Darlo Uncovered

Pete, you truly are a prize bellend.

We've already raised nearly £500

Edit 2 minutes later: £700

I doubt it is the seats that raise the running costs per se (although they do need cleaning /replacing if worn). It is more that more likely that more seats means bigger concrete and steel infrastructures which do need substantial maintenance. Also having more seats also means more service faciltiie...

Any content which features them two and is endorsed by Hutchy = slanderous bullshit.

I never saw the offending FB posts but assume they were triggered by a (now removed) Twitter thread from a former director who really needs to just fook right off?

To say he is coming for a payday is utter drivel. The lad has just been promoted from L2 - if he wanted the money I am sure he could have earned antoher 1 year FT contract elsewhere. What he might be thinking is he can pair the wage from us with another venture he will be financially sound - I see n...

I see York have just put in a counter suggestion (unsurprisingly) that those teams finishing 2nd in both NLN and NLS get promoted automatically, and the original intended 4 teams are relegated from the NL.

Have to say I think they have a decent case.

I think we'd need to specify which 'version' of said players we would take!

For example, Adam Reed looked a world beater before diving off to Blackburn. When he returned to looked like he had spent the time between in ballet school.

Consulting with fans across the country would be painstakingly slow and tell them nothing new. The shock findings woudl be: - Fans of clubs like Shields think we should find a way to complete the season; - Clubs like BPA are surprisingly content; - Everyone in between are torn between playing it out...

https://twitter.com/durhammariners/status/1212635824745074688?s=21 So the fence was already loose at the Gateshead game There are serious questions as to whether that fence, which was acting as a crush barrier, meets the Green Guide requirements for horizontal load of a crush barrier. If it did not...

What bothered me was the fact that the police seem to be stationed outside at FT. They clearly were not instructed / arsed enough to go and assist the stewards in front of the Tin Shed.

Genuine question Harry - do you actually think you are funny?

Genuinely giutted for all the Bury fans - as a Darlo fan that started attending through the early 90s they are inextricably linked to my formative Darlo years. That 4-0 at Feethams in 96 man 8-) Only thing I should add which will contribute to your adventure - if you end up below step six (i.e. unde...

I think the broader point is that the playoffs have not (externally at least) been mooted as a target. Only the standard pre-season enthusiasm got a few people forgetting the period of transition necessary and starting to dream of a top 7 challenge. The reality is that will take time and the injury-...

The Kebab Shop team from Sensible Soccer would wipe the floor with your Tewkesburys and all those other teams beginning with the letter 'K'.

In my head I instantly think of you having Pitta Bread at CB and Pickled Cabbage as the enigmatic number 10.

Not quite - Kennedy missed our last penalty but Rochdale still had to take (and score) theirs.

A couple of others to ponder: 99/00: A 2-2 draw against Shrewsbury as we stuttered towards blowing automatic promotion. They went 2-0 up with 88 minutes gone and we someone clawed it back. Pitch invasion tasitc! 2002ish? Darlo 3-2 Luton: Sheeeeerrraaaannnn. 2001: Forest away, a 2-1 win from going be...

Why is it sad?

People are always likely to change their mind after such a pathetic performance. However I would suspect here it is more people being reminded of the reality outside our little 3-game bubble of false hope.

You obviously don’t come on here often then, I said ages ago I thought Wright’s time was up. The difference is with me is that if he stays he will still have my support despite the fact he has plenty of faults that seem to keep popping up. Mind you if we win our last two games we end up on the same...

How this debate reminds me very much of the Brexit omnishambles: 1 It clearly splits the fanbase; 2 People keep wanting another vote on it; 3 Intelligence and reason seem primarily loaded on one side of the argument; 4 Robbo and I couldn't agree less. How this differs very much from the Brexit deba...

Well, aye, if you replaced him with De Gea then we'd probably be top half.

But to suggest any single player has cost us a playoff berth is madness. We are bang average / gash all over the pitch.

Geordie quaker, another who doesn't get it :roll:, tut tut. It's not all infinitely about what you or I think. You are consistently one of the thickest contributors to this board and the idea that you think I'm missing something (whilst not even vaguely alluding to what this is) is enough to compro...

Darlogramps, I venture you just don't get it do you, :roll: He gets it infinitely better than you do. It's your brand of generic, Up the Quakers, all will come good bollocks that's the real danger here. There is no evidence base to suggest TW and AW can improve us moving forward. For all the talk o...

I assume that by 'improving' you are isolating the last two matches alone? What other possible metric coudl you be using to suggest that he is getting better as a manager?

Those determined to keep Wright for next season seem to be basing it one thing: hope.

Forgive me for finding the above unconvincing. I see little evidence of TW developing as a manager. Some of the upturns in his management of us seem to have been forced by things like injuries rather than judgment, and his tactical naivety is at time staggering. Also, how confident are we giving TW ...

Thinking back twenty years, there were normally only a handful of strong Conference sides that had realistic aspirations of making it in the football league. Fast forward to 2019, and there seems to be clubs from as far as tier 7/8 with said dreams and a local business-done-good types willing to ban...

So what’s AW’s role in all this ? He was a very good defender, he has the knowledge he’s got to know what needs doing. He clearly adds bot all. Based on his playing days and fitness coaching since, you would have assumed that as an assistant manager he would: - Get the defense organised; - Have the...

The more I think about it, the decision to make Styche captain was absolute madness. Quite high in the roll call of TW fook-ups, infact. I don't know enough about high level football to say whether a forward should / can be an effective captain, but I do know that if you have someone who puts the ba...

Putting the unnecessary level of nit picking going on in this thread to one side, I want to throw my hat in the ring as very much pro-Styche, and in many ways it surprises me how quickly people forget his goals-to-game ration and how pivotal that was in reigniting last season for us. As said above, ...
