He’s a cockney, so I think he may be slightly interested.

There must be something around negative sponsorship and promotion. Watching Stick to Football which I love, but the Huel and LinkedIn sponsored had made me hate these brands!

Oh I’m not, lots can and will happen in those 5844 days

Every day I’m seeing this getting smaller and smaller, as it’s a nice small round number, I thought I’d try and figure out how many days I have until retirement… 5844! And that’s an optimistic age 🥴

Good considered read Craig 👍🏻 Let’s hope he hits the ground running. If so, the rest (fan base) will take care of its self.

It’s brilliant isn’t it. We did it yesterday. Injured but still managed to bag a Bernie Slaven like goal. 1 game, 1 goal, 100% record

The crowd was rampant with that Luton win, but the team soon quashed that hope & expectation with more slow pedestrian football. Team talk was simple, keep the crowd going and get out of the blocks quick - the crowd will take you over the line. Nah, he must have said the usual ‘stay calm, no rush’

I was indeed, went with my brother, my uncle and my girlfriends older brother who drove us there. Sick of Hillsborough by the end of the season

Dom it was another embarrassing performance from a ‘top pro’, the reality is he’s overweight, unfit and turns as fast as a JCB! It’s like playing with 9 outfield players, I’d rather have some youth running wildly around and being a nuisance- where is Sonny Finch!

What is our game plan? Go down early, but continue to slow a game down, move slowly, no urgency, no pace etc. Then yeah, last 10/15mins we think let’s go for it. Too little too late to rescue a game. I don’t understand it. #Boro

Let’s agree that Ininfatcho should be no where near this team at the moment, if ever! Could have done with a Josh Coburn tonight, instead we have a ELL from Wish and Dael Fucking Fry upfront. In another universe Josh is scoring for Millwall 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not sure if this helps. But he loves round the corner from me and currently has his house up for sale - you could go knock on it 🤣

It is. I’ve been there, semi final defeat to Arsenal at Old Trafford, it was spine tingling, but also sounding quite defeatist. When we finally lifted the cup in Cardiff, it seemed a defining moment of success for once, and the song seemed to die slowly from that day.

Aye, but the ‘rousing’ sounds of some of the grounds, when listened to in isolation are as drab as watching a Tony Pulis team, difference being historic relevance and fan buy in. Steel River has a lot of relevance but not the historic adoption, meaning the crowds not buying it.

Paddy_Baller @paddyballer.bsky.social · 27/02/2025
Why the hell the crowd doesn’t accept and go ahead with Steel River is beyond me. It’s us, all of us, wrote and sang by one of us, about us!

If Carrick goes, then Woodgate and co need to go with him! Woodgate has been part of 3 failed regimes, he’s lucky to be in this position 3rd time around. #Boro #UTB

Unfortunately Craig, the parents and advisors around these youngsters will point to the lack of opportunity for youngsters coming though the system and playing - the 2 AJs leaving highlights this. The only exception being ver the years is Hayden…

I feel we’ve the ingredients and infrastructure and as much as I like Carrick and like 99% of the fan base want him to succeed, I just think it’s now the inevitable. The more when, and not if, which is not a good position for anyone. He has that look of failure and self pity in his eyes now…

Paddy_Baller @paddyballer.bsky.social · 16/02/2025
I feel the same, seeing the names banded around to replace him, makes you want to keep him, but… I think it’s too late, it seems like the players have given up which is usually the last sign that the end is nigh

Not a chance, he’s part of the problem. One of them fail, they both fail

Anything other than a convincing performance and win, then the place will become very toxic quickly. As the minutes tick on without a goal, it’ll become more and more tense.

Paddy_Baller @paddyballer.bsky.social · 15/02/2025
Decided. I’m not going, spitting my dummy out and avoiding the possible toxic atmosphere. Spending time with the family instead COME ON BORO!

Great cover, that was my first season as a young lad supporting the Boro. I used to love running to the newsagents to get my weekly programme

Cut a frustrated figure most of the time, kept wanting this ball behind the defenders, never happened so he went chasing the ball. I’m not sure he’s our type of player, and I think I mean more hunger and mentality! #Boro

He’s losing the fan base at a rate of knots and I’m sure that isn’t going unnoticed above him! Even those die hard Carrick fans are starting to question him and his reluctance to change and address the most glaringly obvious issues. #Boro

It’s the reason I’m 60/40 against going to be honest.

My own barometer of failing = •Stopped looking to go to away games •Stopped listening to the managers ramblings. •Ignore social media But worst of all, season ticket holder and considering not going to a match. #Boro #UTB Fed up with the same old same old

Nah I seriously cannot see Woodgate following him, it’s a team so if one of them fail, they both fail.

Would anyone be surprised or disappointed to see a Boro post with this image and the usual ‘We’d like to thank… #Boro #UTB I think the majority of the fan base is now shifting towards a change of manager now.

Running out of words in my original reply, but expanding on the Trump/Musk comment - I’m meaning that those who we do enjoy interacting with on the other platforms are not joining this one for similar but opposite reasons of why we now hate that platform. Make this make sense 🤣

Why thank you Sir,

Paddy_Baller @paddyballer.bsky.social · 06/02/2025
I think that’s the audience and mass following you might have. I suppose I use it as a purely social platform unlike you who does want that hybrid business/social response and reach. This isn’t going to give you that reach for sometime, and in truth some of our followers LIKE Musk and Trump…
