Darlo Uncovered

Why all the agro over flipping Hartlepool sacking a manager?

First FA Cup hattrick since Glenn Naylor vs Sudbury in 2000/01 season I think?

Loved that win after a horror start. Really kept trying to play on a surface that was nothing like a normal pitch and Beck was absolute class. Cracking result, up to 4th (for 24hrs anyway) up the town!! Excellent workman like win, exactly the sort we have failed to get anything out of in recent sea...

Duplicate post.

Duplicate post.

1-1 HT. Spencer 5 mins, own goal for our equaliser just before the break.

1-0 down after 5 mins.

I think it is initially going to be cover for now, Moke picked up a knock against Farsley and Rose is still getting up to speed. Purver has attracted interest from a number of clubs but unlikely to leave. If Diogo impresses, things may change. Purver has done quite well so far this season, but I wa...

It would be great to go and get the 3pts tonight, ahead of tomorrow's full fixture list just to solidify our current league position. What are other people's thoughts on tonight and are we aware of any team news?

It will be that our match vs Bradford PA and one other in the National League South will be the highest senior football to restart things after the weekend postponements.

Daft decession, football would have been a good release and as mentioned trips that aint exactly local now been shinter mid-week. As if players and club officials will be in yhe house grieving all weekend. The darlington blues festival outdoor main event has also been canned which is another daft m...

Not a great draw, having home advantage is the only potential positive.

Without Wheater and then with Lawlor forced off this is where the massive weakness in the squad lies. We have attacking overkill that in theory should see us create more than enough chances but at the moment it's not clicking and then nothing at the back to defend beyond our first choice. Needs addr...

Nothing is won or lost in August but I think it's fair to say that the set of fixtures we have upfront will give a bit of an indication to where we may be. Getting a home win against Gloucester was a good start but now we have Chorley and Southport away, Banbury home, Spenny away and Farsley home. T...

Someone decided to concept art some football shirts based on chocolate bars.

... but away fans who may have traveled a long way and be looking forward to a gastronomic treat. .... Not words one normally hears to describe public catering ( as opposed to corporate hospitality) at any football ground, or other large event, unfortunately Yes I did over egg it a bit (forgive the...

Bit of an unusual comment at the end of his post-match interview from AA. “It’s going to be a tough season because there’s so many teams going for it. And we haven’t gone for it as much as I would have liked but we’ve still got a really strong squad.” He also made a comment about “if a top player b...

1. Gabbiadini (home to Exeter 1998-99 season. Completed his hat trick by beating three men and then lashing one into the top corner from 30 yards) 2. Gabbiadini (home to Leyton Orient 1999-00 season. Hit one on the outside of his boot and chipped the keeper on an angle) 3. Martin Smith (away to ….?...

Jake Cooper - CB released by Rotherham

Would be a great signing - would give us three very strong options at CB

If he was a target, this isn't happening as he has joined Altrincham.

Plenty of contenders from the Staunton era but Keith Gillespie's brief cameo is still burned into my mind.

Noel Whelan is probably who you are thinking of from that infamous season. Keith Gillespie had a months stint in Mark Cooper's first season I think, though didn't pull up any trees either.

Werling didn’t even play did he?

Was meant to be signing for us when Simon Davey joined us briefly...until he promptly resigned by email at the end of season 09/10 whilst on holiday.

I would say that a worst XI should only include players that were signed onto permanent contracts rather than loan signings (which can be hit and miss). So on that basis here is my go: Michael Price - Goalkeeper Craig James - Defender Matt Plummer - Defender Exodus Geohaghon - Defender Clint Marcell...

About to hit the £130k mark.

Staggering if we get near last season's total given the way things are. You wonder if it would be prudent for the club to make extra provisions for pledges not to be fulfilled at we get into winter this year as the price 'cap' goes up. Agreed, we don't know what the future has in store but at the m...

Would not surprise me if they are doing what Bromley did in the NLS a few years ago, except they milk the extra revenue from the playoffs. Bromley on the other hand would start a season well, make themselves safe/flirt with the playoffs, and then drop off in the second half of the season and did thi...

This has slowed up some bit since it's relaunch and I think 120k is going to be tough to hit in these harder times. I think getting any commitments between the 75-100k mark would be some achievement and maybe a more realistic target this time around. Wish I could contribute but haven't been able to ...

It was the way he led the club's demise. There were things he could have done differently that may have made things easier for us to revive the club instead he just left it to die and had no interest in helping it survive beyond his tenure.

I think we'll have to see which strikers are released by our local big 3. There will be someone like Charman in amongst them and we just have to hope we have the resources to attract them to the club. We have been good at resurrecting careers and giving them a springboard to get back into the profes...

A re-built darlington arena is surely far cheaper than a new ground on fields or waste ground. Pitch could remain and utilities will be in place. All would be needed is tin sheds behind each goal, main stand and flat area which could be built on in future, the spare land could be used for car parki...
