I got slagged off for saying that Flint was a  throwback to the CBs of the 70s. A head it and kick it merchant. He did well to get such a lucrative deal given his footballing talents.

In Webster City have a very talented CB, far more skilled than Flint ever was or will be.

Maybe so but Flint was a great servant to BCFC regardless.

Tonight I watched the game at home from er, Frankfurt, I think. I'm amazed that Boro paid £7m for George Saville. He was imo, ordinary for us and I saw nothing in his performance tonight to justify his fee. I'm pleased that we never signed him on a perm. Pulis hasn't spent money wisely at Boro and it will cost him his job which I will laugh about long and hard. ( is Lyndsay Parsons still on his staff?)

Flint is / was very similar to Shaun Taylor. Bit of a legend and a leader and a goal scorer but wow Webster is so much better than both. John Stones ish 

Legend, yes but Leader? No, it's his big weakness that he can only drive himself on but not others.

Shaun Taylor would go through a brick wall for City at that time he was a major driving force would pick the whole team up with his never give up energy and 

if he went down and stayed down you knew it was serious, have fonder memories of him than even Flint.

“...a superstar in the centre of our defence

...stole him from Suffolk and he has been immense 

...that’s Adam Webster, that’s Adam Webster...”

You're good BS4, very good!

...I’ve had that chant in me head since the start of the season....but @Robbored would never sign it off, so it ain’t gonna happen, cos he’s the forum/home fans chant godfather don’t ya know.....

Never have been a godfather of chants. Started a few back in the day but I rarely bother these days largely because there aren’t many.........

Great shout I just seen on here, if Aden Flint is 2 inches shorter, he plays in non league. No question about it

 

and If I was 2 inches bigger I'd be in porn films.

Jesus H Christ I aged during that second half.

There are clean sheets where you do not give the others a sniff...this was not one of those! How we did not conceed god only knows, but on another day we could have nicked a second.

What a difference four days make. In the middle of playing everyone around us, got Norwich, Leeds, Sheff Utd and Boro out of the way, still sixth. Just WBA, Derby and Villa to go.

Not sure if we will make sixth, but at least made the end of the season fun. 

Great clean sheet Max. Let’s hope some of those injuries are minor or we will be playing a second 11 for the rest of the month, along with a two game ban for Pack?

5th.

Nah. Wasn’t sure if he was going to or not as he was out quite a long time.

 Last off from them but had stayed centre circle (near where he would’ve been at whistle tbf) talking to our lot. Korey was lost over towards us as obviously a bit slower making his way onto pitch and had been talking to Flint. 

He turned on Swindon quite harshly - which is why they hate him so much. Wouldn’t be surprised if he turned on us too. 

I saw him up close once after our 8-2 win over Walsall at AG. Didn’t want to know the fans at all. JET by comparison was interacting and shaking hands. 

A legend maybe but NOT a man for the fans

Flint will be delighted with his signing on fee and increase in salary and who can blame anyone for moving for better money?

But life’s not all about money is it?

The whole place around the Riverside was desperate. I’d not have moved there for love or money.

But I’m not a heavily tattooed centre back with limited talent ?

Censorship at the Riverside or just miffed remainers? Seriously though, what reason for removing the banner and is that usual football ground practice?

That is a remarkably positive juxtaposition (for us) and certainly commercially viable as a poster, for both clubs for two opposite reasons. A little paint shop erasure for Flint and job done. Whoever took that photo should give themselves a deserved pat on the shoulder but does he or she understand the significance of it? 

And a superb win for City; our best back to back sequence of the season.

Middlesbrough still have the best defence(record) in the division, so it’s not like predicting the world will end..! 

He’s done ok up there. I just don’t think it’s the “home” he had here. 

Gone now, move on. 

We’ve had Jennifer Aniston leave us for the next door neighbour, but picked up Rachel Riley on our first night out..!

Boro’s forum has gone into meltdown over Pulis (can’t say I blame them, their complaints sound exactly like what happened here late 1999) and the comparison of Flint to Webster is very apt.

When was the last time all 5 of the teams beginning with 'B' were at home? Useless trivia I know and not a match day topic but the game is over now, we won and who cares..

Bristol Rovers haven’t been at home since 1986.

100% whenever the kids have had the pleasure to meet a few of the players he has been the only one I ever known where signing autographs or having a picture was too much aggro for him, couldn’t get away quick enough, if he’s out doing his own thing then fair enough but this was at a BCFC event, also got told he’d purposely turn up at AG for games early before anyone else just to miss the fans waiting for the players. Loved him as a player but literally has no time for the supporters.

Praying the injuries aren't too bad. Weimann's came from Flint standing on his foot. I'm thinking possible broken toe? How long does that put you out? Can it be that bad if he played on for half an hour?

I’ve carried on playing the last 30mins of a game after breaking my leg! (without realising obviously) was my birthday aswell so went out on the night for a few beers still in a little pain, wasn’t until the next morning along with a headache that something wasn’t quite right, a trip to Frenchay and then 10 weeks in plaster :facepalm: hopefully Weimanns isn’t quite as bad and he’ll be fine for Saturday.

Why do lots of people always assume that players live in the towns or cities for whom they play football?! Do you really think all the ‘Boro players live in Middlesbrough??! Of course they don’t....North Yorkshire has some very fine spots in which to dwell...

Indeed.

Some great countryside not far South of Middlesbrough. A lot of players don't live in the city in which they play- Bryan lived in North Somerset didn't he for one.
