To be fair, I do think that those rivalries are taken far more seriously by both sides than the Tees-Wear derby is. I think we’d be hard-pressed to say we really treat anyone like a natural rival in the modern era, having not really played Sunderland or Newcastle all that much in the last fifteen years.I agree about the raw anger shown to Mogga at Barnsley, it was awful. I truly hope nobody here vented their spleen at Karanka at Stoke away in 2017 either as that was equally shameful.
I do think Mogga’s interview after that Blackburn game was pitiful on his part, not his lies about the incident, the defence of Branthwaite, but the smirk on his face midst it all. That smirk threw away the high held respect I once had for him, actions have consequences.
As for it being just a job, would club legends like Steven Gerrard manage Everton? Would Gary Neville or Alex Ferguson have managed Man City if offered? Would Alan Shearer have managed Sunderland? Never in a million years, I know there are examples of club legends crossing divides, but when they do, like. i say, there are usually consequences.
Personally, I have no issue Mowbray taking the job, as to me following that Blackburn game interview, he became just another ex player.
More needle with Derby than Sunderland or the mags these daysTo be fair, I do think that those rivalries are taken far more seriously by both sides than the Tees-Wear derby is.

Unlike most on here, I do not consider Sunderland as a ’Derby’. I have no real guttural houghts on Sunderland. I may play along at times on here, but the truth is Sunderland and Newcastle are meh to me. I consider dirty Leeds Utd as our Derby, what with us both being Yorkshire clubs.To be fair, I do think that those rivalries are taken far more seriously by both sides than the Tees-Wear derby is.

It certainly was. Very emotional. Wonderful to see George junior unveiling the statue to his dad, something he has always hoped to see.Top night wasn’t it rob
That’s what he said in front of the cameras but do you know if Mogga personally checked on Dael after?He said he didn't see his thug of a centre half almost remove Dael Fry's eye from its socket and neither did he express any concern for Dael's welfare.
My first derby was in the Bob end, before the seats went in, home and away supporters mixed together. The same for my second but the venue was the Roker EndNewcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough are the three major north east rivals. In my grand parents time the fans mingled on the terraces no bother.
e.g. "The highest attendance at the ground (53,802) was set on 27 December 1949, when Middlesbrough played their North East rivals Newcastle United."
Not technically a derby match if you define that as being in the same town. Huddersfield was a big away game.
It seems TM has always viewed his football career as a job. Listening to the podcast about 86 and the club on the brink of extinction, whilst some players talked about going in to the club, TM talked about going into work the next day. I guess we all view things differently, he has been bought and sold, hired and fired and worked under contracts, he views it as a job and you can see why, what we can say it has never affected his commitment or professional. Best of luck to him.Will always look back and admire Mowbray but he does his job by the club who employs him... His comments towards us last season after Ewood bothered me but he was Blackburn manager so i understood it...........
Hope we beat them Monday, its a huge game for us especially with Mogga managing the Mackems and looking for 3 points.....
He’s a professional, and it’s a job. Same for Grant Leadbitter when he came and played for us.

Football rivalry has become far more bitter, it's
Trafalgar Square ‘d be busySorry don’t agree. Would class Leadbitter playing for us more like a Cattermole or Johnson and no where near Mowbray. Mogga will always be a legend class of 86 and all that but I’m gutted that he’s taken the Sunderland job. Imagine if we both get to the playoff final and we get beat
