Ayresome Rob

Dad, husband, uncle, and fan of Middlesbrough FC.
My (mostly lefty) opinions are my own but not so entrenched that I can't be persuaded otherwise.

@mehdirhasan British person here.
How (historically I suppose) has America got itself into a situation where partisan judges are the norm?
It just seems crazy.

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@Boro Pure filth!

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@AdamShame3 @Baddiel 🤷‍♂️

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@Baddiel Cynicism, hate and their relatives don't require much energy.
Things like enthusiasm or love do.
Too many people are emotionally lazy and supported in this by SM algorithms

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@JanAageFjortoft Jan, where were all these clubs when he was at Coventry?
Any fan of a Championship club could have told you he was the real deal.

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@utb_smith Yeah, frankly any sort of business.
You have (say) a 30% margin with normal staff and 5% with agency. Who would refuse the 5% from the extra business?

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@DanielSturridge on @SkyFootball spot on with his analysis of that last minute goal #cityvswolves
At the point of the header he'd stopped "interfering"

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@GraemeBandeira Have to find it first.
It resides in that mysterious 'somewhere' place 🤣

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@utb_smith I think the point is that if the successful coaches at the top of the German and other top leagues featured no Germans, they still wouldn't appoint a non-German.

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@untypicalboro We have a problem that our 'elite' clubs only want managers with 'elite' club experience.
Inevitably that means they come from abroad.
Nonetheless I don't think that medals and trophy thing applies to international football anyway

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@untypicalboro I was in the Holgate that day and went home after a bit of a sing song.
But the diehards were rewarded a bit later when the players came back out in their bathrobes to wave to the crowd.

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@StanCollymore B now.
A then.

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@n_w1970 😬

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@Boro_Breakdown the official Hayden Hackney kneeslide tracks!
Not sure what I'm turning into taking pictures of grass!

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@uncs37 @BarnetFC @BristolCity @Boro @AVFCOfficial @NFFC @CardiffCityFC @QPR @WFCOfficial And what joy you've brought us fans in those games.
Thank Unc"

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@GraemeBandeira Still reckon he'd take a mean penalty

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@pkelso I didn't know that much about him other than the US ambassador thing and the later BBC role.
He strikes me as much in the (perceived?) mould of David Owen - name checked in the obit'

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@StanCollymore This is a directive for fans. We hate it when oppo players do it and frankly ain't to keen on our own doing it either.
The 'refs need to be consistent' argument can be applied to any laws of the game and long applied interpretations

[Ayresome Rob @Boaly66Rob]

@untypicalboro The sort only a teenager would try in professional football.
