    Dint even know Cranie played for them. McBurnie should be able to bully him easier than a six year old lass.

    Let them mock. The law of averages tells us that they will lose a game sooner or later.
    I always remember going to Ayresome Park when we were in a similar position and
    needed to win. Our team was made up of journeymen who appeared to be "honest toilers" at best,
    whereas during that era ' Boro seemed to have a team littered with experience with the likes
    of Colin Cooper, Tony Mowbray, Stuart Ripley, Curtis Fleming, Jamie Pollock, Bernie Slaven
    and two my all time future Reds favourites, Paul Wilkinson and ' Super" John Hendrie.
    Incredibly and however unlikely, the Reds came away as 1-0 winners on that particular day.
    Can't remember too clearly. Was it a Mark Smith header in the second half that clinched the points.?
    Whoever it was, here's hoping for a similar result today.

    Mark Smith. It was a rearranged midweek game after the first was abandoned at half time for a frozen pitch

    Remember the Saturday match well as I took my neighbour in my recently acquired Nissan 300. When he got home, his wife asked him if the car was supersonic.

    Is that Besic who was at Everton? Quality at this level. They’ve a bloody good team, surprised they’ve held on to Ben Gibson

    We went to that game as well. I recall one side of the pitch seemed to be OK, but the side in the
    shadow of the Main Stand was like a skating rink, which seemed to nullify the threat of Slaven
    and Hendrie. I recall that Smithy rose like a Salmon to score our goal when the game was re-played.
    Remember going up some years later when they called the receivers in and the ground was padlocked.
    Gibson took them over and they eventually moved to the Riverside. Like Patrick Cryne, along with his fellow
    Board Members , Steve Gibson has truly been the saviour of Middlesbrough Football Club.

    I haven't been to The Riverside, but every time I visited Ayresome Park, it was a bit hairy. Seven Barnsley fans were slashed on one occasion in the early eighties.

    The rearranged game was 1-1 and Andy Payton got our goal. Mark Smith got the winner for us 5 years before that. :p
