At least Grant Hall was training with the first team yesterday as he was shown in these pictures (picture nr. 40):/p> So it looks like it is not a l...
Am I the only one spending holidays in Middlesbrough? They have a very good football team down there... Ok, I often stay in Yarm or Gt Ayton. And I ...
Yes, I was there with Eija - the young lady I later married to. Driving an old Ford Fiesta 1.0 litre all the way from here to the UK. Mind you, we d...
@original-fat-bob thanks for a great opener, again. Since we played at Forest on Wednesday 15th September and won by 0-2, they have been through 16 ...
@malcolm I used to follow Gordon's career as he had a regular blog on the Shoot! Magazine. Luckily I was able to see him in a pub a few years ago an...
Keep on pushing him, Bob. I had a cuppa with Terry in 1980. Cannot remember if it was at Rea's but somewhere in or next to Ayresome. He is my all ti...
@paulinboro I think Fry and especially McNair can play the ball from the back. We have to remember that we played the best away team of the division i...
I think there was a foul on Jones that resulted as a penalty. So the referee got that correct - it was a foul. But a VAR could have made it a free ...
Bournemouth's fans were faced with a 636-mile round trip for the lunchtime kick-off, with supporters' coaches having left the Vitality Stadium at 03:0...
@lenmasterman A win is a win. Could have made it two in the final minutes. An excellent result for the mighty Boro. We will be going up. Up the Bor...
@powmillnaemore And I thought it was your Scottish accent... UTB!
@ken Yes, it was a 7-2 win as you said. But the tiny Cummins was excellent. Many other famous players were in that line up, too. Yes, I meant in le...
@paulinboro Yes, Terry Cochrane was also the first Boro player I ever met. Had a cuppa with him in 1980. What a team we had in the match versus Chel...
On this day in 1978, Micky Burns was the star of the show as Boro stuck seven goals past Chelsea. And Micky scored four! I remember the day like it ...
Back to football and the Cherries match. Boro have never lost a home match against Bournemouth. And we are unbeaten in the last ten matches (all com...
@ken Nice story, Ken. Please keep them posted as I like history and a good story. I didn't know there are two clubs so similar in name. Also, I do n...
If Crooks will not be fit, I would like to see Martin Payero in there. The same I expected to see at Stoke when Crooks needed to come off. But Payer...
@original-fat-bob Yeah, but I did not know that Hall is a long termer with his injury. Is that confirmed or did I miss that when travelling for work r...
Teesside Live are reporting that we have longer term injuries for Darnell Fisher, Grant Hall, Sammy Ameobi and Marcus Browne. I think the latter sho...
In his five matches in charge, the Wilder Boro have collected eight points. It makes an average of 1.6. And that includes the unlucky Preston match ...
We have come quite a far if a point at good Stoke feels a bit like losing two points, but that is my feeling still this morning. OK, both clubs had ...
HOW did Watmore miss THAT chance? A lovely and early center by Jones. But well played so far. A 0-0 draw looming but a goal will deside it. Come on ...
@redcarred Another foam-hander in there? Should I be worried next? UTB!
@powmillnaemore Willie Maddren & Stuart Boam, Mogga & Pallister and Ehiogu & Southgate - all legendary centre-back pairings for the Boro....
@ken there is only one thing that comes to my mind from Mansfield - Stuart Boam, the former Boro captain. Stuart Boam was signed from Mansfield Tow...
@david-in-cumbria Mind, I and my wife stayed a night in Preston as we had planned to see Boro at Blackburn on a Boxing Day. That was a few years back....
PS. The summer was very hot in here. It was over + 30 degrees C for nearly a month. I was planning to cycle with my wife on holiday, but we needed to ...
@ken It was -15 degrees of Celsius all day yesterday. And only -12 today over here in Finland. No drama as we are used to it. As the country is lo...
Ben Brereton Diaz's 17th Championship goal of the season clinched victory for Blackburn over Preston in the Lancashire derby as they moved up to fourt...
@redcarred Great to have you back. And enjoying the game again, like. Long may the new Boro reign. Up the Boro!
