‘DADDY, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BALD PEOPLE AT THIS MATCH?’ My daughter continues her mission to get me smacked in the face.

Just pumped up this little marvel. Already curled a beauty right into the cat’s basket. Busy afternoon ahead.

‘Daddy, I’m the only Middlesbrough supporter at school and no-one else has even heard of George Friend.’ And in that moment my heart simultaneously swells with pride and shrivels with pain at what I have done.

On the way in, a fella pointed at us and said to his kid: 'they're from the grimmest town in the north.' I dedicate the third goal to him.

The problem with always letting your heart rule your head is you end up buying a York City turnstile at auction that you can’t fit through your gate and has anyone got a crane they can lend me? 🤦🏻‍♂️

I wrote a few words after the game I was at last Saturday, Cowdenbeath v Edinburgh. A kind of match report/justification for my solo travels. I was going to leave those words right where they are to never be seen again, but looking back they capture why I love Scottish football.

On the 4th day of Christmas my Pulis gave to me/four centre halves/three holding mids/two other fellas/and a striker isolated on his own forlornly pursuing long balls before being withdrawn on 67 minutes.

Who knows what’ll happen next (‘whatever will be/will be…’), but that was up there with all the great Boro nights. The noise after the goal was almost beyond the comprehension of ears. Lads from Redcar, Bedale and Berwick Hills beating the billionaires. Proper, proper Boro.

Absolutely delighted to announce that for just the second time in 30 years of going to football I just caught the ball.

Good letter in today’s Times from a man who appears to be living in a Looney Tunes cartoon.
