“A 'derby' is a match between local rivals. i.e. teams that are from the same city or the same part of the country. These local games have a special p...
Belated birthday wishes Ken from a sunny but very windy Spain. 😎
@OFB. Thanks for your “derby” opener, much appreciated as always. The match is live on Sky so will not be available via Riverside Live. Given our ...
@exmil. Thanks for that Exmil. It endorses my view that MC is far better qualified to manage the side than me! I agree that you get a far better v...
Well I said I would be happy with a scrappy 1-0 win and so it was albeit not a scrappy game but an attritional one, comprising one team on the front f...
Get in 1-0 Forss. CoB 😎
@john-richardson. Sorry to hear about losing Barney. Sounds like he had a good innings given his age and a good life I am sure as part of the Richard...
I am sure you are correct about Woody and the defence. I just hope that he is doing something different as based upon our clean sheet record, what th...
My uneasiness about the Millwall game has further increased having heard from MC that Lenihan is unlikely to be available for the match! Never been...
@jarkko. Not available outside the UK unless you have a VPN! 😊😎
@ken Sorry to hear of your worrying news. Sending best wishes and positive thoughts. 😎
Thanks Andy for an excellent opener, as always. I am not sure why but I have an uneasy feeling about this one. Not sure if I am wondering if t...
@david-in-cumbria. Down to earth with a big bump and becoming embarrassing. Just hope this doesn’t impact on our league form. 😎
@original-fat-bob . Yes please if you could that would be brilliant. I too thought he was a brilliant midfielder but have had mixed views about him ...
@original-fat-bob. Thank you so much for this. I did read it when you originally posted it. It brings back so many happy memories of players I watc...
Sad to hear of the passing of Gianluca Vialli at the young age of 57. An excellent footballer for both country and club and a successful manager who ...
@malcolm. Sounds like to may be on the mend. Best wishes for restoration to full health shortly. 😎
Happy New Year to one and all and a big thank you to OFB for his FA cup game preview. Having had time to reflect, I have changed my mind from puttin...
I can only concur with what has been said already, a great win, a battling performance with some excellent football played at times. Every player ...
Thanks Andy for your last pre match editorial of 2022. Thanks to you and OFB for all your endeavours which we all appreciate. I think that Brum ...
To my mind, it doesn’t matter what the laws of the game say, if you give the Referee a decision to make then you run the risk of being on the wrong si...
@martin-bellamy. Excellent point about Jones, he is presently failing to do the basics and has not moved forward and built on last seasons performanc...
Has anyone seen the Blackburn goal from the linesman’s view? It certainly appeared the forward was well ahead of our back line and either executed an...
I am with OFB and Plato on the sending off. Yes a soft dismissal but justified in my view given the concerns about head injuries within the sport. ...
@andy-r. Like your positivity. 😉😎
Get in 1-2 great header from Forss to tee up a great shot from McGree. Now Boro don’t blow it. 😎
Get in 1-1 Forss. Just about to post why had MC not swapped Forss for Watmore when he scored. CoB😎
@philip-of-huddersfield. Go to the main Sky match Blackpool v Sheffield Utd and press the red button and then the ‘I” button which should bring up a...
Blackburn are growing into the game and are causing our defence more problems than we are theirs. Dubious goal but they escaped our defence and sc...
@jarkko. That was my view of the game. Wigan seemed determined to stop Jones and overloaded on the right, with the consequence that Giles had acr...
