Darlo Uncovered

I assume it would have to be TT. We were rumoured with Whitley, however he has since signed for Scarborough. The only other keeper we have on our books is Harvey Kelly. Surely there is no way that Kelly is the preferred choice. I’d be amazed. You’d hope not given he can’t kick the ball ten yards in...

I think 3-5-2 is something that needs time. You can't dip in and out of it, particularly at our level, because it needs players to understand their jobs a bit more. I don't buy this idea that we can't play it, we don't live in some unique bubble that prevents us being able to adapt to a system used...

Leaving Cameron to one side, the Scottish leagues are weak. A number of players signed from the Scottish Championship couldn’t even get bedded in with Hartlepool in Div 2! (bottom end of Div 2 )

We signed Falkingham out of Scottish League 1 and he found this level an absolute walk in the park.

Are you sure you're not Darlogramps it's his way of dealing with stuff, constantly blathering on about his own agenda.in this case Darlington FC media. Truly bizarre response to completely legitimate concerns. Everything said is reasonable and put across logically and respectfully. Unlike your resp...

So within 21 hours, the club went from, "Alun hasn't had chance to speak to all of the players due to being on holiday", to, "here is our retained list". Another climbdown. Just like the Sukar contract article & just like the Boost the Budget fines article. Be absolutely fantastic if the club didn'...

Baron, I am not sure about your hypothesis, if all the details were out now there is nothing to boost the BTB in the crucial final weeks. It may just be that the board are playing a very canny strategy that delivers good news once the BTB slows down after an excellent start from fantastic fans. I e...

See your at it again Darlo97,you really have a problem with Darlington media team, I really wish you would take it up with the relevant people. It's getting monotonous seeing you bring it to virtually every thread posted, we know you don't like the media output time or how they put information out,...

What % of shareholding in the club would you be willing to part with then? Bearing in mind that anybody investing any serious amounts of cash would want majority shareholding (i.e. 51%). Selling to a private investor/individual doesn’t just have an immediate impact. It has a knock on impact to who ...

[quote=Darlobill post_id=505274 time=<a href="tel:1682795787">1682795787</a> user_id=22839] AA very down, I thinks he has just realised without some investment a fan owned club at out level has gone as far as we can go. BTB touches the sides we need some serious investment the current DFC board are...

Actually scrap that, there’s no mention of Wheater at all in the match preview. Our club captain appears to have gone missing since being able to take part in the warm-up at Banbury. Total radio silence. YOU’VE FALLEN AT THE FIRST HURDLE RAY No surprise. Ray’s media output is absolutely dreadful. D...

I would have thought that intercity rivalry like Celtic/Rangers or Everton/ Liverpool is on a different level of intensity to Darlington/ Hartlepool which are 25 miles apart. You earlier claimed teams like York, Blyth and South Shields were greater rivals than Pools and then have now minimised our ...

Hartlepool that is it, the rest are just a minor inconvenience. Not much point having a rivalry with a team we never play. Might as well say Boro as they are our nearest geographical EFL team. Forget Poolie until we are in the same league as them. Much more relevant to focus on the teams in our pre...

In Alun I trust.

I fully accept that I am something of a dinosaur, but I expect a football club to concentrate on playing football. When did the purpose of a football club become to do good in the local community? Don’t get me wrong I am happy to donate towards the Foodbank etc. but surely this is a side issue not ...

Does look like a penalty on the Farsley footage like though you can't actually see the contact on Rivers given where the camera is. The ball does change direction as well but again can't see if there is any contact with it by the defender or if it just bounces off Rivers. Expect those behind the go...

Spennymoor are such a strange club. Have all the resources in the world but every time you go there it feels like the place is ran by children, in respect to security and safety of the spectators in the ground. As mentioned by other people, if they have any serious ambition of playing football leagu...

Only just got round to posting my summary from last night. What in the actual fuck was that 1st 10 minutes?!?! Absolutely obscene, never seen anything like it. Still disagree with the sending off, didn’t look like a straight red at all - a yellow at best, at least from the viewpoint of where we was...

We've had long enough to judge this team now and it's obvious we are in for another season of complete mediocrity at very best. Suppose it is what it is. We are where we are as a club and any thoughts of getting out this division feel extremely long term. It's difficult to get excited about games as...

We stood off their player and gave him the freedom of the penalty area for the first and allowed the ball to bounce around right in front of the goal for the second with no-one showing any determination or steel to clear it. Schoolboy defending like that is unforgiveable and Curzon couldn't quite b...

2) The club needs it's own facility. I don't care how ambitious it is we need to find a way. Wimbledon and FC Utd managed. I can safely say that its the only way we can progress towards full time football and away from getting beat by bankrolled village teams. Some really bad examples. Wimbledon di...

He has been saying that for 3 years just can’t see it happening, good that Ray is asking the right questions but everyone just looks fed up and I wish Stockdale would stop grinning. 1) You blatantly have an axe to grind with the club. It's truly dull. Stockdale delivers a comprehensive review of th...

Wrexham fans also described Mark Beck as one of the worst footballers they’d ever seen, and he turned out alright. Whilst Cassidy’s goal-scoring record is not fantastic, it has been predominately in the league(s) above (with over 150 appearances in the EFL). York fans don’t rate him particularly hi...

Well the highlights is a definite hint of how to score past us. CB are being blamed but from what I can make out the goals weren't necessarily scored by players who would expect CB to be picking up. The first was a late runner (CM?), the fourth came from a free header at the back post (RB). To me i...

Defence shocking tonight conceding headed goals like we did, and with only 2 weeks to go pretty worrying tbh. Far too lightweight.Played some nice football at times and Andrew Nelson could be a massive bonus if he can get his fitness back Sent from my moto g(6) play using Tapatalk Can only echo thi...

Let's put this back on topic. I'm concerned that Hartlepool may get promoted this season.....discuss I don’t care if they do now 😇 Bit weird. How on earth your political allegiance allows you to soften your stance on such a woeful football club, ran by a man who nearly destroyed this club, is confu...

TBH I’m glad Pools are doing well in this current climate.

Why?

What an absolutely mental comment about Sousa. He's been our best player since joining and contributes regular goals and assists.

DJ has been on the Non League Show podcast, stating we lost around 50k in January.

The situation is completely untenable and I think we should refuse to play from Saturday onwards.

They've gone from against modern football banners to taking on loans at all costs in under a decade. Fair play. Just starting to look stupid. They are in this ‘tin pot’ league as they were shyte for a season in the conference been the same trying to get out of it for several years!! Own fault ! The...
