Darlo Uncovered

Dawn Thewlis, ITV North East presenter to Gordan Strachan "So Gordan, would a win on Saturday be a good start" :roll: No Dawn, a defeat would be a good start. If we win on Saturday, then everyone will be expecting wins every week and that just puts me under pressure. But if we lose then any win we ...

Cherie Lunghi and Kenco on the message board on the same day - who'd have predicted that?

Fat Tony - you are a very naughty boy!!!!

PS managing, not playing for

Alright, I've bitten! Who? Which of our other strikers can "run around and not score"? Whelan Thorpe Main. They can all run around and not score, just like Gall did. Spyman's point is that losing Gall will not weaken us because we have other equally useless forwards who can step in and cover for hi...

gall only gets slated because people big him up to be something he's not, its as simple as that No one 'bigged' Gall up on this thread but he was still slagged off. The original post is (in my opinion) about who would replace the 4 players from last Saturday's first team who are currently not avail...

Gall doesn't need replacing any more than he needed replacing before last Saturday. We have other strikers who can run around and not score. Alright, I've bitten! Who? Which of our other strikers can "run around and not score"? And, when whoever takes Gall's place (and since he was occupying a firs...

Call me cynical. but I think this is purely a PR exercise. The police authorities don't treat football fans as human beings - look at the Blackburn - Burnley game - and this apology does nothing to change that attitude. They had some bad publicity and there were a number of complaints, so they send ...

Isn't that becuase you're an ex Shrew?

I think you need to look at the league tables, mate. and then stop sniffing glue :shh: Are you inspired by Stuart Hall when you write? Not at all my French friend. Thought the subject of the post might have given a clue as to my inspiration (for this post) - although it's not written in Olde Englis...

They came, like so many had come before them, to conquer. Big, bad, bruising boisterous bullies, they knew, as they walked with strength, purpose and determination into the Arena, that the 3 points were theirs for the taking. Oh yes, the weak-kneed Quakers would indeed be quaking before the super-st...

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! For the Glorious Darlo finally winneth. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! For the Lord Steven of Staunton prevaileth. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! The kingdom of the Arena...

Currently 2-2, to think people were pulling Staunton up about the fact his Ireland team struggled to beat Cyprus They were hammered by Cyprus - it was someone like San Marino they struggled to beat. Mind you they also failed to beat Liechtenstein - 0-0 - in a World Cup qualifier that cost them a pl...

Pity you're up North GE - we could have met up. But I know how you feel. So far this season I've seen Bury and Crewe - for which I took 2 days holiday since Crewe was on a Tuesday night - and Bournemouth, and I've got flights booked for Burton Albion and I've kept 8 days holiday back for the 3 Chris...

I have to say, excellent effort DTIC Hello Darlo, my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Called the sound of Feethams. In dreams I Never Walked Alone Down that o...

Well Raj Singh is a local Businessman Who has taken over Darlington F C Which as everyone who knows me knows Is a club that’s very dear to me Last season in administration This season began back at square one We didn’t win any of our first 9 games And now our manager has gone Get it right, Rajie Rig...

Fetish_bob wrote:That Darlo failed to win in their first 10 games,

1988/89 season you finished 24th with 42 points

1993/94 season you finished 23rd with 41 points

88/89 season relegated,

93/94 season stayed up, but only one team went down that season.

so 2009/10 22nd with 40 poínts I'd be happy with that

You arse!

Sorry!!

That tonight's gonna be a good night That tonight's gonna be a good night That tonight's gonna be a good, good night Tonight's the night We start the fight Lidds & Maddo Will get it right Go out and smash it The winless run We‘re all up for it Straight from the gun I know that we'll have a ball If w...

If your team keeps losing matches when those about it; Are winning theirs and casting you adrift; If you back the team when up against it; Because you believe it gives the players a lift; If you can wait for half a dozen games; Before calling for the manager’s head; And when he goes, bandy about nam...

When I lived in Leeds, I dragged a group of guys I worked with to the Doncaster Darlo game in the year that Doncaster were relegated out of the League. We had a couple of pre match pints at a pub just outside the station (The Railway maybe?) and told the locals were were going to the game. To a man ...

FAO: OHDFC Considering the charge of the light brigade was one of the most catastrophic military failures ever I find it a bit ironic you thought to parody it with Darlo! Surely it would be ironic if the charge of the Light Brigade had been a massive success, or if we hadn't had a catastrophic star...

He must be s*** if he's only played 300 matches for 5 different clubs

Bottom o’ the League bottom o’ the League bottom o’ the League but onward; Toward the Darlington Arena; Strode the eighteen hundred: 'Forward, South Stand Moaners! Charge for the Ron Greener, he said Or the Corner Bar or concourse instead; To drink! Eighteen hundred. 'Forward, West Stand Whingers!' ...

How about the most successful England manager since Sir Alf Ramsey.

Hope Powell - just think of the publicity!! Crowds would come roaring back just for the novelty value - and even if we lost every game, we'd still have Hope!!

Quakerz wrote:Anybody. Seriously. Because I believe nobody can be any worse with perhaps the exception of that other dinosaur and ex Darlo legend, Brian Little.

Why ex Darlo legend? Is he not still one?

Cheers - Just trying to lighten the mood on here! And am excited about my first pilgrimage (or should that be grim pillage) to the Arena since Crewe...

We come to win points, not to lose them, The goals that we score live after us, The chances missed are oft interred with our bones, So let it be with Darlo. The noble Bournemouth Hath told us we are atrocious: And although it is so, it is a grievous fault, And grievously will Darlo answer it ... Her...

Indeed! She wants to release it as the "We Will Survive Darlo Remix"!!

At first we were afraid, we were petrified; Kept thinkin' we could never live without our beloved side; And we spent so many nights thinkin' how the Georges did us wrong; But we grew strong, when Raj Singh came along; And now we’re back, from outer space; 11 players on the pitch each week although s...

Darlo's here, Darlo's there,
Darlo's heading for the the Blue Square,
With Todd and Windass leading from the front
And eighteen hundred whingeing c**ts

As the orginal poster said: get behind the players, the management, the coaches, the staff, the chairman and THE CLUB!
