Septic Peg Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Good morning folks! Do you know either of the terms 'gashead' or 'smoggy'? I bet you recognise one of them but not the other however they are extremely similar in their creations and foundations... Middlesbrough have long been rivals with the two main north east clubs - Newcastle United and Sunderland although strictly speaking, Boro are not a north eastern club. Middlesbrough is actually located in North Yorkshire, although it literally sits on the border of County Durham. Being a northern town, Middlesbrough has roots in the manufacturing industry, specifically steel production and petrochemical production. In fact, it was in Middlesbrough that the famous Tyne Bridge parts were forged. Because of the dominance of factories, the air pollution or smog from chimney stacks was incredible. So visiting Sunderland fans one day began to shout at Boro fans about it. They called them 'smog monsters' which was soon shortened to smoggies. Just like our neighbours across the river when we started calling them gasheads - referencing the gas smell that floated over Eastville - the derogatory term was taken on board and now Boro fans and residents of Middlesbrough refer to themselves as smoggies. On to today. We're coming off the back of a good performance and Boro are right up there with us. So I'll say a 2-2 draw, though a sneaky Boro goal might just tip it for them... Coyrs...

AberRed Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 A Middlesbrough fan I know says we're their bogey team. And he's not wrong, we've not lost to them since 2011 and won our last 5 meetings. Hope this run continues. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 It's good that despite our form since January we still have something to play for. No idea how we're going to get on today. Hopefully a decent performance and at least a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 GIGANTIC game alert - but I see a 1-1 draw on the cards. Here's hoping Millwall and Sheff Utd both conspire to lose their game, and Burton give Derby a surprise loss. COME ON CITY, BURTON, AND THE UNLIKELY DOUBLE LOSS FOR THE BLADES / WALL!

Curr Avon Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 When we beat Boro' in December, it was the second of a four game winning streak which culminated in a 2-1 result at home against Forest. That was also the last time City enjoyed consecutive victories: https://www.bcfc.co.uk/fixtures-results/first-team/201718-fixtures/ . We play the same four teams in our remaining fixtures. A good omen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Not sure what the weather is like up there compared to down here but it looks like perfect footballing conditions. Traore & Bamford are the danger men to keep quiet, do that effectively and we're in with a real chance. Got to be patient, take the confidence from the Birmingham win and keep the belief! Despite everything going slightly awry in the last couple of months, we've still got a real opportunity. Let's see how much the players want this. COYR!! 2-0 City!

jayjay Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Biggest league game of the season, a real "must win" game. Nothing less will do. If LJ and his coaching staff cannot get the team "up" for this game, by which I mean a real fighting effort with nothing left on the pitch, then they never will.
