@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...
Good one, Jarkko. I felt for you as I read about the rushed journey to the Dark Side of the Pennines and the gloomy wet football-free time you had on ...
Same again would be very good, Si. First league game of the season and THREE points banked. Seven points ahead of Southampton as I type this and two...
As had been said by others (and my mate who sits in the seat next to me at The Riverside) that really was the proverbial game of two halves. In the ...
@johnny-canuck - I agree, JC. I am at one with Neil Warnock that Djed Spence's initial attitude wasn't right. Whether it was thinking about Warnock'...
@mw-in-darwin - Good work, MW.
@k-p-in-spain - Did that article say how much Boro would get? When I open these things I tend to get a "paywall". Looks like a decent haul from Hayd...
Well done, Werder, on the Match Preview. A good read! I know league first game performances by promoted teams often confound initial expectations an...
@k-p-in-spain - I shall wait until nearer the time the Doncaster Carabao Cup match is expected to be played, but I will do a Match Preview after the ...
@andy-r _ I have read your message and written down the fixtures until the end of November. The rest of the season's fixtures can wait... You have ...
@jarkko - Thanks for mentioning the Lincoln game, Jarkko. Although I am here, it is obvious I am not fully up to speed yet. That is clear because, h...
Forever Dormo is ALIVE! I really love the Blog but we only have 4 days to start the season! Rumours of my expiration are false news, although my re...
Well hello, again, Playmates, after a self-imposed silence from me! I'd had enough of football, was on "holiday" for 9 nights in Corbridge when the w...
A disappointing result but not entirely unexpected. If you have lots of possession but few real chances are made, you will struggle to win games. Did...
@mw-in-darwin - Hull would have taken the EFL to court, not Boro. Boro doesn't make the rules or make the decisions.
