OK, I managed to create a working up-to-date local copy of diasboro.club on my laptop - despite the usual odd quirks that get introduced in these thin...

Thanks for the opener Andy but I'm currently carrying out a site back-up ahead of software update so I may have to make the Discussion Forum read-only...

@forever-dormo Thanks Dormo and the decision of timing on when to move sites is tricky. Admittedly, it's a bit tight to do it this week as I'm go...

Thanks Andy and I may be emailing a Wordpres invite for you and OFB to become authors on the new site in the near future - plus anyone else who thinks...

Sorry my mistake Pedro - I meant to say a pint a month but must have got thirsty while typing 😉 So not anything around the £300 a year unless you'd dr...

Thanks for the comments everyone and the offers of chipping in financially but as I've mentioned the money aspect isn't an issue - finding time obviou...

@original-fat-bob I more than happy to let the regulars decided on how they could expand the membership and in the theory the new site could be rea...

Thanks Jarkko and after over six years running Diasboro I find myself taking the odd break from blogging sometimes as other activities demand my time....

Thanks OFB and yes it will good to have people able to register again - though again don't worry about the running costs as they are around the cost o...

Thanks KP and hope you're well too! While waiting until the summer has some advantages, I've got this end of March deadline on upgrading the software ...

Thanks John and hope you're progressing to better health - I think much depends on what plugins you add to Wordpress as some of them have security fla...

Thanks Exmil, though that list never seems to have an ending 😀 While I appreciate the offer, the normal running costs are negligible as I set up th...

Thought I'd pop in to keep everyone up to date on what I'm thinking on the future of Diasboro - while I'm not actively posting at the moment, I remain...

Well after the first half was played with all the enthusiasm worthy of a World Cup third place play-off and was more of a behind-closed-doors training...

It's almost like I'm still suffering from this strange depersonalistion-derealistion disorder, brought on by a winter World Cup and mid-season break a...

Feeling a bit dizzy after simultaneously watching Boro v Luton and Morocco v Portugal both with teams playing in red and all white - very confusing at...

Thanks for the great season-rebooting opener Andy, if I'm honest it's come a week too early as I'm still fully immersed in the football of the World C...

@powmillnaemore I believe as OFB's tune indicated it was in fact the red, white and blue of the US of A

Good to finally to see football making the headlines at the World Cup with an impressive display by England's young players yesterday - plus some inco...

@ken To avoid a duplicate post I copied your text from your second one with the added sentence over your first. Incidentally, I used a useful onl...

@ken I suspect withdrawal from the tournament is never going to happen given many England and other supporters have probably paid a fortune to foll...

@powmillnaemore Not at all surprising as we all know FIFA only has one love... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

As for the football World Cup... well it's a tough one for many - even my 12-year old son who has never shown any interest in football asked me yester...

@ken Yes I watched Rugby League wheelchair final on Friday and it was a fantastic game to watch, really exciting with great skill and bravery on sh...

I was perhaps a little hasty in making this earlier statement as I've just read this morning that the man who is regarded as a personal friend of both...

@andy-r And I thought writing about Boro was your guilty pleasure 😉

@forever-dormo I seem to recall that I've heard that 'Dear Harry Kane' play on Radio 4 previously - hard to imagine being driven to become a migran...

While I'm uncomfortable with many aspects of Qatar as the host of the impending World Cup, I personally think I'm now edging towards accepting that it...

Thanks Ken - btw I've actually ended up watching a few of the Rugby League Wheelchair matches and found them great viewing - you're right about them b...

@martin-bellamy Maybe you're on to something - who knows why Prince Charles was given €3m in carrier bags by the Qatari Prime Minister but can't ha...
