Darlo Uncovered

Chris Brass. As own goals go, a worldie!

Difference between part-time and full-time today. Gateshead were always going to be a strong and fit squad, we just can't compete consistently with a side like this. We gave it a go but as others have said it seems like once Wheater went off we were struggling defensively. I'm going to say it once ...

No, give me falling over when accidentally breathed on, rolling around at every tackle, every foul resulting in wild appeals for a booking/sending off, bear hugs at every corner, any day. You do realise players in the 70s did all these things? Cheating to gain an advantage has been part of football...

Probably the wrong comment from me so hold my hands up, just frustrated with this season and a bad work day yesterday. Fair play to you. We all say/do things in frustration. At least you're not like a certain poster on Facebook who didn't like the team AA picked and still thought it was wrong (ie. ...

Not sure I’ll be doing BTB after this move, really disappointed will express by view from the ground tonight if I meet any directors.

Words fail me!

Just wait and see what Ukraine think when he tells them it was a loan and wants it repaying.

Yes it was 4 nil. He's a referee and therefore always right.

Correct. I didn't think I'd need to dumb it down that low.

Rearrange the words prick, devious and cunning and you get the idea.

I see Kevan Smith's made his feelings known on the tin Shed. Ouch!

Footifan sadly passed away today. Whether you agreed with his opinions or not there's no doubt he loved Darlo. His Texan friends contributed some funds to the cause. Knowing him, whether they wanted to or not. RIP.

Nothing I suppose but why make a point?

Brackley 6/1 to win. Had a cheeky quid before I new they were down to 10. Doh!

I understand that it's a wedding that was booked prior to the fixtures coming out but I agree the timing is piss poor. Not least by the bride and groom. I mean who gets married on the first day of the season? Must be an egg chaser.

I think the Spurs fan's behaviour says a lot about him as a person.

There's banter but taking pleasure in the demise of a local football club would tell me that he seems like a complete merchant banker.

See what he's like when City sign Harry Kane. Won't be laughing then.

Fair play. You've owned me there. You're still a bellend though.

Nice to see that Spen still has 2 faces and thick skin after being called out for his Twitter comments by Gramps a week ago. Christ what a first class bellend he really is.

Nice of the Northern Echo to do an article about beating last year's total and giving constant encouragement over the last few weeks for Darlington residents to support their local club. Oh hang on...

Does anyone recall a game against Huddersfield in the early 70s (about 73/74) where at the wall at the Polam Lane collapsed? I think the game ended 2-2. The thing is I can't remember if a) I was there and witnessed it, b) saw on Shoot the day later or c) dreamt the whole thing. I think it was a) as ...

Caretaker manager of Sheffield United.

Is he the first ex darlo player to manage in the Premier League?

There could be somebody obvious but as I'm on to the second bottle of wine and can't be arsed to check, I don't know.

I also think he's got the most Lancashire/Yorkshire surname in the world.

I’m no legal expert but what I do know is that the legal profession is very adept at constructing sentences and the use of language, especially in the spelling department. Spen is not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You want me to write message board posts in legalease? Happy to do so, but most...

For referees, read control freaks.

First chance I've had to see Wheatley's booking. Given it was a Darlo player and the comments I've read so far, I was expecting it to be a borderline booking. Not even a borderline foul. If our resident referees' friend wants defend the decision, or at least justify it, that's his call but he's star...

So Spennymoor come out with a good statement about not wanting to play and now they're untouchable?

Anyone else notice the hypocrisy in accusing someone of having a pop and then calling them a knob all in the same sentence?

The new kit home and away is an outrage. The sash is completely the wrong way round. It should be left to right. Or is it right to left? Anyway I shall view it as a hooped shirt and if you tilt your head to the left, or is it right, it's 2 big white hoops and 1 small black hoop. Job done. You're wel...

Nice I quite like a Shiraz or a Malbec. By the way not buying your transparent attempt at friendliness. Clearly you overstepped the mark with your comments about Chris Stockdale and the DFCSG Board and you are now trying to pass it off as humour. Yes you are correct I do not miss a chance to get st...

1 & 2 are awful.

4 is a bit, well I don't know. It might grow on me.

I actually like 3.

Tin hat on but I've never liked hoops. Particularly hooped socks.

Bit too rugby for my liking.

I think Gramps is right though. It does look a bit loaded.

This thread is grim. People melodramatically twisting on about nothing.

We haven’t even got to the Hoops v Non-Hoops debate yet.

Give it time. Ted's already had his say on Facebook.

I'm intrigued by the trained pitch snow removers thing. Is there a qualification you can get? NVQ maybe? Should we as a club look to invest in employing some? Perhaps an apprentice scheme starting with sweeping slush off paths before being given a small snow shovel to clear the stuff that's strayed ...

Spennymoor is covered in snow and no chance of melting with current climate If you had a decent sized fan base you could ask for volunteers to clear any snow off the pitch. Yer 200 less than Darlington, not a good idea to ask fans with shovels to possibly take chunks out of one of the best playing ...
