@malcolm Not for me. I think we’ve edged it.
@clive-hurren Sounds good. I’ll have a Malbec please. 🍷
@eboroacum I actually had my 60th Birthday in a rented cottage in Potto with all the family. Good memories, although I recall Wigan Warriors losing th...
I found this article about how Football differs from other businesses quite interesting (from today’s Guardian). PS. I’ve just noticed that this...
Good work, Clive. I’m away with family for the weekend in the County Pallatine, but hopefully I’ll be able to watch the game on my iPad. Let’s hope we...
@pedro Like most employment contracts, I suspect there’s always a way out. I’d genuinely be interested in reading a footballer’s contract to see what ...
@malcolm What would you do in his position? He’s (apparently) being offered a move to a team near the top of the PL from a mid-table Championship team...
I suspect none of us, in our heart of hearts, was too surprised by last night’s result. The home game could easily have been a very different result (...
@forever-dormo You pooped in the butcher’s?
@deleriad As coincidence would have it, Mrs B and I stopped in Stamford Bridge last week, to give Ralf a walk on our way home from York. The village m...
@original-fat-bob Really? Maybe he was just doing his job of seeing it as he saw it, rather than showing a Boro bias. Who knows? - I’d like to remembe...
@werdermouth. If starter posts can be perfect, then this is the one. I’m in awe of this example of your writing skills - if our team play to a similar...
@original-fat-bob Are you suggesting he isn’t a Boro boy? I seem to recall two other Boro boys called Revie & Clough trying their hands at coachin...
@forever-dormo Our haggis, neeps & tatties are in the fridge in readiness for Jan 25th. I’ll be making a whisky sauce using Laphroaig.
@exmil For a bit of certainty? Deals are often structured in ways that look odd to supporters but make sense to the clubs involved. I guess we’ll just...
Isn’t there a chance that we sell to Villa but retain the player on loan until the end of the season? I’m not sure if that’s a good option but it soun...
Even the Guardian is reporting on this one./p>
If only the Scottish Government were as efficient at large infra structure projects as the UK one. HS2 anyone? 😉
Another Yorkshire derby and one we can surely win. Thanks for another superb starter @deleriad. I don’t think I’ve ever been to Rotherham, although mo...
@jarkko I was 23 in 1978 so I was probably busy doing other things, hence my non attendance at the Museum. Cook’s first name was James (hence the n...
1-0 down after 10 minutes.
Just a few quick questions. How will signing the petition prevent the Museum’s closure? Who is responsible for its proposed closure? How many Forum me...
Match report from the Guardian:
I’m sure we’d have taken 1-0 before kickoff. We rode our luck but a win is a win.
Another superb starter. I was at the Zenith Data Systems final, courtesy of tickets acquired somehow by a southern based work colleague. Unfortunat...
Nice to see our team on national terrestrial tv yesterday. I thought we played pretty well and with some calmer finishing we could have pinched a win,...
@gt The Boro will always be Yorkshire to me, I’m afraid.
@lenmasterman Frankly, if you scraped a draw from your encounter I’d say you were lucky. To mix a sporting analogy (courtesy of FD’s comment), if you’...
@exmil You’ve made me click on the Fail’s website - I’ll have to disinfect my phone now. 😉
