Re: Telford v Darlo

On AAs grumbles with fans, I think he's more having a go at a few of the idiots at the game. I had a right go at one who was in particular singling Lambert out last week. Yes, everyone has a grumble at players, but shouting vitriol at them isn't going to help make them play better.

Re: Buxton v Darlo

Sorry my perceived dig at Tommy was very much tongue in cheek and aimed at the give people a chance brigade. The first person on the team sheet each week should always be Tommy. On Cartman if my very wobbly memory serves me correctly, Cartman and Beck rarely played together. I'm sure I debated it at...

Re: Buxton v Darlo

Haha no I'm not who you might think I am. For all his faults he was much more eloquent. PorterDFC, if Hazel was played instead of Beck it would mean Beck had been dropped. That's clearly obvious whether you agree with Hazel having a chance or not. For the record I'm not advocating Beck can never be ...

Re: Buxton v Darlo

So because you think Hazel hasn't been given a fair chance, your answer is to drop Beck the 2nd highest scorer in the league? You're not really suggesting that are you?

Re: Buxton v Darlo

There really are some strange people on here. Dropping our top goal scorer now so we can shoehorn Hazel into his preferred position is the daftest thing I've heard since the same poster said Alun should have had a go at the team at half time when we were 2-0 up against Brackley.

Re: Darlington V Brackley

Being 2-0 up at half time and then expecting AA to rollick them because the other team will have been, could be the dumbest things I’ve read on here for along time. In contrast though saying we should have changed formation after they had changed to 3-5-2 is totally acceptable. I know it’s easy to s...

Although I totally agree Wheater should have gone off straight away, the Griffiths injury on Tuesday was not the same. There was no break in play at all and Griffiths went off at the first opportunity.

Re: Darlington V Southport FA Cup

In the highlights alone Hedley broke up play even against Southports best player on the day, so to say it was his worst game in a couple of years is a bit harsh. As I said in my earlier post, our full backs are getting little support from others on the team. When we go forward our wingers are double...

Re: Darlington V Southport FA Cup

One of those that's a bit harsh on the defender because Felix cuts across him and gets his ankle clipped accidentally, but that's still a foul and as no attempt was made to get the ball it has to be a red card no ifs no buts. The defender doesn't really make any effort to plead his innocence either.

Re: Spennymoor Away (KO 1pm)

The ball was definitely out of play, but Lambert was still going for it if that makes sense, it was one fluid movement. Their coach/Morley should not have gone for it.

I’m not sure it was Morley who took Lambert out, they have a coach who looks very similar, I thought it was him.

Definitely onside and Beck isn’t fouled. If you give that, then you disallow our first against Gloucester last week when Hazel challenges with the keeper and he ends up on the ground. Hedley could have stepped and Purver is a little eager in going in for the challenge knowing Lawler is out of positi...

Once Purver and Lambert got into the game so did we. Although I agree we were play...
