Last Rites And Fond Farewell's- Middlesbrough Write Up

[Eeyore]

Little to report, just my usual sideways take, and a few Albion song entries that made us all chuckle in the gloom...

[Sheebo]

Very good read

 

[portslade seagull]

Out of interest how many BHA fans made the trip ?

 

[Steve Foster]

Great read once again. To go to Teesdide & watch another CH negative side deserves more than a medal. Oh how the Albion have fallen away. If only there was something we could rally round...

Good turnout for a game we were expected to get thrashed in

"At this point such a lifeless description can normally be punctured by talk of a single account of individual brilliance, but for the life of me I can think of none."

The pathos is overwhelming. A most enjoyable read.

Indeed we played sparkling attacking football at Boro last season, didn't we.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Good work.

Another fine moment: when Boro got a corner in added time, & thousands of fans, both from us and Boro, were urging Konstantopoulos to go up for it

He didn't

 

[Official Old Man]

Great article. Half way down before the match gets a mention and even then only a little line or three.

Yes, perhaps I was a little more generous to it than it deserved.

 

[B52]

Agree, loved the video too.

That was funny. I'd completely forgotten the incident and couldn't work it out. I'm not sure if the keeper was sure as to whether he was meant to see the funny side or not.

Brilliant!
Humorous and life affirming in desolate circumstances!

I think it's a sense of humour that has got most of us through the season.

I do enjoy a lot of the wit at some of these away games. Albion fans do irony well.

Can design colours be changed? Very hard to read, blue text on a black background..

 

[The Oldman]

Excellent as ever.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

A very good read.

I'm glad that you went, but even more glad that I didn't.

 

[Mackenzie]

Great stuff. Well done [MENTION=29192]Brighton Lines[/MENTION].
