There has been a LOAD of posts on here since I starting to type my above post one-fingered! Speed of typing/texting is not my forte.
That was a worthwhile way to spend an afternoon. Very crowded around the stadium and crowded inside where there must have been only a handful of empty...
@Selwyn - Your starter piece was a great read. I have always thought that the explosive growth of Middlesbrough as a town and an industrial giant was ...
Gutted to have drawn the match, and also to have conceded two goals (again!) when ahead. These.are games that Champions win. I'm not sure I can ta...
Great opener, Chris. Thanks. Great first half last-gasp goal (per BBC Tees). Top of the league at HT as it stands. Fingers crossed!
I will go back to read what other posters have said later about the Millwall game. For me: at half-time I asked myself "would you gamble on winning ...
Excellent stuff, Si. Glad to have you back doing what you are good at! Thanks for the starter piece. If anyone thinks of a quintessential second ...
Thanks, Powmill for the Match Preview. Sorry not to have contributed earlier and I haven't (yet) read any posts other than the Preview so I have come ...
@martin-bellamy Enjoy your holiday!
An away win! Thank goodness. I can start breathing again. It's not easy listening on headphones as Mrs Dormo is doing other things, and when peopl...
This is tense!
Come on, Boro!
It's "Bandemonium" where I am, on the southern slope of the North York Moors (in Cropton) and in Ryedale. Brass bands are delivered by a coach to vari...
I have now read the intervening posts. Thank you, Len!
@jarkko and CLIVE HURREN - Thanks for the Match Preview, Clive. I am with you on the apostrophe. We'll get people called Bill next, who insist their n...
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. ...
