Moved Brown to right-back and then Portas in to the centre of midfield. Spennymoor were starting to go more direct and Taylor was always a threat in the air.

Ah right, thanks D97.

Brown on for Syers seems like a strange move. What's that about?

John Spuhler,Harry Bell,Ken Morton,Richard Davis and Tom Reynolds formed Darlington's forward line during the 1955/56 Season but what was unusual about it ? Did they all work together downt pit? Or int rolling mills? Had they all suffered from rickets or diphtheria? Were they all the illegitimate c...

Pete, seriously, if this season has shown anything it's that there is no such thing in this division.

It's not that long ago that Oxford City was in the Conf Nth, so anything is possible.

Kings Lynn is a terrible place to get too from the North. Same travelling time from Darlington to KL as Darlo-Brackley and 30 mins less than Darlo-Gloucester, according to the AA, but let's face it, none of those three should be anywhere near a 'northern' division. But I guess that's the problem wi...

What is going on at Blyth? They've just lost their seventh match on the trot.

Do you know what. I just think that York City, the club and all the supporters, have simply lost the sense of fun. Everything about the set up is just grim and too bloody serious. Their fans go to the matches demanding 3 points. It rubs off on their players who are scared on the pitch.They're so fi...

A big mention to Gary Brown who’s massive leap into the snow made the goal celebration look even better :clap: That's a good point actually. GB's leap is spectacular - hadn't noticed it before but just rewatched the shortlist. Speaking of which Lawrenson says ( https://youtu.be/eRfXyA46ykE?t=79 ) i...

The squad last year (which lost 6-1 to Corby) was: Emile Heskey, Kevin Davies, Stan Varga, Eider Gudjohnsen, William Gallas, Mark Crossley, Dion Dublin, Darren Anderton, Danny Mills, Chris Waddle, Stiliyan Petrov, Trevor Sinclair, Alan Stubbs, Danny Murphy, Matty Holland, Nigel Winterburn, Ian Hart...

I'd argue you're jumping the gun by talking about TW's 'achievements'. He's not achieved anything other than taking a mid-table team into mid-table with a mid-table budget. That's not begrudging, I just don't think it's anything to be overly impressed with. TW himself, in his post-match interview, ...

I couldn’t put James Gray on, because the fans hammer him even before he gets on the pitch.

So what's the point having him on the bench at all if MG is going to let the fans influence his team selection/substitutions?

BM (we're away at FCUM)? Switch to Sunday at Harrogate? Play it at N Ferriby?

They'd be better off looking for some upcoming manager, who has already got a good record in non-league football. Gray doesn't qualify under either category!! I’m sure Gray would consider himself so What he achieved at Darlo was fantastic, but it has now been tarnished by what he's done at York. No...

Must say last time i was at marske there ground was piss poor. Would not suprise me if they do nowt to it so they are demoted They've got 14 games to play in 28 days so the state of the ground might be irrelevant come May. They're doing Sat/Tues/Th or Sat/Mon/Weds for the rest of the season. They'l...

buying £11 pints in Leeds (don't ask...). Sorry, Allan, but I'm afraid you will have to explain that. Makes that London look cheap. Paid £17 entry to a beer festival then bought 8 tokens for £20, each one of which was exchanged for one third of a pint. £37 for 2 and two thirds pints actually comes ...

I guess Gloucester could be moved back across to the Northern section. I know there's always a problem allocating teams to NLN and NLS given the preponderance of southern clubs at that level but putting Gloucester back in NLN is just insanity, so I hope you're wrong super_les. It's further south th...

Tonked 4-1 at Gainsborough today. What a strange division this is.

Gainsborough was the capital of England in 1013, also bizarrely of Denmark for five weeks in that same year. And it's Britain's most inland port. Amazing what you can learn on here!! Apparently Brian Little once managed "the holy blues" (aka Trinity) Indeed he did. They've had some interesting mana...

If this is true, and I really hope it is, I’ll be going. I fancy this if it goes ahead.. Anyone been checking out flights and hotels?? :) Me, you, and a thousand others! Little tip (and apologies for those who know this): some airlines (and possibly some hotel chains) operate dynamic pricing where ...

Picked up a thigh strain last Sat but should be back at training on Thurs according to TW http://darlingtonfootballclub.co.uk/tom ... pre-match/

Also as an aside great to see we're planning on introducing goal gifs :clap: Can you actually see this happening? The club can barely update us with the game as it is.... When we do get a score update, it's 5 mins after the goal. I follow the DFCSG account for match updates if I ain't there, not th...

Of course. Cheers.

DJ in his opening just made a brief comment that the finances were not where he had hoped they would be, but still better than previous year. The meeting did not cover finance but mainly concentrated on playing side. I challenged CS afterwards, who DJ had said was looking at the finances, but he wa...
