    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I really don't think flying is as dangerous as you're making it sound. The risks of catching it on even a full flight are lower than you think, and a lot of flights are pretty much empty at the moment. Everyone's got to do the research and work out what's best for them, but I would feel better...

    West End.

    Only a few more years til we have an entire generation of younger fans who weren't even alive during the HR days. Assuming/hoping we get back to the Ricoh within a year or two, will be interesting to see how that changes how we feel about it. Anyway, this is one of my favourite videos on the...

    Bapaga

    Feels like it's been ages since a homegrown striker really made waves for us - Wilson is the last one but was only a starter for one season. Before that I suppose McSheffrey? Hope Bapaga's the next.

    Mcfadzean

    Thought his days were numbered when Ostigard came in, but don't see how you could drop him at the moment.

    Ex Player Watch

    Somehow Chuba Akpom is now a starter in the Championship and scored for Boro today.

    Match Thread Barnsley Match Thread

    I think given how mental the press was from their front three, we'll find it a lot easier against other teams who'll let us build from the back like we prefer to do. Barnsley wanted to play at 100mph, and we didn't/couldn't stop them. If they had more quality they'd be a very good side.

    Police officer shot dead by man in custody

    Did you ever figure out what happened with the imaginary Somali knife murderer in Birmingham or are you still on the hunt for him

    Video New Deal | Fankaty Dabo

    Manages to sneak in a laugh before he even answers the first question, really showing Ben Sheaf how it's done, brilliant stuff.

    Dabo 3 Year Contract Extension

    Thats essentially the club announcing a few million extra quid for itself a year or two from now. Brilliant stuff.

    Mars helping to end racism

    According to the global president of Mars (cool job title), they changed it because customers and employees asked them to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ http://www.cnn.com/2020/09/23/business/uncle-bens-rice-rebrand-bens-original/index.html

    Question of sport trio axed.

    Plenty of studies that say it has a real positive effect on a company's profits. Easily searchable. There are a few studies that say otherwise, of course. But even if you could conclusively prove it had no impact at all, it wouldn't be an argument for ignoring it altogether.

    Question of sport trio axed.

    You're pretty much right, but not every manager is going to be that cynical about it. More and more bosses are aware now that if they are faced with two candidates who look the same on paper, it may be that the one who's had to overcome all kinds of bias and bullshit just to get to that position...

    Sam mccallum

    Been done to death but a few other thoughts: - Bit of a luxury signing, but in pure business terms it's a pretty good deal on our part to sell McCallum for £2.5m and then keep him for 18 months anyway - Who's going to be our LWB next season? I'm getting those bad Mowbray vibes. - I love our...

    Player Ratings via QPR

    Marosi - 7 Distribution excellent, whether long or short Dabo - 7 Such a fun player to watch Hyam - 7 If you don't really notice him, he's usually doing well McFadzean - 7 Clumsy for the penalty (though I think it was harsh), made up for it Ostigard - 6 Looks comfortable on the ball but...

    Behind closed doors

    As others said, all the other teams in the division bar Rotherham will be used to it by now. I've no idea how weird it is for the players, but maybe it'll take us some time to adjust. In the long run I think it's probably a net benefit for us without big home crowds affecting the ref for some of...

    Birmingham incident

    I'm not "excited" about anything to do with this murder, don't give me that. What I do take issue with - people saying the media have got it all wrong again, that there's a cover up, trying to sow more mistrust and prejudice with dodgy rumours dressed up as fact. Only to conveniently disappear...
