    Well, I suppose I had better own up to being the Middlesbrough supporter

    Let's hear it for the town that gave us Terylene
    And the tune ends too soon for us all

        Of course Airdrieonians are still there, the one that disappeared was Meadowbank Thistle when it became Livingstone! But reading wiki and the likes it is not that straightforward as Clydebank and East Stirlingshire have an intertwined history and so do Clydebank and Airdrie Utd so though Airdrieonians are still there it is only because they've been away and come back. Finally on this tour of Scotland ends with Morton, now of course Greenock Morton. I mention them because as a teenager I remember them having a phenominally long unbeaten run and then losing one match and going on another one. (1963-4?).

          ...and several of what have become very unacceptable, albeit useful, plastic products. The Wednesday v Middlesbrough match this year will go down in the History of the Championship for the sacking of two managers. Middlesbrough wonand Monk was sacked. I think the Owls chairman must have thought that if he's bad we're going to look idiots if week keep Carlos. In the meantime Swansea were problem lining up Monk for a recall, but then for some reason decided Carlos was a better bet. Come May we'll know the truth, or maybe not.

                Top reporting as ever Rob. Shame about the falling apart at Southport. That's not a derby match is it? Let's get out a map .....

                Ah 60 miles apart so probably not. Excuse my ignorance

                  I've had a nasty cold, so like true fans , me and my mate flogged the tix for tomorrow and bought tix for the BHA game on the 31st instead.

                  That really is a crunch game.

                      Nearly a match for Truro being bundled by the table footers! As for the Owls in our current state stifling Warnock was probably a good result.

                        Never recovered from rubbish start, Rob. Concentrating on the league and the drive for promotion...obviously!

                            Thanks for the weekend reports ER.

                            just a glimmer of better times for us today. Certainly a point to be happy with.

                              Well done Sainty. Only one point but a defeat would have been much much worse to state the obvious!

                              BHA - now there’s a game!

                                Yep, should be a good one to be at.

                                i think the team has enough ability to get out of this mess. Our midfield must surely be as good as most outside of the top 6. However, the glaring lack of a quality striker, and the loss of last seasons CB pairing are issues that need addressing.
                                We played some good football again today, and didn't capitulate to a very good side.

                                Saints fans hoping to see Slimani incoming with all that VVD cash lying around.
