it was another one of the endless “typical Boro” moments. Although still a read...
Looking forward to seeing how Watmore performs. The short term contract represents a low risk and probably reflects the current financial reality plus...
@k-p-in-spain Thanks for your good wishes and best wishes to your better half. At just turned 71, this is my first experience with proper ill heal...
@original-fat-bob and Ken Just catching up with the blog after a few days absence. I, too, was in A&E at JCUH on Sunday to resolve an unpleasant...
Plato/GHW “square pegging” seems to be a weakness in all of our recent Managers or do they see something the fans don’t understand? I’m undecided ...
Forgot to add that, like all fans, I want to see exciting football but that doesn’t mean goals at all cost. I think back to the 0-0 game against Bourn...
Interesting reading NW’s comments about modern defenders. I totally agree. Too many soft goals and free kicks in dangerous areas result from playing ...
@borophil Don’t want to turn this into a saga. I stated that I was a long-standing Labour supporter and my criticism referred to their performance l...
@borophil I would accept your argument were it not for the fact that I saw nothing during the 13 years that Labour were in power. The calls for an...
RR and GHW I have to own up to helping to vote in our first Conservative MP for Redcar and Cleveland. I’m no fan of Boris but Corbyn was never...
@original-fat-bob I also noticed that Leo seemed to be missing. Is he a COVID victim or has NW eased him out?
I “pledged to renew” and, like Clive, got lucky(?) in the ballot, a high probability when you subsequently discover only 2500 did so. I felt I was ...
Can’t disagree with any of that really. As I said last week, we don’t have full backs who can defend and we don’t have a left footed CB, so neither ...
I have to agree with KP’s thoughts on defence. NW declared that he wanted defenders who can defend. Logical really. If the defence do their job a la B...
As a descendant of Irish Catholic immigrants, I can confirm that the Mining Community in Eston were a hostile bunch. South Bank, therefore, became t...
Sorry if I’ve upset any genuine consultants. My cynicism is borne out of experience of the many charlatans used in the Steel industry to tell us where...
Can’t add anything new to what others have posted. I expected a “typical Boro” performance so, in that respect, I wasn’t surprised. just one observa...
Haven’t quite got used to this new format, so I’m whistling in the dark a bit. I thought I’d posted something yesterday but it disappeared into the et...
