Darlo Uncovered

As well as looking good yesterday, we also looked good. This kit is, IMO, the smartest away kit we have ever had.

I also liked a few in the mid 90s but what other good ones I am forgetting?

What a signing Sousa looks to be . To think if we had not been drawn against Tadcaster in the cup we wouldn't have seen him.
Great performance. Hunt another big positive today but everyone good.

Important as many fans as possible use the streaming service for home games I think. I always like to believe there are loads of exiled Darlo fans who can't get to games but love the club every bit as much as we did when we lived in Darlo . Well now we can attend en masse from our homes and it could...

I thought everyone in the defence played ok. We lost the match in midfield in my opinion.

First time viewer/or listener to the radio . Really great job. Commentary good, highlights package done well.
. . Do we keep the money it raises? If so an even better job for both club and fans. Well done to everyone involved.

First experience of watching Darlo in my spare room in West Yorkshire. . . . Great to be able to do this but erm yeah the game: I thought we looked pretty decent for the first seven seconds until Hatfield went off.

I wonder whether people will be keen to ever go back to BM once we have watched a football match from above ground level again.

The foresight from George Reynolds to predict a global pandemic nearly two decades in advance is astonishing.

Exactly this. Darlington football club. Home of social distancing since 2003. I actually cannot wait.

(Will make it easier for exiles to come to games too I think.)

The hooped kit looks particularly good I think. One of the best we have had and will buy next season. I was one of those who was up for a change but hey ho, I think the club did the right thing putting it to another vote with a hooped option. The only depressing thing about this whole debate is real...

I have loved pretty much all of our hooped shirts - and I do associate the kit with Darlo success: Back to back titles under Brian Little, the great 95-96 team, the FA trophy and our rise through the non leagues but my reaction when I saw these was 'Oh good something a bit different.' I wonder if it...

I agree with this team almost entirely. Would just have Cartman in ahead of Armstrong. And maybe Ferguson in there too. But having said that Galbraith has been one of our most important players of the decade no doubt. Russell Trotman Brown Galbraith Ferguson Turnbull Hatfield Bridge-Wilkinson Thomps...

In fairness to Armstrong he had to pretty much build a whole new team with not much of a budget and then has had some injuries to cope with. Listening to his interviews I think he can see what the shortcomings of the squad are. I like what I have seen from the some of the players he has brought in. ...

I thought we were pretty good. Certainly the better team in the first half. Several non Darlo fan text me to say Thompson was the best player on the park. Hatfield also great and Liddle whose distribution was fantastic. As everyone knows we need a striker. I suspect Campbell would work well in a 4-...

We have been very unfortunate with injuries but this is a much grimmer start than I was expecting - particularly away from home where we simply look more like conceding than scoring. I don't live in Darlington so tend to go to more away games than home - perhaps thats why I am feeling more pessimist...

Its early days and I admire those people staying positive but we are really labouring against average teams.

And looking at the table its not like we have had the hardest of starts.

First game in ages. Full of pre season optimism after all the new signings but the first half was as poor a performance as I can remember. Bullied and carved open by an average team. Second half better but yeah that was hard work. On a positive note I thought Hatfield looked good and the sort of pla...

First match for me for a long while. A battling win and to say they are in the play off mix I thought we looked much the better team for most of the game. We should have led at half time. Although he missed a few its clear that Styche is a beast. Can't remember the last time Darlo had a striker wher...

Ross Chisholm.

Thought Stockport deserved to win today but great credit to Darlo for not letting their heads go down. Coming back three times shows real heart. They controlled big parts of the game and I think Brown,Burgess and Hunter were superb in the second half ensuring we held them off for most of the half. B...

Referee was incredibly poor today, I think it would have taken someone being dismembered for him to blow for a free kick in the first half. I thought we were much the better team but we looked vulnerable to the counter attack especially when their no 10 was involved so was happy with the point. Very...

Very general point about our winning run. I don't get to as many games as I'd like but when I have been we look fitter this season. Anyone else noticed this? Some of the late wins maybe bear this out? Not sure if this is down to Alan White? We definitely look more and more like a pro/semi pro outfit.

Both very smart designs. However only one of them is a Darlo shirt.

Liam Hatch. Darlo semi final legend.

While we can all take great pride in how the club was saved after this match part of me wonders whether we would have been better folding after that match and starting again without any debt. All I really remember about the match is that it was really cold and that I expected to enjoy the chance to ...

Very happy to have notched up wins against the best two teams we faced in the Northern League

Anyone confident about Blyth?

Not been this excited since I saw Tino Asprilla at Feethams.

Amazing signing and exactly what we have missed.

Injuries are the only way this doesn't work out.

Massive win for Darlo

3-0, 4-0 Something like that.

Not been to many this season but have experienced good and bad. Worst was Farsley .

Best either Burscough or New Mills. . . . Thompson is in my all time Darlo side on the back of these games alone. Incredible stuff.

Agree with Quakerz. Can't get too worried about who we play. Its a one off game and we are better than all of them. We might win we might lose and its our form early on this season which put Curzon out of reach. Yesterday was my first game in ages and my three-year-olds son's first ever Darlo game. ...
