Darlo Uncovered

I went in to a gift shop on the south coast harbourside at Dartmouth last week; it was selling football regalia and I happened across a range of mugs and keyrings filed alphabetically. Naturally I looked under "D" and was surprised & delighted to find a really attractive mug and a keyring. The mug d...

Agree with that. The whole country was able to watch Blyth play Hartlepool in the early stages of the BBC's FA Cup coverage on a Friday night last year. How proud we would be, had it been Darlington.

Sorry for Blyth but not for Ashton.
Their bench were rather rude to me when when they came to HP.
Loking forward to seeing who joins Darlington next season.

That's very magnanimous of you to say so; thank you.

The long road back continues!
The steam roller rolls on!!!
Thank you Darlo for a thrilling season, it's been fantastic sharing every minute since last August!!!!!!!!

Just driven up from Dawlish to Catterick, in time to log on for the half time score!
This is fantastic, you couldn't write the script!
Blyth have shot their bolt and we're going up, up, up.
Let's have a score in double figures.
PS The Dawlish sea wall is all right too.

I always respect referees and linesmen who give their time, effort and energy to the game; many must have found they could never have made it as footballers, and have done the next best thing for the love of the sport. And good luck to them. But why do some go in to it, if they are so bad? If their ...

Phew!
Sounds like we played the referee as well.

Thanks Robsraiders; our posts crossed; I get that now.

Eh? Can you put that in plain English?

I've never undestood betting odds. What does 1/4 mean?
If you put a quid on at 1/4 what does that mean?
Do you win £4 or do you get £1.25?

Seems like we were evenly matched last night. I remember Frickley earlier this season at HP and they were a stiff side to beat. Surprised they haven't done better this season. Sounds like they took their chances well yesterday. We'l get behind the lads tomorrow night.

Look, every one of our successful promotion teams has has a reverse at this stage of the season; it happened just the same right back to 1967 when we lost 1-0 home to Newport County.
It's a blip.

Let's just take a deep breath and hold our nerves; it would be miraculous if Blythe won all their last games, even if they do have the easy run in.

Never mind, at this rate Blythe are going to be running out of games.

I see that Leicester fans were given free beer and a doughnut to celebrate the owner's birthday. Is that wise? A few years ago I came back from the pub one night, and mixed the several pints of real ale I'd had with a bag of doughnuts we'd bought earlier in the day. "Eat on day of purchase", it said...

Is it just me or do other people glaze over and switch off when watching England play? Fresh from watching Darlington's thrilling win over Halesowen on Saturday, I tuned in on Tuesday to watch the Holland match hoping for a repeat of the unexpected Berlin encounter. What we got was a reversion to th...

Darlo get 3 points when it matters, and England come back from 2-0 down to win in Berlin; what a great day!

I've known for years that if we ever got a vote on it again I'd vote out, so none of the fuss and hullabaloo that both sides are making would ever make me change my mind. If it was just a free trade organisation like we were conned in to believing in 1975, then fair enough. We now have the benefit o...

Thought today's game had draw written all over it - when their goal went in I thought it was going to be one of those days; Browny going off injured seemed a bad omen too. Referee made some strange decisions but gave the penalty when it mattered. In the event, Halesowen couldn't cope with the pressu...

Would love to know what Alan Shearer would say about Darlington's second goal if it was on Match of the Day. Our player appears to have at least six opposition players around him when he receives the ball, but still manages to hit the net with his back to goal. Also what has happened I wonder, to th...

The one that always fascinates me is the one where Carlisle goalkeeper Jimmy Glass scores in the last 20 seconds to keep his team in the football league after 72 years. I believe his goal also relegated Scarborough to the conference.

I'll stick a vote in for Gary Brown seing as no-one else has yet. Such a difference since he came back. Mr safety. And he even gets a few goals up front.

I felt we didn't create enough chances, especially in the first half. I thought the referee failed to spot dives where Ashton players apeared to go down as if pole-axed but where no contact occurred; the linesmen didn't seem to offer the ref any support when he didn't spot such things. When we score...

If you're not one of the lucky 250 and are going disguised a a Salford supporter, don't give the game away. No pyjamas.

Dads Army and All creatures great & small. Not everyones cup of tea perhaps, but any episode always makes me feel better for having watched it when it comes on.

Agree with onewayup, we should sometimes remind ourselves that our club is the one which came back from the dead. It puts every thing else we moan about in to perspective.

Ive always said we should shift the cricket club at Feethams. They only use it in summer, and only then when it's not raining.
There's a good stadium down Neasham Road that the cricket club could share with a rugby lot.

I can't believe no-one's picked up on the original fat cat's poetry; it's brilliant, rhyme and pentameter perfect! More please.

It saddens me that this pondlife is associated with our club. I don't want to breathe the same air as them. I wonder what suggestions the police themselves might offer and whether some sort of meeting with the police, or liason could be a way forward? The yobs themselves may be thick as pigshit but ...
