OFB You’ve obviously been busy this week producing a long prelude (or should that be overture in musical terms) for Boro’s next match. I’m sure that...
Jarkko I had my first covid injection a couple of weeks ago and luckily it was at Redcar less than a mile from my home. I’ve not yet been given a d...
I’ve enjoyed writing about all these composers including the more recent ones whom I hold in the highest regard as their forbearers. I keep on hearing...
LIONEL BART 1930/1999 I’d always had it in mind to finish my memories of great composers with Lionel Bart. I’m aware that there are still some great...
I know that we’re all Boro fans, but might I respectfully suggest that we all lighten up a little. It’s been a terrific weekend in other sports with E...
I hope nobody will be celebrating their birthday tomorrow as it’s very likely that Boro might put a damper on it. I just thought that I’d peruse Boro ...
NELSON SMOCK RIDDLE 1921/1985 Nelson Riddle was born in Oradell, New Jersey in 1921 and later he and his parents moved to nearby Ridgewood where he ...
Well done OFB. It’s not easy to take up the mantle of Werdermouth and Redcar Red. It’s the research that takes up probably 90% of the time to produce ...
After a two week break through health problems I’m almost reaching the climax of my review of classical composers so now I continue with:- LEONARD B...
As OFB states my little pocket book states that last season Assombalonga scored 11 league goals from 35 appearances 8 of which were as a substitute wh...
I can empathise with Neil Warnock mentioning that he felt a bit low earlier this week when his two targeted loan players didn’t come to fr
@k-p-in-spain No after effects from the vaccine. I must commend the quickness of the operation at Redcar Primary Care Hospital. Three colour coded ...
@paulinboro I hadn’t noticed the so-called Britt bite either, but concerned now whether a retrospective 3-match ban might be administered though it...
Credit where it’s due, not only to Boro for bouncing back from such a dismal performance against Brum. Also credit for the Forest ground staff for get...
@jarkko Boro will definitely become an established Premier League club in the future, but not in my lifetime. If one looks at the number of points t...
FRANK HENRY LOESSER 1910/1969 Frank Loesser was born into a German Jewish family in Manhattan, New York City in 1910 and from the age of 4 was reput...
DMITRI DMITRIYEVICH SHOSTAKOVICH 1906/1975 I have previously mentioned how much I love Russian music especially the compositions for Kossack dance...
@k-p-in-spain Agreed, especially he wasn’t even bought as a striker but as a full back.
@plato Yes I noticed that. Strikers are usually greedy, as were Brian Clough and Jimmy Greaves in their heyday. But Assombalonga thinks he’s a stri...
@john-richardson Sounds like Jiminy Cricket with his wellies marked R and L.
@jarkko It’s difficult to assess how much the coronavirus pandemic affected Boro. I haven’t had it but this second strain appears to be much stronge...
Since losing 1-3 at home to Brentford on the 12th December Nottm Forest have now gone unbeaten for 7 matches winning 4 of them and only conceded 3 goa...
Neil Warnock admitted that the players should have trained at the Riverside yesterday. They could certainly have trained at Redcar as it was a beautif...
That’s 5 successive matches including the FA Cup tie at Brentford that Boro have conceded the first goal and lost 3 of them. Why do we always seem to ...
Very poor from Boro. Need a quick equaliser as if Brum score next I can’t see any way back. To the neutral observer one would think that Boro were fi...
RICHARD ADDINSELL 1904/1977 Richard Addinsell was born in Woburn Square, London in 1904. He was educated at home before attending Hertford College, ...
OFB Hoping everything is going well with your pacemaker and you’ll be able to watch the match tomorrow. Surprised about snow on Teesside the last co...
