    Bid early or late?

    I would usually use an auction sniping app, that way you're not tempted to go over your limit if you're manually bidding. Sometimes you get outbid but that's fair enough, just increase your snipe amount next time if you really want it.

    Want to buy a new away top from the club shop?

    Go one size up on DH. I ordered size XL, I'm 42" chest, and it fits great. The app is much easier to search on, the web site is rubbish.

    Middlesbrough away kit

    Message from site editor - Don't put a link up - without wishing to draw attention to this thread - you would be best advised not to mention this again. And yes, there is previous for this and it doesn't always end well.

    England Penalty

    Looked like the defender went for Kane's foot rather than the ball to me.

    Crazy Misspelling of Middlesbrough

    Similarly Guisborough gained a "u" whereas Gisborough Hall retains the original spelling.

    Phones at gig's/concerts/festivals

    I can't understand people watching their phones whilst recording instead of watching the actual concert. It is also really distracting when all you can see in front of you is a see of bright phone screens. Having said that I sometimes record some songs but only if I have an unobstructed view...

    Anyone heard how many have renewed so far?

    Tell your mate to keep hassling the ticket office. I lost my free drink due to a ticket office **** up when I bought a couple of extra match seats two years ago resulted in my season ticket being cancelled. It's taken me nearly 2 years to sort it out but finally working now after the "IT expert"...

    Good players we have let go and regretted.

    Always thought that Didier Digard was a direct replacement for Cattermole. Cattermole put Digard out of action for 3 months as a result of a typical Cats tackle when we played Wigan.

    What is the furthest you have ever walked

    A blast from the past! Were they the same shop or originally separate shops next door on Normanby Road before moving to the larger shop on Middlesbrough Road? Back to the original question - I did the 42 mile Lyke Wake Walk when I was 15. "Condolences on your crossing ".

    Of the 7 on stage last night who would most improve this current side

    Gareth Southgate for me although any of them individually would massively improve the team.

    Is Ingleby Barwick a 'town'?

    What a load of nonsense! Presumably you are joking as your dates are way out. The River Tees cuts were planned at end of the 18th century (1791) and carried in the early 19th century, 1810 and 1831. Underground high steet? I know there are tunnels under Stockton town centre but since when has...

    Is Ingleby Barwick a 'town'?

    I always thought that Norton predated Stockton, certainly mentioned in the Domesday Book as was Thornaby or Thormozbi as it was called.

    Proposal for over 65's to retake driving tests

    I have a bus pass and uses buses on match days. But if the bus service was better and provided a more comprehensive coverage more people would use buses. I enjoy cycling but the lack of decent cycle paths means you have to take your life in your hands and use main roads in dome areas.

    Ok let’s look at the positives

    I don't know whose boots Hackney had on today. He's been atrocious since he returned.

    Greenwood after the first goal ....

    He wouldn't even look at Engel when Engel ran over to him to celebrate!

    Tinnitus

    Me too, I've learned to ignore it except when there is absolutely no background noise, then it's very obvious. It does mean that I struggle to hear very quiet sounds, although age related hearing loss doesn't help.
