Re: Darlington V Southport

Wish Rushall would just F off. Ridiculous the run we have put together and it’s still all to play for.

Win next week and I hope we can breathe easier. Would’ve preferred Blyth or Farsley stop up. Obviously not at our expense, worried about that first and foremost.

Re: Easter Monday at Warrington Town

Wish Rushall would F off. If we’d even scraped a draw there somehow (not that we deserved it) we would be a good bit more relaxed. Blyth and Farsley I’d say are in a spot of bother but there’s so much that could still go wrong. I’m very nervous. Delighted we have made it a battle but it would be abs...

Re: Darlington V Chorley

It’s more than a centimetre but yes, also, inches is silly.

Very clearly over the line is enough, no need to add extra distance. It’s a poor, poor decision.

We were always going to lose some games on the run in. Some big home games to come.

Re: Leamington new ground

If only DFC could get some real strong local government support behind us and build the football club into the local plan. https:...

Re: Rushall v Darlington

Still plenty to fight for, yes. Brutal to lose though. Playing this way it’s inevitable we will lose some games. Hopefully we can win enough to make the difference at the end of the season.

Re: What's the point of fan ownership?

Fully yes. The pipe only restricts at most a third of the away end. We know there is enough space to develop to step 1 standard. Not quite true. It restricts up to half of the away end and also part of the main stand side - it runs diagonal through the stadium footprint. There's a reason the stand ...

Sick and tired of saying it but we are asking players to play in positions that don't suit them.

Re: Blue card & sin bins

The deterrent of yellow cards hasn’t been enough - primarily because they are not handed out nearly enough or quite often officials don’t hand them out to players already booked as they don’t want the drama. The way around that is normalising it and telling people you’re doing it within the existing...

I share Postecoglu's view on this. If you introduced it, the absolute shithousery of time-wasting that would ensue in the time the player is 'sin-binned' would be horrendous. For me, the institutionalised time-wasting that has become endemic in the game is absolutely awful and the thing I dislike mo...

I dont know), but more importantly for me he looked a down, and a beaten man on the interviews in t...

I don’t really understand that part, surely the right thing to do is limp through to the end of the season with whatever you can put on the field (which probably gets you relegated if you have to cut cloth dramatically) and take the relegation. Pulling out of the league should land you as low in the...

I genuinely believe we would have picked up more points than this current mess. It’s not an insane compliment, given what the results have been. Rehiring him would obviously be bonkers, but I cannot believe the new manager wasn’t mandated to work with what he has, given the circumstances.
