Forever Dormo, Thoughtful, thought provoking and food for thought too. Good to hear from you again, post again and stay safe. All the best, UTB,...
Redcar Red, many thanks for your effort and the finished leader piece. This is another 'Typical Boro' fixture, aren't they all? It doesn't matter wh...
@jarkko A Britt penalty. The pigeons at the Riverside have gone into hiding. UTB, John
Sorry but I can't even get worked up about them any more. Forty days and forty nights in the wilderness, read years, with fans being tempted by succes...
@ken A nice little summation of the classic underachievers. Us older supporters know what will happen=, when something looks easy and nailed-on Boro...
Thank goodness there weren't any fans in the stadium... UTB, John
Just returned from a long terrier walk to find Boro winning 0-2. I was at that game a few years ago where we were winning by the same margin at half-t...
@original-fat-bob Yes please OFB, I enjoyed those interviews. Stay safe, UTB, John
Powmill, Sadly we all know it's too much to ask the referees and linesmen to be a little more competent. They don't seem to be able to cope with VAR...
@original-fat-bob "talking about me, like" a Geordie would say " talking about me, you know though but"! Is this a secret life OFB. UTB, John
@redcarred I'll pass on your comment... John
@jarkko Don't know about posh, I married a posh Geordie though! Well so she tells me and who am I to disagree? Nodding of heads all over the DiasBor...
@malcolm The team was better without our 'wandering minstrel', apologies to Ken, and the Terriers manager said they couldn't cope with Watmore's mov...
@andy-r Andy, you're not wrong, that looks like a suspension. UTB, John
@original-fat-bob OFB, It's amazing really, one match the referee doesn't see a boot in the face in the penalty area and doesn't even seem curious a...
A lightweight article in The Gazette about the mood amongst the Boro players in the dressing room and the lack of leaders. So why, oh why, haven't we ...
OK, Huddersfield appear to have a poorer recent record than Boro do(?). Hands up anybody who can't see just the merest hint of a Boro banana skin. P...
I think I'm going to bed. Fingers in my ears and going la, la, la. Saving half a bottle of Malbec for Tuesday. I'd finish it now and have another tw...
@powmillnaemore You beat me to it, I reckoned a 2-1 defeat. But there's always the smoke and mirrors... I'd settle for a draw though. Stay safe ...
OFB, Thank you for the scene setting preview, 'eyes in the sky'? Probably. My forecasting skills are a bit like Britt's in front of goal so I'm goin...
Ah, Britt he who can hit a slender post but not the goal. That was a rude awakening, the trouble is why can't we see it coming until after the crash? ...
Having checked through my Boro supporter's 'Book of Omens, Superstitions, Typicals and Cynicism' I'm going for a draw, not an 'Eyes in the Sky' althou...
@jarkko Previous managerial experience? Hmmm. Maybe they spotted something Boro didn't? Stay safe everyone. UTB, John
@original-fat-bob Lightning strikes twice? As long as Bournemouth don't poach our current manager. Plus anther interesting signing. Stay safe, ...
OFB, I think we need an 'eyeballs' T-Shirt for you. And Jim-jams, a towel and a Onesy, we could even turn OFB into an 'Eyeballs brand! Seriously tho...
@original-fat-bob OFB, Only because I said we'd get beaten. If I go into the villageI'm going to paint a smile on my mask. Stay safe everyone, U...
Norwich, now which Boro will turn up at Carrow Road? Being a fully time-served member of that exclusive Boro club, 'Cynics' I would say that this is...
Redcar Red, I agree with your assessment. 'Fortress Riverside', I think not it's just somewhere to store the 'down with the Christmas decorations' syn...
@original-fat-bob I agree and he didn't seem to show that much remorse immediately after the event either. Karma comes around. UTB, John
Redcar Red, Thank you for the leader and the comforting words about the referee. I'm heartened by the fact that its not Dixon of Dock Green again. It ...
