Darlo Uncovered

No issue with anyone having the right to say what they think/believe in an open forum, as long as my right to shoot you for thinking/saying it remains. Who is the guy we're talking about again, anyway? http://www.harlotssauce.com/wp-content/uploads/PostImages/Aug09/Aug09_VE_Nazi-Nick.gif Oh yeah, hi...

Cheers, hadn't seen that or many of the other threads from today due to a busy one. Sounds good - bit of calibre, as against someone coming in that no-one else wants just to fill a hole. Credit where credits' due to Windass and Todd for the likes of Devitt and Hoult, but for every one of those you g...

No names as of yet, but 'a reserve' from Villa or West Ham is a decent shout that I'm hearing.

Anyone else?

I think she'll be ready when she has some experience in the man's part of the game, so she can see what it is really like for her to take job like this, a man's game is really different to the woman's. Chicken and egg, Andy - she needs to get experience in "the man's part of the game" before she ge...

Eh?!

Mine was "inevitable"... Either anyone from Hull City or a scout from another side in L1 or even the Championship who saw any of his performances would pretty much make sure he didn't stay with us longer than a month. One of the best loan signings we've ever made, I'd say. Will follow the lad's care...

...we head off to Yarm Fair to say; today was superb. First game I've properly enjoyed all season. Thought that Staunton and Richo worked the technical area excellently, praising the things that went well and very much correcting those things that didn't. We never saw this from Todd. Thought everyon...

...song for Saturday:

"C'mon lads, lets' get behind Stan! 1! 2! 3! 4! "Hold down the chord of C and play a fretted..." etc, etc..

Ha! Bravo Grytters...

Interested. Going to buy the away shirt and would happily get it done.

Can I have 'beatroute' and then '66' on mine?

...Brunton Park on a Boxing Day back in the 90s was bad:

"I really look forward to Hartlepool’s press conferences. Chris Turner is a true football man and the conversations after the official conference are always enlightening." You mention this every week, Jeff - it surprises me as his pre & post-game interviews are *almost* as dull and as cliche-ridden...

Cheers for that, good little piece.

Like the "equilising before they score" bit - very pertinent just now...

Totally in two minds as to whether Stan is going to be the new Brian Little or the new Paul Futcher.

You can toss a coin for me...

Having seen every Darlo side since 1989, I don't think it's too wild a statement to say that this is probably the worst - even worse than the side that Mick Tait had to cobble together once GR had spent every single bean on that bloody stadium. Gary Smith is no better than Fabien Bossy, say, and in ...

Just read about that game and thought, with a very heavy heart; "we wouldn't have done that..." with regards to Torquay's comeback.

We're screwed, aren't we.

Yeah, that's a decent overview of the interview.

Note to all - get used to the expression "the lads' worked their socks off today" methinks.

...for boasting at 0-0 on 8 minutes. Touch of the Darlo Petes' today...

"b66 out!", etc, etc.

Welly, welly, welly, well - me and my big stupid mouth.

Fair enough - can maybe use Devitt and Main as 'impact' players in the second half if needs be.

Hey, things have started better than Todd's reign already - we weren't 1-0 down after 3 minutes.

Don't know how you can say awful signing til youve seen him play. Well quite - or how Staunton is a "bad appointment". Maybe all these smart arses can predict everything in life, including their own? Like "maybe tonight's microwave meal for one and wank into a lad's mag won't be as satisfying as la...

...Staunton is a crap appointment, Whelan is a crap signing, blah, blah, blah...when are some of you clowns going to get a grip? 2 days into the job and the new gaffer is already written off and someone who has notched some goals higher up the leagues before who has signed on a non-contract basis is...

Oh dear, he is not very articulate is he! What makes you say that? Having heard him there and on BBC Tees earlier on, I thought he came across well and said the right kind of things. Funny, everyone always said that Todd and Hodgy were "great" with the media because they came across as aimable, nic...

I take it twatstick and cuntchops are still OK?

He's also the guy who is 'resigning' being a fan after 25 years 'in the job'.

Yes I know it won't happen, but in the unlikely event that we did, then we'll be able to call it one of the shocks of the century... (a) No we won't; since when has a L2 side beating a L1 side been classed as a "shock of the century" before? (b) Thanks for confirming that you'll be there for the 11...

And you've mixed socially with all three, have you?

...how can any of us possibly know how Steve Staunton will do? His international experience aside, none of us know much at all about what he can bring. All these "terrible appointment" posts slightly confuse me. We might lose 10 straight games under him, we might go on a good run and start to bring ...

Now Steve Staunton expect a massive influx of full backs... Thank fuck for that. No idea what to make of this appointment, really. Was surprised when he got the ROI job and not surprised when he didn't make a decent fist of it. To be honest, can things get any worse though? It's not really a job th...

Cheers for the info - a fiver I can stomach, another 100 sheets I could not.
