I really enjoy the Boro stuff on this Forum, but, for me, it’s even better when it turns into a virtual pub and talk turns to things outside of footba...

I’ve loved reading tales of everyone’s adventures and it’s safe to say I’m very jealous. I’ve done the C2C cycle route twice (10 years apart - the sec...

@forever-dormo Good work, FD - like a modern day Chris Bonnington, ascending heights of writing skills that few can match. As well as the summits, the...

Sorted. Good work @werdermouth The links to the highlights and BBC reports are fantastic. I’m in awe of your skills - if only I could apply them to ...

@lenmasterman Those words you chose - such a lovely dose of prose. Brilliant wordsmithery on a Sunday afternoon.

@peter-surtees Good point - I’ve said many times that getting promoted is a bit of a poisoned chalice sometimes, although I’m sure we’d all drink it d...

What a sporting day yesterday was - I recorded the Boro game and managed to avoid seeing the score, so it was quite a shock to see the game later. Wha...

Funnily enough I almost bought Absinthe back last week, but, for once, I allowed my head to overrule my heart. That theft in France certainly made ...

@clive-hurren Thanks Clive, that’s very kind.

@forever-dormo We did the Outer Hebrides in the Campervan. It was breathtaking.

@forever-dormo We’re off to Ardnamurchan later this month, via a one night stopover at our daughter’s in Roybridge. We’ve got different accommodation ...

@forever-dormo Thanks for the heads up - looks like it’s Supercar Saturday in Whitby. I’m hopeful of persuading Mrs B to accept a Friday visit instead...

Another excellent opener - thanks @deleriad Foolishly, we’ve got family coming to stay this weekend and we’ve promised to take them to Whitby on S...

@k-p-in-spain The trouble is, the access to sign up for the feed doesn’t appear until relatively close to kick off. I checked yesterday and this morni...

@peter-surtees I’m sure it’ll be worth it. 🤞🏻

@original-fat-bob I believe that Bob Mortimer found himself in that position as a teenager - still, Boro’s loss was Gone Fishing’s gain.

Thanks for all the help finding the stream. It definitely wasn’t available on MFC earlier when I looked, but it’s there now and I’ve paid my £10. I...

@jarkko I do intend to get to a game before too long. Mrs B has promised to accompany me - just need to find a dog sitter for a few hours.

On a different note - does anyone know if a stream is available from MFC for tonight’s game?

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
