Next best thing to an OG by Gibbo: penalty conceded after a foul on Tav, but not converted. 🙁
That accords pretty much with AV's assessment of the half, though in fewer words, for obvious reasons: Textbook Warnock first 45 from Boro: pressing...
And the odds on a goal for the Canaries by Hugill? 😮

The kind of honest reporting we've all come to expect, RR. Thank you - & thank God the fare currently being offered by the team on the pitch is n...
Marvin Johnson bags the winner in the 81st minute (from a cross by George Saville)! 😀 AV's dubbed him "NeyMarv"! 😊
Saville bags his second goal in two games to put Boro 1-0 at half-time. 😀 Is he finally starting to show why he was bought from Millwall?
Not really sure where to post this, but Paddy B can't seem to stop scoring for the Dirties: he's just completed his hat-trick, his 4th, 5th & 6th...
Cheers, Werder. 👍 I find it hard to keep track! 😕

Oh, THAT Oliver Langford! Seriously, OFB, I don't really take any notice of refs' names, but I should have remembered that one, even though it was un...
And Bettinelli makes it SIX! That must be some sort of record! 🤥 It will be interesting to see what Redcar Red makes of that stat. Who IS Oliver ...
Bloody hell! FIVE yellow cards (McNair, Morsy, Saville, Howson & Tav)! 🙁
And Akpom atones for his missed sitter by adding the second! 🙂
Thanks for the clarification, Werder, & - a bit belatedly - the entertaining opening piece.
Morsy had the ball in the back of the net in the 37th minute, but it was ruled out for offside (Tav, according to Vic, Akpom, according to the Beeb). ...
The verdict on QPR's equaliser (+ video) posted on Vic Twitter feed:

Chuba (or "China", as Vic referred to him on his Twitter feed 🙂 ) Akpom marks his first start with a debut goal for Boro! *hat* *jig* Hadn't seen...
Cheers, Werder. 🙂 Slightly off topic, there should have been a "what" before "NW's", but it looks as though I can no longer edit the post. 🙁 Is...
I hope this works (should be the 2/3-page feature on the match in the shape of an interview with Ashley Fletcher in the "Match zone" section of today'...
Paddy McNair on for Dijksteel at the start of the second half. Was NW listening to deleriad?
Vic's verdict on the second half: HT: Hints in the first 10, but then Barnsley stepped up a gear & twice have easily carved creaky defence open ...
Make that 0-2 after 34 minutes... 🙁
0-1 after 22 minutes... Here we go again!
It would seem not:
And collected his first yellow of the new season! 😉
Beggars can't be choosers, I suppose, & as things stand, it looks as though Boro's been reduced (more or less) to begging... 🙁
It may only be the Daily Fail, but I'm actually starting to warm to the man!
