A good win for Hartlepool in the FA Cup last night quite unexpectedly but Wycombe Wanderers have hit a bad patch. Nevertheless as they walloped Boro i...

When I wrote in July that cricket seemed to have a bright future I didn’t foresee the drama of the allegations by Azeem Rafiq bring cricket to its kne...

England’s 10-0 win last night was too easy but not their biggest ever. Apparently they have twice beaten Northern Ireland by scoring 13 goals, 13-0 in...

@Allan in Bahrain What’s more it was two years before we bought a black and white TV set with a 12 inch screen and only one channel the BBC in tho...

Today’s the day that the Parliamentary subcommittee listen to Azeem Rafiq and Michael Vaughan’s purported comments to a group of young Asians among ot...

A humorous aside was on my wedding day when making my vows when I said the words “according to God’s holy war” instead of ‘God’s holy law” and had to...

@Redcar Red It’s when one gets nearer to death one questions the logic of it all. When my wife died I heard her last breath, saw her lying in her ...

Hartlepool United have an FA Cup replay tomorrow night against Division 1 opponents Wycombe, the winners to play away to Lincoln City. It seems a big ...

Thanks OFB. Much appreciated.

I can’t see England winning the Ashes this winter with too much reliance on Joe Root in the batting department. The Aussies will be supercharged follo...

@ Andy R Congratulations to Australia! I suppose it’s some small consolation that Mitchell Starc in 2012 and Glenn Maxwell in 2015 played briefly ...

@Andy R No need to apologise. But having lived through the Second World War when churches were fuller than perhaps they are today that people neede...

It’s good to see that Football still recognises Remembrance Day. When I was at Coatham Grammar School it was always commemorated at Assembly at 11 am ...

@ Redcar Red Indeed, England were odds on to qualify for the World Cup finals. All they had to do was beat Poland at Wembley but could only manage ...

Today’s the final of the World T20 Cup Final in Dubai between Australia and New Zealand. There is some connection for Yorkshire fans as the Kiwi’s cap...

England only need a draw to qualify for the World Cup finals and little San Marino stand in their way. Surely a God-given result tomorrow then! But wh...

I expect some more revelations tomorrow as Lord Patel opens a whistleblowing hotline for former Yorkshire CCC players who have been affected by racial...

Thanks OFB for the prologue to next Saturday’s home match; it seems an age already since Boro last played at home. The last 5 matches played on the 2...

There’s also a King’s Head pub in Great Ayton overlooking the beautiful River Leven which I can tell you had a special memory for me. The year my wi...

Oh dear, Hartlepool’s long unbeaten home record has been shattered 1-2 by Newport County with a goal by Dom Telford three minutes into injury time. Th...

Regarding DJed Spence his value is increasing day by day. He seems happy at Forest, but Boro hold his contract. Might he even put in a transfer reques...

@jarkko Sorry I can’t agree, and I don’t think Warnock would want that. I do agree though that his sacking could have been administered better. How...

Just like yesterday’s World Cup T20 Semifinal the match has been decided by the side batting second with exactly one over remaining as evening dew mak...

Mark Arthur Chief Executive of Yorkshire CCC has now resigned over the handling of the Azeem Rafiq racism attacks.

What an amazing T20 World Cup Semifinal on Sky after England had scored a competitive total of 166 for 4 and had New Zealand 13 for 2 into the 3rd ove...

One quote I liked from Chris Wilder was “We must all look in the mirror than outside the window”. I get the feeling also from Andy Campbell’s thought...

Things are moving at Yorkshire CCC since the appointment of Lord Kamlesh Patel as chairman. According to the Yorkshire Post chief coach Andrew Gale ha...

Interesting perspective in the Gazette how Chris Wilder sets his teams up. One thing missing under Neil Warnock was the approach to attacking from dea...

I know that this won’t go down too well with Boro fans, but I hope that Eddie Howe keeps Newcastle in the Premier League if only for the fact that if ...

Perhaps Yorkshire CCC can now make a new start with the appointment of Lord Kamlesh Patel as chairman. He was born in Kenya but brought up in Bradford...
