Re: Brackley V Darlington FC
What was the crowd on Saturday?
Re: Brackley V Darlington FC
Have you ever thought of putting the Vanarama National League into your 'Favorites' or
'Bookmarks'. A lot of your questions could be answered there, a lot quicker than posting on here.
Perish the thought you could even add 'Darlington FC' the official site.
Both of which will tell you the gate on Saturday. But I won't.

He wouldn't have such a high post count if he did that.
"At a meeting held at the Grammar School on Friday last - Mr Phillip Wood M.A., in the chair - it was resolved to form an Association Football Club for Darlington and neighbourhood. The opinions of those present were so unanimous as to the desirability of this step, that a committee was formed to complete the organisation of the club, and Mr Craven, 17, Garden Street, was appointed secretary pro tem." - The Northern Echo, Monday 23rd July 1883

Come on Pete, make an effort.
Re: Brackley V Darlington FC
Having watched the highlights I don't actually think it was a sending off (I'll await the replies).
My reasoning is simply that Harvey wouldn't of gotten to the ball had he been allowed to run, which therefore takes away the 'denying a clear goalscoring opportunity' (if that still exists).
If the same thing happened against us I wouldn't have been happy with a red

Re: Brackley V Darlington FC
Got to say I agree with that as well. Hopefully if Saunders is coached correctly and gets more game time he'll learn the proper channels to run he was certainly going in the wrong direction on this occasionD_F_C wrote:Having watched the highlights I don't actually think it was a sending off (I'll await the replies).

Re: Brackley V Darlington FC
On the highlights there's a defender on the opposite corner of the box. The ref may have thought he could have got there. Thoughts?

Re: Brackley V Darlington FC
Just watched again on highlights after it being right in front of me on the day. My opinion has not changed, defo sending off.Vodka_Vic wrote:On the highlights there's a defender on the opposite corner of the box. The ref may have thought he could have got there. Thoughts?
Re: Brackley V Darlington FC
I agree it looks a sending off to me as I believe Saunders actually went the right way around the defender and would have got the ball. Because Saunders went that way defender caught in two minds, go for the ball or the man. My view of course but would have made the game interesting if ref had made that decision.

Re: Brackley V Darlington FC
I was in the bus shelter behind the goal on Saturday and having watched the highlights it wasn't evident from that vantage point just how good some of our play was. We played some lovely 1-2s and carved Brackley open through the middle a couple of times which we hadn't been doing to teams - we'd been getting goals from the wings. If we keep this up then we'll be a threat through the middle and from the sides. Also, I didn't realise how good that early chance for Harvey was. Reece Styche may well have put that away. Also, what looked like a missed sitter by Galbraith was anything but on Goal Cam, as the defender at the back post was very close to him and if he's headed it down the defender would probably have protected the goal.
If Mills gets fitter/Caton comes back as good as he was for those 2 games before his injury, then we'll be dangerous on the left, with Thommo we'll be dangerous on the right, and if we can add this play through the middle then I think we'll be hard to contain.

Re: Brackley V Darlington FC
Agreed. The video highlights look better than what we could see from the bus shelter. Caton, for me, is the key. With him on the left it gives us a balanced threat from both flanks. Mills actually was more of a threat than I thought he would be. Not a flying winger like Caton or Thommo but a very tricky customer who linked up well with O’Hanlon (who I rate as one of the best left backs we’ve seen in a Darlo shirt). Sadly I thought Saturday was a missed opportunity by Gillies. We needed him to really step up but again he looked to be playing within himself
Re: Brackley V Darlington FC
Criteria for red card 'denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity'...
> Possession (did the attacker have possession of the ball)
> Distance (how far from the goal is the attacker)
> Direction (is he going toward or away from the goal)
It doesn't tick the first box so cannot be a red card.

I dunno, while he's nearby, their defender doesn't actually challenge for the ball. He really has to score for me.Vodka_Vic wrote:I was in the bus shelter behind the goal on Saturday and having watched the highlights it wasn't evident from that vantage point just how good some of our play was.

Agree with others that the 'red card' incident could go either way. They're sometimes do get given, but then i'd maybe be disappointed if one of our defenders walked because of it. Would Harvey have got there? He might have done. We'll never know, i guess.
