Darlo Uncovered

Mulligan's injured at the moment and has been for a few weeks now. He'll probably be fit for this match though.

Singh did mention in his programme notes that there was a lot of negativity around concerning Darlo. I did think at the time he was largely meaning the message board. At the end of the day he is right a lot of what gets posted on here is negative. My thoughts are that a lot of it is crap while some ...

Must admit as soon as I saw the tackle I said red card. As has been said the first half was a non entity. The usually reliable Gary Smith didn't get started along with the rest of the team. Only Senior looked like he was trying. I only pick Gary Smith out because he does seem the player pulling most...

The box is for the winner plus 9 of your friends although there is no minimum, you could go in by yourself if you wanted to. I'm not sure about the dress code but I would expect it to be the same as for all the other boxes. I must admit I think this is a fairly good initiative by the club, probably ...

I was obviously one of the luckier ones today and got a programme. For those who also got one what did you think of the content? I wasn't too impressed. I know it's the start of the season and there isn't loads to talk about other than pre season, but I thought there were less articles than last yea...

Had a quick chat with presumably some director/officials from Newport after the match in the RG (they were sat in the director section during the match). They thought we were better in the first half and were pleased the way they came out and played in the second half, apparently that's how they use...

As sound as it may sound, is the first day of a new season one of your favourite days of the year?

I'm not trying to have a go at the club, I just think in regards to season ticket collection a lot of potential problems could be avoided if the ticket office stayed open for an extra hour each night this week.

Hilly - I used to be one of those ST holders in the south - note I said "first match they attend". As for picking your ticket up on Sat - there were no problems last year and the system will be even better this year. A lot of clubs are late with ST packages this year because of new logos and printi...

Just rang the ticket office. They will be closing at 5 o'clock all week, don't they realise people work and usually don't finish until 5. I know in previous years they've stayed open later. Even if they stayed open until 6 o'clock it would help people get up their. Obviously you can still get your t...

Quite a nice little incentive on the official site for season ticket holders. If you pay £20 per season, or £1 on a game by game basis, you get entered into a draw to go into one of the corporate boxes for the day. It's limited to 200 season ticket holders per draw so there's more chance of winning....

When was he released by Boro as he served his YT at Carlisle?!

He was at the Boro Academy.

This is the lad I posted about last year. Apparently the reason he was released by Boro was that 'all he could do was score goals'. Fancy that a striker who can only score goals.

Just to qualify my 'vile little scumbag' comment. I was talking about his on field antics and mainly the swearing snarling little git he is. He's supposed to be a role model but all he ever does is unleash four letter tirades at officials. He's not the only one but he does it with so much venom and ...

I think the main reason his temperament has been questioned again is because it's happened in consecutive matches.

Regardless of how good a player he is, he's still a vile little scumbag.

How about 'I Love This Town' by Bon Jovi. Before I get mauled yes the main downside is Bon Jovi are as cheesy as a piece of stilton matured over 10 years (or 25 years in their case), upsides it's upbeat and the words are relevant because we do all love our town (the football club that is). http://ww...

Thing is hasn't Capello banned the players from being contacted by agents and stuff in South Africa, so we have no chance of getting any of the England squad until after they get knocked out of the World Cup, or win it. Ha 'win it' what planet am I on.

Got three tickets today, two renewals and one new supporter, all with the Ron Greener membership. Cost me over £500 after I bought the shirt and friendly ticket offer, but we all know it's well worth it. There was a steady trickle of people going in. A couple just left when I got there and another 3...

Are you getting a season ticket? - Yes as well as my son and I'll probably be getting a ticket for the Ron Greener suite (those hot beef sandwichs at half time was the only highlight last season) Why? - Because I've been going to watch us play since I was 4 (am 38 now) and I can't help my self. It's...

Did anyone notice the Dagenham sub who was just about to come on at the final whistle. His name was Walsh and he was the spitting image of the one time Darlo great Alan Walsh. Was it his son?

Out of all the youth players out there today, McCready looks to have the most potential. He's not even close to becoming the finished article but seems fairly comfortable on the ball and doesn't panic. At 17 to write a player like this off his incredibly stupid. Mr Coops you might be right he may no...

Was right behind the goal and knew as soon as it hit his head it was going in. I'm still sure to this day I was the first to start celebrating, because I knew it was going in before it hit the net (yes I know that's a load of old bollocks). Other than that my only other memory was piling on the pitc...

Didn't the conference have a league cup competition called the Bob Lord trophy last time we were in the conference. Must be defunct now. Didn't we get to the semi-final of that as well.

Not sure if it's been mentioned (can't be boshed to look through the posts) but there were three lads in the directors area during the game. According to the steward in that area they are three trialists from Holland. Whether this is true or not I'm not sure but this could be a very interesting summ...

Take out the young kids from tonight (haven't seen enough of them and are too young for me to make any sort of judgement), I can't honestly say we should keep anyone of the established pros from that team tonight. Convery runs around and does little else, although he does have the advantage of exper...

Somebody may put me right but I'm sure we played Barrow on Boxing Day/New Years Day last time we were in the conference. Wasn't it 0-0 in both matches?

Seem to remember them putting us in a stand which had no roof and they were appealing for donations. Think we raised about £4.53

Is anyone going to the comedy night at the Arena this coming Saturday? I quite fancy it but don't wanna go if it's going to me, the Mrs and a smattering of others. For anyone interested it's £15 and starts at 7pm - late. The comedians on are Matthew Osborn - English comedian of the year 2009, John G...

Not sure if this has been mentioned but it seems as if both Darlo and the Hangers have been dropped from this years Northern Masters. We've been replaced by Rangers and Celtic. Pity, the last two have both been fun to go and watch. Teams included are: Newcastle – Sunderland – Middlesbrough – Celtic ...

Weird sort of game today. We played quite good attacking football for the first 20-25 mins and Thomas looked very good on the wing. If our distribution had just been slightly better we could have had 2-3 very good chances, other than the goal. After that Burton pushed us back and we played very much...

When we got beat by Kings Lynn or the Loss to Stevenage
