Darlo Uncovered

Good grief I'd forgotten about that.

On a day like today (or yesterday), there can only be one winner: football.

I once bumped into Ashley from Coronation Street on the eastbound platform at Covent Garden underground station. I noticed he was wearing slip-on shoes, so I told him his laces were undone. You can imagine the look on his face when he looked down and realised he didn't have shoelaces. Of course, eve...

This is not how I expected things to turn out at all. 7 for and 2 against? Pete, how many fake profiles did you set up for the sake of this poll?

There is no hope for FIFA, it cannot reform or ever recover from this. Its reputation is contaminated and can never be redeemed. It has to be dismantled and a new organisation set up to govern football. Or we just do away with football altogether, seeing as there's no governing body to look after i...

Well that's our season ruined then.

... to bring back the Roll of Honour? Ok, hear me out. Since Darlo_Pete stopped posting the ROH, I've visited this site much less regularly (granted, some will see this as a good thing). I still follow the club, but since my posts aren't being painstakingly and inexplicably counted and ranked agains...

I once gave Dwight Yorke a piggyback at Flamingo Land. It was raining and Flamingo Land has notoriously poor drainage, so the water was several inches deep. Dwight was wearing expensive shoes, so he paid me £3.50 to carry him so he could get on the carousel without getting his feet wet.

I was once on a plane to Nice and sat right behind Leslie Ash. Because I was getting off the plane, she asked if I had been sat behind her, when I said it was, she gave me a big smile. Without wishing to be mean, I don't think Leslie Ash has much control over her facial expressions these days. She ...

I met Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Goofy at Disneyworld or Disneyland or both of those places.

I once walked past General Ratko Mladic pushing a baby stroller on Upper Street in London.

Oh, and Matt Berry called me a c*** by writing the word "c***" on an apple and handing it to me.

I had you down as a Waitrose man.

I hear Bert Bossu might be available.

While I admire your entrepreneurial spirit, I'm not sure this is the right place to sell your children.

You might not know it, but Darlo have a huge fan base out here in Nairobi.

Many of the buses have David Dowson's face painted on the back, which can be a bit of a distraction and sadly causes a lot of fatal accidents.

Our club is called Darlington FC, but the FA choose to call us by another name. That's their right, but it doesn't change our name. Does that mean Darlington Football Club also has the right to refer to the FA with any name the club sees fit? What would be the repercussions, if any, if the club beg...

Selected by random number generator, as usual:

1) The Package
2) Monbeg Dude
3) Mr Moonshine
4) Battle Group
5) Hunt Ball

Mowden's chairman is right to draw our attention to the escalators, although I can't believe he doesn't say anything about the state-of-the-art urinal facilities.

Best of luck at Wembley next weekend. Will be there as a neutral; going with Tunbridge Wells fans...

Fucking buck your ideas up this time Pete, looks like we got embarrassed by Karlsruhe the other week. You know a lot of people's hopes are riding on this, right?

Tell Bob to pull his fucking finger out too.

What's all this then? I've not been on here much lately and don't have the energy to read any of it, but given that this thread has reached 20 pages I can only assume that Ted Forster has returned, died, come back to life, insulted Andy Park, re-kindled the Roll of Honour debate, organised an ill-fa...

The demand for this must be astronomical: http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/a-league/heskey-cam-watch-emile-heskey-live-and-exclusive-on-and-off-the-ball-in-newcastle-victory-game/story-e6frf4gl-1226502461800 Oh, and while we're on the subject of Heskey, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Well I guess this shows today's performance in a different light. Fair play to him for braving a dodgy cruciate - a little worrying though.

Today was the first time I've been this season. Poor quality match compared to the stellar standards that we are used to as Darlo fans, but I felt we improved in the 2nd half. Judging by his first half performance, that Jamie Owens would've been a quality signing - he tore our defence to shreds when...

I only saw a bit of it mid-way through and assumed it was just the Swedish version of Wallander. Couldn't work out why Steve Van Zandt would be in that...

Maybe I'll give it a go on iPlayer.

From the Facebook page of Darlington Neighbourhood Police Teams: "We received a call yesterday evening regarding noise nuisance at the former home of Darlington Football Club, at the stadium on Neasham Road. Youths were said to be driving around the car park at high speed, pulling ‘donuts’. One of o...

Does this apply to stuff bought from Amazon Marketplace too? What about stuff bought with gift vouchers rather than actual money? I've been buying a fair few books off Amazon Marketplace with gift voucher credit lately and I have no idea whether any of it's gone to Uncovered, that's why I ask.

Can you imagine though, folk voting knee jerk reactions without the full facts , members of 1883 sat looking, when they have given so much of there time without question trying to save the club how they would feel with a no confidence vote, when in fact it would be a uninformed vote as we are not a...

I understand we have a reasonable following down in London. Olympic Stadium might still be up for grabs if West Ham don't get it.

Just did another one... came up with: Band name: Missouri locations by per capita income Album name: I've always been insufferable http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7124/7107469443_6136664641_m.jpg Little-known American garage band who are actually know as "Missouri locations by GDP per capita" in the U...

Incidentally, DC, do the people who sit near you at matches also think Quakerz should be banned? I for one would like to hear their views on this.
