Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough

There was a lot of ‘almost’ around Middlesbrough last season. Almost securing automatic promotion, almost getting over the line in the play-offs, almost back in the Premier League. This year, the numbers will tell us whether close finally becomes enough.

Can we retire the word ‘nearly’ now?

If you’re a Middlesbrough fan, you’ve probably heard enough about being close. Close to the top two. Close in the play-offs. Close to finally seeing Premier League football back on Teesside. At some point, close must get reaaaaally annoying.

Nobody needs Boro to look brilliant in August or have promotion wrapped up by Christmas. Fans just want to see whether all those near-misses have actually led somewhere.

Are the points coming? Are the goals there? Are Middlesbrough finally turning good spells into something bigger? Because another “nearly” probably isn’t going to make anyone feel much better.

FAQs

It's just a snappy shortening of Middlesbrough, and it's used almost universally by supporters, local press and the club itself.
Boro last played there in 2016/17, so the wait has been going on for quite a while now. They’ve had a few decent cracks at promotion since, but have narrowly missed out every time.
Doesn’t mean your game card has gone quiet. Other live moments can still come in while the score stays put, so there’s a lot more to follow than waiting for a goal, which means you can still win if the game is tied!

Clean sheets in the Premier League and Championship

Five Premier League keepers have three clean sheets from five games, but Konstantinos Tzolakis has made the most saves of the group. In the Championship, George Wickens has matched Lawrence Vigouroux's four clean sheets while facing far more shots.

Eight Championship players are one yellow card from a ban

Eight Championship players are one yellow card away from a one-match ban. Card rates show who might be missing, and QPR should line up cover for Jake Clarke-Salter now.

Match Bingo Game Modes Explained

There are three game types on Match Bingo and they behave less alike than they sound. Live Games follow a real fixture as it's played. Bingoals swaps the fifteen events for fifteen teams and needs every one of them to score. Quick Games run every few minutes on football from last season, so there's nothing to wait for.

Does a New Signing Change Anything on Your Match Bingo Card?

Deadline day comes and goes and your card stays exactly as it was. Match Bingo cards are built from things that happen in a match, goals and corners and fouls, rather than from the players who make them happen. No name on a teamsheet reaches a single square. Here's what a signing does change, and what it doesn't.

Is Match Bingo Safe? Licensing, Fair Play and Player Protection

Two things usually sit behind that question: whether the company is real and regulated, and whether the game itself can be got at by somebody sharper than you. Match Bingo is operated by RTSB Limited under Gambling Commission account 51467, which takes about a minute to check. The second answer is duller: there's nothing to press.

What Is Football Bingo?

A card holds fifteen things that can happen in a football match, and each square marks itself the moment its event happens in the fixture you've chosen. You buy before kick-off, then you go and watch the game. Complete a horizontal row of five before anybody else and you take the fixed prize for that tier.
