Yeah, but only on 2 occasions... and it would be un-enforceable regardless as no way to know who was watching. It would make a total mockery of the nonsense EFL rule as well.

As far as i can work out, if a member of the public decides to rock up at Middlesbrough's training ground every week, and live-streams their "restricted" training sessions online for anyone to watch, there is absolutely nothing the league can do about it. Would get their fans absolutely frothing at the mouth as well.

Yes.

That's still way better than the away kit...

Maybe the plan is to nauseate and confuse the opposition? Also has another square back as well - i think these always look terrible when they break up stripes / patterns.

I reckon they're going for this... (and missing 😅)

Please don't tell me its meant to be there attempt of a pink sunset reflecting of rippling water... because ffs.

They were specifically asked if we would be keeping the core players (a couple of names were mentioned)... Spors was at great pains to give a politicians answer without promising they won't be sold - so the only take away you can make from that is that at least one more core player will likely be sold if the right offer comes in. Similarly, other than the striker position, he said that we were happy with the squad, accept for any replacements we need to make for players that leave... so i think there is a reasonable chance of losing another matchday squad player 🤷‍♂️ Also made it very clear that we'll see significant numbers of (squad bloat) exits in the coming weeks...

I thought it was a much more interesting forum than usual. Most of the questions and responses were detailed. The 2 absolute waster ones for me was the absolute dinlow who asked about how the players are going to earn the fan's forgiveness (seriously? ), and then the one where they asked Parsons if he'd like to fess up to any more rule breaks. I also agree. the length of time we had to wait for him to ask about square backs on shirts... how? 😄 selfishly i was hoping he was going to ask about future inclusions of navy trim, or at least whether the club look at the popular fan mock ups etc.. Thinking back on it today, one of the more interesting takes was that Parsons in effect openly accused Middlesbrough or being disingenuous and playing a game over the whole spygate incident to try and trick their way to Wembley, as well as accusing the EFL of being disingenuous. Not sure that was particularly well advised given we're still not out of trouble yet with the FA and it shows the opposite of contrition by the club.

So much for the much hyped Bristol city in their opening game!

Promising form in pre season, I like the idea of a manager promoted from within who has been at various levels of the club over a number of years. Feels a good fit for the hoped for resurgence. Fingers crossed you guys get promoted this year!

He also stated that our lawyers are involved in the process, which is good to hear.

No, it was the Crawley manager.

Not sure even MLG would have spotted that one 🤯😲

We have a stronger squad currently than the one that just went 21 league games unbeaten, knocked the English champions out of the cup, and nearly dumped Man City's "galacticos" out of the fa cup semi final at wembley (only really losing to a deflected outside of the box bouncing shot deep into the game...
