Old ground but he has left us with this turd of a season unfortunately, how well he did or didn’t do at blyth doesn’t help us

Point proven. Such a bore.

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 ...

To Ashton

The problem for me is that some refs can handle a bit of back chat, usually in the heat of the moment, and a calming word or two diffuses the situation. Then you get refs who you can’t even speak to taking offence at everything. Just like some refs are red and yellow card happy you’ll get the same r...

Broken record I know! , but how come we still have not signed a couple of creative players. They have been here long enough now surely to have made this happen. You telling me that the 3 N East big clubs don’t have any decent players who would benefit from a loan. Thought once transfer window close...

The pitch is a bit wet apparently.

Hopefully something will be announced today rather than tomorrow night. Try build up some excitement for the game before people decide to sack it off and go shopping. Heard any rumours loan star?

If/when we do go down, there's plenty of blame to go around - Armstrong got his summer recruitment wrong, and couldn't turn around our form (we've been rubbish for about 13 months now - Armstrong was in charge for a lot of that), Gowling was a disaster, and the board have made numerous bad decision...

If he lost heart he should have quit rather than sign a 2 + year contract, you can spout all the fouls language in the world but it won’t Change the fact he built the majority of the team we have now languishing in the bottom 4, and even you aren’t deluded enough to claim we have a bottom 4 budget....

‘Without getting to much in to it, that mentality of being minnows, or the unlucky club, or the no money club, needs to stop right across the FC. We are Darlington Football Club, backed by a fantastic fan-base that provides the club with adequate resources (in terms of voluntary hours & financial s...

From taking to fellow fans I don't detect in the silent majority a groundswell of opinion for people who have made mistakes to resign, be chucked out, guillotined or put in the stocks in the market place for a period of self-reflection. It's clear mistakes have been made that led us to this point a...

An apology and explanation would be nice. The reasons why Gowling got the job ahead of the rest would be a start. Then we as owners can see why they made the decision. A bit of transparency never goes amiss. Personally, as much as I think we're as good as down already, I think it would be right for...

The number of amateurish mistakes that have been made is horrendous, but hey, we can always do a third BTB or rattle a few buckets if more "mistakes" are made. And therein lies the problem, mistakes are made and the fans have to bail it out. Very easy to gamble with other peoples money when there’s...

Regardless of his contractual work-commitments to DFC, I'm not sure insinuating that one of our supporters is a c*nt adheres to our fan-owned values. Our fan-owned model means fans get an equal say in who runs the football club regardless of their personality ;) I think the point here is the club e...

Sorry, are we saying we have a GK coach who doesn't actually attend training sessions and just turns up to games when Newcastle aren't playing (presume the suggestion here is he's a Newcastle fan and is watching them play, rather than working?). Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk That’s the cr...

Anyway as for the game, that was never a penalty. Fuckwittery refereeing again.

Have you seriously never seen or signed a contract before? Almost every contract is full of clauses and various terms to protect both parties in case of disputes. That's literally the point of a contract. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk Yes I know to protect both parties, ie you can’t just ...

On this thing with the GK coach.. Are we suggesting that we should be paying a GK coach what would presumably be 12 hours pay to warm an experienced GK up for 15 minutes before a game? Twice in a week this week? I’m just confused why there’s people think that this is a good use of our money. What a...

It is a good summary but it doesn’t suit 97s narrative that the club is being mismanaged. Don’t know if he has some personal grudge with some people at the club, or is just a serial moaner, but either way he is beginning to sound like a broken record. But he’s right though, isn’t he? He called the ...

So it is a rumour ;) 97 - things would be simpler if you just said/wrote something along the lines of "I reckon Asante is on huge huge money" instead of making out that you know, because you don't know that he is, anymore than I don't know that he isn't. And it's not "common knowledge" either! Nobo...

I'm not saying Asante hasn't been a huge disappointment (he has) or that the gamble of effectively replacing Hazel with him has worked out (it hasn't), but I do have a bit of sympathy with all of our strikers this season, as we just do not create chances for our strikers. Hazel looked awful for us,...

The fact Armstrong and Asante are still likely going to be costing us next year is frightening Is that a fact? I’d heard we weren’t paying AA anymore? What do you know?! He knows fuck all.He needs counselling. Aye you can just terminate 2 year contracts for a couple of months salary.. :wtf: You lit...

There maybe a possibility that Asante may come good, no one seems to be considering that. With his few appearances (4 starts and 3 subs) in his first 7 games and no sign of him in the subsequent 5 games, I think it might take a Lazarus size miracle for that to happen. But you are right miracles do ...

Steve might be able to push us three places up the table, it's possible, but if we go down the ramifications could mean trouble. I'm thinking; Board resignations? Watson leaving? A possible attempted coup by Gray :o If we go down both boards need to take full responsibility for this and heads shoul...

However you look at things, it's very clear that Hazel, when used right and given the right service, can be an extremely effective performer at this level. But Gowling had decided he wanted him out and Asante in. We'll now never know if Hazel would have been restored to his effective best under SW ...

First team stats he's scored 2 league goals. Hatfield and Curry top scorers with 3 each. Says it all really.

South shields, Kings Lynn and Banbury. There’s 3 that he has that I can think of.
