Camsell must have done a few of them?  Him and George Elliott maybe?

No, our first game against Plymouth was long after those two goalscoring legends hung up their boot, August 1954 was our first meeting on Teesside

No, I mean out of the 25 times someone had scored 4 goals in a game for us.

Sorry Changing Times, I misunderstood you there, oh yea, George Camsell scored 4 goals in one game 9 times, 5 goals twice

George Elliott, only scored 4 goals in one game the once

Alan Kernaghan scores our third goal in a 3-1 home win over Plymouth, April 1987

Boro cruising 3-0 with minutes to go when we conceded & Bruce was livid saying that goal could cost us promotion

He was almost spot on, although the ending was so untypical Boro & those playoff games will live with us forever just check the ending league table with us & Villa on the same points & GD 

 

Erimus, that is 1988 I think.

A supernatural being says they are sending you back to 1980. You can’t come back to the present. You can bring 5 things with you. What would you bring?

You been watching Goodnight Sweetheart? 

1. Lottery numbers for the very first National Lottery. In just 14 years time i'll be a millionaire!

2. My wife and kids

3. My car. I first learned to drive in a 1987 fiat panda and believe me it was NOT fun. Thank the heavens for power steering is all i'll say.

4. The complete Adrian Mole diaries. I re-read the series a few times a year. Harry Potter too, but I can wait for that.

5. My Anbernic RG353V. All the retro games (the vast majority of which won't exist in 1980!) in the palm of my hand.

There is a button that, when pressed, instantly kills a random person in the world but gives you £10,000. Pressing it again multiplies both numbers by 10. How many times are you willing to press the button?

I mean, there's a chance it could kill me, or my wife or children, so i'm not gonna press that button.

You find a book and begin to read only to discover that it is your life. You get to the point that you are at now. Do you turn the page knowing that you will not be able to change the events to come?

No. Best leave the future where it is, whatever will be, will be and all that.

2-1 Boro, Azaz and McGree

Edited February 22, 20242 yr by Denzel Zanzibar

Got to be winning this to continue the morale boost from Leicester. The team will surely be on a high from it. Azaz is bound to score again as well. I'll go 3-1 Boro. Fingers crossed Dieng is back in the team.

5 copies of the book of my life (see below). I'd leave them in random book shops and try and start a religion after myself.

10 times. Solve overpopulation and an appropriate redistribution of wealth (I.e all of it to me) in one go.

But... there aren't any more pages lef.... oh s***, shouldn't have pressed that button.

Certainly is Hammy, my mistake 😔👍

I'm actually really looking forward to this one, funnily enough.

Realistic play-off hopes are stamped out, so it's just a chance to try and put on a performance.

Plymouth still aren't safe, so they'll not be treating it lightly, but I hope we hammer them and they find the points to stay up elsewhere.

Would like to go there next season if it falls on a good day for me, so I want them to stay up, I also said I'd like to go there this season too though and I bottled the journey 🤷‍♂️

I'm imagining your face resembling Bruce Willis's at the end of Looper, when he realises he's got one second left to live and then promptly winks out of existence.

FFS, spoiler alert. I was planning on watching that tonight. Won't bother now. I'll watch the The Sixth Sense instead. 

Willie Falconer's wind assisted, dipping, bending, 25 yard wonder strike against Plymouth (with Shilton in goal) is one of my favourite Boro goals. 

Chest > half volley > outside of the boot > get in!
