Boro thread

I'm well aware this may not get answered for a while by a smoggie til they win a game and we lose but I've walked roseberry topping this morning (it was not enjoyable 🤦🏻‍♂️😂) then my mate had a drive around borough and we went to where ayresome park used to be as we both a little too young to have visited anyway came through Stockton on way home just for a drive out and my mate asked do boro fans hate Stockton lads fans like we dee durham mags??

I’m from Stockton and I’ve never really had any bother being a Sunderland fan aside from the usual crack. All my mates mainly are Boro fans. Whenever we play Boro whatever the result we always show our faces after the game and have a pint and just as they take a loss on the chin and front up, so do we.
The issue is, there’s been plenty of Sunderland fans in Stockton / Billingham for years and years and it’s not just a handful. It’s not like it’s a rarity to see a Sunderland fan here whereas Durham mags (although since the takeover there’s more) is / was a bit more of a rarity.

What has always struck me as odd though is that every Sunderland fan I know round here is a match going fan and most do the aways too. In my group of mates who I went to school with there’s 1 or 2 who go to the Riverside, and on top of that, my wider social circle is exactly the same. So many don’t go to the Riverside and it’s always baffled me. Plenty of posting ‘UTB’ on socials but not bothered about going. You go to the pubs on a match day and there’s plenty of Boro lads in there watching the matches on the dodgy sticks but I just always think it’s mad how many choose not to get to the games.

Did we not once have a Billingham supporters branch walk round the sol a few years back
Was gobsmacked how many there were -think they had walked from Billingham to Sol unless I’m confused ?!( Charity ?)

I’ll probably know them mate!

Aye that’s been going a long time. I think the year we played them when Rusyn scored the same lads walked from the stadium of light to the riverside for the match, for charity. Great set of lads the Billingham branch. I was with most of them at Wembley this year

Of course it's cockiness.
A few people on a message board went on like you say (I wasn't one of em btw).
Albeit it ended with your promotion , but the season just gone is the first season in eight? years that you've finished above us, yet you lot (easy to generalise isn't it?) go on as if you 've left us behind, whilst a fair few are already calling the likes of Bournemouth and Brentford 'tinpot'.

And the 'we will stay up' is a tad premature really.
You may well stay up, but equally you could be marooned at the bottom by Christmas - possibly with us poised to pass you on the way.

These things have a habit of not lasting forever, as you last relegation from the premier league proved.

Bitter grapes lad.

You have gave it the big one like many other of your fans. Can't blame our lot for giving it back. If you dont like it dont post on a Sunderland forum its that simple.

If it was in the spirit of the thread?

And it didn't get in the way of your normal posting?

Would you ever consider posting about Middlesbrough Football Club?

few people have called those clubs tinpot just like thousands of football fans and most likely boro fans as well. maybe do a tinpot search on your forum? so easy to pick a period where one finished above the other, but look at the whole picture.... in fact, look at SAFC being in 3rd tier and still being more relevant than boro. At our lowest we still pissed on your attendence, we still had much more media coverage, we still were talked about more than you ever will be. So enjoy your what 7 seasons, you deserve it. tinpot boro

One of the best things that ever happened to SAFC was Charlton jacking the Boro in. They were a good team under him and missed out on Europe due to a last kick of the season goal……thankfully.
Summet I’d forgotten about totally until a Boro lad at work a few years back mentioned it was that Charlton went back to Boro as caretaker manager for a few games between Wednesday and the mags jobs and kept them up. I wonder if that was in Murray’s mind when he got Stokoe back?

How when you've locked your profile 🤣

Your always making snide remarks

Translated as : You can't show me because I don't 'give it the big one'.

I'm under no illusions about Boro - I've been going to matches for over 50 years so I know only too well what we're like.
All I've said (and still say) is that finishing above us for the first time in 8 years and managing one (deserved admittedly) promotion to the premier league seems to me a tad premature to be 'lording it' about how you're so much better than us.
Especially when our performances over that 50 year period has been similar (both had ups and downs), and you haven't even kicked off in the premier league yet.

Easy to accuse me of 'snide' remarks - more to do with the fact that I notice a lot of your supporters go on exactly what your support slag Newcastle fans off for.

we have won 6 league titles and 2 fa cups man. just start from the beginning. although we havent been a better team in the last 8 years except maybe 1 or 2 years., we have always been much bigger even in league one.

you mention this tinpot thing we say about other clubs... but just go to your forum and search tinpot, and see what your fans say about other clubs.
