Re: Massive credit to Watson and the board
It's not completely out of the realm of possibility: with us being part time, it may work with him spending half his time with us and half with Sunderland's youth team, especially with him being so young.

Re: Darlington V Southport
Brilliant performance today, we made an in form side look very ordinary. Never heard the MOTM or crowd announced as per usual. But in my humble opinion I thought Tom Platt was immense and deserved MOTM, although Cedric Main was terrific as well. Crowd looked around 1800, hopefully we'll get over 20...

Re: Rushall tickets
Looking on NLTV website our game at Rushall is not listed as being available to watch, which is disappointing. I would have thought there would be plenty of demand from Darlington supporters to stream this game given how crucial it is. I can see that we could take around 400 fans, especially if it ...

Oh I fully understand the logic of keeping no deal on the table. But it is monumentally stupid logic. Firstly, stop pretending this is some kind of ordinary negotiation. It isn’t.

Re: Democracy under threat.
Well, if I’d ever said that the EU’s standards are better than its member countries, you’d have a point.

Re: Democracy under threat.
To me wanting to have the no deal option is like saying “If you don’t give us a good deal, we’re going to shoot ourselves in the legs.” It’s not much a strategy to threaten to massive economic damage to yourself in protest at not getting the deal you want. That’s why I’m relaxed about no deal not h...

The new deal is a minor improvement on May's deal but most of it is pretty much the same. Some of the worst points: 1) It restricts our military action. 2) It restricts our foreign policy. 2) They have access to our waters during the transition period, and any future FTA is dependent on this continu...

It’s called the Supreme Court for a reason, it’s higher than the High Court - it’s the ultimate arbiter on interpretation of the law, it doesn’t make laws and it doesn’t make political decisions. It sits in judgment when asked to clarify a point of law and when it has already been through the lower...

Nope, I’ve said that the WA and Trade Deal are linked - the EU say they are linked, not independent of each other. The trade deal will not follow a No Deal as though somehow the EU will just waive the terms of the WA. The EU have consistently said that the 3 outstanding elements of the Withdrawal A...
