Newbiggin Lad

Thank you boro scum for ...  giving me 4 broken ribs, a broken nose and 2 black eyes ... and thanks to the police for leaving me to go to my car on my own from the train station whilst wearing a toon shirt knowing I would probably get a kicking. Ok, maybe I shouldn't have worn colours, but why can't someone be able to without getting set on? 
I can handle a one on one situation, but when its 6 or 7 jumping on you it hurts like hell... it won't put me off wearing colours tho.  But i dont think the wife is very happy ... she says I look like Peter Beardsley now.

Sorry to hear about that Newbiggin lad. They are indeed a cowardly bunch at Middlesbrough. We (12 of us) had a few beers in their Town centre  after the match and because there was a few of us the smoggies didn't want to know and left us well alone. But it seems that lads on their own or in small groups were targeted. However there is 2 sides to every story and we seen a few incidents before and after the match where Boro fans were attacked by Newcastle supporters looking for trouble.
