Didn't see the 'Boro game but I gather Allahyar scored a belter? Hopefully he'll pick up a few more now, he certainly puts the effort in.

Just watched some highlights, ok maybe not a belter but 'glancing header at the front post' doesn't really do it justice!

If I were you I'd get him a season pass. Rosie football is not edge of seat nail biting stuff. Your dad will be fine
