Blanco 4,916 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Other than the wrong match day it is a good post Barnaby. It does seem to be a “nearer the church the further from God’ situation with a lot of Boro fans. Sunday showed a lot of things to be positive about. UTB Link to post Share on other sites

Changing Times 12,339 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 You should have let him travel up tonight and get even more radged when he realised the game was tomorrow, it would be hilarious 😀 - I've done the travelling all over watching Boro, you don't get a medal for it, you just do it because you want to do it. It also doesn't make you any different to any other Boro fan. - We do have an inexperienced management team although some might suggest the word that you're really looking for is cheap. There's not a great deal of evidence to suggest that they are learning as they go, which is probably why we've only won 2 out of 17 games this season, haven't won in the last 10 games and haven't won since the middle of September. - Gibson was putting whatever money he was into his own business. That's what you do when you run it at a massive loss, you have to fund the shortfall. The entire reason there were financial issues was because he allowed the club to overspend and did so in such a way as to create long term problems. If you keep making *** poor decisions then it's right that it costs you rather than other people although as it happens it did cost us other people as well. - Hardly any of our players are making a step up from our youth set up or from lower leagues. Randolph, Johnson, Fry, Ayala, Howson, Dijksteel, Wing, McNair, Tavernier, Fletcher (Clayton 45), Assombalonga. That was our team on Sunday. It's not inexperienced or full of lower league players and people need to stop using this as an excuse. - I'm a Boro fan and that means I'll be a Boro fan next season regardless of which division we're in but I'm buggered if I'm going to be happy with a team that can barely win a game. Just like you I've seen that before and it usually ends in relegation and there's no reason to just go along with that as though it's ok. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,242 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 It's possible to love the club and follow every match yet hold valid concerns and reservations about what is going on. Some people act like accepting cutting the cloth means accepting abysmal results too... plenty of teams compete at the top end of the Championship with smaller budgets than us. Look at Preston in 3rd. We have individuals worth more than their squad. Making Gibson an untouchable God beyond reproach helps nobody. Yes, neither does booing the side, but fans are right to feel let down with how the club has been managed ever since the promotion season. So much wasted money and potential. If you're served a s*** sandwich, then smile, say thank-you, and eat every last crumb - guess what's for dinner again tomorrow night? 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Use the time beforehand to take in the sight and attractions of Smogtown. 😉 Must be why it costs him every spare penny (kudos to him for that). Link to post Share on other sites
