* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Blackburn Match-Day Thread *

Van Den Berg ahead of McNair is an interesting development.

I assume Engel and Smith are injured/sick.

Makes sense.. Shoddy McNair can’t cut the mustard.

A rare event has just occurred. I’m speechless, bereft of words.
I assume he is looking to grind out a 1-0 win. No McGree has me absolutely baffled. Let’s hope he knows what he’s doing.

He knows better than any of us [apart from you and me] exactly what hes doing

 

[Grover]

Tees said Hackney stays central with O’Brien on left?

 

[Laughing]

odd lineup. Only 1 goal in this game I think. 1-0 to boro.

And afternoon fellow boro supporters.

No McGree has me absolutely baffled.

McGree & Silvera both played for Australia against Mexico in Dallas, possibly considers them fit for 30 rather than 90.

So what about the other no shows

So that’s moot point

To be fair Jedi, mooting is exactly what we are doing.

Silvera played 16 minutes. The match was nearly a week ago. Tiredness can't surely be a factor in selection today.

Perhaps the baffling team selection will surprise us all with a win. Otherwise it's a return to our usual disappointment at 5pm on a saturday

 

[sambaDTR]

Keep it tight for 70 minutes then put the forwards on to win 2:0.

If it was in oz fair but it’s Texas.

 

[r00fie1]

Doesnt seem to be much of a Blackburn "crowd"?

 

[r00fie1]

 

[Trug]

COME ONNNN!!!!!

 

[r00fie1]

Three points!
Come On!

 

[futureboy]

Honestly, I don't mean to be crass, but why are we having a minute's silence for Morocco? It's a terrible tragedy, but (to channel Will from the Inbetweeners) it's really not relevant.

 

[Laughing]

Just used our get out of jail card there

 

[Smoginexile]

It's not great so far

 

[joeutb]

Should be 1-0 down there bloody hell

 

[sadgit]

Oh dear.... should be 1 down after 1 touch.
