  1. From what I've seen so far I'd rather have Reach in the side than de Pena and I'd much rather have Downing in the middle than Fabbrini so for me that leaves Reach competing with Adomah for the left hand attacking role. However, it's probably easier for the club to send Reach out on loan than de Pena so I'm not sure if things will work out that way for the rest of the season.

     

    Agree with that 100%, Reach is underrated by a lot of Boro fans. Ideally De Pena would go out on loan.

  2. Any word on the drum and flags returning b53?

     

    The last lad is back in January so not till then. We've got new scarfs available on our social media pages too, again all proceeds go towards displays and improving the fan culture.

  3. Now then,

     

    As part of the clubs approaching 140yr anniversary the Red Faction supporters group are organising a few charity events. We're looking to organise a 11 a side match with each player paying a small fee and the collective total going to a local charity. The OneBoro forum would be an ideal opposition if you would be up for getting a team together?

     

    Dates, venue etc are flexible so let me know if you fancy putting this together.

     

    Regards. UTB.

  4. Was dragged along to Ayresome Park in the early 90's and was instantly mesmerised by the singing and atmosphere rather than the free flowing football. A couple of years later and Robson arrived and things went mental. I feel very lucky to have grown up following a really exciting team, God knows how parents managed to get their kids to go during the Southgate/Strachen/Mowbray era!

  5. I dreamed a dream of Premier League,

    When hope was high,

    And games worth playing,

    I dreamed that bamford would score five,

    I dreamed the ref would be forgiving.

     

    Then I was young and unafraid,

    And chances were made and used and wasted,

    There were no heroes to be made,

    No song unsung,

    No pass untested,

    Norwich were better on the night,

    With their play we were left asunder,

    As they tear your hopes apart,

    And they turn your dream to pain.

     

    And still I dream aitor will stay,

    That we'll get promoted together,

    But there are dreams that cannot be,

    And there are balls that we can't defend,

    I had a dream next season would be,

    Played up in the premier division,

    So different now from what it seemed,

    Now Delia has killed,

    The dream I dreamed.

     

    I've heard a far more unsavoury chant doing the rounds about Delia.

  6. Yesterday's starting 11 was more like something you'd put out in the early rounds of the cup. Aitor has underestimated Bristol City and its bitten him on the backside.

     

    More worrying still is that we still don't look capable of coming from behind. I prey we learn our lessons fast this season or there's no chance of a top two finish.

  7. "Stewards really make me laugh, give these idiots a yellow jacket and they think they rule the world!"

     

    Really don't want this to turn into an us/them thing. The vast majority of stewards are sound as a pound. Likewise RF can't be responsible when some divvy starts misbehaving in the South Stand.

  8. Great to see supportive posts on here. As one of the lads effected I wouldn't describe my behaviour as 'thuggish' but everyone's entitled to their opinion. We're hoping to have successful appeals as some of the accusations are frankly laughable, we very much hope to be back supporting the team very soon. If anybody would like to show support for the group they could drop MFC an email at supporters@mfc.co.uk

     

    Cheers for the support. UTB.

  9. There were a bunch of Preston Fans at our hotel by Wembley, and in passing conversation after their win I said "aye hopefully we don't see you next year!" You can't write these things!

     

    Think everyone is saying the same 11 pretty much as i would. For some reason I haven't got a good feeling about it, don't know why, but I'll still say 2-0 Kike and Adomah. UTB.

     

    I'm sure there was a handful in Trafalgar Square too, though my memory is a little fuzzy. Preston are gonna be well up for it, cannot wait for kick off.

  10. New Tshirts. All proceeds going to creating more flags, banners and displays in the Riverside. Please use the Family and Friends option when using PayPal.

  11. How do you think English clubs can reinvigorate the terraces that were once the envy of the world but now seem sanitised, quiet and passionless.

     

    Plenty of European leagues manage to have modern safe stadia without loosing the culture, colour and noise. Can the changes be reversed or is supporter culture in the UK dead?
