Here's a memory for you. When I was about ten or eleven, don't remember quite when, but just before secondary school, my mate David and I used to be...
OFB, We still buy our tea from Ringtons, used to come by a horse a cart but now it's a VW Caddy van. If I get time tomorrow I'll put up another burst ...
Those posts have revived a lot of memories. Sticklebacks in Martin West Beck, or the Beck as it simply called. We used to go beck jumping up near Devi...
@lenmasterman Love the 'Felonius Monk' reference. Jazz, nice. Nice description! UTB,. John
@jarkko I think it it is simply control, perhaps there's a vain hope that everyone will believe everything they say but that would be ignoring the non...
@jarkko I think that the club want to manage and control as much information from and about the club as they can. Some might call it censorship others...
@original-fat-bob Does that mean Mr Carrick will be gone? Or not? Ah, the politics and machinations of the close season. I would have thought the mana...
OFB, Good to hear from you and that you are still here to cause trouble! Obviously in the nicest possible way. If it's any consolation I'm still a...
@forever-dormo In reality there is no answer to honesty but for lots of organisations and people that seems to be difficult, perhaps because secrets...
@martin-bellamy I'll just check the front garden. I do love an 'urban myth'. UTB, John
Werder, A beautifully written piece that sums it all up very nicely but somewhat depressingly too. he whole way that the season has gone is famili...
Dormo's description of Saturday does, in a way, encapsulate the whole season, the visual it reminds me of is the sad sight of a snowman melting away w...
Clive, Absolutely bang-on, I think you have hit all the nails on their collective head. I for one would like to see, in another world I know, what a d...
OFB, great to hear you are back home even if there is still some unfinished business for you. Stay positive and get that Oracle's cave dusted and read...
OFB, Best wishes for today and your (short, we hope) hospital stay. ATB UTB, John
Well we've heard the platitudes and excuses before. Many times. I think Mr Gibson has a hard decision to make so, will he, or won't he? There's tale...
Andy, A very fine starter, many thanks and it perfectly encapsulates what Boro are and where they might be. Now we can all sit back and wait for the d...
@werdermouth We don't UTB, John
@original-fat-bob Anytime, but I must stop using my phone, it turns things into nonsense in places. Unpredictable like a certain football team we know...
@original-fat-bob They, those lovely medics, do love a good acronym, don't they. I remember a letter about what I had, they did and outcomes plus inpu...
OFB, Result not important as I've said before. Although we all want Boro to win. Just get well as soon as possible and then you've got the close seaso...
Actually I get bored with what is I suppose, the blame game. Boro, the team, just aren't good enough when it comes down to it. We are short in all the...
Selwynoz, an absolutely superlative starter that beautifully describes 'Unpredictable Boro'. Inconsistent, unreliable, unpredictable and I'd add waste...
@original-fat-bob I hope you feel better soon, very soon, and that score will do me too. I'll say nothing more for fear of putting a hex on the squa...
Nice one and in fact a really good headliner Powmill and a nod to Norwich too in the final and closing line. Will we beat them though? Typically it ...
Martin, Many thanks for the headliner and you are right I always see them as a bogey team. When I was very young I seem to remember Boro conceding n...
@stircrazy You are right! It'll be dragged out to the bitter end. Only Boro could do this to us. Still they won and that winner was a beauty... This t...
Will this finally stop the Gazette going on about the play-offs? Poor, very poor. All that possession and it counts for nothing. UTB, John
Well Diasboreans it's a proper Saturday at last, a Saturday with Football as in our team playing on a Saturday with a three o'clock kick-off. All is w...
@original-fat-bob Good to hear that you are back and quite possibly staring at the wine collection. Just don't drift off and fall asleep at the matc...
