No particular reason. Just because.
Our first ever game against them.

Rab MacFarlane - what a poor keeper. Decent shot stopper but useless at playing out from the back.
Thank god we replaced him with Tim Williamson, who holds the all time record for most Boro appearances (602).
Joking aside, Williamson was way ahead of his time and did actually play out from the back.

(That's my lot, where is Erimus when you need him?).

I hate this playing from the back, ok the odd time, but it is chugging boring.


I see stats about possession its always the back 4 who have it.
