.... As far as I understand, Spennymoor still aren't in a position to take promotion .... Why not? :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: Cos you are in second place and can't catch up if we win our remaining games. You need to be in FIRST position in order to win promotion...that's what we've been told repeatedly wh...

Good work from the club. Just asked the question and season ticket forms are already at the printers and will be handed out at the last two home games. Forward thinking, that's what I like to see! I'm not convinced we will sell as many next season. Purely on the basis of how many games have been re...

Are you for real?

I believe your wrong. Non deliberate handball is not an offence at all. What utter bollocks!! That just proves you know nothing about the rules of the game and why you are on the terraces and not out in the middle reffing a game!! :roll: Haha you are wrong. In Fifa's Laws of the Game 2005, Law 12 s...

Woman on the train talking very loudly on the phone. The jist of the story that she went into a music shop and was told that the person does not choose the instrument, the instrument chooses the person. Sounds very Harry Potter to me. Anyway she had been assured by the shop assistant that it is a sp...

The most bewildering thing about this thread is Mifedfc's assertion that Purewal (Amuar/Pawel) wearing a thermal top under his shirt in some way makes him inferior to his short sleeve wearing team mates. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2 Well he used to judge it on whether they wore cycling sho...

I can only assume that Jizz and Cockhead agree with my summation of the current situation I know who Jizz is. Who is Cockhead? This post suggests to me you don't really have full confidence in what you are saying because you were expecting to have to defend it. Btw if you actually read we have cove...

Fraid there isn't really a border line common sense approach. I would imagine his explanation to the assessor revolved around the debate whether Dowson would definately have scored had Finch not picked it up. If Finch had stayed in the box or just kicked the ball away by he sounds of it he would hav...

Why does Amos feel the need to start every blog with the number of emails he has!? Are we meant to find him somewhat popular, feel sorry for him, be surprised. He jus ends up reminding me of those at work who constantly tell you what work they've got, as if they are being particularly hard done by!

Then he probably should have walked.

As I say if it was debatable whether Dowson would have got there before it had gotten into the penalty area then there could be argument for a yellow.

This is by no means the perfect interpretation as by the sounds of it he could have got sent off. Was Dowson ever really in control of the ball at the time. I think that is the deciding factor. When a player tries to knock it past a keeper and he handles it, then it is an inevitable red. From your d...

Was it 100 fans Danny Mills said we would get this year!?

We've done word filters previously, with greater or lesser success, but would be a tough one as there are legitimate uses of the word. Yeah, like its part of your clubs new name? I rest my case ;) Part of, sure. You can call us Darlington 1883 if you prefer or you can shorten it to Darlington or Da...

Cup competitions take precedence over league games. Always have and always will. Only in a league where clubs win it 3 years in the row and don't take promotion. Everywhere else in the country and in the world progression through the leagues is the priority. On the 1883 thing isn't there a filter t...

I rest my case ;) 'penn' is part of your name as it 'nymo'. Merely taking 4 characters from a name is not really a valid...

There will be a few Yorkshire days out, Harrogate RA, Farsley, Goole. It's a good competitive league and will not be easy. Our Northern League knowing experts have told us time and time again that the NL is as good if not better than the Evo 1N. Taking their knowledge as true, and considering we ha...

Apparantely the wheelchair athletes catching up with the Women's elite race is a common occurance these days and collisions frequently occur. The Wheelchair event is considerable faster than the Women's elite event, I don't know if it's just me being simple. Why don't they start the wheelchair event...

Branson bought northern rock for half of what we paid AND we kept the toxic part of it. He also wants the east coast. That's after DOR have put far more back into the public coffers than any private company. Your going to need a different argument lo cos your basically saying private good public ba...

In the last 5 years the banks have has over 100 billion quid in subsidy. That is on top of quantive easing. The banks are really contributing aren't they? Are you referring to buying shares as a subsidy. Do you know why they needed to buy the shares? To cover a great bloody hole that was there! And...

Why? You move the teams around at Step 9 if you need to. You know how they do for the BSN & BSS.

Just checked and yeh it's the ones I said before!

Err NL1, North West and North East Counties I think.

Two flaws in your argument lo. The banks are flush with public money but still won't lend it. I dare you to deny it as their using it to prop up their balance sheets and also large businesses are sat on huge cash deposits but are scared to use it. A never ending spiral! What you have a problem with...

Thompson isn't best as a striker and I reckon Johnson could end up more heavily involved with the reserve team next year. He is 32 in June after all. Based on this we need 1 maybe 2 strikers in in the summer giving us Dowson, Purewal, Moffat/Andy Johnson...rumour from my mate who works with Johnson ...

Didn't really have anything to do with Thatcher, was just used as an example to show how high interest rates can potentially go. You might be right, however I don't think carrying on spending in the way we have been is the answer to our problems. Thing is interest rates will only rise when things g...

The only financial element is that the board believe it would be more financially worthwhile for the club to spend another year in this league. The current board have said this? They couldn't not take it if we won it. If we win it don't take it I reckon attendances will half next season possibly ev...

surely all the statement is about is the same thing we were all questioning. Why have Spennymoor put fixtures in after the required date of completion. The NL seemed to feel this was acceptable and they will put both our name and Spenny's name forward for promotion stating that these are our two nom...

Where is the defence of the failed policies from JIZZ and the rest of the Tories on this board. TODAY'S UPDATE - Yet another International agency has downgraded the UK's credit rating today - because our Government's forecasts are wrong. !!

He might also be able to blag us ballotelli on loan next season as well

I'd rather have Drewe Broughton back!
