Darlo Uncovered

Would either of those still be necessary for a short term pandemic contingency period if it were for a couple of months?

I see York have just put in a counter suggestion (unsurprisingly) that those teams finishing 2nd in both NLN and NLS get promoted automatically, and the original intended 4 teams are relegated from the NL. Have to say I think they have a decent case. Is it the case again that the NL have more votes...

The reason as I understand it is that the NLN and NLS were not classed as “elite sport” by the DCMS.

The NL was considered elite so they can go ahead with play offs.

Tait wasn’t good enough to always get a start for us several years ago, I’d be disappointed with that one.

No problem with Thommo leaving although I thought DFC might have deserved a bit better than a screenshot from his iPhone and then a couple of narky digs in his statement. But from a football point of view no problem. It’s very unusual for a player to stay on reduced terms and I can’t blame him for a...

Have a try of this for a Kev Smith interview.

Totally trust Alun’s judgement but I’d say based on the season that’s just gone he was deserving of his starting place and we looked a better team with him in it.

Thanks to both but Alun is right on both IMO.

1 the forward initiates the contact with the defender
2. Can’t tell from this angle
3. Get the ball but could have been classed as reckless
4. He falls over or dives.

I think it is an overwhelming likelihood that competitions will be declared void personally.

.. If 90% were in that position then herd immunity would kick in, as it is those in that 90% who are the ones carrying it between the most vulnerable as they are fit and healthy and mobile. Herd immunity effect is not established for this new virus. We don’t yet know whether the antibodies generate...

Sorry but I cannot believe attending Blackwell Meadows with around 1300 other fans is particularly risky. Maybe keep out of clubhouse but otherwise should be fine. If we take really drastic measures too early then surely it will be counterproductive as by the time the virus really hits people will ...

Let’s be clear, everybody who plays football knows about these rules, I mean everyone. I don’t care what punishment they get or what they bet on but if their defence is that they didn’t know about it then I’m afraid they are lying. They thought they would get away with it and wouldn’t be caught. Ign...

Trotman is an interesting one - was our best player by a country mile last season. Obviously he might have other priorities now but it’s easy to forget just how good he was last year in a pretty crap team.

Like lo says above if there’s been a hooped shirt as one of four choices then it would have won hands down. At least this way gives a fighting chance for a non hooped shirt to win. Hard to fathom people being seemingly genuinely angry about this. Weird. The board have done the right thing, it was cl...

If Scott Wilson knows Luke Trotman well enough to judge his dedication and integrity, or indeed has spoke to the club to ask for their view then fair enough. But I doubt he’s done either, and if not, he’s just being a local journalist writing a pretty sneering column piece about someone he hasn’t bo...

You could have separated the unplayable bit with some of that segregation sellotape you’ve got.

It’s almost like they don’t think the normal rules apply to them. Arrogance once again.

Owld Marmite Styche. Certainly has more failures than success stories at the clubs he’s been at. No doubt Tommy knew how to make him tick and many others obviously don’t. How much that impacted on the rest of the squad though we’ll never know. He ticked for a while but in the last few months of his...

That’s the only other alternative Les.

Exactly, during the extended half time break which you can see by comparing to the photos at the other end at the same time. Polarbear knows this, he’s just trolling.

Here is an image from Twitter of the end all those near the Spenny fans should have moved to apparently. Embarrassing that it was even suggested, imagine another couple of hundred in here. https://i.ibb.co/8YFKMG7/20200102-143815099-i-OS2.png That photo was taken 2nd half, a lot less 1st half It wa...

Got to agree with Darlo Pete about the 2 turnstiles. That was another amateurish thing. Didn't believe that if there was only 863 of our fans, that there was around 1400 spenny fans. An EXTRA 600ish fans...not for me. But they were never going to say over the 900 were they. We have to take some res...

This is a fair point actually but one of the problems here is that you can’t see the bottom end of terracing from anywhere down that side due to the gantry and the fact that a fence cuts in to the away end half way down. They could have been giving away free beer and lollipops down there but 90% of ...

Fence was knackered after goal due to crowd surge as no crush barriers, mistake from Spenny originally not making it all ticket and then steward opening up that part. Mistakes all over off the pitch for Spenny today, shame they didn't make as many on it. fence already misshapen before any goals, du...

I’m having a hard time reading people dismissing an idea they know nothing about. It’s infantile.

Wait and see what’s proposed and then argue your point based on some analysis of what you read.

Boring contribution I know but really I think it’s best that we wait to hear what the various proposals are and judge them against one and other then. No point getting too agitated or tribal about for now. Let’s see what’s possible and hear what our board(s) have to say and take it from there. Sent ...

Let’s remember that DJ and others have said we’re at least thinking about some sort of hybrid model next season. If we are, I’d have thought we’d want to start from a stronger financial position than usual rather than spending everything. So maybe there’s a longer term plan. Sent from my iPhone usin...

Funny - that’s the third person I know of where that happened.
