Darlo Uncovered

Rushall will not complete the required improvements in 17 days. Their hope is to get a bit of the work done and pull on the heart strings of the FA to give them an unprecedented extension to an extension. That should not happen as it will set too much of a precedent. I'm not too fussed about the ext...

We were 8 adrift on New Year's Day

Mikky, is Football Web pages a site where you can load up historic league tables by date?

52 points and still not safe.

This is insane

The mathematical anomaly is due to the fact that 3 teams are so far adrift, particularly Bishops Stortford. Normally the points are shared around more, so it's skewing the norms.

1 of 7 teams could end up going down. Next Saturday is massive for us.

I feel sorriest for Ginge. He's never had so much work to do.

I thought Siddick was quality, then I went to Alfreton home and Boston away.

I thought they were quite a decent side too. Connor Woods is their record signing. They looked dangerous and had we been off our game we would have lost.

Blyth have Rushall at home then 2 stinkers. If one team had to win, would now rather it was Rushall, although a draw would be great.
Good chance Chester will have nothing to play for on the last day.

Normal capacity is 1900. Capacity temporarily reduced to 1400 for the works. Agreed, though, that you'd have to build something massive to get it to 3000.

We said exactly the same thing yesterday. If they get special dispensation and started tomorrow, it looks a real squeeze to get all that work done in less than 6 weeks.

Next week reminds me of our game v Colchester in 89. Not win or bust, but certainly not lose. I say that because Bishops Stortford is one of their games in hand. 89 was roles reversed, as we were on an OK run, but Colchester was on a great run, and we crumbled under the pressure of the occasion. Win...

The Rushall v Goliath approach is a dangerous game to play, as we found to our cost. I wonder if subconsciously it gives a team an excuse to lose, rather than being a motivating factor.
I don't believe TM and SW have once mentioned finances of other teams. Instead they talk purely on football terms.

Sorry, I forgot someone had hacked your account! Everyone knows your real name and that you were posting on there earlier. That's up there denying that Brad's pumped money in.

I feel it is my duty to report that Spen is being a bell end on The Tin Shed and so please bear this in mind when he next posts on here.

I think a lot more leeway is granted now. David Johnston said this after a conversation with Mark Ives, chairman of the National League, who said it wouldn't be a good look if teams were penalised while the financial dip is on. Same happened with Peterborough Sports, who didn't finish the work by Ma...

I'm going to stick my head above the parapet and say we need 53 points. Southport have the best fixtures, and Bishops Stortford at home. I think Rushall do too. Banbury have 2 games in hand, Rushall one. Despite 3 wins in a row, we're still playing catch up, with 2 stinking fixtures to come. I think...

Some recent quotes by Steve Watson 'Buxton had 2 six foot centre halves so rather than pumping hign balls in we had to fizz them across'. 'We needed to be comfortable with letting Curzon have the ball because they're a posession team'. 'With the players we have we need to pull the opposition players...

I have had a groin strain while playing in goal. Had to be carried off and it knackered me for about 6 weeks. Kept coming back every so often, too. They are an utter b******.

I had the same injury after a fall. The only thing you can't do is turn your wrist. The hospital put me in a cast. 3 days later I visited the fracture clinic where the consultant cut the cast off and said that the best thing to do is get it moving again, and that if it's sore then just rest it in a ...

2 points.

1. The unrelated groin injury could be an over-compensation injury caused by the other long-standing groin problem.
2. I'd rather people were bishop bashing when he scores loads of goals.

I thought Rushall won 3-2, then went back to check knowing that you probably won't get that wrong, and it was a Flashscores error, so you've cheered me up no end.

Their assistant was also saying that he was surprised we went for Gowling instead of Watson

Good luck to the Scarborough fans on the rain-soaked grassy knoll today... it's gonna be grim! I pity them, hope they are well prepared. However, we would have got a right soaking if it had rained on Tuesday, and they had the option of giving us some covered terracing and didn’t. Apart from the big...

Club have made a statement MG won’t be coming back, the search goes on.

Well that’s our best chance of survival thrown away. I will be at the game today and giving the team my total support, but I will have to reflect on my long term future financial support of the club.

And MG has won.

His team talk the other day, with the f word every other word was embarrassing. Not that I'm a puritan, but if you're swearing every other word, you're not communicating effectively.

I have a Banbury contact who says there's been a lot of rain. Game in big doubt. I'm not travelling just in case.

Mustoe's whereabouts is entirely relevant given that we couldn't even name our full complement of subs recently.

You thought it wouldn’t work…based on what? His name? Or your knowledge of Hull youth step up

Used to love that song by Lynx

Lo, it was Gowling who put the benchmark of 2 goals in. He had no intention of saying, 'I've never lost like that'.

Andy, that's the way me and Grimsby Quaker read it too. The 3 of us can't be wrong!

Quakers 2009, it was actually a direct response to the fact that a fan said that we'd lost 4-0 at Tamworth, to which he said 'Google it', which makes it even worse. We're entering Comical Ali territory here.
