Darlo Uncovered

Campbell V Styche anyone? Two very different type of players but on reflection is Styche such a big miss? Yes, when he was in the right mood he did score the odd solo special and power his way through on goal, but after his call up last season he didn’t seem to look anything that good. Campbell mean...

Didn’t last long! I think he may need to make a sideways step. Youth coach perhaps?

Terrible article.

It’s not good but at least it’s something...

What's really impressed me about O'Neill during his loan spell so far is his attitude. He has obviously decided to get the most from his time with us and to grasp the opportunity for valuable experience in a completely different world to what he has been used to.

Agreed.

With our two wins so far, how much prize money have we won?

I don’t fancy them but Spennymoor or York spring to mind as strong possibilities.

A VICTORY FOR FOOTBALL.

Shildonlad - below is an explanation, but it's NOT WRITTEN BY ME, it's written by QUAKERZ (who now calls himself Ghost83 or something) I liked this explanation at the time so copied it - I hope he doesn't mind me posting it here. You see, Darlington 1883 never rose from the ashes of Darlington, beca...

I know, it’s not news at all really, I’ll try harder next time.

M.G has broken his leg apparently.

If that's the case then he won't have a leg to stand on!!!!

He should be able to stand on his other leg, the unbroken one.

M.G has broken his leg apparently.

Some people are suited to football management, others not. What kind of player you were seems to have no bearing on this. If we say that there are 7 good leagues in England (that's including 3 National leagues) this means that there are less than 175 pro standard managers in our country - so quite a...

Yet Conlon used to get sent off for elbowing people all the time, and head butting them too.

"Victory for football" Bedaledarlo's infamous line from years ago - :) But it's a good point, we wanted to play football, they wanted to get stuck in as much as possible, break the game up, commit niggly fouls and nasty fouls too. Saturday was a huge change from the previous home game V York.

The interview with Liddle on the official site is absolutely brilliant. Anyone who wasn't there but wants a flavour of what it was all about should have a look.

Liddle by name, Craig Liddle by nature.

I thought he did well bearing in mind the opposition tactics.

The York incident under Marty?

The fact that Alfreton played midweek was pivotal here. Halfway through the second half they visibly faded and couldn’t maintain their hard physical tactics. Credit to our players who kept on going, as it was a bruising encounter. Also, what is going on at Alfreton. Their support was terrible for a ...

I can’t translate the original post, it makes no sense to me.

There are some brilliant posts here, and I echo the sentiment of "enjoy it" which is written above. I enjoyed the early years a lot, much more than I expected. One thing I would like to add is that Raj Singh (previous chairman and mostly to blame for our demise) attempted to buy his way back into DF...

Absolutely not. The league season is over as far as play-offs are concerned

Bizarre statement.

No, you're still wrong. York will be top three at least. No way they don't make the playoffs.

I agree, they can afford to strengthen later on in the run, they have a good manager, failure this season is not on the agenda.

Hatfield should have been man of the match he never stopped running afraid I don`t know why Thommo get`s it as in recent games don`t think he has been up to his usual standard. Thought we deserved something from game today but as everyone knows we have no cutting edge up front so once we concede ga...

I’d disagree. They were clinical is both boxes which is what wins you matches and leagues. We’re great until we get to both boxes.

Not only that, the finances to bring in some new/fresh players for the last part of the season, to see the job through. Like Gray used to do with us.

After watching York last week I was optimistic about this game, but on reflection, we haven’t got Southport’s big beast defenders and who’s going to score our goals?

A good all round team performance is a must today.

Hope you sort yourself out Andy and don't keep getting into bother..

Agreed.

York's injury problems are causing them worry, causing a cancellation of a midweek practice game, from the yorkpress web site --- "Early-season casualties Paddy McLaughlin and Dan Maguire were joined in the treatment room by Steve McNulty two weeks ago, while striker Jordan Burrow was left out of Sa...

Re Hodgie’s pre match Q and A session, I wonder if anyone will quiz him on Singh’s failed takeover attempt and his part in it- or would this prove to be a little controversial.
