Darlo Uncovered

Just got back from 2 weeks in Portugal. Was appalled that no one else had raised this subject. Not exactly the languague that I would use...............................but get in there !!!!!!!!!!. Corruption and cover up at the highest level of the Tory Government. News International, Rupert Murdoc...

I think the bloke who writes these articles, littered with all this crap, is called Matt Newsum. Having had a bit of a dig around, he's the only online sports writer the BBC have in the North East that I can find. I'm guessing he's based in Newcastle and won't have a clue about the non league.

Fulham have just signed another keeper, meaning Stockdale is likely to leave, albeit on loan. He's supposedly interested in joining Swansea too.

Chris Moore is a victory for football. :lol: What happened to bedaledarlo? His posts were funny. Probably not what he intended though. Moore-I thought he was a decent player. But we can do better. Good luck to him though. If he signs for Gateshead (does anyone else find the nickname Heed ridiculous...

This is not a comparative question in terms of relative to Pools etc, just wondering if you have sold more than last year and if the FA Vase win has generated extra interest? Didn't Raj want 2,000 shifted to carry on?--is that still his position or is he ok with less/or wants more? The Wembley win ...

Absolutely tragic news. RIP Paul.

Darlogramps you put the thick in 'thick c***' , and the c*** too for that matter. What are you banging your gums at trying to lecture IOR on forward planning, they have been in charge over a decade and haven't let us down yet, if they decide enough is enough there is not much we can do.....unless w...

Why would I worry about things going kaput as you put it? Until I win the euro millions I am not going to be able to do much about it. Is worrying about things going wrong going to help the situation ...????? As for hypethetical new owners I was just merey pointing out that tere is little I can do ...

shut up, you daft old c***. all the wishing in the world on your part won't cause pools to go tits up. no-one's boasting about our owners, crowds or anything, most of us have been around long enough to fight shy of that, but if i see a load of utter bollocks written about what is essentially a dece...

DL5 - Please explain to me what being worried or concerned about attendances in over a year NOW is going to achieve....? As Mr Quakerz says - IOR will pull out or sell th club eventually. It is quite simple a new owner will either increase the budget, keep a similar budget or reduce the budget. It ...

DL5 - Please explain to me what being worried or concerned about attendances in over a year NOW is going to achieve....? You should be planning way down the line. Okay so Hartlepool have some extra fans on board, now how do they keep them there? If you don't worry about what will happen down the li...

love it! wrote:I cant believe this post is still going. Why do so many pools fans keep posting on here? IOR have done a cracking offer but we darlo fans hope it goes tits up on the pitch next season just like how you lot hope we fcuk up too. Surely thats it, nothing more to discuss?

Agreed.

Saying "I was angry" is never an excuse. Anyone can control their anger, those who say something they later regret just choose not to.

To be honest, the way some people reacted to him on here was quite frankly embarrassing. Expecting the world out of a player who has come through the youth system of a non league club is ridiculous. Smith showed last season that he has the capability to play in the 1st team, albeit he didn't demonst...

Quakerz wrote: Purcell apparently will not be even fit to start training until November.

Where did you read that?

Must admit I didn't see that one coming. I thought now we had Rundle, we'd be finished looking for forwards (I know Rundle isn't an out and out forward, but it looks like he'll be used on the left of a front 3, if and when he plays). But a front 3 of Purcell, Hatch and Walshaw, with Campbell, Rundle...

Before I slag him off I wil lsay I think Cooper seems like a manager who knows what he is doing at this level and has assembled you a good non-league level squad who I think will be top 5 this year...BUT when will he stop twisting about other teams budgets and missing out on players, he was at it a...

:lol: :lol: :lol: You two fuckwits are like Stadtler and Waldorf! :lol: The G A P has never been wider, as you know. You are a NON-LEAGUE team, as you know, and we are assembling a squad of players beyond your wildest dreams, as you know. Enjoy Alfreton! :silent: You're not assembling a squad any m...

Thats the refreshing thing about this close season, there's been a real emphasis on quality. I'm delighted with the 4 signings we have made, and with only a goalkeeper and possibly a midfielder to look for we can maybe sit back and not panic ourselves with trying rebuild an entire squad, as we've ha...

Haha good spot. That was taken straight from the FA's website, so blame them

He's just bored as the Chimp Chokers aren't signing anyone else, so he has to come on here to look at our rumours instead. Really? But they were poor last season and they've only signed an over-the-hill winger, a striker who Akpo Sodje kept out of the team, and an untried youth. Or have I missed th...

Mate at work is a county fan - he was telling me it's a german consortium who've taken over so they have a few quid to spend - total contrast to a few weeks ago when I think they had 5 players left on their books following relegation. Depending on who they bring in, they could be dark horses for a ...

Strange one that. Lowe scored nearly 30 goals in League 2 last season. He must be in a row over his contract. Even if he did leave Bury, I can't see him dropping to non league level, there'd by a whole host of league clubs who'd chase him.

What's happening with him? Has he definitely signed a contract for next season, or are we waiting to see how he recovers from his injury?

Goalkeepers: Russell Defenders: Arnison, Miller, Lee, Brown, Gray, Quinn, G.Taylor (can also play midfield) Midfielders: Bridge-Wilkinson, Chandler, K.Taylor, McReady, Rundle(can also play as a forward), Brough???(can also play defence) Strikers: Hatch, Walshaw, Campbell, Wright, M.Smith Definitely ...

Not a bad first 6 games. Braintree is just about the perfect 1st day fixture and if there's any time to play a Fleetwood side thrown together, its right at the start of the season. With Tamworth and Grimsby away and Alfreton and Lincoln at home in the 1st 6 games, thats not a bad start at all. Good...

you can all howl, seethe and nash your teeth til the cows come home, but it doesn't alter the fact that one of our clubs lurches from financial crisis to financial crisis, can't fill its stadium beyond about 5% of its capacity, and will undoubtedly be subject to more speculation as to whether it wi...

embarrassing that we have stable, IDENTIFIABLE owners who are prepared to take a sizeable financial hit to show their support for the club and its fans, and attempt to boost attendances :?: do you think before you post, ballbag ? oh, and the 'no ifs or buts' bit doesn't make it a fact, FACT ;) You ...
