@martin-bellamy - Yes.
@martin-bellamy - I don't believe HH would shrug his shoulders and just move on if (as seems likely) Boro should fail to achieve promotion this season...
@mw-in-darwin - I suppose the requirement to renew STs by a very early "Early Bird" date is to: (1). Get people to renew before the final outcome of t...
As to Early Bird ST sales if last year it was 17,000 - I had been talking to a mate about this. I suggested that recent results will have knocked seve...
Football is (1) a sport and (2) an entertainment. On the walk to the stadium yesterday I was telling my mate how I was coming to the view that foot...
Information I heard a couple of days ago is that Boro had agreed a package to bring Paddy Bamford back to Boro (so I guess that was planned before he ...
That was grim. Poor performance even if a few chances were spurned. The final nail of an injury time goal conceded was hardly a surprise. The team m...
@peter-surtees - Great post.
Thanks @AndyR for that nautical Opener and for your post earlier this morning. It would be good to get the wind into Boro's sails again before it is, ...
Boro's play for the last couple of months has been more or less the same each game. Lots of possession. Lots of shots (not necessarily from clear oppo...
@steely - Nice to hear from you, Steely.
THAT, Martin was a masterpiece. Loved reading it and I will repeat the exercise later. I wouldn't want to repeat the experience and disappointment of ...
If promotion were to be achieved NEXT season rather than this, after a failure to go up this time around, I think it would be (1) much harder than to ...
@martin-bellamy - I very much enjoyed the paper you linked to your last post. An interesting short read. Maybe the feats of our heroes at Boro (or oth...
That was NOT a good performance. It was partly good. The Curate's egg looked good on its plate from a distance but on approach it was clear it had a s...
I agree. The Press Conference didn't fill me with confidence. I will be very nervous tomorrow at the match. I wish the team and the manager/coach well...
So, will it be Boro 2nd XI versus Millwall tomorrow? I listened to Kim Hellberg during his Presser this afternoon. I wasn't hanging on his every word ...
ANDY - Thanks for the Match Preview which has done its best to get me thinking of Boro again. I have been taking some time to think about other thing...
@original-fat-bob - I had a fear that your prediction about HH may prove to be true. If it does happen that way, then Boro will have some thinking to...
Thanks for those pieces, Bob. The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there... But it makes you smile to read about it.
@simonfallaha - I so much hope you are right, Si. I'd LOVE a summer break where I can bask in the joy of a successful 2025-26 campaign, and I can get ...
@mw-in-darwin - I remember spending a day at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester - not out of choice but to attend a Conference/Course. There were LOTS of ...
@martin-bellamy - I agree that a draw and a win against Millwall and Ipswich respectively should be enough to see Boro promoted in the Top Two PROVIDE...
@powmillnaemore - Agreed. I desperately hope we don't go into the last game at Wrexham seeking one point or three to secure automatic promotion, whil...
We, as supporters of our club, hold on to historical parallels. We may even dig out the records to see whether, in that difficult season (what, only o...
I went to a mate's house to watch the match this lunchtime on SkyTV. The sun was shining on a very pleasant day. I had a couple of mugs of good old Y...
@pedro - I think Ayling talked himself into the referee's book by comments he made to the linesman and referee, quite apart from the hugging match he ...
Toothless.
More of the same, so far, in this game. It is a good thing Boro doesn't give the Opponents this much possession and this many opportunities . They'd s...
@pedro ...and all that is the more sad because, when he does play, he usually plays well. I have seen/heard comments from Hellberg praising Fry, sayin...
