I have just spent part of the afternoon reading Martin's (wonderful) Match Preview and the posts, including whimsical ones (take a bow, Powmill) sent ...
@Powmill - I'm not going to suggest a definitive number of games for it, but I think it is way too early to give a verdict on our new goalie. I haven'...
@stircrazy - Sorry! Yes, wrongly addressed by me!
@stircrazy - How about YouTube, or the Boro website?
@martin-bellamy - I think it counts as a "different phase of play" after the ball comes off a defender.
@jarkko - The weather forecast has been grim all day so I was genuinely surprised to have been able to walk in the dry from my car to the match and ba...
@boro-beckys-dad - He did!
@stircrazy - The applause for the Police officers who died on duty (according to the news, their car was struck in Grangetown by a VW Passat which had...
A win today. Any win - not too bothered about the score as long as it involves more goals scored by Boro than conceded. I'd take a 1-0 or 2-1 (which...
I have not yet read about it or listened online, but I understand Pukstas has flown in to Teesside (talks/medical/signing?), although he played for Ha...
Very interesting posts, WERDER and ANDY R. We were having a discussion at the Battered Badger on Wednesday about how much input Kim Hellberg has as re...
ANDY R - That was a masterly introduction to the WBA game and I very much enjoyed reading it. Let's hope BORO can show as much talent on Saturday. A...
@jarkko - I saw/heard that link to the possible signing on YouTube. I think one thing we can be sure of is that this player, even if he is REALLY goo...
Well, Kim Hellberg seemed content in his post-match interview. No injuries (unless I missed something), another goal by Sarmiento which means he has s...
@pedro - That is very kind of you! I will have a chat with Son-snd-Heir later. No point stressing about it as I have not ACTUALLY missed a game yet. ...
@johnny-canuck - I suppose so! Although the other idea is just to check more carefully, as each game approaches, whether the kick-off time has been m...
As had been commented, 3-1 away from home to almost any league team is a decent result. A pity about the late goal conceded, which took away the clean...
@pedro - I think l I could do that on my laptop but not on my android mobile phone. When I'm away in the caravan I will always have my mobile phone wi...
And in typing that, I may have missed the Donny-match kick-off....
@stircrazy - Thanks for that crashing revelation! It's in my diary as a 3pm kick-off. I might very well have picked up the time-change before Saturda...
@stircrazy - Despite suggestions on the internet/interweb that Strelec may be on his way to PAOK Athens....
One thing I heard (for example a "short" by "Bonkers for Boro" before the Blackburn game) is that David Strelec has agreed personal terms to join PAOK...
@chris-from-barlby - One thing my visit tells me loud and clear is that Bishop Auckland is no cultural desert!
@pedro - Seconded! The Twelve Sons of Jacob (actually a few are missing, being conserved and/or on loan to the British Museum until next year I think)...
Thanks for the kind comments, friends. I have spent the day with Mrs Dorno in Bishop Auckland, and I'm amazed to say I don't think we've been there...
@pedro - I certainly think the team needs to win the game. It should be possible to do that with several fringe players in the team but it would also ...
@billog72 Welcome back, @Billog72
"Disappointed from Dormanstown" writes to indicate his dismay at today's result at Blackburn. Thousands of fans were present to watch their team with ...
@werdermouth - That (Blackburn for over-achievers this season) is a very decent shout. I wish I'd suggested that in my COTS predictions, although it w...
