Darlo Uncovered

We continue to sign no creativity. What has happened to the £30k+? I would say that both Main and Cornish are very much creative players and very good signings. Just look at the chances Main laid on a plate on Tuesday. Watson also said that Rivers (who can be creative) had looked very lively in tra...

You may be right. Blyth are playing at their highest ever level but Platten has had some fearsome stick from some fans after things levelled off or they struggled. Some said he needed to go because he was holding the club back through lack of investment. This new owner said the magic two words "Foot...

There still doesn't seem to be any concrete evidence of this new Blyth owner's involvement with any long-term, profit-making, stable companies with healthy balance sheets. He says he is rich and successful and deals with the super wealthy around the world and has promised Blyth the Earth. If that's ...

Even just a small amount of research reveals more red flags than a match at Anfield. A fair number of Blyth fans can see behind the flannel and have some grave concerns.

I'm sure Blyth have done all the due diligence in the world over this Irfan Liaquat bloke who describes himself as a "Serial entrepreneur, philanthropist and deal maker." Maybe best not to read too much into the fact that his latest business, Winners Worldwide, was only set up less than a year ago w...

I would get Sukar recalled if we can, simple as that. He'll do a job for us. I think that's a better bet than some emergency, untried Academy kid at this stage.

"I thought Darlington were much better than many teams we have played this season and we were fortunate to go in one up at half time, second half we were better and found a way to win." That's a Boston fan's comment on the match and he's right. In the first half, a neutral would have thought we wer...

Just read that following the injury to Hazel, Boston secured the loan signing of Bromley's Adam Marriott who scored an absolute shedload of goals for King's Lynn and Barnet.

Wasn't he only subbed on Saturday because of the imminent danger of a second yellow.

Don't know what the right approach is with this sort of thing... it seems different clubs have different attitudes when there's violence involved. It is quite a subjective call based on the impact of any backlash especially once a person has 'served their time' (as determined by the courts) so to s...

There was a pretty dramatic ending to one of the weekend games involving the relegation battle. Rushall drew 3-3 with Gloucester and two of their goals were apparently worldies scored by a sub call Sam McLintock. Just two days earlier McLintock, 23, who had his contract cancelled at Boston last year...

Tamworth were mediocre. As has been said above, how they are top of the league is a complete mystery, I've never seen a less likely physical specimen as their centre half, even in the Northern League. The second worst specimen also plays for Tamworth, their long throw specialist. Then there was the...

Nah, it was a brutal, disgraceful lunge, deserving of a 10-match ban. I say that in the spirit of pointing out that the Shields fans were Premier League standard whiners, who moaned at everything, stormed out of the ground en masse as soon as we had the audacity to score, have since called us the wo...

8 How many times under Gowling did we bemoan playing well, but not really hurting the opposition? It is kind of happening under Watson now. Never. We never played well under Gowling. Every game was tedious negative plodding dogshit and I hate him for it. Under Watson, although results haven't reall...

Good to eventually take advantage when circumstances went in our favour. Their fans were angry over the reds but both looked fairly clear-cut. We were ruthless as they tired late on but for a long time it looked like they might get away with a backs-to-the-wall 0-0. Possession-wise it must have bee...

Here's just one example of the amounts required of an investor/benefactor/bankroller at the lowest EFL level. Harrogate Town's accounts for the year ended June, 2022 showed total ongoing liabilities of £4.27m and losses for the year of £1.16m. The financial statement says the company will have suffi...

I'm not sure how far £30k goes in the current climate but we did sign a striker who had scored and created goals at this level (with an extended contract), who was in demand, along with Barrow (loan but cost implications) and Cornish, who looks lively. There is also some ineffectual/not up to it pla...

I think it could be a tight game with them edging it by virtue of having someone who is scoring goals, Blackett. We do look a bit better in defence these days but still hardly ever look like scoring and going 1-0 down generally means game over. Their game against Alfreton followed the same pattern a...

Gowling did pretty much what the Hereford fans said he would. Lots of ineffectual recruits coming and going, often hardly playing.

Barrow looked fit and ready to go for his debut against King's Lynn considering how long he had been out. He was excellent in that victory. At no point has Asante looked anywhere near fit and ready to go since he arrived three months ago.

He says he will be playing again this season despite suffering setbacks in his recovery from a bad injury. Is said to be one of the higher earners at Kiddy. Some player if fit and still not yet 30 but no doubt the injuries have taken a toll. I could imagine he's looking for part-time now. As well as...

Those mentioning that AA was hard done by, and you could be right, but I had heard that he was not really getting involved in the training, and involved in his sons move from Harrogate, (true or not? I dont know), but more importantly for me he looked a down, and a beaten man on the interviews in t...

They roll around, waste time, break up play, tug shirts, they utilise every trick in the book - not just a few times, but as a fully blown ideology right through a match. Watching them play football is a dull, boring and frustrating afternoon and if I lived in Alfreton I'd rather stay in bang my he...

Hazel is out long-term after picking up a bad injury during Boston training. Certainly won't be lining up against us this month. It's a big blow for them as he's been their star man.

Billy Heath didn't think we were woeful. He said: "They are a different team to what they were a month ago. They played some good stuff and put us under a lot of pressure. They didn't look like a side where they are in the league. But we were back to our difficult best. We are a difficult side to pl...

Isn't it already in a disastrous position? It is financially, not ran in a sustainable manner and has the worst team many of us have seen in our lifetime. This is way beyond a team manager. There's a culture that's deep rooted and it needs to be removed. Beggers my belief that people still think we...

He never lets the facts get in the way of a good vendetta/obsession.

Who has the best worst I wonder putting our 3 managers side by side ? Obviously Gowling impacted by Armstrong leaving a mess and Watson impacted by Gowling and Armstrong leaving a mess but all 3 records pretty miserable Maybe Armstrong had the best of the 3, that would be jumped on by his fan boys ...

If it wasn't for Hatfield telling him what he should do the ref would have carried on with the game with a player on two yellows. Never seen anything like it. Surely that's just basic stuff for the officials, keeping record of who has been booked.
