That second goal was a thing of beauty.
Thanks for your last minute starter, Powmill - not that it seemed rushed or less than excellent. We’ve just got back from Scotland with a drive ove...
A result that we would all have taken before kick off. I’m not sure about Ayling being lauded quite so highly - sure, the goal line clearance was wort...
Whatever the question is, I can’t see that Borges is the answer. He doesn’t offer any threat going forward and appears not to have a final ball. Honou...
@jarkko I agree about the element of luck but unfortunately such a thing can’t be trained, so we’ll have to rely on skill, guile and effort. LL needs ...
@original-fat-bob I’ve just caught up on your hospital issues and I’m so pleased you’re home. Hope all the problems are solved in the Gerry-built Pace...
Top quality work, Clive. We’re away in Scotland but I’m hoping I can watch the game on my iPad. I’ve no idea what the result will be but anything othe...
Excellent work, @wedermouth, with another starter for the ages. I was wheying up whether to throw in a few cheese puns but decided against it, except ...
@k-p-in-spain Good luck KP.
All the best @exmil - keep smiling and take things easy.
@selwynoz The Australian teams set great store in their defence. It’s just as much an art as try scoring and all the best teams are strong in that are...
It’s easy to feel full of doom and gloom after a result like Saturday’s - I think losing when you’ve been one-nil up is extremely demoralising. I’m ...
Another masterpiece - thanks for the starter Selwyn. I’m feeling confident enough to predict another win on Saturday - it’s 1-2 from the Sherburn mass...
I’ve got a feeling that we’re going to give a team an absolute pasting before long. I doubt it’ll be Watford (whenever we play them, FD 😉) but...
It’s tight isn’t it? If only we could put our chances away - the whole shape of the game changes if RM scores early on. Still every chance to take 3 p...
Another cracking starter, Powmill. The Throstles derivation was extremely interesting - I’m sure there are times when we’ve thought our team should be...
@exmil Good luck with it all. Let’s hope the lads can bring you some cheer in the way of goals.
There are a few comments on here about the fact that we’ve played fairly unambitious teams so far, but I wonder if we’ll perform better against teams ...
Thanks for the excellent starter Jarkko - full of info and much more erudite than most of us could be in our non-native language. We’ve got to win on ...
Got to say, I can’t see what Borges brings to the team. There was a lot of criticism of Giles, particularly around his defending, but he could be reli...
@werdermouth Haven’t seen that clip for a while. 🤣
On the subject of NE history, can I recommend the book, “Cuddy” by Benjamin Myers? It’s a great read about St Cuthbert’s and Durham Cathedral, told ov...
A quick message from Dave: “Great holiday , way too short! Thanks to everyone on Diasboro for their supportive comments. Very happy to take a point fr...
@clive-hurren My memories of Paddy’s Hole centre around infrequent trips there with my Dad. Happy Days. I remember an episode of Landscape Artist of t...
@john-richardson Those photos are brilliant:
Speculation from the Lancashire Evening Post:/p>
@john-richardson I’ve just looked for that book on Amazon. I might have to pass. (I’ve just seen that Barter Books in Alnwick have it for £66 - if y...
