Darlo Uncovered

Perhaps he was protecting him? Could see he hadn't physically matured enough, and throwing him into a struggling team would have done him more harm than good.

Think we’re gonna need a big target-man type of player for Campbell to work off of.

Armstrong has never used that set-up. Can't see him starting now.

Still think we're lacking more of a target man in the team up who can hold the ball up front to take some pressure off the defence when needed.

Not the way Armstrong plays.

I see that they have already had one preseason friendly in which Cartman scored a hat trick. I wonder if Campbell has ever heard of a hat trick.

An example of the Darlo Fans I hate, and why, Darlogramps! Think our scapegoat for the season is already cast.

Bet Carts is looking forward to it.

The midgets tended to be the better players though.

He's gone, they've gone. Time to let go and move on.

Well he scored more goals and had a longer career than Thommo did at that level. Also, at that level, Barnet fans reckon Nicholson was one of their worst signings ever. Let's see what he can do at this level before comparing him unfavourably with fan's favourites.

I’ve only done it once for my birthday and it cost £35 for my mate and £30 for me as a season ticket holder. So it actually cost me nearer £40. Work that one out!

So its official, now called Darlington Spartans

We should have just taken the club over and moved it here, like you did.

Has Jameson become a decent keeper since he left us? He always was a decent keeper. IMO he was very good in the Evostik and competent in the NLN, even when he started making mistakes. Half of the fan base had an exaggerated dislike of his abilities. It's probably likely that he has improved since t...

Saw Amar purwal play for west Auckland against Chertsey town in the fa vase last season he was marked out of the game - trust.me he is only a shadow of his former self and definitely not national League north standard. On the basis of one game. Hope you didn't see Harry Kane in the Champions League...

I would say Spenny are overpriced at 10-1 if York are 5-1.

Great summary. All seems very positive at the moment.

So it was alright whilst we could compete and blow other teams out the water finance wise, but now we can't it's not? Only the "bigger" clubs should have a chance at glory?

Incredible effort. Well done all who contributed.

Gillies was a far better player than he was given credit for. Another who became the scapegoat when things didn't go right, as per the only turned up when it was warm guff.

Every call for funds taps into the same core people. Always has and no doubt always will. It's getting the other 700 or so regulars to commit that's our issue. Obviously some may not be able to, but a good proportion will. It's understanding why they won't to see if there's anything that can be done...

Chelsea fans seem to be wetting their pants with excitement over the thought of him being Sarri's eventual successor. It comes across as them not really having paid tooo much attention to how Derby's season has gone and taking it on face value that they're in the play-offs so he must have done a gr...

For every Pochettino there's an Ole Gunnar.

The demise he refers to is in our no longer being a league club, and County Durham not therefore having one. That is true. He even says he takes no pleasure in it. Why every statement anyone makes nowadays has to be seen to offend somebody baffles me.

Was missing out on the Chandler, Ramshaw and Fewsters not part of the reason we had to shop in the Midlands? No, it wasn't. We shopped in the Midlands because Wright had links there, and knew players from the region. And they were definately our rivals in NL. We competed against them for the title....

I’m interested to see Spennymoor go up just to see how they operate - whether they stay PT or go FT which would mean quite a few players and their manager making a big decision. It’ll give us a very good guide. Perhaps a bit surprisingly, Stockport will be staying mainly part-time in the National L...

Was missing out on the Chandler, Ramshaw and Fewsters not part of the reason we had to shop in the Midlands? The fact we are priced out of the North East. And they were definately our rivals in NL. Obviously, there is no long term rivalry of the magnitude of Hartlepool, there isn't the history or ha...

[/quote] Ah look, the Darlington Fan Who Hates Darlington Fans is back. Spennymoor are not, and never will be a rival. We compete for players with teams across the league - last season we were taking players from the Midlands. Don't recall anyone saying Nuneaton are big rival, so that's a nonsensica...

I have no problem with spenny good on them, they helped us out.. Yes when we play them there is a rivalry and I want to win obvs but not jealous at all.. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Is there a rivalry? To me it's just another game. I don't feel any more rivalry than I would Leamington or B...

Why do you like the idea of a female coach?

If we're not in a position to take a leap of faith on the likes of Chris Swailes, as some suggest, how can we do so on a woman?

Ah, my mistake. Still, 2 whole leagues. Surely the principles he has successfully applied at Dunston are transferable to a higher league team? We bang on about utilising the NL more for young upcoming players, yet I would think the gulf in quality is less relevant to a manager than a player. 2 whol...

What’s the fascination with Swailes? Granted he has done well with Dunston this season, and had a very good cup run, but there is a gulf in quality between the Northern League & Conference North. It would be a risk, especially if the likes of Armstrong, Aspin, Bower & Flanagan are interested. Good ...
