Rivers too now

https://darlingtonfc.co.uk/news/jarrett ... -new-terms

An early announcement. Wonder if that means we have plenty of news coming today?!

Looks like it. This was from last night:
we have plenty more this weekend, but our final one for tonight is coming up at 8!

So not a 50 per cent pay rise then?

The money Thommo has been allegedly offered is staggering. Despite being one of our top earners, a 50% pay rise, and a 5 figure signing on fee. We couldn’t possibly match this and he couldn’t possibly turn it down. Nothing personal Beano, but I'm always intrigued as to how third parties know the de...

South Shields

Got to agree with Ghost, absolute no brainer we need a keeper, tough, no nonsense CB and a good striker to compliment Campbell and add to an already pretty good squad.Tez and Thommo are probably high earners but would like them both with us next season if AA can agree terms with them both.Cannot im...

Some really big decisions to be made in regards to the higher earners in the squad. I have a feeling one or two might go to give AA the chance to build the squad further

And who are the higher earners? I have absolutely no idea...…..

https://www.borehamwoodfootballclub.co.uk/uncategorized/boreham-wood-fc-update-by-chairman-danny-hunter-3/ A very pessimistic view of when non league will restart. Totally realistic. It would not surprise me at all if there is no football at all next season from National league level down. There ar...

We re-signed Lambert on loan, and he is now back at Scunthorpe.

OK - I didn't realise that.

I thought Omar was getting better each time he played and a midfield 3 alongside Wheatley and Hatfield would be as good as anything in our league so disappointing if he goes.Could be that AA prefers a different formation in a 442 and deems Omar surplus as we still have Reid and Atkinson. Anyway, to...

Annoying if the local rag does not understand what we are doing there is no hope. This could be portrayed as a good news story. Fans rally round their club. Very disappointing the Echo can’t grasp what is going on under their own noses. Lazy reporting by an ill informed junior reporter. I'm sure, l...

Holness & Bascombe filled a hole when injuries had ravaged the squad and wish them both well in their future career, however they were at best only utility players. Donawa is a more gifted player & could turn a game so would want him in the squad for next season. Certainly when the 3 of them were a...

Four deaths - doubled in the last 24 hour reporting figures. Cases rose by 99 in the same period.

He has been isolating in Iceland for 14 days now.. There season will start as there is not many if any cases there so I'd say it will start even if they put it back a month

1319 cases as of yesterday. That's quite a few...…….

Nothing battling about that win. We were outstanding today. As has been said earlier, we should have scored several more and thought Thommo had finally scored 'that' goal with a diving header. On a quite dreadful pitch we played some lovely one touch stuff and in the final few minutes it was real 'o...

[/quote] Surprised no one else mentioned Laing, really disappointed in him this season, produces no decent tackles, often loses positional his sense, loves blaming hedley or storey for his mistakes(afraid to say anything to Liddle) and his long range passes more often than not go out of touch or go ...

It is essential we keep Hatfield and Wheatley.

Losing Galbraith and Thommo could be the way to make that happen.

Not saying I want that to happen but........

Agree Holness should be in our starting line-up. There wasn't too much wrong with our midfield trio of Hatfield, Wheatley and Holness earlier in the season, was there?

Definitely a point gained rather than two lost. We weren't at the races for large parts of the game but battled hard. Campbell's work rate was again fantastic - and still he gets slagged off by some of our own. A goal of the season contender from Hatfield - and a miss of the season contender for Kid...

It will be interesting to see Armstrong's stance on Thommo, Galbraith, Wheatley and Trotman all of whom will have been on larger contracts prior to is arrival. I would assume they will be offered reduced terms if they wish to stay. Throw in Ainge who will be out the door end of the season as well a...

One for OG playing before kick off

Sorry, it might be just be, but what does that mean MB86DFC?

Here's a clue:

Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out, touchin' me touchin' you

All together now......

It'll be interesting to see what Flowers does on Wednesday just before their big promotion battle with table toppers Barrow next Saturday. My feeling is that he will rest his top men and bring in some of the hundreds of fringe players he has at his disposal. They are all 7ft tall but hopefully our ...

If we can beat Solihull, the lowest ranked team left in the draw will be fine for me.

Think the crowd of 500 a bit optimistic unless they included the 50 stewards, nearer 300 crowd with 87 from Darlo about right. There were some strong challenges from both sides and believe solihull should have gone down to 10 men ref bottled most things and linemen spectators. My MOTM was liddle he...

87....more like 187

Nowhere near 187. No idea how you came up with that!

Fair enough.

The club should name the person concerned.

Andy Park was named on the club website after his season-long ban - there is no reason why this person should not be.

Our squad is completely lopsided. In midfield, in one way or another, we have Donawa, Hatfield, Lambert, Thompson, Rivers, Holness, Bascome and Campbell - who is an attacking midfielder in reality more than an out and out forward. You missed out Wheatley and also Hedley, who is a midfielder rather ...

We were awful. Shot-shy up front and poor at the back. They had three big men in defence and we had three small lads up front. No contest. This 'I can't find a striker' from AA is starting to wear a bit thin now. We have been playing since August without a recognised striker of our own in the club. ...
