Re: York v Darlington

It was definitely off side a friend who is a York city fan was directly in line and doesn't know how the linesman allowed play to continue. He said the player was a good 5 yards offside if not more. He also said the score flattered York and a draw would have been a fairer result. Just seen the high...

Re: York v Darlington

Agree never understand why Cassidy flicks the ball on when other forwards are out on the wings, might work with Tyrone but waste of time otherwise. First half we controlled game and had a few long range efforts. Second half the wheels came off, York changed the team and it worked, our distribution ...

Re: Meadows Moans

We could have the best groundsman on the planet but if there’s no way of getting regular water on to the surface then it’s a losing battle.

Re: Darlo v Kettering

Yes, the ball clearly bounces off the Kettering player and goes forward to the scorer who was well offside. It should have been disallowed. The linesman got it wrong. He told the ref that Griffiths played the ball forward to the scorer which was incorrect. I stand corrected, after watching it sever...

If the opportunity came up to meet with the Minister in charge of sport at any time I’d hope that we would grab it with both hands irrespective of who the party in charge was.

Happy to explain what we have access to and how we viewed the incident. Firstly, we are now sat in the back row of the seats, so don’t have as good a view as we used to have. Nonetheless, I think we had a reasonable view of this incident, albeit not from very close. Everybody has seen and heard our ...

Re: When is null & void.......

Devils advocate but if it’s a new competition why should it be placed at step 2? At the last count it was down to 16 interested teams I think, and they’re trying to claim 2 promotion spots out of that. From a Darlo point of view I’d be disappointed if the outcome is that we lose the revenue from hom...

We’re not able to release these until after the league embargo otherwise we were going to do this. Streaming live is permitted, but anything else has to be after the embargo.

Great news if true....fingers crossed.
