14 points off relegation with our next 6 matches versus teams below us all scrapping away!

No! I don’t think we are going down, not for one minute but it puts in perspective how much our season has disintegrated to mid table obscurity & scrappy matches to look forward to!

Very disappointing #UTB

“Durex” v “Ralgex”

Burnley keeper sponsored by Durex! “The ultimate protection” 9 goals conceded!

#Boro (4 keepers) sponsored by Ralgex! “Soothes muscle & joint pain” 39 goals conceded!

39 times picking the ball out of the net - enough to do anyone’s back in!

We need more protection! #UTB

Just a reminder #boro on itv4 Monday night!

An opportunity to watch on terrestrial TV for those not going to the game!

Latte Lath potential Atlanta transfer. Rumours reported it’s not happening.

The MLS transfer window doesn’t open until this Friday 31st & is open til 23rd April.

#Boro closes Monday but am I right in thinking he can still sign for them up to April 23rd.

It’s approx 12 week window. (Cont…)

Potter in at West Ham
Dyche gone at Everton

Moyes into Everton for the double?
January 9, 2025 at 4:42 PM
Moyes to Everton
Potter to West Ham

Will it happen? The Premier League managerial revolving door continues! Or does it?

At least we’ve got super Michael Carrick. Stick with him! #UTB

#Boro 2025 off to a win

“Gilbert gives the Tigers a flick in the balls” 🐅

If you’re gonna do it, do it in the 93rd minute! ⚽️

We deserved that win!

3 points again Saturday please🙏

The WINDOW is OPEN

Who is heading to #Boro

Who is heading out?

Any thoughts?

Anyway “Happy New Year” to all Boro fans 🙏

Let’s hope for 3 points at Hull today 🤞

What day is it?

A 3 point day would be nice! 🙏

A positive step by #Boro 👏

Only chance of getting bums on seats for a 12 noon KO after a busy Christmas schedule!

Kids from £5 and reduced adult tickets was the only way forward.

It’s taken me this long to realise Chelsea Manager Enzo Maresca was Man of the Match in the 2006 UEFA Cup Final v #Boro
Scored 2 goals.

That season was incredible. Boro just 1 of 19 teams to play in a major European Final. I was at the game. I knew at the time it may be unique in our history #UTB

Excellent night tonight at York Barbican!

Outstanding music - Jools Holland is a national treasure!

Marc Almond brilliant! Can’t believe the last time I saw him live I think was with softcell at the “Kirk” in 1981 😳

Ruby Turner effortlessly class tonight! What a voice!

Feel good stuff 👏

Hickton is owned by a bunch of us #Boro fans and runs in the Red & White colours of The Riverside Racing Syndicate.

He’s had a quiet 2024 as a 2yo but is at a winter retreat until he goes back into training for the 2025 season.

Hopefully he’ll score for us next season 🤞
December 8, 2024 at 10:31 PM
Big John Hickton was my first #Boro centre forward hero!

A proper #9

That shirt is not only iconic but my favourite away kit! 👏

I’ve even got shares in a racehorse named after Big John - “Hickton” he’s having his winter break at the moment!

4 talented young Yorkshire lads grouped nicely in the DP World Tour ⛳️

Tough day 2 today for all the field, but at +2 all 4 are capable of a decent weekend & top 10 finishes!

Just 7 shots off the lead ahead of weekend.

They’ll be having some banter in the clubhouse on who’s coming out on top 😂

Many political figures are tipped for Knighthoods. There’ll be much dissent! 🤬

Played in the East Riding Alliance ⛳️ at Filey Golf Club today!

An eerie, atmospheric foggy morning!

First tee and green photos!

Huge credit to the team at Filey. Course was in great condition!

A game of ‘spot the ball’ to start with but a -1 under score of 70 made for an enjoyable day

(Part 2) these are goals 7-10

How lucky I feel being a fan watching goals like these home and away.

Better still watching international world class players playing for #Boro

What is your favourite of these 10 Premier League goals?

I’m thinking Luke Young 🤔

#UTB

@borochubster.bsky.social sent me this #Boro

Had to share (2 parts) Got goosebumps watching!

What’s your favourite “Thunderbastard”

I Can’t choose! Rochemback (1 of 8 against Citeh?) Emerson away at Mackems (I was behind the goal) Luke Young 🤯

Saw 9 of 10 live but not Hasselbaink at Citeh! #UTB

Meh! Not the most exciting draw for #Boro but a chance to put right the wrongs of the league game 🤞

But…I’ve got to say the nerves, anticipation & excitement of the 3rd round draw remains THE BEST draw in world football! Still get the butterflies as the balls are drawn!

Tamworth v Spurs 👏

10 years ago today I lost my mam. She was everything to me. Life isn’t infinite, but love is.

A huge #Boro fan, took me to my 1st match age 4 in ‘67. Then season tickets for 25 years at Ayresome Park.

Nana to my 4 girls ❤️

Watched me play at Riverside 2003 made her day!

Miss you mam 🙏 #UTB #RIP
