It would be good to go some way to atone for that abomination of a result masterminded by Gowling at their place.
This game on Friday has nothing to do with that. It's a game, we need three points to help us avoid relegation - any talk of revenge or of Gowling is not relevant.

Re: Rushall v Darlington

Griffiths was matched up against that really good player they have on loan from Walsall - and, possibly he (Griffiths) couldn't play in his normal way because of the plastic pitch?

Re: Complacency

Here’s a positive. Young will be back in goal on Friday. I watched the live stream yesterday and my Taylor related, penalty box stress syndrome returned, big time. :thumbdown: And it’s taken me quite sometime to get over this condition - and if I suffer from it, imagine how the Darlo defenders feel?

Signed on loan from Gateshead. Striker who seems to have a pretty decent goalscoring record. Sounds like a bit of a fox in the box.

Can you get 6’4” foxes ?

They normally come in a more Duffield type size.

Re: Asante thread

The threads about Asante are like his time on the pitch - elusive and easy to miss. This new soccer ombudsman could look at this one. Has there been a bigger waste of money at Quakers? Even Bernie Slaven jogged around a match and scored sometimes. Nick Pickering? Biggest disappointment ever for me....

This thread has the wrong title and it seems to be all over the shop.

If we escape relegation, and if Steve and Terry stay - then I reckon next season's BTB could be the best ever.

What’s the point of fan ownership?🤔 Originally the point of fan ownership was to rescue the football club from certain death, but now I suppose it exists to keep some dodgy wannabe owner like Singh/Reynolds/Haughton at bay, so that the same inevitable death spiral doesn’t get the chance to kick in a...

Re: Rushall tickets

Looking on NLTV website our game at Rushall is not listed as being available to watch, which is disappointing. I would have thought there would be plenty of demand from Darlington supporters to stream this game given how crucial it is. I can see that we could take around 400 fans, especially if it ...

Re: Reff Gareth Thomas

The ref could have given a penalty to P'boro in the first half. I thought it was touch and go and he made the right decision to go and have a chat with the linesman then place the free kick right on the edge of the box. I think because there was a bit of doubt he didn't give the penalty, which was g...

Re: 2022/23 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Yes, we should be able to be competitive in this division.

What didn't help was the previous policy of lowering of expectations by the powers that be - talk about shooting yourself in the foot. :(

It reminds me of that Ratners jewellers thing, when Mr Ratner said that his products were total crap.

Nice to finally be out of the relegation zone!
