Like an incredulous Mark Renton asks upon learning of the dodgy smack deal aspired by Begbie, Sick Boy and Spud, ‘what the fuck are you boys on?’ Boro unveiled a stupefying seasonal ticket scheme that defies all marketing convention – if the club win 4 on the bounce after Christmas, all reduced-price tickets purchased under the plan will be refunded in full. It’s debatably low risk/modestly high reward, but given the recent state of affairs and the prolonged courtship phase between Gordon Strachan and his new charges the prospects are daft at best.
Boro hope to have the correct kit for their clash w/ the club Mick Jones followed as a boy, QPR – currently 5th in the table after a profitable October propelled their form. Best of all, we haven’t gotten a result at Loftus Road in the last 16 visits. Still boasting some of the finest away credentials anywhere in the league, this is a chance for us to absorb some of the attractive football produced by Jim Magilton’s side and deliver a performance that can resuscitate the wallowing support base and inject vitality into a stuttering campaign for promotion. Predicting the side remains temporarily suspended – if forced to prognosticate at least one change it would be the return of Rhys Williams from suspension due to yellow card accumulation. The early week filibuster surrounding the unsettled back four continues to smoulder – irrespective, the Aussie lad warrants inclusion at RB berth…
Notes and reaction will follow after the match – World Cup draw ruminations as well
England + USA in the same group = one less 3am rise!!
