I feel much better today which has been ‘clean up day’ though which has been exhausting especially with my immobility. Thanks to everyone for your ki...
@ Deleriad on 16th inst Actually Sheffield United have conceded 3 goals at home on another occasion this season. That was at home to 9 man Blackpool...
Either I have now fallen out of love for football, or football has fallen out with me. Not Boro’s fault of course but I hated last night as I spent mo...
Just awoken from my afternoon siesta so perhaps I’ll be awake in time for tomorrow’s match. I’ve slept through most of the Saturday afternoon kick off...
Rolando Ugolini was a hero in the 50s. I saw his debut against Everton during that time, but had the habit of making the easiest of shots look difficu...
Zeffen cannot take such chances against the Blades. Safety first should be his mantra.
It’s all about accumulating as many points as possible at the moment. I’d settle for a point, though I’d be more concerned that other top sides keep o...
Enough has been said and written about Azeem Rafiq over the last few weeks, that as far as I’m concerned that is the end of the matter. However I can’...
As per usual I fell asleep on Saturday afternoon so can’t possibly add anything meaningful to what has been said. Suffice to say that Billy Sharp is n...
I have great admiration for Bajan gospel choirs and their trust in the Lord for judgement day when they will meet their maker and be reunited with the...
@MartinI wrote the facts about Azeem Rafiq as told to me. The fact that he is a Pakistani needs to be told. In my opinion racism works both ways, and ...
A few weeks before Christmas Jamie Hood, a former Redcar cricketer was inducted into the North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricketers Hall of Fame in f...
I’ve now looked at all the football league tables and don’t intend to view any of them again until Easter. I expect Boro to pick up a point at Cardiff...
Another brilliant display from Harry Brook in the warm-up match to the cricket series in New Zealand. A sighter first ball from Adithya Ashok to Harry...
@ Powmill Naemore regarding penalty points deductions. Juventus were deducted 15 points last month effectively barring them from participating in Euro...
Does anyone remember the song “I want to be Bobby’s Girl” famously sung by Susan Maughan in the early 1960s? Strange that it was a hit about the same ...
I had to stop my continuation of the Bobby Smith story early this morning as my iPad battery needed recharging through the night. Suffice to say that ...
To be continued later this afternoon.
I recently wrote an article about Robert Alfred Smith, born in Lingdale in February 1933, but died in Enfield in September 2010. He of course was wors...
It may be a tad early to write about Yorkshire cricket, but what a low life has Azeem Rafiq turned out to be. The fact that he is a Pakistani and used...
@Jarkko I try to keep up to date with my records not only on Boro but also on the records of ALL our local clubs, Hartlepool’s, Darlington, Whitby T...
Surprisingly Boro’s recent home league record at home to Blackpool is extremely poor with only one win in their last six encounters. As I recall that...
Why do journalists never listen to what Michael Carrick has just said, or indeed to what previous journalists have said either? They more or less ask ...
It’s boring enough to have to list of a week’s fixture list of upcoming matches, not only for all 4 divisions of the English Football League, the Sco...
As maybe someone of you are aware I had a two hour meeting with Forever Dormo (I shall refer to him as Ray) ostensibly to hand over a thick white book...
I’ve always made a study of final league tables of all 4 divisions of the English Football League and although this season in the Championship has bee...
Only the great Severino Ballesteros was able to defy the laws of physics and geometry, but of course he intended to do it, whilst Rudi Gestede’s misse...
Am I the only one who gets bored with transfer speculation? Life’s too short, well it is for yours truly, to be concerned with press tittle- tattle. I...
@ Forever Dormo I’m pleased that someone else is an avid follower of ‘proper grassroots football’ and local cricket as I have been for the past 75 y...
@original-fat-bob The danger being that an appeal might be considered frivolous and a greater punishment could well be given.
