  1. Special mention to Luke Ayling, Just given an interview on bbc tees. Despite his stammer, the man does not shy away and puts himself forward for such things when no one would blame him for taking a back seat on such matters. Whatever happens in summer, he been a solid signing and I have massive respect for him as a man.

  2. 29th February 2004 a day us Boro fans thought we would never see, well I know I thought that I can still remember when I started work as a 17 year old back in 1977 & going on in our works cabin about how good the Boro were & watch us this season under John Neal, we'll finish high up the league & win the FAC One of the older lads then said to me, I'll bet you whatever, the Boro will not win anything before your 21st, so I took him up on it, though to be honest, we both knew that within 12 months we wouldn't be working together, but anyway, I was convinced we were on the ve

Can't demand new gaffer, chairman and director of football every time the club goes on a bad run of games man Give him a new contract while his stocks lower and find a crowbar to finally open that warchest in the summer

Talks are said to have been positive, with all parties keen to conclude the deal. As for key players in Carrick's squad, there are understood to have been po

  13. I see Mark is stepping down as chair citing that he's had abuse online and on the street about the ticket prices. Any Boro fan who is involved in that should be well and truly ashamed of yourself. If you're on this forum and you engaged in that, own up and/or get lost. Despicable human beings. I'm absolutely furious. Mark is the most dedicated person to this cause and has worked tirelessly in his own time to deliver for fans. The fact it has in any way come down to the reactions of our own fans to him and his work that he has to take this step is absolutely infuriating. I honestly can't p

  16. Many thanks @boro-unger It’s quite a similar story to ours. My little girl was born on the 27th September 2023 and came home in the second week of January 2024. She was the smallest baby born in 2023 in Leeds to survive at 600 grams. She’s now laid on me asleep just pushing 7lbs 🙂

  17. Im not mad or angry tonight. It was a nearly game, at least you could see us trying and doing some good things. If jones shot goes lower or Silvera taps it in we win again. We turned up in parts today, Ironically the games against Sheff wed and Stoke we didn’t and if we played like today we would have won. The fact we’re talking about being gutted about being off the play offs is a good sign because we’ve turned a corner. Im happy we’re looking up and not looking down anymore so that’ll do for me until the end of the season

  19. They say a week is a long time in politics, it's even longer in football. At 5pm on Wednesday, we were wondering if we would pick up enough points to avoid relegation and dreading being turned over by a resurgent Norwich. At 5pm on Saturday, people were starting to calculate how many points we would need to pick up to have a chance at the playoffs. Really, we're a classic mid-table team this season. The hope is that enough of the projects we signed last summer will come good to lay the foundation for a promotion push next season. We're also hoping that the difficulties we faced this seaso

  21. I'm glad that Carrick switched to the 5-2-1-2. Though, we were still opened up with some good play by Norwich at times before their sending off. For the first 30 minutes it was clear that Norwich we're in a very good vein with the way the dominated possession and looked incredible comfortable. Step forward Sainz to ruin their night by getting sent off incredibly cheaply; if it wasn't for that there was no chance of us coming back. We got lucky but still handled it well - especially considering our terrible form and lack of confidence. It's obviously a lot easier to play against 10 men but I wa

  29. Numerous people have acknowledged the crippling impact of injuries on our squad this season, and the disruption that's caused. However, when people talk about playing our best XI, they're talking about leaving Dieng on the naughty step to play Glover. They're talking about playing Greenwood ahead of...well, anyone. They're talking about playing crap loan players in front of similarly crap players we own and are supposed to be improving so we can eventually make a profit on them. These are decisions made by the coaching staff, and they look plain wrong from many people's perspective. When

  33. That's the thing, and it's definitely how Gibson operates when he agrees to increase the funding. The problem we have at the moment is that we don't know if we have the foundations for a good team next season or not because this season has been so disrupted by injuries. Depending on whether you're a glass half-full type or not, we're either a couple of quality signings away or heading for league one. For example, O'Brien. One of the best midfielders in the league two years ago. In the next 12 games he might stay fit, get back to where he was and we might be able to get him off Forest for

  34. One lucky win - in a game that we could easily have been 3 nil down in the first 20 minutes - is not development in a season where we lose to Rotherham, Plymouth, etc. It's not a bad day, it's a bad season. Worst start to a season ever, indifferent ever since, the absolute dross today and nothing changes in our tactics. May?

  35. This really is a massive development from where we were a few years ago, everyone involved in the continuing fight and getting the fans to the table and being able to sit there and have frank discussions about tickets with Gibson, particularly those recognised publicly by the club, is miles from where we were when I joined MSF. To then be able to fight for any price decrease, particularly one which will impact families outside of the Family Zone, is big. Massive thank you to @boro-unger for taking the role on and helping to get us there from our perspective. And to @Mark_MSF for his conti

  36. For info, the meeting tonight was MSF + Red Faction + Steve + Neil Bausor + other club reps. It was a passionate meeting with lots of views aired. There will be a likely joint statement from the club and MSF tomorrow (or latest Thurs) But essentially some concessions were agreed with the club, and they have agreed to better inclusion of MSF in the decision making for deadlines and wording of renewal emails in future. The club held their hands up to the misstep regarding the short early bird deadline. The RF did not want to be part of the above mentioned statement as they want to go

  39. Have read and though not fully understood the tit for tat comments between forum members about last nights game. The way I perceive things is that Boro have had an awful season for many contributing reasons so I will happily take a win wherever they come and under any questionable circumstances as it means we have a higher chance of staying in the Championship next season. I certainly went to bed in a better mood than I did on Saturday. It's gone and it's over the 3 points are gained now let's go and get another 3 points as soon as possible

  40. Despite incredible frustration and disappointment about the state of things at the moment I'm still happy to give Carrick more time to turn things around - no matter how out of his depth he looks right now. We've got a 0.7% chance of relegation according to a statistics graphic I've seen so I'm not particularly worried about it despite the emotions. The main logic in keeping Carrick is that he's shown what he's capable of last season as he's shown that if he's given the quality, he can get us performing to a very high standard. Given we're going into a new 3 year cycle and seem to be sat on so

  43. That's a few games lately where Carrick has moved players positions around at half time. At some point he might want to consider just playing the players in their regular positions from the start instead of trying to be clever.

  46. Pleased to see the positive statement from the club. They have now righted a lot of the wrongs that came with the early bird announcement. Prices for young people, lack of appreciation and the early bird deadline. I will note that certain members of MSF (especially Rob, Mark and John Donovan) were just as influential as the RF in securing the meeting (I wasnt actively involved in planning the meeting, but as far as I'm aware, the meeting was happening anyway and RF were then persuaded to join by MSF) as well as the u18 price freeze/reduction and commitment to future dicussions about price

      VAR should only be used to correct wrong decisions. The game is reffed as normal, a couple of guys watch a replay and if it’s obviously wrong they correct it. If the ref isn’t sure he asks for a check, or just checks himself on the monitor. I get not flagging for possible offside one on ones, surely the linesman could just say on the mic he thinks it’s offside and ask for a check. As it stands it seems like VAR is running the game and the ref is just a mouth piece on the pitch.

      Agree but I’d include Lath, Mcgree, Jones, Azaz and Bangura in that, plus probably all the CBs. Not saying all of them should be nailed on starters but they all have the quality to be part of a promotion team wether from the bench or starting.

      I'd take Dieng, Hackney and VDB and ringfence those three. Regarding the rest of the squad I'm honestly not bothered who stays or who goes in the Summer.

      That's good to hear . I know it might not be like 1986 or 2004 but we might just have 3 or 4 first teamers coming through.
