Darlo Uncovered

Holness will play RB, New lad in midfield?

After last Saturday I’d definitely say Laing could be pressed in as a makeshift forward. He caused mayhem on the Ssddlers’ defence and won all flick-ons

Another project club, bankrolled by a character ‘made good’ (stretching it perhaps)...another future ‘ending in tears’ scenario in the making IMO

It’s tough. We’re short of bodies but they may never get the chance to represent their country against a huge opponent again. Can we manage without them?

A quick scan of the comments on their FB page and it’s clear to see that many of their fans can see us winning. It’d doom and gloom there at the moment. Darrell Clarke is questioning the players’ desire etc. It’s got ‘shock’ written all over it. Only downer is that the negativity will produce a poo...

Sounds harsh but I don’t think Elliott would have kept Leamington out yesterday or commanded his box like Connell did. He was immense and inspired confidence in both the back four and the travelling fans. Hopefully we can keep him

They’re getting a panning on DFR

AA would love a target man. He said as much to myself and Quakerman2 post-Motherwell. Thing is big target men are rare and/or expensive these days as the fashion among the bigger clubs/academies is now to sign small, mobile forwards, hence why there are more of them knocking around at lower levels. ...

Blyth got in there with no investment (by which you really mean a benefactor willing to donate money with no return). We are pretty much a brand new team and will take time to gel. Also remember Blyth had McGuire to play up front whereas our ‘no 9’ is smaller than Thommo. Alun said it’d be like this...

Nathan Cartman is ripping this league up

1 down , Beck

Hope he didn’t celebrate

Am sure Holloway was there v Motherwell. Maybe not

Me and Quakerman had a good chat with AA after the match. To summarise: Hatfield is a key signing (a ‘nasty t**t’ that he was missing at Blyth). Work to be done with Campbell after his years as a winger in the FL. Pace and movement cause chaos in this league. Big forwards are now hard to find/expens...

They have brought a great following.

Aye...just the right mix of eye candy and hardened drinkers with the odd indie frontman chucked in for good measure

0-1. Keeper sliced backpass behind for a corner (looks a good shot stopper though) They scored a rebound goal from the knock-down. Playing well, looking fit, solid at back/defensive midfield (Holness and Hatfield). Good going forward but wee Campbell too lightweight/small for this league?? Early day...

I'd sign Hatfield tomorrow. In fact I’d not let him out of the car park tonight until the ink’s dry

Initial thoughts...the Bermudan CF is a big unit. You can see Burn’s ability in the warmup. He owes it to himself to perform. We also look a lot leaner than we did at PSV. Some of the impressive bellies from Lanarkshire would have fitted in well at that game. Oh yeah.. and Campbell is much smaller t...

Yeah I thought that Vic. Bascombe talked in that article about next season as though he’d be here

I remember it well. The belly struggled to fit in it at times. Vic I wore it when we played Kirk Douglas’s team on that Sunday morning when we had huge bellies and monstrous hangovers...I scored a cracking volley to put us one up but it quickly unraveled as the opposition worked out that they’d giv...

I used to have one with the 3-D no 9 on the back. I think I got it (and the red/black ‘Brasso’ away one) direct from Jack Hatfield’s shop in Middlesbrough

I doubt they’d be able to afford a legal battle given their current plight. As one fan on their Facebook page commented, they’ve gone from being in with a shout of NL football to this exodus in just a few days. I’d say the faux outrage is a diversion tactic to deflect from the true root cause of all...

Their fans are full of praise for him/his efforts, the players and even for our fans and board. Their ire is directed at their own board

‘Wey it was the perfect fit fur wor’...already looking forward to his interviews

Well...Sean Reid has just left Blyth for Morpeth, maybe the other AA won’t be far behind him through the exit door

And now an interview with Bascombe

http://www.royalgazette.com/soccer/arti ... ton-return

Seems odd to be in "advanced talks" abut a new contract when we don't have a Manager yet?

Maybe the manager is doing the negotiating? (AW cough cough)

If it is AA then maybe he'd bring Daz Holloway with him, also ex-Darlo

Great article Vic. Would love to see them play Haiti and Nicaragua

Kings Lynn for me...just down the road

In line with tradition at this great footballing institution, the official news of the appointment will then be conveyed on paper, written on the reverse of the original facsimile sheet containing the Golden Share. This framed document will be carried out of the clubhouse by Paul Connor and Michael ...
