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 ...
I’m not going to get involved in the details of the Greenwood case but I do think that clubs need to teach their young players much more than football...
Definite, no, from me.
@werdermouth That's a good point you’ve made - you’re probably right that I can’t have what I’d be happy with, without the club’s desire to be promote...
I think we’d all agree that the Championship is quite unlike the EPL. Our division is contaminated by the dropping down of the (generally) wealthy rel...
Bingo!
What if that player has made noises that he’s unhappy and wants away? I’m not saying that he has but it’s at least a possibility isn’t it? If his head...
@plato I don’t have the answers you’re looking for, except that injuries to key players towards the end of last season must be partly to blame. It cou...
@plato. Are there any aspects of our club which you feel are positive? Your regular description of players and staff without actually naming them alwa...
Stan Cummins?
I’ve seen all the games and I agree about their technical ability. Toone’s goal was a cracker although she may lose her place to James in the Final. ...
