Jerseybean Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 Happy Easter fellow-Reds. Easter quiz 1. How many Easter eggs are sold in the UK every year? 2. Which country started the tradition of the Easter bunny? 3. In Switzerland, what animal delivers Easter eggs to children? 4. What popular game is traditionally played at Easter? 5. Where is Easter Island located? 6. Where was the UK's first Easter egg produced? 7. Where did the world's largest Easter egg hunt take place? 8. What dance traditionally takes place at Easter? The game is on Sky from 5:15 with kick off at 5:30. On 15 February 2022 their opening MDT for this corresponding game included: ‘The team formerly known as Bristol South End haven’t got much to play for at the moment. They’re 17 points above the relegation places and 12 behind us, with ten teams separating us in the table. It’s a bit early to break out the deckchairs down by the Avon, but their indifferent form hints at a team playing with little incentive beyond professional pride. They’ve recently lost to Swansea but they did beat Reading, which is cheering for those of us who’d like to see Reading consigned to the wastelands of League One for consistently spending more than twice their turnover on wages.’ We won that game 2-1. In some ways it’s a similar story again and let’s hope it again ends with us winning. We drew 1-1 at theirs back in November when Max O’Leary was superb: https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/2022/november/06/highlights--boro-1-bristol-city-1/ At the Riverside we allowed Howson too much time and space so need to prevent him influencing this game. They have won three, lost two and drawn one of their last six games. Last Saturday they were beaten 4-2 by Huddersfield and on Good Friday they lost 2-1 at home against Burnley. Nigel Pearson has almost ruled Kal Naismith out for this one, and Tomas Kalas and Alex Scott are certainly out of this fixture as he errs on the side of caution with their recoveries. We will also need to see if Omar and Tommy are available as both picked up knocks last time out. NP: Referee is Tim Robinson, linos Craig Taylor and Jonathan Hunt and the fourth official Andy Woolmer. On 24 October 2022, Michael Carrick was appointed as their head coach. Middlesbrough were 21st in the EFL Championship at the time, with 17 points from 16 games, just one point above the relegation zone. Now they are fourth with 67 points. He has had a huge impact as one of their fans said, ‘from the moment Carrick took over, I can honestly say this is the best I've ever seen Middlesbrough play. I go to every match now expecting Middlesbrough to not just score, but to score multiple goals, which is practically unheard of for a Middlesbrough side this century.’ Unsurprisingly, he’s been linked with Premiership clubs, including West Ham, who media reports claim could target the former Hammer if they sack David Moyes. Carrick remained at Manchester United after retirement, having been handed a position on José Mourinho's coaching staff. When Mourinho was sacked by United on 18 December 2018, Carrick briefly became caretaker manager, prior to the appointment of another former United player Ole Gunnar Solskjær whoretained Carrick as part of his coaching staff. On 21 November 2021, after Ole Gunnar Solskjær left his role as manager, Carrick was named caretaker manager. During his three match reign as caretaker manager, he recorded two wins and one draw. Since our first match against them in 1901, we've played each other 86 times, we have won 28, drawn 23 and lost 35 times. Our last 10 matches against them have seen 4 City wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. Players who have worn the shirt of both teams include Albert Adomah, Neil Maddison, Lee Tomlin, Tomas Kalas, Gary O'Neil, Leroy Lita, Matthew Bates and Andre Bikey. Of course NP once captained Boro, manager Bryan Robson signed him for £750,000 in 1994. Pearson captained them to promotion twice and to three domestic cup finals. Pearson retired from playing in 1998. After losing out on the managerial role at his former club Middlesbrough to Garry Monk, Pearson was appointed as the manager of Belgian First Division B side Oud-Heverlee Leuven on 22 September 2017. He was sacked on 3 February 2019. Recently their captain Jonny Howson signed a new contract with the club. Howson signed a one-year extension to his deal that was due to expire this summer. The midfielder will turn 35 in May but is as important as he's ever been for Boro and has started all but one of the 22 Championship games since Carrick took charge. Famous fans James Arthur Middlesbrough born-and-bred, Arthur came from nowhere to win the 2012 series of former ITV show The X Factor and immediately thrust himself into super-stardom. Bob Mortimer Another famous face to be born in the town, Mortimer has been a Boro supporter for all of his life. He's best known for his comedic partnership with Vic Reeves, presenting shows such as Shooting Stars and he continues to appear on television shows to this day. Chris Rea A chart-topping singer with two number one albums, Rea is another one of Middlesbrough's famous sons and even re-recorded his 'Let's Dance' song in 1997 for the football club. He is best known for his 'Driving Home For Christmas' tune which despite only reaching 10th in the UK charts is known around the world. Mark Benton Born in nearby Guisborough, Benton has started in British shows such as Early Doors, Northern Lights and Waterloo Road during his acting career. Chris Kamara Another famous son of Teesside, Kamara was born and grew up in Boro and is known to be close friends with the club's owner Steve Gibson having grown up with the businessman in their youth. Both would attend matches together but despite becoming a good footballer, he would never go on to play for his hometown and boyhood club, although he still supports them to this very day. Glen Durrant Perhaps the most vocal on this list about his love for the Boro, Durrant is a darts champion having lifted the BDO World Championship three times in a row between 2017 and 2019.

The Riverside has it`s moments. I remember taking a wrong turn after the cup match up there and ending up on one of the worst estates I`ve ever seen. Twelve year old kids jumping on the roofs of cars and slinging stuff at anything that moved. Foot down and get out as quickly as possible! Quote Link to comment

Port Said Red Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 Max had a great game up there, some top shot stopping. We looked really slick on the break and on another day we could have nicked the points, but it was a good game to watch and probably a fair result. Hopefully it will be just as entertaining tonight.

Bobby Kellard being suspended brings back a boyhood memory for me, he was one of favourite players back in the day. I was watching football focus and they announced our game had been postponed which I took to mean Bobby’s suspension would be one game shorter, in celebration I jumped up in our lounge punched the air, hit the light a fused all the lights!

wendyredredrobin Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 Not really much to play for for us as we are mid table and unlikely to be going up or down with few games left, though either are still mathematically possible. Very different for Boro though as they are 4th and still hoping for an automatic spot. Our players will just be playing for their places, to be in contention for next season and maybe contracts in some cases. Still as usual looking forward to 5.30 and hoping for a decent performance from us. At least the forecast is fine after 3:00 p.m. albeit somewhat windy. For those unable to make the game, you will either need to watch on Sky, NowTV or find a dodgy stream (I'm sure there will be a few). Quote Link to comment

When we played Huddersfield I honestly thought they were the worst team I’ve seen all season. All they had in their locker was to kick our best players and hang in there by doing so, and I couldn’t believe we weren’t out of sight by half time. Fast forward a few games and it looks like they’ll survive, comfortably as well. I don’t like the way Warnock gets his teams playing but he really does know how to get results at this level. That turnaround has been up there with anything he’s done in his career. 4 Quote Link to comment
