In the 5 plus decades I've been following Boro you gradually develop some immunity to it, only some, but it does help to minimise the extremes of the symptoms. It's the foundation of "Typical Boro". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it was only a one goal lead, remember that time we were 4-1 up against Norwich with 10 mins to go and still managed to draw? 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching Match of the Day that night with a Rangers fan, neither of us knowing the score, and his volcanic laughter as it got to 4-4. Arguably our worst capitulation of the Riverside era.

Most of my time has seen us in the second tier, going out of business at it's lowest point and the temporary highs of Jack Charlton, Juninho, Rav etc., Cardiff, then it ending in Eindhoven little did we know at the time. I'm sure Chelsea fans are a depressed lot at the minute after their glory years and Spurs fans forever the optimists. I remember vaguely Liverpool pre Shankly and who would have thought the ride their fans were about to embark on in the mid sixties. I guess Rotherham fans like Plymouth etc. just accept their lot while fans of Darlo must despair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Codger 4,269 4.9k Posted February 7, 2024 Share Posted February 7, 2024 Think the most disappointed I ever was about a game was the day we were leading Newcastle 3-1 with 2 minutes to go and managed to salvage a draw after both their full backs scored. Not the sort of result needed with three skunks in the office 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
