Now thats a spot!!I was at a pedestrian crossing near Martin place in Sydney about 15 years ago and the bloke stood next to me had the Boro badge (1986 version) tattooed on his ankle.
Rude not to say hello I thought.
Can’t remember the conversation.
And no I don’t have a fetish about blokes ankles before anyone starts….
Shouldn't that be dafcun?The correct way to greet a Boro fan you don't know, and encounter out of the area, is to get them in a headlock, rub your knuckles on their head and say "now then daft ****"
Ah now that's one thing I thought wouldn't be a thing. The advantage of supporting Boro is if you see someone in a shirt you can almost guarantee they are from Boro. If you see a scouse shirt or citeh you can never be sureSeen a local lad in Essaouira (Moroc)wearing a Boro top, I ended up playing 5 a side with him and his mates on the beach, turned out he got his top from a visiting Boro fan.
Me and my son were sat in Barbers in Hertfordshire and a young kid came in wearing a Boro top (with his Dad). They were quite surprised when we greeted them with "C'mon the Boro!"
Thinking about it at that point the majority of the barbers shop were Boro fans.
I bet she was a Southerner ? I think people south of Manchester (approx) really don't get it. I'm the same, if I see a Boro shirt anywhere in the world I am compelled to go and speak to my kinship(!)It's not just you.
I saw a lad wearing a Boro top at Victorious Festival (Pompey/Southsea) last year.
He was about 50 metres away from me. I had the urge to go and speak to him but was with my then girlfriend who found it weird that I'd speak to 'random' people when we were out, so I didn't.
We split up about a week later after 15 months.
I dished out a few of my Boro shirts when i was in PeruI walked by a guy in a Boro shirt in peru, was too scared to even do the Boro nod, god knows why. Then in Mumbai a young lad, said up to Boro, then proceed with he hates Chelsea.
