Darlo Uncovered

Morecambe away! Also, of the matches that finished - Accrington away on a Tuesday night, open away end, freezing, lashed it down from start to finish. That was the night Jeff Winter accused Accy of treating Darlo fans like animals for not giving us warm rugs/shelter/food etc and for having the gall ...

Tommy Wright down at Barnet - pretty sure the ball bounced up in the air straight from kick off and elbows Tommy went flying in.

Also, wasn't there a derby match in that era where we completely turned it on its head late on? I remember we were absolutely hopeless for nearly all of it - completely outplayed - and then Hodgson made what looked like an utterly random decision to bring Richard Hope off the bench and put him up f...

Just tuning in to the Wycombe game and wondered why some teams seem to do so well repeatedly in the cups and we never do. When did we last make the 3rd round? Am I right in thinking we were in the conference and played Halifax, surely it can't be? We "reached" the 3rd Round in 99/00 season, by virt...

I don't think st holders should get first dibs, it should be the fans that went tonight Don't agree. STH's have made the commitment up front to the club. So. This would be my plan - 1st. STHs. (today/this evening) 2nd. Stub holders for last night. (This evening / tomorrow morning) 3rd. (assuming th...

Firstly, for those who spent most of Saturday bleating about the "rugby tackle" from their keeper and how it was a certain red - give your heads a shake. That corner that hit the bar was 100% the right call, keeper got a touch, I was about 15ft away. Thirdly, Browny a touch lucky perhaps to get away...

I didn't think their keepers yellow should have been red, don't even think it should have been yellow. In fact I expected the red to give them the free kick. I'm sick and tired of listening to the same old shite every time Darlo bottle it in a big game. We were absolute dogshit today, against a side...

Bit off subject but would have been around that season that Mike Pollit did his comedy air kick in the last min that cost us a game 1 nil . Cant remember who that was against ? Anyone remember ? Was it Barnet? Went Down as a Sean Gregan own goal. About 94/95 time maybe Sent from my iPhone using Tap...

I'll add John McLelland to the list. Northern Irish international. Played in two world cups. For Rangers. And Graham Taylor's Watfordteam in the 80's. Tenuous, he only played about 10 mins. Hearing his leg snap from 20 yards away at the Vic will stay with me for a long time Sent from my iPhone usin...

Gary Bannister was very well known to the 1980s panini enthusiasts.

Faustino... Oh, wait

Bollocks Portas should have gone, total rubbish. Stick on yellow, absolutely nothing more. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a soft little tart. Darlo battled brilliantly today, albeit totally on the back foot second half - we showed first half that we could more than match them, but seemed to try and ...

Guaranteed TV that one, possibly the Gateshead/Warrington one too. Great publicity for the smaller clubs in the north east, and great potential humiliation for one club in particular

Martin Smith against Lewes.

Craig Russell's goal.

Aye, that was at Forest mate, late late winner - right over Dave Beasant's (who mustve been 52 even then) head.

Marco's run from the halfway line away at Orient straight from 2nd half kick off.
Danny Barbara's overhead kick (i think) away at Bury in the LDV-Simod-SherpaVan-Autoglass-Windscreens-Cup-Trophy
Gary Bennett's screamer at the Vic

Those are my personal favourites today.

I know the real-ale crew have got train tickets for about £42 quid. No doubt will involve breaking the tickets down, but if you put in the effort to look hard enough it's there.

Yackley Quaker might put a bit more meat on the bones of the above...

So was I. Apart from Wembley, the most mental I've ever gone at a match was when super-sub Painter scored in front of what must have been 2500-3000 Darlo fans. Brilliant night. In fact, a bloody good line up there - the '96 Wembley team hadnt quite broken up by then, but notice that Bannister, Gaugh...

The first pub you come to in the town (not the one right near the station, didn't go in there) was a decent real ale pub doing plenty of food trade too. We went in before and after the game, it was packed afterwards. Another pub further along the town just over a bridge, nowt nor summat of a place b...

Wow

I've always liked the playoffs for reasons already given but (not saying it should happen) but if football followed rugby and gave, say a bonus point for more than a certain number of goals scored (either 3 or 4 in a match) it'd make for more interesting outcomes in normal league games. Stops the "p...

I'm not, but Harry the Quaker is York based and i think he drives up.

This years start to Super League has been awesome, maybe the best yet. Nice to see Cas and Widnes off to flyers, change from the norm. Leeds/Warrington, Huddersfield/Leeds and Widnes/Salford have been real crackers. Bradford's ongoing owner woes and points deduction, the Good Doctor at Salford, Lond...

Dave Knight was undoubtedly terrible.....but hadnt we had him previously when hed been decent? unless me mind is going, remember being quite happy when I heard he was coming back.........until he played :( No you're right, he was in nets at Notts Co the day he got injured and Phil Stamps arse took ...

I was right behind him too, glad we share the same opinion there. Like I said, I made him my scapegoat and just didn't like him.

Agree with most regarding Matt Clarke - I thought he got a rough deal from parts of the Tinshed. Mor Diop stays off my list purely because of the (honestly) superb flowing move he started and finished away at Shrewsbury. We went mental when that went in to secure a very rare away win, and one which ...

Any chance that anybody can help me get a Burscough away programme from just before Christmas? Burscough were unable to provide Laura with any programmes for subscribers so I didn't get one!!!!! Anyone who knows me will know this is a big deal!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obviously i'll be happy to cough to you an...

Just spoke to Kendal FC (11:40). Game is on. No further pitch inspection planned. Pitch is in good condition. Which we now all know is absolute bollocks. From the photos I've seen, and over an hour to kick off, no chance. Pisses me off when clubs make bold statements like that, it bites them on the...

That was seriously mint. Just wish Whitey had thrown himself at that ball late on.

As an infrequent match goer I can't get over how good Thommo is, yes he gives it away now and again but the ball sticks to him in a way I haven't seen since Gabbiadini.

Cannot underestimate how good a hat trick that was, 25 yard postage stamp free kick, 20 yard half volley on the turn and a stretched finish after awesome work from Dowson. This could end up 10 but will probably finish 4-2

We are just pulling into Bolton on the bog hopper, odd shower around but currently sunny. Forecast wind and heavy rain/hail/thunder later on
