Darlo Uncovered

It's not a week though is it!! A week to me starts on a Monday. We've conceded 10 in a week with no reply. This is bad enough, and proves the point you were making. You took two extra goals for extra effect ;) In itself factually inaccurate as Sunday is the first day of the week. Not according to t...

When travelling on the fan's coaches we used to look out for Lance Robson's bright yellow E-type Jag passing us at some point, which as he had surgery on Saturday mornings it virtually always did. As we had players from York, Grimsby and Leeds areas also I doubt they came to Darlo to get the bus to...

Non league moved on the EFL system about a year ago so it's done via IFAS. Which means that the purchasing club submit the application to register the player. The exception is work experience loans which have to be 'pushed' by players contracted club. No confirmations anymore of players moving 'out...

Most of it is. It is the purchasing club secretary who submits all the forms to the FA when a player is transferred... :D Unless things have changed in the last few years both signed the papers and when I was doing the job, (In the Southern League), it was whoever signed them last that sent them of...

So Hazel has his move lined up and now risks it falling through as now he’s still needed here. What a way to treat a player, tell him he’s not needed then expect him to risk missing out on his move…. Absolutely nothing wrong with holding off on the move while Asante builds his fitness and Nelson is...

It was a main reason why the Wright experiment didn’t work. Even if a couple of the new signings are moving into a club house in Darlington it still doesn’t do much for team spirit if they are all making their own way to a game. It would probably include the manager and assistant too. It’s not good...

Maybe this should be on the “truth” thread, but truth is that whenever I hear our manager in an interview I cannot stand the guy. His giggling and “ we’ve had a chat in there” comments are driving me mad. Surely that was an opportunity to accept a share of responsibility, thank the fans who travell...

I know Tuesday was dire but if the players aren't "good enough" how did we have two recent wins? Looking at the injury list and Burton going back we're really down to the bare bones. Ed will we in the league by the 29th century?!! Football will not exist. Rollerball will be the thing and only 12 te...

You've got to love the sense of entitlement of the modern day football fan.

But it is not fair having to lose.
Have you not heard the new thinking that everyone is a winner?
Honestly, get with the times, this is the 29th century for crying out loud!!!!!

OK I only watched last night on a poor TV stream and was not there in person. I was at our biggest-ever loss at Donny in 1964. At least back then we had the excuse that the side had been decimated the week before v Stockport having just sold probably our best forward,(France), to Stockport 2 days be...

7 now is this our worst defeat ever?

No, I was at Doncaster for that.

My first live footie was when I lived there in the 60s. Norman Ashe and Paul Cutler and games under the lights. Oh and ironically they ran out to Engelbert Humperdink singing the Last Waltz.

Good Southern League players. I was working in Hockley Heath at that time and saw them a few times.

IHope springs eternal. I've been working on the South coast, so I'm leaving my hotel at 4-30am to get back for the game, a total of 340miles!!! Go on then, I will have a guess. Somewhere between Lyme Regis and Torquay. Quite close Weymouth and wow it was worth getting up very early to watch today's...

I would never advocate mutiny on any scale,we have enough problems on the field without some idiot fans making it toxic, I am not happy with the situation but I am a Darlington fc supporter and no matter what I will continue to support the team to the fullest, we are Darlington FC we have been here...

As a norm, I would never like to see any club in this situation. But having lived in the area for many years, for this shower I will make an exception. Yes, the landowners have an agenda, but to try to put this on "an owner" as some are doing in the comments is way wrong. This mob have been living o...

Of course he's played for Wigan, but not for a while now. So why mention Wigan in your message about Williams? Despite Wigan winning the Grand Final very few Wigan players feature in the England squad and why on earth did Farrell not start last weekend? My point is that Wane has his favourites, mos...

Williams doesn't play for Wigan. I think it's a bit rich Wane saying that England are going for a clean sweep over Tonga. Let's face it, we should be thumping them and we have been very underwhelming in the first 2 tests. Not impressed. Did he not play 179 games for Wigwam mostly with Wane as his m...

Totally disgusted but not at all shocked that Wane brings back Williams for the 3rd test.
Simply because he is skipper? Or Wigwam?
Mickey Lewis has been the best English player on the pitch over 2 games, so why drop the player of the series?

Why shouldn't T T return he's done nothing wrong is a good standard NLN keeper , I think he will be better for the break he has had. All this nonsense of TT not being good enough is absolute rubbish. You don't blame your keeper for a poor defence which is supposed to cover him. Yes TT has his fault...

Going off of Twitter rumours this weekend. Apparently Adam Lakeland, then of Curzon, applied for the role & wasn't even given an acknowledgement. && Steve Watson was apparently 1st choice. At the recent fans forum DJ stated that one of the search conditions was that anyone under consideration must ...

The problem is that relegation won't be decided on the pitch, it'll be decided by a stupid formula, absolutely bonkers. The people in charge of RL need to give their heads a shake. Every fan I know at every club has been saying that for years. I still think we should go back to 2 leagues of 16 team...

This is crazy, basically the London Broncos are relegated from the Premiership before a ball is kicked. This can't be right or am I missing something? Here is the link. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/67215216 I have got quite friendly with a young guy from London who is basically a Bronco...

I'm impressed. Getting a player from a Championship I would say is quite a coup, even though he hasn't played in the first team. Well done Josh. :thumbup: Pete, Rossie thinks very highly of him. He went to Turkey with the first-team squad in pre-season rather than with the academy lads, and he is a...

Sorry but I don't give a hoot about knowing JG length of contract. He has only been with us a few week, and decision was made by a very competent board we have, if it is wrong that is what happens and I have undertaken a load of manager, (not football), interviews and am sure I got a few wrong. DJ ...

Far too harsh an assessment of Taylor in my view. It is all about opinions mate. I don't think I was being harsh on Taylor. We have a fragile defence that lacks confidence. That is totally obvious, and I simply do not think Taylor commands his box physically or verbally. That he is better than some...

I can't agree re' Taylor. He may be a good "shot-stopper" but you will find them all over the country in Sunday league games. We need someone who will control the defence in front of him and who can command the box and give confidence with his catching etc. None of which Taylor does. If Gowling can ...

The people getting on Josh’s back are getting on my tits. A.A. presided over a disastrous run of form running back to the start of the year - to think that anyone can come in and simply wave a magic wand is totally unrealistic. The most sensible comment I have seen in a long long time. How on earth...
