We had no reason to expect that performance or result despite a number of "foam handed" predictions which were posted shortly before kick-off. Hard to...
Thanks to you all, Gentlemen (& Eija), for the kind thoughts. Very much appreciated. There is a very palpable sense of relief at Dormo Towers. ...
Mrs Dormo's health situation after her three operations this year, following the appointment yesterday to review the situation as a result of tests an...
@jarkko - I must say that Mrs Dormo, her father (he was a dentist and studied anatomy at St Andrews with the other medics before they all branched ou...
@peter-surtees - My memory for names and faces (which in truth was never that good) must be getting worse. If Ryan Giles walked into the "Smacked Pony...
@selwynoz - You have nothing at all to feel intimidated about. That was a very thought-provoking Starter for Ten. Maybe the thing to feel intimida...
I think, speaking generally, the way the Diasboro Blog works is just about right. I agree the point made by Powmill above, in the last paragraph of h...
@stircrazy - I think I might keep my predictions to myself. Less embarassing that way... I mean, it's not only Boro, but the Cricket World Cup, the...
@stircrazy - Sadly, it WAS too late for Boro to score the winner.
4-2 final result for Boro?
If it isn't going well after 45 minutes, why wait until after 60 minutes (or later) to put things right? It gives less time for your changes to take e...
My post of 12.46hrs today. Many apologies, everybody. When I said I hoped we'd score 3 because I couldn't see Plymouth scoring 3 today, I should hav...
@k-p-in-spain - I was trying to be fair to MC and I don't put it all down to him. Whilst McGree and his PF is the one I mentioned (because it is the ...
@original-fat-bob - I'd like your second sight, OFB. I'd be very happy with 3 away goals because I can't see us conceding three. An away win by any s...
@martin-bellamy - I wasn't, but I've worked it out, although it was at the bottom of my list of priorities.
@lenmasterman - The Duchess of Argyll! Now there was a Lady (some would say). I remember her case being referred to in my undergraduate Law Degree. ...
@powmillnaemore and @clive-hurren - Me, too, for those cardboard league tables with the coloured tabs to go up and down depending on each week's resu...
@stircrazy - Same for both teams though.
@exmil and @Powmill-Naemore - Looks like I was wrong about the lucrative Wembley Semi-Final against one of the Premier League Big Boys, then. Home a...
@jarkko - Good point! Both teams drew their preferred opponent for the QF. Both teams will be pleased with that. But both teams will realise there ...
@Powmill-Naemore - I really enjoyed reading that Starter piece, the stats and the club's name and shirt colours over the years. I doubt anyone has ev...
@werdermouth - I knew the partners in a Teesside-based news agency (though I am talking of more than 30 years ago here). The 2 main writers would fre...
@powmillnaemore - Not a share of the 75K gate money at Old Trafford or the 55K gate money at SJP...? That nice little chunk might easily go towards a...
Job done but hardly craftsmen at work. Does that sound harsh?
Phew! Penalty (Lath) 2-3 with 6 minutes to go.
Boro GK Glover un-nerved? Nearly ran the ball into his own net (according to Maddo on BBCTees).
What's the chance Boro will put in a bid for Trevett...? 2-2.
Turned around in a few minutes with goals from Rodgers + Silvera. EEEK!
Not Boro's best First Half there, against the weakest team, in its worst form, that Boro is likely to meet all season.
Not going according to the script, so far. Wildschutt as an Exeter substitute? He'll probably play a blinder....
