Darlo Uncovered

Yet again this idiot changes totally what I said for his own ends, which is simply to argue and cause trouble. NO .... " why should this group (let’s say 25-35)", Simply younger kids pay as now, and once they hit the point of EARNING AN ADULT wage, and taking the age of 25 simply as an example when...

Gramps is right though. You’ve flip flopped more than a flip flop factory! Care to answer what I said earlier about removing the right to strike then being unable to take the Government to court? That’s more insidious and dangerous than getting the young to pay more for you. Have a good think about...

Excellent, so you don’t mind me calling you Ted. As that’s your name.

Ted seems to think young people aren’t paying anything towards the NHS. Except they already do through National Insurance etc, like everyone else. So why should this group (let’s say 25-35) be targeted with increased taxes? Given the financial pressures facing young people, more so than previous gen...

Yes lets have another referendum on Scottish Independence. This time we should have a vote in the rest of the UK to see if we want to keep the whining b....... or let them take there chances in the real world without us. This is the best reply I have seen to any political question on this or any ot...

Anyone know why Kings Lynn have gone to ET and not a replay? Its up to the clubs. I would have thought it would be in the cup rules? The rules are that it’s up to the clubs. You’ll have a replay unless you agree to finish on the day. Personally I think it should be standardised across the board tha...

Did you vote Conservative? Then you voted for this, and I hope you are proud of yourselves. Because you shouldn't be https://mobile.twitter.com/EmergMedDr/status/1205485397985378310 The problem for your requirements with that link is that it actually shows the problem of social media. 1 person puts...

Pikilaty, apart from the two articles on the club website and a clear message from Rob at the beginning of the thread I'm not sure what you're asking. I note you've only registered on here today and you've also commented about you wish we'd mentioned the Amazon link-its been stuck at the top of the...

If it is Reid (and I always treat messageboard rumours from other club’s fans with healthy scepticism) I’m almost certain he’s played as a striker before.

His main position is midfield of course, but I’m sure he has played as a striker.

The Lib Dems aren’t going to win seats here so it’s almost pointless them sending their leadership. But it’s very surprising Labour wouldn’t. No wonder people feel disconnected, as if the Labour Party doesn’t represent them. There’s three tight marginals in the North East: Darlington, Bishop and Sto...

On the game itself, it is absolute epitome of Darlington typicality to be pummelled at Brackley, implode against Telford, be woeful against Leamington and then outplay title challengers Chester. But we looked good, a vast improvement on the last few weeks. At the risk of speaking too soon, our home ...

But which celebrity?

Brackley away we were saving ourselves for the Walsall replay. Walsall at home we matched League 2 opposition We beat Gainsborough. Telford first half we were excellent. I agree the last game and a half we have been poor, but kind of suspected a hiding after a 4 1/2 hour midweek trip with part time...

Next few games look gruelling as well. Chester (H), Solihull Moors (A), York (A), Spennymoor (H), Blyth Spartans (A), Spennymoor (A). Even Blyth are improving (albeit they got humped 6-0 on Saturday, but there’s definitely been an uptick in their form of late) so that's not a gimme. Very concerning ...

I don’t have to be. The majority in this thread agree with me. I notice you’ve dodged my questions from the previous post. [emoji2958]

I'm the one with the ego? :lol: You're the one conducting yourself like the self appointed forum police. Well me, Super Les, Darlo_Pete, MB86DFC and poppyfield all think the same. You're the one trying politicise the club's actions. You inserted yourself into the conversation that you could have le...

It's related discussion. The post is about Darlington Football Club and foodbanks. The comments you don't like are related to foodbanks, which the football club is helping out. Just like we'd like discuss things like the respected background of potential investors into the club, the respected merit...

Old Git wrote:Going to end this for now as I want to follow events at Leamington but have enjoyed our little spat Gramps. Look forward to crossing swords again soon. Come on Darlo.

If it weren’t for your sanctimony and previous ego, we wouldn’t have crossed swords in the first place.

Ta ta for now.

The football club, as part of the community, is raising funds and awareness, because it is necessary. You don't get to shout down people pointing out *why* they exist, and claim we can't talk about it, because you don't like the observations. The football club might be apolitical, food banks are no...

No overreacting from me I think you are well enough known to be the big bully who regularly does that. And straight in with the ad hominem attacks. Well done. All this because I said you can comment on politics in another part of the messageboard. Descending into petty namecalling because of that i...

So you don’t think that questioning the need for food banks is relevant.It must be cozy in your Ivory Tower. Me - It’s possible not to include politics here. You - You live in an Ivory Tower and don’t care! Your overreaction makes you look foolish. All I said was it’s possible to keep politics out ...

Good man Pete well done. I have always supported the collection in the past but completely forgot this time. Never too late though I can still donate at Sainsbury’s. Just a pity that after nearly 10 years of a Tory led government we still need to do this. Hope they are going to make reducing povert...

Good job only 2 going down this season. We are not playoff material and anyone who thinks so is delusional. Tough run of games coming up and I fear we will be too far off the pace by New Year. We are lightweight up front and give away too many soft goals that is the reality. Not beaten by a more sk...

No surprise to see Quakersfan leaping on this. This is all a little unedifying and embarrassing from all sides. Clearly there’s little love for Woolnough from some at the club (see Holloway’s exchange with him earlier today, the quotes from Armstrong in today’s Echo piece and Craig Stoddart’s precio...

Just had a peek. Yep. Ted is back, or maybe he never went away. Either way, he's adamant to the point of exasperation that Solihull aren't bankrolled and that any money is made from their car park. Hang on, I'm a bit slow with this revelation - "Ted" is "Ed" ?? The poster Edjohns (strongly held pol...

Mind you when a town is 6 times the size of another you would expect t it to get 6 times the number of fans Care to explain that logic. London’s population is 90 times that of Darlington, yet Haringey Borough don’t get crowds 90 times the size. Your logic also assumes people only support their home...

Ted Forster has been making the same point over and over again on the Tin Shed. Could it be that EdJohns is his latest alias? You might very well think that, I couldn’t possibly comment.... If you look over on the Rugby League thread, Pete gives the game away. Ted would know all about funding footb...
