Darlo Uncovered

May be DFC keeping status of availability secret to fox the opposition? I’m done with this Board. If you could drag yourself away from this website for 5 minutes you could put yourself forward. Alternatively we could delve into our endless list of candidates who would take on the task of running a ...

We're going down guys. We just fucked off a 20 goal a season striker and then play his replacement for 8 minutes today. And for all of the ins and outs in the last few weeks, we started today with just 1 JG signing. Admittedly Lindley is a good player. I'm not interested in hearing how unlucky we w...

Taylor needs to go, he is always letting his team mates down. Thought we played really well, with some great performances. If we play like that for the rest of the season, then we will have a good chance of avoiding the drop. JG has got us playing some pretty decent footie. But we always seem to be...

By people who have a vested interest in saying that. They’re hardly going to come out and agree.

I don't think the aftermath of this public forum will do anyone much good at all and i mean club, board, staff, management and players. Accusations against people not there to defend themselves is not a great path to go down. And I see stuff like "It was also interesting to hear that Middlesbrough ...

Gowling was basically asked, in general, about the perceived “isolation” of players, including these two but with a particular focus on Sukar. Hazel wasn’t really given much depth, as he’s only missed one squad but he did talk about Sukar. First of all, he stated that he does not isolate players wit...

I think a lot of the reaction to the forum has been over the top. Firstly, the sound quality was a direct result of the incompetence of the venue. On arrival, I was greeted with the board, volunteers etc rearranging the entire room as the hotel had informed them last minute the speakers didn’t work ...

Slept on that, as little as I got. I’ve never felt so despondent. And I suppose therein lies the problem. How many of the players can you actually say care? Quitting like that is stuff you expect to see from poor under 14 sides. They are decently paid footballers, many without another job. Any sign...

I said it many times Jacob Hazel is a goal scorer he needs to have a target man beside him to allow him to run onto the ball , his work rate of the ball is good some fans can't see the wood from the trees.I would back Jacob to come good with the right setup :thumbup: Have you been watching the game...

Lawlor is out with a back injury so Lees takes his place, other than that an unchanged line up. Rivers added to the bench. Liddle, Curry and Windass injured. Strange that the left back loanee Winfield isn't in the squad either. No mention of Sukar, Mustoe in the official site match preview, everyon...

I assume it would have to be TT. We were rumoured with Whitley, however he has since signed for Scarborough. The only other keeper we have on our books is Harvey Kelly. Surely there is no way that Kelly is the preferred choice. I’d be amazed. You’d hope not given he can’t kick the ball ten yards in...

I think 3-5-2 is something that needs time. You can't dip in and out of it, particularly at our level, because it needs players to understand their jobs a bit more. I don't buy this idea that we can't play it, we don't live in some unique bubble that prevents us being able to adapt to a system used...

Leaving Cameron to one side, the Scottish leagues are weak. A number of players signed from the Scottish Championship couldn’t even get bedded in with Hartlepool in Div 2! (bottom end of Div 2 )

We signed Falkingham out of Scottish League 1 and he found this level an absolute walk in the park.

Are you sure you're not Darlogramps it's his way of dealing with stuff, constantly blathering on about his own agenda.in this case Darlington FC media. Truly bizarre response to completely legitimate concerns. Everything said is reasonable and put across logically and respectfully. Unlike your resp...

So within 21 hours, the club went from, "Alun hasn't had chance to speak to all of the players due to being on holiday", to, "here is our retained list". Another climbdown. Just like the Sukar contract article & just like the Boost the Budget fines article. Be absolutely fantastic if the club didn'...

Baron, I am not sure about your hypothesis, if all the details were out now there is nothing to boost the BTB in the crucial final weeks. It may just be that the board are playing a very canny strategy that delivers good news once the BTB slows down after an excellent start from fantastic fans. I e...

See your at it again Darlo97,you really have a problem with Darlington media team, I really wish you would take it up with the relevant people. It's getting monotonous seeing you bring it to virtually every thread posted, we know you don't like the media output time or how they put information out,...

What % of shareholding in the club would you be willing to part with then? Bearing in mind that anybody investing any serious amounts of cash would want majority shareholding (i.e. 51%). Selling to a private investor/individual doesn’t just have an immediate impact. It has a knock on impact to who ...

[quote=Darlobill post_id=505274 time=<a href="tel:1682795787">1682795787</a> user_id=22839] AA very down, I thinks he has just realised without some investment a fan owned club at out level has gone as far as we can go. BTB touches the sides we need some serious investment the current DFC board are...

Actually scrap that, there’s no mention of Wheater at all in the match preview. Our club captain appears to have gone missing since being able to take part in the warm-up at Banbury. Total radio silence. YOU’VE FALLEN AT THE FIRST HURDLE RAY No surprise. Ray’s media output is absolutely dreadful. D...

I would have thought that intercity rivalry like Celtic/Rangers or Everton/ Liverpool is on a different level of intensity to Darlington/ Hartlepool which are 25 miles apart. You earlier claimed teams like York, Blyth and South Shields were greater rivals than Pools and then have now minimised our ...

Hartlepool that is it, the rest are just a minor inconvenience. Not much point having a rivalry with a team we never play. Might as well say Boro as they are our nearest geographical EFL team. Forget Poolie until we are in the same league as them. Much more relevant to focus on the teams in our pre...

In Alun I trust.

I fully accept that I am something of a dinosaur, but I expect a football club to concentrate on playing football. When did the purpose of a football club become to do good in the local community? Don’t get me wrong I am happy to donate towards the Foodbank etc. but surely this is a side issue not ...

Does look like a penalty on the Farsley footage like though you can't actually see the contact on Rivers given where the camera is. The ball does change direction as well but again can't see if there is any contact with it by the defender or if it just bounces off Rivers. Expect those behind the go...

Spennymoor are such a strange club. Have all the resources in the world but every time you go there it feels like the place is ran by children, in respect to security and safety of the spectators in the ground. As mentioned by other people, if they have any serious ambition of playing football leagu...

Only just got round to posting my summary from last night. What in the actual fuck was that 1st 10 minutes?!?! Absolutely obscene, never seen anything like it. Still disagree with the sending off, didn’t look like a straight red at all - a yellow at best, at least from the viewpoint of where we was...

We've had long enough to judge this team now and it's obvious we are in for another season of complete mediocrity at very best. Suppose it is what it is. We are where we are as a club and any thoughts of getting out this division feel extremely long term. It's difficult to get excited about games as...
