The Last Chance Saloon?

It is not often thought to be a good idea to take Borochat as a barometer of public opinion on the Lamex terraces, but it does lead us to believe there has been a alarming increase in the number of people unhappy with the current management team. There’s also the …

We’ve Started, So We’ll Finish

In our constant search to draw a happy face on an otherwise sad, distressed body, we turn to Reason To Be Cheerful No.2873 ahead of the trip to Scunthorpe United. All runs have a start and all runs have an end; not even Forrest Gump continued on his epic jog …

Oldham. Newham. Whatever.

Before we stuck into this preview, there is quite possibly a horsemeat-meets-old-ham joke to be had somewhere, but we lack the humorous edge and dexterity of wit so badly needed to execute the gag. Therefore, you can take this as an attempt to get it out of our system so …

Insert Considered Response Here

Post-mortems are never pretty things to undertake. We’ve seen enough Silent Witness and the like to realise that much is true. But one is certainly needed after what was, in truth, an utterly abject display at Peter Griffin’s Park last night. The best thing we could say is that it …

As Time Goes By

How have the last couple of weeks been for you? We have spent a large chunk of that time twiddling our thumbs and gazing out of the window at the latest watery thing to fall out of the sky and plunge Britain into chaos. Not playing sucks. Having three weeks …

Bury’d Under Snow

Surprised? Not much. The postponement of tomorrow’s match was as likely as Sir Alex moaning about this, that or indeed the other. At the time of writing, we are hearing the areas in and around Greater Manchester are completely covered in snow to the point it looks like an additional …

Don Stop Believing!

Unless we’re mistaken, there is the hint of a feel good factor back in the air among Boro’s supporters courtesy of last week’s win at Crewe Alexandra. Now we contemplate our first home game of the New Year, and Doncaster Rovers’ first appearance at Broadhall Way in nearly nine years. …
