Darlo Uncovered

Shields were as good as full time anyway. The only players who werent full time seem to have been released.

I wonder if he hadn’t been our ‘Knight in shining armour’ and paid off our debts would we have went bust and lost Feethams anyway? I like to think if he hadn’t turned up that day we’d have found another buyer or ended up starting again at Feethams and 20 years later we’d be in a much better positio...

In his final season for Darlo when he played as a striker I think he was brilliant to watch. Remember away wins at Shrewsbury and Scarborough when he looked unplayable. And then we sold him for next to nothing. I think he is a really underrated Darlo player . . Hence my username. He had just bought...

Wheatley. Consistent performer.

Didn’t we sign a Dutch keeper at roughly the same time? Frank Van De Geest, mentioned in the article I think! Yes, and he was excellent from what I remember, but sods law we had Collett at the time so he only really got a few cup games. I think Kaak has a bit of cult status as he was the first of t...

18 shots suggests we are far from shot shy. What we are bad at mainly is making the correct choice when in possession at key moments and switching off when we don't have possession in key moments. Take both their goals today, first one Liddle switches off when they break into the box meaning his run...

To anyone who feels a little uneasy about playing in the Trophy after pausing our league games, I would say "think again". We owe the league absolutely nothing. With their unbelievable incompetence they have screwed us right over, us and numerous other clubs too. We have lost money and are losing m...

I'm reliably informed that although his name is Anton Kaak, he preferred to be called Tom, not Ton.

I'm surprised at young Dan King making such a huge error.

Think its a case of he would answer to either Ton or Tom, the latter more than likely down to people thinking it was Tom!

Anton Kaak was his name as far as I remember, so Ton Kaak is correct.....

I think we are playing safe by playing when we are meant to, or at least being available to play, until the result of the ballot is published. Technically the league can take action against clubs refusing to play until this is resolved, whether that be fines or even point reductions applied next sea...

an outrageous dive from Mark Hine at Boston in 1989 - 'the guy might have clipped my heel' - that Les McJannet, I think, converted.

Converted by Trevor Cleaver aka David Corner

I think this thread just proves how out of touch some referees actually are with the game. You start yellow carding people for what might happen than what actually did happen then the game will be turned into a non contact sport. Wheatley won the ball cleanly, the lad wasn't injured, carry on and st...

Be interesting if the tackle had been on Wheatley rather than him making it whether the views would be the same.

I'd say exactly the same, the ball was won cleanly, not a foul in any sense of the word.

Great chance of making the last 4 (on paper), but could not have asked for a better draw.Could be 90 mins from Wembley, my god what a thought. Sent from my moto g(6) play using Tapatalk Technically if we beat Hornchurch, the semi-final has in the past been played over 2 legs, not to say that will h...

No it's the law. Tackling without consideration for the safety of an opponent is a caution - by the laws of the game. Agree or not that is the definition of a reckless tackle. If a referee doesn't caution they are incorrect in law. They get marked accordingly in the system and their 'career' trajec...

It's a tricky one Old Git.

Someone had the idea on here that if we pay and organise for full testing before the game, then that might neutralise any criticism aimed at us.

And if someone gets a positive test the game will be off anyway haha!

Michael Smith is at Rotherham now, not Charlton.

Not a cat in hell's chance, it's the put in that way so that they the national league management can control the outcome to their satisfaction

Just like when they have someone up on a charge at the FA, its always worded so that they'll find you guilty!

The Chinese government changed the terms for bailing out NLN and NLS football clubs and the premise for beginning the season did they? :lol: I don't know what is more embarrassing, the post itself, or those lining up to agree for it. I suppose it's really rather easy blaming Jonny Foreigner than lo...

Some of our fans would do well to remember exactly who is putting us in this position the next time they come to vote. And how exactly would we go about voting down the Chinese government? In hindsight, it begs the question of whether or not it is appropriate for public money to be used to finance ...

During which players will still need to be paid and cannot be furloughed. The can is being kicked down the road. Why can’t the players be furloughed? Can you furlough for 2 weeks then restart? We won't be able to train or anything if the season does restart. Also, if we carry on with the trophy the...

Pull the season. Its the only sensible option if there are no grants.

Old news that
It was Mardenboroughs big claim to fame before he signd for the mighty Darlo.

I know I’m considerably younger than you, Robbo, but I’m still amazed I didn’t know that

Considerably?

The alternatives are we do a fan vote on "which supplier?" and then "which four from these 20 templates do you want?" An alternative to this suggestion is to say something like the following :- If we go with Joma your replica top will cost £40 but if we go with Adidas for example it will be £60 for...

In fairness I was going off the most recently available information and acknowledged it wasn’t up-to-date. Lo was just plain wrong. But in terms of fans not attending, I don’t know how much it would impact. You could argue fans would be more likely to buy kits, to help the club out financially and ...
