    Boro supporter groups or pubs around the world

    Got a mate who works for PD Ports. He tells me he has got to know some football-mad Romanian crew members off a regular visiting ship. Some fondly remember ‘Middlesbrough’ from our UEFA Cup run and us beating Steaua - because they are Dinamo Bucharest fans ! One guy and his missus own a...

    Harry Kane scan on ankle - apparently fine.

    Wilson coming in against the U.S.A. might not be a bad thing. Their central defenders struggled with the physicality when Moore came on for Wales the other night. Wilson’s pace n more direct style might just ruffle a few feathers n create openings for others ? 🤞
