I’m a bit confused by some of the comments on here about Coulson. It seems to be being assumed that Woodgate is in some way to blame here, but what ev...
Another brilliant starter - great work Clive. That magical day in Cardiff remains my greatest day in sport, all the better for being shared with my el...
Ah, Rugby League - the game with the tries and entertainment. 😉
@andy-r Thanks, Andy.
@forever-dormo I’m down for the two Preston games as far as I’m aware. As you said, it might be a good idea to clarify things now to avoid any confusi...
At last a good weekend of sport. First, Wigan Warriors held off Leigh Leopards last night to clinch the League Leader’s Shield and then 3 points for t...
@plato Hang on a minute - you’ve got your wish for the young tall striker to play from the start, but now it’s the other players who are stopping him ...
@peter-surtees Well made observations there. At this level, all players have skills way beyond Sunday morning footballers, but the confidence thing is...
I really believe that we were lucky last year to be in the playoffs. Lucky in having some loanees who fitted MC’s style, lucky to have a striker who f...
It’s not pretty is it? Too many misplaced passes and no quality. Fry looks terrified every time he has the ball and Engel is being outpaced on the lef...
Coburn in the team tonight. Let’s hope he lives up to expectations. UTB
Sad news. Ken and I weren’t always on the same page, but I respected his views and was in awe of his incredible memory of all things Boro. He’s seems ...
@werdermouth Ah, the good old days! Looking back, educational establishments had some strange views on how to nurture children. Do you think we were a...
@clive-hurren With a score like that there must have been lots of tries, seemingly unlike most RU games where kicking goals seems key to a win.
@forever-dormo It was football in the winter at GGS, then cricket and athletics in the summer. I was in the football and cricket teams throughout my t...
@forever-dormo Bore dar. I really struggle with RU, possibly because I’ve no idea of the rules. We didn’t play rugby at Guisborough Grammar, so it’s a...
@forever-dormo Too many players for me, I’m afraid. Rugby League is my code of choice, particularly as Wigan are currently top of the league. As a mat...
People from Guisborough are known as Guisborians, so maybe those from the Boro should be Middlesborians.
@plato I’ll give you this, you certainly know how to concentrate the mind. If only I knew the player to which you’re alluding. It’s not as if you’ve m...
Red Wallers?
Evening from (hopefully) sunny Dorset. A couple of weeks away and looking forward to reading about a win tomorrow. Another brilliant opener, this t...
I see that Djed Spence has gone to Leeds on loan. It’s definitely not worked out for him at Spurs but it appears that whilst Leeds will pay his wages,...
Whilst I’m inclined to agree with comments about the EFL Cup, I can’t help reflect that the 29th February 2004 was the greatest day of my Boro support...
@forever-dormo An interesting viewpoint and I don’t have any evidence to disagree, but I wonder what else is the reason that JC is being sent out on l...
Social media is in its usual meltdown over the loan of JC to Plymouth. I’m sure that people think that our coach makes decisions just to wind them up,...
A brilliant opener, Len. The standard of writing on here never fails to impress - let’s hope our team do justice to your prose.
@plato This guy?
@gt. I wasn’t referring specifically to this case in my reference to victim blaming, but rather to your comment about the problem of a “young man” rea...
@Malcolm - on paper he looks as though he has experience of the Championship having won promotion twice. I have no knowledge of him - have you seen hi...
I’m sorry, but victim blaming isn’t acceptable here. The prosecution rates for rape in England are unacceptably low. There were 67,169 rapes recorded ...
