Darlo Uncovered

As long as 28 days have elapsed parent club can recall. There is an exception for goalkeepers where you don't need to wait 28 days. I strangely assumed that Barrow would still be with York day-to-day - so would have already been looked at. Like I assumed that Young would still be with Sunderland dur...

Football throws more people out than it keep, but I'd never rule out anyone being able to get a good fit somewhere and it working out for a year or two...anything beyond that is a very long time in football.

I thought that.

Unless I am mistaken there wasn't a single Gowling player who featured against Curzon Ashton?

It was Armstrong + Watson.

What were the actual laws when football was first played? Back passes, Substitutes and Offsides were all brought in as the game developed...

Which means a sin bin will be communicated through issuing a yellow card + verbal confirmation to the player to confirm they need to go to the sin bin.

As it has been for the past however many seasons it has been trialled for below step 4.

There's also Ashton United, Ashton Town and Ashton Athletic. It's a very decent setup, they're always welcoming, no need for segregation and never any animosity that I've seen. Great pitch too-lay off them! They're a decent team and we've been really struggling so let's enjoy the ride. Ashton Town ...

Yesterday marked the 25th aniversary of the last all-English Premier League side. "Not Darlo related, do-one" you scream? That team contained two players with Darlo connections. Who can guess who they are? And the last "All English" side to actually win anything were" ? I thought it was West Ham......

I listened on DFR. Didn’t this goalie make two good saves at the end of the match? I think from Salkeld.

Not sure I'd describe one from Salkeld as a save as much as he picked up a shot...

Indeed. I think if we were to beat Southport by two goals we would be back level with them on GD as well.

Games against teams around us arguably '7 pointers' never mind 6 pointers as they could reduce the damage of the Chorley / Buxton games.

The only hope I cling onto is putting it that we need 6 more points than Kings Lynn, 7 more points than Banbury and 8 more points than Southport out of the 36 that there are to play for. We play Banbury and Southport so that is where we need 3 of them need to come from... I'd say we need 6 points f...

Think those numbers are quite conservative.

I know full backs in NPL Division One costing more than what you have down for Barrow there.

And youth strikers on loan from fellow NLN clubs to that level who are paid more than what you have down for Cornish.

Bang on. Obviously Kev would be at most matches anyway, but he must be putting in 10 hours of graft away from the ground per match he records - decimating his weekend. He also uses up his leave from work to go shit-tips on a Tuesday night. And all of that is before we talk abou8t the fact that his ...

What could possibly go wrong.

Things are not looking good at Rochdale.

The statement from the chairman is pretty blunt

"It has no cash to continue operating"..."the existence of the club is at stake"

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...

Rushall have taken an interesting approach to this by pretty much ignoring it completely and not making any reference to it whatsoever as if it didn't happen. Wonder what became of Marcus Maddison? Didn't he say he wanted to become a tattoo artist or something? Unless he has been released after 25%...

Anyone know what this embarrassment is about?

Please don't tell me these flags are anywhere near our home games?

Bit of inspiration.

We can’t even find a replacement for Mr Q. That’s how far things have slipped.

By memory he was last seen when we were playing well - yep, that long ago….

Could you have landed on the problem?

Causation v correlation?

Can I sum up the first post. The economics, when run as a not for profit, don't provide a return on investment. We therefore need to relinquish control to a private investor who won't be able to get a return on their investment. If we can't generate enough surplus income to provide a return on inves...

I'd sooner we use the existing yellow and red cards to sort out the issues at hand (including dissent but also timewasting) rather than introducing things like cards no one asked for which might very well make other problems worse. The cards are for existing offences. The punishment for the offence...

The sin bin is based on a view that clubs care more about results than £10 fines. It's actually being discussed around translating disciplinary into actual points sanctions. The FA are discussing with the various leagues at the moment. Some amateur leagues have began doing it and view is that might ...

If you look online today there is some stuff kicking off in Australia at the moment. They have confirmed they lose 40% of officials year on year and the main reason given is abuse. People think it is extreme but there is a genuine fear from FIFA and all the country FAs that football is no longer sus...

To be honest none of that will matter when there aren't any left - and that is what every FA across Europe is worried about at the moment - from what I was told there were basically crisis talks around it last summer based on the data which was being seen.

I should add - it might actually be worth some journalists digging into the origins of this stuff - and the ramp up in attention to participant behaviour this season in the pro game. To be honest though I doubt they will as frankly 95% of the problems are being generated or exacerbated by a media wh...

What if a team getting beat has 2 men sent off then 1 in sin bin so only have 8 men on pitch does the game get abandoned ? No. The minimum number of players required on the field is 7 per team. ;) Okay Old Git, what happens if a team has 2 players sent off (down to 9) then 2 in the sin bin (now 7) ...

Sin bins must have been in football for about 6 or 7 seasons now and became mandatory below Northern Prem level about 5 years ago. Sure it was 2017 for trials and 2019/20 season that they became mandatory? Only remember as that season our pool did Northern Prem (no sin bin) and North West Counties /...

Precautionary usually means by club officials - often with a match official lined up if needed.

If there is absolutely no concern then there is no reason to get an official in.

So you don't want expertise in running a football club at a director level you just want a new club secretary?

Due to errors made by our first secretary after reforming (Shildon and the international clearance thing - 10? years ago), and the next one after that (seat gate - I think - 6? years ago)
