I used to love it when I was young to have Marske Silver Band or Skelton Silver Band play for us before the match and at halftime. Once I recall we we...
OFB When I worked in the Teesside Borough Treasurer’s Department in 1968 there was a John Foster who had a Durham accent and was an Assistant Treasu...
The former venue in the Isle of Dogs was aptly named as in fox hunting terms it resembled a crowd baying for blood against their opponents. That conti...
What a Cup match at the Vic tonight. A full house saw a fantastic David v Goliath match probably a precursor to Boro v Chelsea later this month where ...
I’m not going to slate Chris Wilder, the man has pedigree. However it was fanciful to expect Boro to reach the playoffs and even more so to expect pro...
Clive Defeat at Millwall will probably keep us in the Championship for another season so we can concentrate on the FA Cup, and in the meantime Jonny...
Jarrko The word Kismet first came to my attention when Alexander Bordin’s music was used in the film called Kismet. In English I guess it means fat...
Has Chris Wilder got the Midas touch? Well it would appear so for here is another fact to go with Andy R’s excellent prologue. Wilder has won all six ...
Sorry, I omitted to name the Swindon fullback who has made the most appearances for one club. Of course it was John Trollope with 889.
Congratulations to Gary Liddle on making his 700th appearance for Hartlepool against Harrogate last Saturday. He had previously played for Notts Count...
Strangely although I can see Boro reaching the FA Cup Final providing they avoid Liverpool and Man City in the Semifinal, I have them finishing 10th i...
Let’s not forget that the Hartlepool v Rotherham FL Trophy match on Wednesday is also on Sky Sports. Same as Boro, Pools are also one match away from ...
Sheffield Utd have failed to score 4 times and only scored once in 5 of their home matches this season, thus if Boro can score one maybe that will be ...
Martin I was at the replay against Shrewsbury which Boro won 5-1 and also at Ewood Park for the 5th Round against 1st Division side Blackburn which...
The record of winning 11 consecutive league matches in the SAME SEASON was in the 1913/14 season starting on the 22nd November against Burnley 2-1, Ne...
I’ve just woken up to hear the devastating news of the death of Shane Warne, the greatest leg spinner, no arguably the greatest bowler in my lifetime....
Clive As a youngster I dreamed of Boro winning the FA Cup at Wembley, and they never came near to that until 1997, and that was tainted by relegat...
The problem is that the Ukrainian national flag is blue and yellow, not yellow and blue and the best impact would be blue shirts with yellow shorts. B...
Because of progressive health issues I haven’t got the time or inclination to add much to the research of Boro’s history or statistics. From a selfish...
You heard it first here. The only clubs Boro have beaten at home in the FA Cup of those remaining in this year’s competition are Southampton 1-0 in 19...
Believe me football is well down my list of priorities. I’ve lived through the Second World War, the 1962 Cuban misssile crisis that had the world in ...
Well let’s talk and write about Boro on this page and leave politics to its rightful place on the politics subpage. It’s good to see that the Gazet...
So Boro not to win another away game then, even though they have yet to play both Peterborough and Barnsley away. Matches cannot be won on a computer,...
You know, I’ve read fellow diasborians differing points of view about which players especially forwards should start the match, and that’s fine by me....
OFB I guess the match where Alan Moore played a blinder must have been on the 24th August 1993 when he scored twice. As I recall I think that Boro w...
Len I agree with you. Duncan Watmore was my man of the match too. However I thought overall that West Brom were poor. Some of the comments on the B...
Warnock would probably have been sent to the stands or maybe even the dressing room after berating the officials.
Neither do I, Martin. Past results against clubs shouldn’t have any bearing on the current situation, but tell that to forecasters and indeed supporte...
