Cheers Rob, That's really kind. I have followed all your Park Runs as well, and that has helped. In the nicest possible way, I felt "well, if Rob can do it, so can I" And in 18 days, I will find out!! Cheers for the donation

Hi all - not posted here for a good while - Boro have kind of floated off my radar in the last few years really - despite being back in the North East again. I am now on the board at Redcar Athletic FC - in the Northern League, Division 1. Anyway, I digress - I am running the Great North Run...

I interviewed Peter Solowka as part of the Something Left Behind film - he and David are still very much in touch. The Ukrainians first LP and CD are back on sale now at scopitones.co.uk - all proceeds going to charity based in Ukraine.

I was at the same game - as a Widnes fan - we had just moved to the area from the NE. Went to the replay a few days later, at Elland Road - Widnes lost, obviously!

Genuinely worried about the Derby match.

One of my favourite nights as a Boro fan. Of all the goals i have celebrated over the years, the Brennan winner would be up there as the wildest. Ended up on my knees in a puddle at the front of the away end. Up there with Slaven's in the semi at Old Trafford

Well, he kicked Johnson's rear end all over the place today, again. There is no contest between these two. Show me where Starmer broke the law. Show me when he lied to the House. Show me when he got sacked for lying.

Starmer hasn't lied to the Commons, broken the ministerial code at least 3 times, and attended illegal parties though, has he?

Just an observation. Until about 2 or 3 months ago, political threads were generally very lively, with people making points on either side of an argument. There is barely anybody is backing Boris anymore - either nationally, or indeed on this board. It feels like it's only a matter of time...

The "Uncomfortable Truth" is that the Tories are just doing what they always do - they are just doing it particularly badly and callously this time round. They consistently and chronically under-invest in anything related to Well-Being and Welfare - that's their "Modus Operendae" - they are...

That's quite a read -hard to argue with the assumption that he was (and remains) a bad 'un.

Appreciate the detail there. Assuming that is the case (and I have read substantially less about this then you will have done), would that not mean that a club could effectively throw the kitchen sink financially at gaining promotion / avoiding relegation - effectively ignoring FFP - so long as...

Is it not the case (potentially) that we dont have to prove that, if we were able to prove that the punishment that should have been applied was a points deduction in that particular season? If we were able to demonstrate that according to the rules, their points deduction should have been...

I dont understand honestly why people think Newcastle are likely to stay up. In 2021, their "points per game" was worse than ANYONE in the top 4 divisions. One win all season so far. And who is going to sign for them, in reality? They are only going to get players coming to the end of their...

Exactly this. The overwhelming majority of people using Food Banks in the area I work in are working and seriously struggling. If you were already struggling "a bit" , and then the cost of your energy bills shot up, at precisely the same time as petrol shot up, you could well go from "getting...

Without wanting to make an obviously political point...... Food Banks barely even existed before the Tories came to power under Cameron. Now there are several thousand being used, every single day. Seeing Conservative MPs all doing those visits on the same day last year for the photo...

I work in North Tyneside / South Northumberland at the moment (in Social Care), and am a trustee of a series of Food Banks there - we have just finished our Quarterly Meeting, and it was absolutely heartbreaking. Demand in Ashington, Cramlington, Killingworth and Blyth is up 170% year on year...

Its pretty simple -- People switch their vote to get the "HATED" candidate out - People dont switch from Conservative to Labour or vice versa, they go to the candidate with the best chance of ousting the incumbent, with whom they have a little affinity. I have voted tactically in the past, but...

The level of voter apathy will only be truly tested at the next election - but rest assured, Boris will be long gone before then - the Conservative Party will display its' single most dominant trait well before that. Party first, always.

It was your Dad's influence. In my eyes now, the fact that the ref didnt spot the double kick from Zenden for the penalty was Pauliej Snr putting him off. Incidentally, of all the wonderful Boro moments, Stueua, promotions, etc - by a million miles my favourite Boro moment was when Ravanelli...
