It was you then @HolgateCorner?!

Hah hah I thought some might think that!

No it wasn’t me.

In this case it’s the Club's social media rather than this forum to be fair. They are the one that resurrected it from Saturday nights tweet.

Shocking, the club need to leave the fans alone, bound to be idiots in 28.5k crowd.

…asking for a friend?

Afraid not, I’ve listened to him a lot but never spoken to him (if it’s who I think it is, I might be wrong).

I don’t think anyone’s attacking the supporter, it’s just a laugh, even the club have gotten in on it.

Agree it should be light hearted.

I mean look at some of the comments on here….

All time classic for me was April 20 1974. Boro 8 Sheffield Wednesday 0.

I was stood on the South Terrace ('perk' of my oxo selling days). The Boro were 6-0 up and Souness (who scored a hat-trick that game) started show boating near the half way line. The bloke next to me screamed, seriously, "Get an effin' grip, ya Scottish ****!"

The same bloke earlier in the season had shouted "I've been here for 32 years .... ", only for the bloke behind him to say "Does ya' missus know you're out?"

I was on leave at the time and stood in the Holgate at that game with my brother. At the final whistle he started whining that we could have scored 10 if we hadn't took our foot off the pedal. There's no pleasing some people.

The twitterist, who tweeted this is once of this parish, n’est pas?

He is a good supporter who has been there for many years, we all say daft things at times, I think the forum should let this one go.

I'm sure he is.

It's just a great soundbite. If it took off he should own it and be proud of it. Minor folk lore one day, maybe.

It’s an excellent idea for a T Shirt. Hidden flattery with a light hearted nod to those supporters whose glass is half empty.

People go to football for many different reasons and have vastly different match day experience’s.

Like the four blokes who sit a few rows in front of me in the WSU. Always arrive 5 minutes after kick off, leave 5 minutes before half time, 5 minutes late after the restart and leave at 85 minutes. They have been doing that for years and the number of goals they must have missed is considerable. Two of them then spend the entire games on their mobile phones.

I don’t get it, but then I don’t need to get it. Although I would be pi$$ed off if I sat in the same row and had to keep getting up.

On the subject of people never being happy,many moons ago I was on the bus home after Boro had beaten Villa 3-2 with David Mills scoring a hat-trick, there was a bloke behind me talking to his mate saying " That Mills is bloody rubbish, he should have had four!"
