TheFACup
Today's the day, a lot has been said about the history of Darlington in the competition. I am positive about today and looking forward to a good run, surely history is irrelevant when only a couple of players have played previously for Darlington in the competition?

Re: TheFACup
Strange this site no mention of the mighty Darlo winning an FA Cup tie
Re: TheFACup
I don't know about the rest of you but I'm booking my trains and hotel for May 23rd for our inevitable appearance in the final!
Re: TheFACup
So what charges are we going to face that the Know FA can kick us out for ?
I don't think just winning gives them excuse enough.
Re: TheFACup
Que sera sera...
Re: TheFACup
Fancy the fa might be more interested in events at our friends on the coast today...

Re: TheFACup
What a lovely day out. Great result and a really warm welcome. Volunteers, stewards all excellent, extra food and drink set up, no segregation and absolutely no one misbehaving. We sat on two grass banks, bathed in sunshine for the second half. Good to see so many known faces. MCFC you missed a treat despite seeing 8 goals!
And no, we've been in the last 16 twice.

Re: TheFACup
Racial abuse directed to Dover players, Hartlepool players offering to fight fans, threats of players walking from the pitch, 2 players and manager sent off.

One of the nicest non league grounds I’ve ever visited.

Re: TheFACup
A friendlier team on the coast, in the shape of Whitby Town, would be a nice, local draw. We could even win!
Re: TheFACup
Prize money of £6750 for today. £11250 for winning in the 3rd Qual.
Re: TheFACup
Good result and through which is what all of us wanted, nice bit of cash coming in as well. Shame we couldn't keep the clean sheet, but with a makeshift CB partnership I think I'll take the win without looking a gift horse in the mouth. Well taken headers from both Thommo and Donawa for their goals.
Adam Campbell 6 goals in 12 and some of our fans still don't think he's a striker. In good form and on course to beat Mark Beck's 18 in his full season with us at this level.
Another positive is that Alfreton and Kings Lynn drew 1-1, which means a midweek trip to Norfolk for our opponents next week, before we play them at the weekend. Might help us out slightly. Going into the next round I'd probably like to avoid anyone from our league, or someone like Whitby, while its a nice local trip but they're bang in form at the moment. Maybe someone like Dunston would be a decent local game.

Re: TheFACup
I sincerely hope that if any of our fans did that they’d get the s*** kicked out of them on the spot. Just been reading it. I hope this town does not follow like them fuckers up the road and elect some Britain First or whatever it is wanker.
Waiting for Raj to shaft them!

Re: TheFACup
No complaints with that today. Not spectacular but job done against a side that packed the defence from the off. We dominated possession and it's great to have a striker who's quick to seize on a chance and has a 50% strike rate so far this season.

Yes but some people think he isn't a striker... I despair with some people on hereLoidLucan wrote:No complaints with that today.

The north section merges with the midlands for the next round so a local team is unlikely but you never know.JE93 wrote:Good result and through which is what all of us wanted, nice bit of cash coming in as well.

Stockton gave a good account of themselves going down 1-0 at Guiseley. £10k in the bank for them.

Re: TheFACup
Excellent performance against limited opposition. Lovely ground & a very friendly club. Unfortunately I was driving, so I couldn't enjoy the hospitality on offer. Met a Man City fan who decided to watch his local side, he was rather impressed with our team. Thought Galbraith was MOTM, he won everything in the air. Bit worrying that Thommo picked up a hamstring injury, hope it's not as bad as it looks.
Re: TheFACup
Interesting didn't know that. Tbh it could be a kindness, there aren't many of those northern sides I would want to play. Dunston or Osset would be a decent localish game that would present a winnable chance to get through to the 4th qualy round.Quaker85 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2019 11:41 pmThe north section merges with the midlands for the next round so a local team is unlikely but you never know.JE93 wrote:Good result and through which is what all of us wanted, nice bit of cash coming in as well.

Re: TheFACup
A quick scan of the results gives us the possibility of teams from the 'north' :-JE93 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 22, 2019 11:20 amInteresting didn't know that.
