Darlo Uncovered

It's an interesting one, I am what i class as a die hard fan, go to as many competitive matches as I can which may involve hundreds of miles driven etc but I could not for the life of me get excited about the match on Thursday, I did the Durham game last Saturday when only 100 turned up to see the n...

Well Cartman is playing I understand

Thought the same, wonder if it was re-turfed and not seeded

Darlo 2-1 Safc Thompson & Mitchell

Reckon another Striker is coming in!

Might be wrong but it looked like Adam had bulked up a bit over the summer and appeared to be carrying more muscle, this may well be a good addition for battling on the wing and RB. I saw David a few times last season and he seems to be progressing well. Isn't Cocks a left footed centre mid? I was ...

Agreed Spyman, just how he looked, maybe some muscle

Hunter was CB with White and Galbraith was LB

Burgess and Turnbull I believe. Burgess looks like an absolute brute of a defender.

Agreed, very intimidating build and not slow by the looks of his sprints

Fair enough, apologies to the linesman, s*** defence lol

Certainly was, he argued till blue in the face it was the right decision, think his head set got him all excited

For me Fisher had a decent game and the big Ginger RB, didn't rate Gibbons much although he was better when Portas went off, Spooner was absent most of the half. Mitchell looks to have filled out a bit, Brown played very well. Great to see Armstrong going through his paces, the new CB Burgess looks ...

The reserves look like the U18 squad of last season mostly as I expected

Aye will be going, £5 for 2 matches is great value

House of Pain "Jump around"
MC Hammer "Can't touch this"

Maybe not but would be different

I thought that! I say again I suspect this may be our new captain the season after this one

Hmmm DV CC tiles ratio to number of years as a 1st class county........ To coin a phrase, jog on son, that's all lol

Btw very impressive win, yet again Durham bow hot and cold

Never realized his Twin Brother played for the Spartans and is also a Central Midfielder, could Phil be a future captain? He is described on Wiki as Turnbull plays as a central midfielder and is comfortable playing with either foot. He has been described as fiercely competitive and "is more than cap...

Confirmed we have signed Turnbull, happy days

Be a real bonus is we got him but what to do with the squad then?

A midfield selection from:
Turnbull
Youhill
Nowakowski
Mitchell
Portas
Thompson
Galbraith
Scott

A ridiculous line up and of course cry's of exceeding playing budgets etc

Q, I say vain hope in the way that it is been left to chance that it is picked up as opposed to direct contact, I don't make excuses for them as I agree that this forum etc should be monitored and suspect it will be but for for some reason this thread etc has not been acted upon by the club, why I d...

In regards to BM, has anyone who is concerned over the lack of information actually contacted the club i.e. Dave Mills etc for an update or is it the usual venting their spleen on a non official DFC forum in the vain hope that someone from the club reads the thread? But to me, this misses the point...

It would appear there has been a change of policy on the Social Media front, maybe the PR company has taken control and they are trying to be more inclusive and generate a Darlo community feel to the media output, I can understand this in raising the clubs profile during a traditional quiet period, ...

Ditto

Yeah maybe i'm been harsh, as you say a squad player

I must have been the only one who thought he was pretty poor and MG kept him for some unexplained reason, always looked out of his depth when under pressure and not a patch on the guys he who were chosen over him. All said I wish him well and maybe he could borrow Ward's splinter pliers and pile cre...

I suppose many people move/relocate for their work and a Full time position as a Kitman will pay a decent wage, as he said the chance to be back in the football league is something not to turn down if you love the job and live the game.

True Spyman, would be nice not to be the prize scalp this season

The last 3 seasons every club we have played have raised their games against us it would appear and this has been backed up by players/managers comments. I do wonder this season if we will be the team that everyone is out to beat or will Salford have taken that mantle given their high profile owners...
