Thanks again for the opener, Bob. As with everybody who writes these, and the regular match reports, this is truly service beyond the call of duty, an...

Well that lifted the gloom a bit. About time! I think we were lucky and unlucky in equal measure. I’m not convinced it was a red card ( though my brot...

That’s brilliant, Ken. It really shows Boro’s excellent work supporting the local community. I’m so pleased for you. You absolutely deserve the books,...

I’m in agreement with you all that the so-called ‘Super League’ (Spurs??) is a disaster. I want UEFA, FIFA and our own FA to take the strongest possib...

RR - Before I read your posts I put a comment on AV’s Untypical Boro blog to the effect that our crowd will rapidly turn - perhaps after a brief honey...

Thanks for a great opener, OFB. I’ve been to Barnsley 3 times. Lost them all. The most infamous was our 3-2 defeat in 2013, Mogga’s last game i...

It drives me nuts. On at least 5 occasions today we managed to pass it back to Bettinelli from advanced attacking positions, losing all impetus. This ...

Thanks RR. You’ve saved me the trouble of writing something very similar. I also blame NW for a very poor first half selection. A very poor defeat, es...

Love that, Ken! Excellent!

Yes, Paul and Malcolm. I used to think like you. I had thought for a long-time that Maddo was a hopeless commentator. However, I do think he’s improvi...

Come on you Cottagers! Can’t wait to take 6 points off the Geordies next season!

Thanks for that Quest reference, Paul. Sky debated the penalty, of course, but no-one commented about Bidwell kicking through Saville’s foot. It’s ver...

And I seem to recall he ran with his arms waving about like windmills! Or is that another false memory?

Sorry - that should say ‘definitely’ not defensively!

Great opener, RR. Thank you. I’ll settle for a point. On another matter entirely, how sad to hear of Willie Whigham’s death yesterday. He was a...

Here’s my match report:- Boro head the ball up in the air and it’s nodded back by a Coventry defender to another Boro player, who heads it back...

Many thanks for another excellent intro, OFB. I rather think the Cardiff game might be the death knell for our diminishing play-off hopes. As Will ...

Bloody hell. I can’t believe what I’ve just watched. After an outstanding win at Reading, I genuinely hoped we had turned a corner, that we had every ...

By the way, I completely agree with Len on the local Derby commentators. They were dreadful, 200% biased and complained frequently that the ref missed...

An abysmal performance, one of the worst. It took us 86 minutes to get a corner. Apart from Kebano’s goal, we had one shot on target, a long-range pow...

Many thanks OFB for your very interesting opener. I'm useless at predictions, but I do think we might find the Derby game difficult. They’re cl...

Not strictly accurate. He did force Raya into a wonder save, when the keeper touched his shot on to the post. Saville inexcusably missed the easy rebo...

Will the real Boro please stand up? Inconsistency is becoming our standard. After bitterly disappointing home defeats to Blackburn and Rotherham, I co...

I texted my mate who is a PNE season-card holder about Fisher. He said he’s not disappointed to lose him. Indeed, he thinks PNE did well to get £300K ...

No, it’s not just you, OFB. Bettinelli was dreadful tonight, at fault for all 3 goals, and as you say, his kicking and distribution are rubbish. I do ...

I’m a lot concerned about our injury situation right now. Fry’s probably going to miss a couple of games. Dijksteel may have to miss another. The way ...

Probably not an optician, I guess!

A quite brilliant win! We rarely win at the City Ground. I didn’t comment after Saturday as I couldn’t trust myself not to be hyper-critical. But Boro...

I agree about Wingy, Plato. I thought he had a good game. RR commented that he wasn’t very influential, but I thought he did ok, especially as he was ...

I’ve just read through all your comments on the Wycombe game and beyond. Very entertaining, as ever, and very thought-provoking. I enjoyed the win and...
