Oh look, the circus is back in town! If you make any link with the fact that our next game is against Cambridge United indoors, that’s all on you. We have every inch of respect for our near and, let’s face it, less enlightened neighbours. That sentence nearly escaped from …
It’s not that our FIFA 18 Verdict got it wrong last week, oh no. It’s that Boro’ failed to prove it right. Or at least fulfil its prophecy. You know it, we know it and Newport County know it too. They were lucky to come out just with a 1-0 …
Push pineapple, and shake that tree! Yes, it’s Mansfield Town indoors – part deux; a second crack at trying to get this fixture noted in the records as ‘Completed’. For our non-dom readers or those of you recently out of hibernation, the last time the Stags were meant to be …
One of those results, so it was. A 4-1 shallacking that, had our misunderstood FIFA 18 Verdict dared predict it, we’d have all rolled our eyes and gone “oh right, yeah”. That said, it’s rolling back into town after a one-match absence (Or is that ban? Ed.) for Newport County away. And let’s …
Oh, but wasn’t it written in the stars for all to see? That Dino’s first win as Boro’ boss would come convincingly at the expense of a, quite frankly, buggered Barnet? In the space of one Bank Holiday game, our gaffer saw us score more times against the Bees than …
Ooooh, the little tinker. It didn’t ‘arf go and get our hopes up last week. New gaffer, new chapter was our FIFA 18 Verdict’s, er, verdict. It didn’t turn out that way though, did it. Rather than stunning Colchester United with a trio of second half goals to take all …
Fix! Recount! False start! Er, what else is there?! So, who knew that Colchester United weren’t going to stick to the script last weekend? In his first match in charge of Boro’, new boss Dino Maamria wasn’t able to conjure up three points. Not so much a bang, but a …
It’s often been the case that our FIFA 18 Verdict has made it up as it went along. Not playing to form or type, it has taken the line that anything can happen on a Saturday afternoon. Now, with a new boss at the helm, it may have a point. …
Go on then. Tell us how you’ll do it. Tell us how you can make “Dino Maamria’s Barmy Army” or “Red and White Army” into a workable terrace tune. It’s the one thing we bet Phil didn’t think about when appointing our new gaffer. And it ain’t as if some of …
Now, a bit of time to let the dust to settle. A Monday inquest; not just into our failure to hold a two-goal lead for the second time in as many outings, but now also into what has – ultimately – cost a man his job. The chair in which …
