don't worry lads I'm still about - I'm actually spending the summer due to no football OTR grafting the usual suspects whilst I am at George raft. I am sure you know the ones - the nibblers I like to call them

its been a pleasant and fruitful summer if I say so myself

I will be back on here with my news reports once the new season starts

I might even make a guest appearance on 'raw' now you seemed to have slackened your security.

So don't fret lads headset will return at the end of July with his first tricky of the new season!


For now up the tories and no surrender  

1-0 defeat a shit show from England - I think taking the knee with respect has run its course after that piss-take from the Hungarians/Children


you are never shite after losing one game, but questions might be asked if you lose two on the bounce - so with that said a big coming up against the Germans on Tuesday..

you are sort of right in what you say but for example, look at Steve Cooper of Forest - would/does he inspire you given what you see on first impressions/looks .. not for me but hey what a job the fucker has just done with Forest.


Winning football matches is all that counts at the end of the day.

I know it's a cricketing cliche but what a first hour in the morning we will have. whatever side wins that hour and you will go on to win the test for me.

we need Root in situ after that first hour for England to go on and win it...

he is still Englands' top dog with the bat..

its turned out to be a good first test after all

They are an alright bunch until they start talking about politics ... how many years and counting is it now

I'm glad I switched to the cricket - its all about the world cup and European championships for me.

that said we should be winning games against the likes of Hungary...

piss poor from England on that thinking - thank fuck it is only a Micky Mouse cup/league

it could turn into a bit of a nail-biter here.

It's down to Root now - he just needs to keep a partner.

these two have to see tonight out - otherwise its curtains for me

if one of these two living legends of the game gets a ton - we win this for me!

CMON ENGLAND

correct - used as a dumping ground by the labour party!

it's the looney left that has ruined Middlesbrough town center

was that Hungarian kids booing the knee - it very much sounded like it!

could that no ball be the thing that kick starts England's much-needed batting recovery. Under new leadership

a big session after tea for these two

Bets for this teatime kick off..

I must admit I read that OTR - so I guess it must be true.

I would rattle her all over the shop - she can move her body

Unless she is frigid or a nightmare to live with  - he must be nuts playing behind her back

you are right about Root and if he gets us the win - you take i want some others to step up to the plate otherwise its pretty much is same old same old with Root taking most of the runs

pope gone - just as I type - not again I best stop typing ..FFS

only makes today's sun online

a couple of local residents give their gruesome stories of living down on parly road.,

i live on the outskirts of Middlesbrough and to be fair even I wouldn't venture down that way these days.

He is lucky he got a live  - it is a third-world shit hole in that area of Boro.

good fro the bloke trying to make a living down there - even never seen babied wire inside a shop - what a sight that' is - that's even open eyes a touch of how bad some parts of Boro has now become.

Broken Boro with its broken police force...

I'm glad they are only my second team!


you sound like zorro/jedi from OTR he gets stuck into all things Teesside/Liverpool related - it gets his back up as well

I will be watching the footy but I've got to say this game has the makings of a good finish.

We should get a result win or lose - it could tell us a lot about this English side batting-wise - or will it be the same old same old.....and we collapse at some point batting.

Time to step up to the party England - I'm going for the England win - i will equally take it as a positive if we can get close to the black caps total given our recent poor displays with the bat...

Game on as they say and let the best team win!

CMON ENGLAND!

2 down as I type -

I think he would either need to go learn his managerial trade elsewhere or for the club itself to be struggling financially or low in its league position for that to happen would be my take on things.

so I don't think you could ever rule it out happening.

a top notch player you cant take that from him - the fact he seems a quiet reserved type of lad from the outside looking in anyway - I don't see management in him - maybe a good No2  with I've no doubt a good footballing brain so who knows of course - he might have it in him to be a manager.

given his career he must have something to offer the youngsters at the club - so why wouldn't Boro use him in that area of the football club ..  


Still, the best homegrown player to come out the club in the modern/riverside era - so that is a feather in his cap after all these years.

unless you are an out and, out success - you need thick skin to be a manager these days, especially with social media kicking about. Be interesting to see if it ever happens - it did for Mowbray and Woodgate - so you just never know with Steve Gibson in charge



https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stewart-downing-wants-complete-set-24124711

a good comeback from the New Zealand middle order - they've more than made a game of it and have taken control of the game with that cracking partnership.

it also puts the spotlight right on the English batsmen win or lose they need to get close at the very worst to any New Zealand total. Just to prove they can bat...I initially thought the way the wickets went down it was a bowlers wicket not anymore after seeing them 2 New Zealanders dig in and bags some big runs when needed.

it could now turn into a useful test match to watch...weather also permitting of course

i agree with Collingwood it won't happen overnight, but equally some improvement needs to be shown by the English batsmen as things stand..

https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12123/12627021/nasser-hussain-daryl-mitchell-tom-blundell-fightback-typifies-new-zealand-cricket-but-ben-stokes-got-it-spot-on

a so-called behind closed doors game ... yes I'm with Southgate here kids or no kids  - what a weird decision to make

I dare say if it goes off without incident - then may be a success if the kids take the message home with them for tomorrow and years to come re racism.

if any kind of repeat of what went on in the past happens - then a huge and massive own goal made by all .


i will be watching and hoping for an England victory - as for the other stuff mentioned in the article - i would not like to call that one. hopefully, the game will pass off without incident...
eastern Europe is still a naughty place when it comes to racism etc.. would be my thoughts



https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18776590/gareth-southgate-england-hungary-nations-league/

Sadio Mane has sensationally revealed he will do what Senegal people want when he was told '60 to 70 per cent' believe he should leave the club.



don't make me laugh and as good as a player he is and IMO he is world-class... why cant these footballers be honest with us - we get some of the pundits will often sit on the fence and roll out he might want a new challenge -[- yea right O ... so nothing to do with the 17 million a year  Bayern Munich are offering...

you are allowed to say I can't turn that type of coin down and, get called a greedy bastard - do they think the rest of us would turn it down - I wouldn't & you could call me what you want for 17 million a year

Why else would he leave a top top Liverpool side to go there - on this occasion, it is not a step up move ........... Good luck to him if he is chasing the money - he won't be the 1st or last footballer to do it



https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/18777309/sadio-mane-liverpool-exit-feelings-club/

‘Hand of God’ goal- and it cost me £7million

good at the time, but like anyone you would be a tad gutted now to miss out on that wedge.

That said

most if not all would have taken the same route at the time - that's why I was amazed Hodge took the shirt of the cheating Argie bastard.

I wouldn't have taken it at the time. I still don't get why he couldn't just say it hit his hand afterward rather than play the silly fucker // with all the hand of god shite.. as good as he was

interesting comments from the sun's mercy muroki.

one thing that caught my eye I didn't know the 'young lot' (18-24 age bracket) of the country is seeing its support of the royal family dwindle - I never knew that.

I'm not a massive believer in polls  - they didn't work with brexit or some elections, but I'm not also daft enough to totally dismiss them.. So interesting/challenging times may lay ahead for the royals one day

for now ..long live the queen


https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18777396/mercy-muroki-full-fat-monarchy/

a great band for me Oasis - I always had a feeling they would get back together but now Liam has filled out Knebworth again - I sort of start to believe him that they won't get back together for one last roadshow.

the money they would make to get back to geather /reunion is not worth thinking about - it would be mind-boggling numbers both UK and or a  worldwide tour...


we live in hope, but I just can't see it.. Me and our lass would give it one last big blowout if they ever did get back together - I'd have to put a fortnight's holiday in for recovery purposes!


https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/18767976/liam-gallagher-noel-oasis-reunion-had-chance/

the scary thing is they won't give shit - they will just go and buy another one and probably sack whoever bought him - that is the only thing for anyone in charge of Newcastle - you won't last long if you don't get it right.

sit outside the top 10 next season and Howe will be gone after that it will be top 8 then top 6 then 4 or you will be gone each year until they break into the top4 champions league

got a bit of jail justice - he does deserve slow punishment that fucker for what he did..

let us hope he gets a few more batterings while serving his time - wait until he gets in the big jails once he gets a bit older - they will look to cut him up the older cons


https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18768245/aaron-campbell-killer-alesha-macphail-murder-jail-attack/

that will go down well with the looney left OTR - the will be a ban on jet2 now from that lot


he might have a point-mind you - so I will sit on the fence on this one - a job is a job in my world

It's the scroungers & freeloaders I can't be doing with - in this country illegals or not!


https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/18766701/jet2-boss-airport-lazy-brits/

like Tammy Abraham another one gone to Italy to kick start his career/learn his trade - So fair play to him..

another player that might attract English club interest in the summer after a good season in Italy


won the league as well after years of Juventus domination of late..

let's see how he does in an England shirt - with a mid-season World Cup it will be interesting how England does in the world cup this year - given many ex-players/pundits/managers etc blame a heavy long season as why England fail - we cant use that excuse this year..




I will watch England in the nations cup and it is a cup, but it's not a big one like the World Cup or European Championship


for me, it's like winning the fa cup when you would rather have won a  league title or the champions league in club football...


two big games to look forward to against Hungary and then the big one against the Germans!


https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/18767706/fikayo-tomori-england-ac-milan-maldini/

claims they might be broke - is probably a bit of a smoke screen they might have a few financial troubles, but will still have a few quid squirreled away finance or not. It's a bit dodgy the goings-on with them and Real Madrid when finances are involved - it is however good to see them both trying to get the houses in order....


One of them is still champions of europe with or without tightening the purse strings.

I'm more a Madrid man when it comes to them 2 in Spain



https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18765993/barcelona-news-nou-camp-laliga-spotify/

That way the managers could have made the tactical decision to make the best cock sucker at the club captain.

And thus Kevin Keegan became Captain of England!

never

yes, I agree with those above - we will be lucky to see three days here - add that into low ticket sales, and what a damp squib this Lords test match could turn into..

a win is a win but a test match is a test match that should provide long entertainment in getting that win.


Forget the Black Caps for one minute - this England side or group of players of late just cant bat!

an excellent day with the ball and the openers at one point especially Crawley had me thinking we might be on for a decent score here....

A good opening day in one aspect but that's not really what test cricket is about - wickets tumbling like that in one day. That's not proper test cricket for me!

Well done Potts on debut i will say that


https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12123/12626219/england-crumble-with-the-bat-after-skittling-new-zealand-on-day-one-of-first-test-at-lords

bank holiday - good to see the country enjoying itself and im sure the parties will kick in over the next few days  - you do hope the weather stays good for any folk with outside events planned.

according to the article, 100 million pints are expected to be guzzled over the extended holiday break.


the country cant be that skint - it must just be the peasants OTR on fly me who must be feeling the pinch all the time in between moaning all day that is


https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18764755/brits-toast-queen-platinum-jubilee-celebrations/

her majesty the queen lit the Platinum Jubilee beacon to mark 70 years of her reign as a day of pageantry and celebration draws to a close.

It does however look likes she is struggling now having to pull out of tomorrow's/today's service at St Paul's...

I enjoyed some of yesterday.. the troping of the colour and fly over etc.



William, Kate & Kids looked the part and will do the monarchy proud themselves one day.

19/0 - not a bad start from the England batsman - let's hope we can bat both big and long like a proper test batting side should

CMON ENGLAND !

2 refs up in Scottish football come out as gay and say the culture must change.


after the Jake Daniels news, it looks like the trickle is beginning to happen in the football industry..


https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/18764147/premiership-craig-napier-gay-landmark-scottish-football/

the Geordies start to flex their financial muscle - when you can strike a 36 million pound deal for a 19-year-old - you know you are in the money as a football club - like them or loath them - they mean business in the big time - will they topple the big boys one day is the unanswered question as things stand..




https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18763237/newcastle-hugo-ekitike-borussia-dortmund-reims/

if its out like kens set up - you are fucked regardless of who signs you in and sets you up ... the only way in is with a remote connection and that takes some balls if you don't know the other end -

 

  I Have to read info out over the phone when I have done remote connections this didn't happen on joining RR . Ken didn't take control of the curser on my screen and start raking through my files 

once you've taken a ban off kenny boy - he wipes your full 'isp' you can't even view/surf 'RAW' never mind creating another account - unless you have internet at work but even then you struggle to get back on when at home for example - westy just bans your name - ken goes full Adolf Hitler the cunt...

minge will have find a open connection or goto  MacDonalds .. or sign up with another provider -unless its a temp ban like mine was

i very rarly bother with it now unless at home when i just have a butchers rather than post...

i was going to fill him in but didnt want the agro of ending up in court

that's the Black Caps all out what a great start in this 1st summer test series - let's hope we can bat well !!

36/6 cmon England what dream start to his Test career for the young Durham fast bowler Potts.


You just hope if we skittle these out quickly - we don't fold like a pack of cards ourselves - it is our batting that has cost us of late afterall.

got them right on the ropes...


Potts the debut boy bags himself a big wicket

12 for 4 what a start for England

both start their reigns with England cricket today one as the gaffer and one as the new skipper.


can they do anything with this poor test side of late?

we will see soon enough.

McCullum gives his thoughts in the below Sky interview.

it has to be said New Zealand his home country will provide a tough start for him, Stokes & England this summer.


I will be looking forward to this series on Sky.

CMON ENGLAND!

i think you are done for....

the captain knows the crack but is equally a hard catch.


I went with TM instead-but understandably bottled it after 5 minutes of remote connection

ooo. you pair ov media hugging bastards!

common on the taffs...

as the saying goes... game on can the sweats take it to x/tra time!

Much as I want Ukraine to kick Scotlands ass and get to the WC, in a perverse sort of way I want the jocks to win, because I DON'T want England to be the team that crushes Ukraine's hopes!

I also don't want to be in the position of (as an England fan) supporting Ukraine to win against my own nation!

Lets just xcancel the tournament and award it to Ukraine and eliminate all conflictions!  

I get your feelings ... this might get me, pelters, if it bothered them that much ... they'd be at home fighting not playing football ... that said me personally I would rather be playing football than fighting on the frontline if it was me given a choice - so that says a lot about me!

2 nowt ... game over for me ... good for them if they qualify on the field of play... that's how it should be ...

time for the taffs to stand up and be counted on Sunday...


all things said the Ukraine's deserve to be in the lead so far

if its out like kens set up - you are fucked regardless of who signs you in and sets you up ... the only way in is with a remote connection and that takes some balls if you don't know the other end -

1-0 up to the Ukraines  - I was only watching the amber head trial so missed the goal ... they did look the better side I will say that...


big 2nd half for the jocks.... a full house at Hampden didn't come to see a Ukraine victory - they could have done that sat at home watching on TV...


Souness has spent too much time down on the South Coast -
