  1. So we let Boro buy him then loan him in. All criteria satisfied.
  2. Hate to break it to you, guys, but I've been signed up as mascot. Middlesbrough connection and useless.
  3. The issue is, for a lot of people, if they can only get two a few matches because of work commitments, childcare, transport or whatever, it makes no sense to buy a season ticket. However they want to attend the matches they can get to. Off putting then to be asked for £32. For me £30 is a barrier. Not because I can't afford more but because it just seems too much. I dont want things on the cheap but I do want them within my reasonable range
  4. Can any of them play centre back?
  5. They share it with London Irish RUFC
  6. Brentford signed Wissa from Lorient this week. He was on their bench last n8ght
  7. No. I thought it was over the top. Celebrate, yes, but there's a long season still to go. And it'll be all over our Facebook because we have Brentford supporting relatives
  8. They celebrated like they'd won the league! It's one game. They may keep doing it but who knows?
  9. When you've spent years cooking for a husband and 4 kids after a day at work you might understand my attitude! Only time they ever dared complain, I packed my bags, got in the car and drove half way to my mum and dad's house on Teesside before I thought better of it. When I got back the kids had cleared up, cleaned up and got ready for bed. They never complained again.
  10. My answer would be, if you don't like how I've done it, do it yourself next time
  11. My taste at 6am is to be asleep!
  12. We used to get Ringtons delivered when I ws a kid.
  13. I'm not making a special case for Yorkshire but there's a lot more than that missing regularly with england t20s and odis included just as there are at Lancs.
  14. I think the Souness era was the most fun my family had as Rovers fans. We travelled all over the place because we loved watching the team. We didn't always win, but you always felt we could.
  15. Nobody is wrong because its genuinely about feelings and perceptions. I've explained why I dislike Mowbray. I appreciate that for many he's nowhere near Kean in being loathed. Just to get facts out there. I took part in most of the protests when Kean was manager. I didn't want Kean here. I dont want Mowbray here.
  16. Who said they'd have either as manager?
  17. It's opinion. I think I find Mowbray worse because I want him to be a good guy. The guy sounds like so many men from my childhood; he comes from my home. It's therefore far more disappointing when he lets me and my team down. I appreciate that for some, if not most of you, Kean was far worse. I think for me it's the disappointment added to everything else. Kean was the more obviously villainous but then I very quickly knew he was. Mowbray appears a decent honest guy but then he lets you down again.
  18. I didn't say I liked, respected or wanted either of them as manager. Just that Kean was blatantly a chancer and a villain, whereas Mowbray is somehow still pulling the wool over some people's eyes
  19. I actually prefer Kean to Mowbray because at least most people saw through him fairly early on. It took a long time for him to go but we knew he would eventually. I can't see a day when Mowbray goes, and some fans still seem to support/feel sorry for him. in Kean's day we still had the odd good player and we did at least get some entertaining football. There were some decent stories about the players getting angry at Kean. Nowadays they just go to sleep when Mowbray starts talking.
  20. Hasn't the physio left too or am I misremembering?
  21. Not me. It was blocked when I went in. They all were.
  22. You have. I stopped listening a couple of years ago and it's done wonders for my mental health
  23. I thought it was as much a pen as a lot I've seen and I was pretty much in line with it. Certainly most in the BBE near me thought it was but then at that point we'd have shouted for anything I think. I was surprised not to see it mentioned anywhere else.
  24. Can they afford someone to unblock the ladies loos?
