@jarkko We don’t move over until 12th Jan so we’re still in South Shropshire. Even when we move I’ll be 90 minutes away from the Riverside, but I’m su...
@jarkko Typical (Boro) because I rearranged a pre Xmas meal with a daughter and her partner that had been booked for Sunday. None of us wanted to miss...
“Carrigan’s”? I think the spellchecker has done for you there! A great starter OFB, and I’d take a draw from this one, I think. MC has certainly gi...
@jarkko We’re living in our static caravan at the moment until our new house is available and yesterday the water pipes froze for the first time. We t...
@ken Amateurism is all well and good, but it favours those with access to time and income to pursue their sport. Trying to become a successful Olympic...
@plato I’ve got to say that I’ve spent many days of my younger life running around a sports pitch but not once did I think I was emulating a god. To b...
@deleriad As always, my principles have developed casters - I’m full of respect for you following yours.
@ken Personally, I’m happy to pay 44p per day to have access to the full panoply of BBC services. I’m 67 so maybe you wouldn’t count me as part of the...
On the subject of music, I heard Jackie Thomas on Saturday Live on R4 this morning. She is a founder member of the Brodsky Quartet and a Boro lass. Sh...
@ken My best friend and business partner lost his life to MND, 5 years ago. It’s an awful way to go.
Dim can also mean pale? I can’t get my head around that, I’m afraid.
USA, USA, USA! (ad infinitum). I expected to hear, “get in the hole!”
Whilst I agree that Emerson could be an amazing player when he was up for it and I loved to watch him play, he wouldn’t be my top foreigner. It’s hard...
We’ll done to the BBC-/p>
@plato Maybe the heir’s Father had already received his payment.
@deleriad That’s a very principled approach and I’ll admit that I’ll struggle to follow suit. As you said, whether we watch or not will make little di...
Some superb posts on this thread. When I first signed up to this Forum, I didn’t know I’d learn so much.
I’m not at all aiming to be disrespectful, but I read that and thought of some of the explanations given by Ted Rogers to the final riddle on 3,2,1. H...
@selwynoz You’re right. Maybe I’ve got the wrong team there. Can anyone clarify?
@selwynoz Not sure about the ladies, but the Women’s team’s website is here. 😉
How’s that “Good player” done since he was signed by the giant that is Spurs? This extract is from the Nottingham Post today: “However, Spence has s...
Please don’t think I’m being churlish or too woke, but I think Middlesbrough Women FC would prefer the word “women” to “ladies”. We rarely refer to “m...
Wow, indeed.
@ken Which of the Ex Wigan players would you have left out? Tomkins? Williams? Personally, I’d not have had Bateman in, but I’d trust SW’s judgment ov...
@forever-dormo Wise words, as ever. You've eloquently expanded on my earlier response in an extremely detailed way. Thank you.
It was a stunning game. That Australian try was as good as any I’ve ever seen.
Don’t forget the Rugby League WC. I’ve just watched the Australian men score a try that frankly was unbelievable. England men are in the semi final ag...
@allan-in-bahrain I entirely respect your views and your first hand experience but to give Qatar a clean slate because other countries are as bad or w...
The overall optimism that’s blooming on the Forum at present is such a tonic, so thanks to OFB for the opener and to everyone else who’s posts are ful...
@forever-dormo Been there, done that…
