Re: Scarborough Away - Mon 2nd Jan (SOLD OUT)

Something clearly happened in the away end as well because the players were taken off after we scored and we were still celebrating. Also before the match restarted more stewards went in front of some of the Scarborough fans, opposite side to where Hazel was celebrating and where the female assistan...

Re: Darlington V Kettering

The problem I have is most of the discussion is ridiculous (granted only on one side) and the few times people have posted about the match it's been stopped in its track about the floodlights, hence the suggestion those posts me moved to another thread.

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

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.

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...

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.

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.
