Re: Asante

I think we saw his car on the A1 pre match - black Mercedes, fancy plate.

Re: Asante

It's surprising how much is written on here about Asante considering there won't be many on here that can remember what he looks like.

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll

One thing I think we can all agree on is Watson MUST stay.

It's been a perfect storm of problems made worse by J.G. - it would seem he is the Liz Truss of Darlington football Club.

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll

Just to drift off topic for a minute - during Covid, when DFC officials phoned up fans, I was lucky enough to take a call from Alun. He went above and beyond boxing ticking too because he was on for about an hour, and we had a right good natter about Darlo - he was amenable/candid. I'll always be gr...

Re: Blue card & sin bins

Referees surely have enough powers now.

Saturday’s game is a good example, if the ref had cracked down early on Alfreton’s cheating, skullduggery and time wasting then we might have been able to watch a game of football.

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll

If we'd stuck the £30,000 on it to win how much would we have got? £105,000 I got 3/1 early last night so £90k for bet plus the £30k stake = £120k, so depending on time of bet. And the horse romped home, may be our team can now follow that example :D That horse is having a hell of a season and seem...

I think sometimes we forget that players can’t just put their feet up and rest between games, most likely Tommy have to do their day job as well.
I forget. When the team comes out they are just Darlo players to me.

Re: Blue card & sin bins

There should always be a goalie on the bench IMO. It nearly cost us on Saturday and it arguably did cost us Alfreton's second goal according to S.W.

On the Alfreton official site their report says that the red card incident was a case of mistaken identity, however I’m not so sure.

Re: Blood on hands/heads must roll

Before the next BTB, I'd like the club to confirm that the money put into the budget from other sources won't be cut. It seems that the more we put in, the money that comes from other sources and the club goes down. If we raise a record BTB, then we should have a record playing budget. https://yout...

Difficult to tell who he was abusing … shouting black **** … could have been a player or maybe the Ref. Either way, completely and utterly out of order.
Over the years I have heard the above abuse strangely aimed at referees.

D.J. is keeping a very low profile at present.

Moke isn't tough enough IMO. He can cruise around and look good in a good team, a quick lay off or inventive pass - but right now he's not much use to us.
