"We hate Nottingham Forest,
We hate Arsenal too,
We hate Man United,
But Derby we love you"
I think the whole nation can get behind that one.

Ticketless Scottish fans in their thousands seem to be enjoying their selfs in London at the minute. So much for go home if you don’t have a ticket! 
 

Everyday is an education on this site, even if I don't learn anything new about our club's fate!

I really don't like the format with 24 teams and the 4 out of 6 third placed in groups go through just seems such a clumsy mechanism.
Even having 8 groups of 3 teams with 2 going through to a round of 16 knockout would be better. Personally though I'd just have it as 16 teams for the Euros. by the time it's 32 teams it's a crazy amount of games. Although 32 teams might allow more regular participation from Scotland.

Its a difficult balance of keeping the tournament open to smaller nations without diluting the quality too much
Its great having new nations like North Macedonia and Finland qualify for the first time
I think if you're going to expand it you may as well go to 32, each team doesn't play anymore games than a 24 team tournament but does maintain competitiveness in the groups.
Theres probably a clever solution I have not thought of

The one thing that really irritates me is that the away team’s national anthem is booed at Wembley.  It’s incredibly disrespectful.

Yea its really flawed.
Austria probably weighed it up and decided it was better to avoid conceding another than try to score.
They'd be better off just expanding to a full 32 team tournament just to keep it competitive
World cup is going up to 48 teams and will have the same problem

Yeah ...."slim fit" is really not a helpful idea

It's not a right and wrong debate regardig wycombe, it's a "do we have a case that keeps us up at the expense of Derby, well, we've got to try it" it's not moral, it's legal/political corner to fight and they're doing just that.

But won't anyone think of Steve Gibson?
He's still pacing around his box at the riverside talking to invisibe people about the upcoming play off matches and how Boro are going to have to make some smart recruitment during the 19/20 premier league season, but Tony has got the x factor that a thrusting dynamic side like Middlesbrough need. He keeps asking if it's confirmed to be Leeds utd, about catering arrangments.....it's all very sad.

Thats a great shirt. Might have been tempted, till I saw this bit
Please note these are slim fit, "Kappa style" kits so we would advise going a size or two up if you don't like a tight fit.

Yellow and black is a good colour combo, and yet every year they duck it up.

Our auditor accepted in the first proceedings that the notes were wonky
There’s an argument that the LAP is not a court of law, and that therefore it’s still open to the club to argue that the draft accounts were compliant. But I hope Mel doesn’t go there 

48 not out from Du Plooy eases us to victory, great to see him playing well again.

oh yes spain vs sweden as @RadioactiveWaste has said, completely forgot about that. Yeah, it has been really good- love a festival of football even if it's no good for my productivity ?

was it spain-sweden?

was it spain-sweden?

Been one 0-0 I think. But the standard has been very good. 

I would say there is one way that the Wednesday verdict can be used as a benchmark, in that they were not given any punishment for their actual accounting, purely for the overspend after their accounts had been corrected. Hopefully the DC view the unacceptability of our amortisation policy in a similar light to how Wednesday's DC viewed the unacceptability of their backdating of the stadium sale, and view it as a potential trigger for a serious offence rather than a serious offence within its own right.

Is that the one to the same tune as the old soviet Union anthem? 
It's a great melody.
