Compare the atmosphere from when we play the mags to when we play Boro and that gives you your answer.

Is Boro a derby?
- Thread starter Snaggles01
- Start date
No, though it does have slightly more edge than a usual game. But that's only because they insist on it being a derby so it builds up a level of annoyance. In contrast am still upset and sickened by the mag cup result in Jan. I can't remember the score against Boro in the last game, think it may have been a draw?

No, there’s a bit more meaning in it. Though potentially it’s less serious than whoever random rival of the season ends up being: Portsmouth, Luton, Coventry and so on.
If we faced them in a late stage cup game or playoff final, it would potentially ramp up a bit. As things stand most of our games with them don’t really impact the ark of either sides season. Agree with most of the previous comments.

Question to the Boro fans; Do you consider us or the Mags as your ‘Derby’? Or is it both? I’ve never seen Boro as a Derby really, but that’s probably because I’ve never lived or worked amongst any Boro fans probably. I’ve always thought we both had more in common, than the Mags

It was considered one back in the 90s for definite.
But never close to the mags.
Now I just like to say it's not and the boro are irrelevant to us. I really couldn't give a shit about them though.

We have a 405 page thread for Leeds too
Definitely an edgy game

But that isn't a local team to us

Don't care about them apparently but fans go to games chanting "We hate Boro"

By the way. We don’t have a 405 page thread for Leeds.
I was been sarcastic. You’re spot on with what you say.

No. Never has been to me. I party like it's 1999 when we beat the Skunks & in the depths if we lose. It's a massive "Meh" with Boro. May as well be Barnsley or Bournemouth for all I care. Just another game to me. The Smoggies on the other hand it's their Cup Final. I used to work amongst them. Didn't like it that I didn't give a fuck about their poxy little club.

Careful though. Don’t single out that one goal.Rusyn
On the face of it. It was a pointless goal against our none rivals.
We scored more important goals last season.

Our record down there despite being awful we've still had some great moments
The 2-0 win in 2005, Millers volley in last minute in 07, the FA cup replay under ONeil

It is to them but compared with the Tyne Wear derby it’s nothing really
