@forever-dormo I used to play at school then stopped when I started work. Later, having moved to Hett in Co Durham, I somehow found myself playing for...
@forever-dormo In the early 80s, I used to play quite a lot of cricket (at a very low standard) and we often played teams comprised of British Asians....
@ken I have visited many parts of France, but I think Chartres is still on my list. I’ve got a ferry booking for Sept 22, that’s now in its 4th incarn...
I’m just checking in to find out what’s going on. Has everyone been issued with foam hands to protect us from the new variant? I’ve never seen suc...
@forever-dormo More wise words. Mental health generally is a tricky subject but, fortunately, society is at least become more open about it. The day...
@powmillnaemore Wise words.
@ken Why would you doubt his hero status, Ken? He didn’t “commit” suicide, he died of suicide, a subtle difference that takes away the notion that he’...
I’ve suffered today from my neighbours coming out of the woodwork to remind me who they support! I, too, thought we looked good for about 35 minutes...
@clive-hurren I was there that day too, with my family. I recall he was goaded into it by the Boro fans.
I’m surrounded by Preston supporting neighbours, so a Boro win would be much appreciated. 🤞🏻
@original-fat-bob I don’t think New Years Day became an official Bank Holiday until the early 70s.
@original-fat-bob “His final comment was “The allegations made by Warnock at his last press interview are all true!”” I’ve missed those allegatio...
@ken For some reason, when I was at Grammar School in Guisborough, I used to have a Blackpool FC tangerine shirt that I wore for sports. To this day I...
@ken I’d hope you’d be in charge of keeping the archive of our team with maybe a history of all the players - given your immense knowledge of the Boro...
Jonathan Agnew said on R4 this evening that until the report is issued it’s hard to see whether progress has been made and I think he’s right. It’s ce...
@jarkko We’re going to need a Manager too. @RedcarRed reads the game really well - maybe he could do it! Maybe it’s a good idea to have @original-fa...
@jarkko It would be interesting to see the team that we could turn out from this Forum’s members. I’m 6’5” and left footed. I’ve played centre back,...
A bit off topic but Boro related: Oh, to have a Ravanelli again.
I used to accept the blame for us losing every time I went to an away game over here on the wet side of the Pennines, but it’s possible that we lost o...
Apology gratefully accepted. I’ve just come back from the Ben Nevis Inn where we had dinner to celebrate my eldest daughter’s 40th Birthday and the po...
I’m inclined to agree, although life’s never too short for politeness, nor for civility. I abhor an attitude that assumes someone’s own opinion is mor...
And your continued lack of an apology remains very telling.
Maybe because you upset me and didn’t even think to apologise. And because I was admonished on this site whilst you got off Scot free and yet you feel...
About that not playing the man thing… DA7C53F4-3568-4D17-A7CC-579091315A35.jpeg
@exmil Mea culpa! I did think he’d lost the dressing room and if I was wrong I’m delighted.
We’ve driven up to Ardnamurchan today so couldn’t watch the game live. I managed to avoid seeing the result and have just watched the Sky highlights o...
@malcolm I think maybe he needs some better coaching. If he could hit the target regularly when he cuts inside and shoots with his left foot he’d be a...
Re Tav, it was interesting to hear the RTees commentator last night talking about his mate who’d sat behind the bench at the previous game. He said he...
@original-fat-bob That’s better. 🙂
