Jarkko, Happy Birthday, I know you follow my print blog so let me know which one you'd like and I'll send it to you. A Boro print? It'll probably ge...

@redcarred Assombalonga was a mistaken gesture of fairness, both teams playing with ten men. UTB, John

Ken, Great work there's a book or Boro Almanac in here somewhere. Stay safe, UTB, John

Andy, Very well done on the leader article, impressive work, thank you. I know we all feel that the season has fizzled out a little, understatemen...

@stircrazy If Britt's on so we're technically down to ten men. That should make him equalise. UTB, John

OFB, Thank you for the intro leader, comprehensive and interesting. I don't see this as an 'eyes in the sky' with Flap and Fumble in our goal and Ba...

Recar Red, Thanks for the preview and the home truths. I suspect that tomorrow the criticism will be about the manner in which we lost the game, n...

I'm taking the Black Dog for a walk in the morning, he's got more drive and energy. Depressing. Is it time to play the youngsters and test some out. E...

OFB, I get the feeling that Boro will turn up for this one, pretty well everybody thinks they'll lose and they probably would if they were playing a...

Ken, did Frank Worthington play for Bolton against the Boro at Ayresome Park in the eighties. I think Boro drew with them but my memory is somewhat bl...

@redcarred Lies, damned lies and statistics? It must be the silly season really. Stay safe, UTB, John

I've just watched that own-goal again and had the thought that if it had been Britt in that position a yard out he'd have missed. Small consolation I ...

@redcarred Well, it's typical Boroisn't it. They build you up and knock you down. It isn't new either. When any player comes down the A19 they see...

Andy, Well done on the leader article about the Millwall match. I remember going to the Den around 1968 and happily cheering Boro on and seemingly...

OFB, Thanks for the leader, well written and a pleasure to read. As always one caveat is which Boro turns up and Boro's new 'red-zone' seems to be t...

Today's big question is, which Boro will turn up today? If the sleepy lazy, sleepy and disinterested one turns up, well, it'll be a hard day. For st...

@plato Plus two red cards that changed the game and then rescinded by same FA. It beggars belief at how they are able to ignore incompetence on a gr...

@original-fat-bob They should be charging the Referee and his helpers with bringing the game into disrepute never mind Boro. salt into the wound spr...

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...
