Re: Poolie fail to get to Wembley
If they can get in, or if they can afford it. And if they can stand the stench of sportswashing. Yes, good point. Chelsea V Newcastle at the weekend - YUK. I watched neither MOTD or MOTD2 and felt better for it. Good piece on that match here https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2022/mar/13/sta...

Re: Poolie fail to get to Wembley
Guess they can concentrate on making a late push for the play offs now Positive you’re a Poolie fan. I do like to see them do well, then again i like to see all the north east teams do well. I often think how great it would be to see darlington, hartlepool, gateshead and york all playing in league ...

Re: Striker
Didn’t Tommy Wright also come from Barnsley? Also I believe Carl Airey was signed from them as well. Yes, one of the stars in our 1985 promotion side. Think he went abroad after us, a rare Darlo export! He went to Charleroi in Belgium but didn't settle and played just three games at the start of th...

Re: Striker
I think Phil Lloyd, scorer of the second goal against Middleborough in the FAC in 85, came to us from Barnsley, too.

Re: Lol Morgan
After managing Darlington he left to manage Norwich City from 1966/69. What he did after that I have no idea. I am guessing he left football management after that but if anyone knows what happened to him it would be interesting to know. According to the Eastern Daily Press, after leaving Norwich, w...

Re: Farsley game
Looking forward to this one since missing the Spenny home game. Need a win, hopefully we can travel back with 3 points. I would never have thought of Farsley as our bogey team (not least because I don't believe in bogey teams) but of all the teams we've played three or more times away, in league ma...

Re: Stockport
Enjoyed watching their win on TV tonight, really good game. Had it all. Eight goals, a comedy own goal redeemed by the player putting one in the correct goal, a classic defender/goalie mix up, an elaborate fall for a penalty, some neat finishing, and the 'underdogs' coming back from two behind (twi...

Re: Potential new local derbies
The quality of teams in the Northern League is fast being eroded. Imagine if in 2012 we had been placed into a league which had not included Spennymoor South Shields Dunston Marske Hebburn and Shildon. We would have had it won by Christmas. Out of them teams there was only really Spenny who were a ...

Re: Mission Impossible - Mission Accomplished!
“At its peak Mission Impossible was selling between 800 and 1,000 copies on average gates of 2,500, which was a phenomenal take-up rate…” For those of a certain age, Mission Impossible was as integral to 90s-era Darlo as Feethams, Hodgy and Dugald McCarrison’s loan spell.

Call me a pedant ("ok, you're a pedant") but with a topic title like that I thought we might actually see some clips. But anyway, mine is easy. Northampton v Darlo at the County Ground on a beautiful spring day in April 1991. Chosen because it's the greatest goal I’ve ever seen Darlo score, and prob...
