Darlo Uncovered

The Tyne tunnel is not an issue any more since they took away the toll booths.
I’m hoping both Blyth and Farsley survive due to Rushall getting the push due to the lack of completed ground improvements

I'm amazed main is playing in this league, and that York let him go. He really is outstanding at our level. I know there were a lot of individual factors in our survival, but he is a big one.

Probably his goal return isn’t good enough for a striker at a higher level?

I thought away teams at this level were entitled to 20% of the capacity?

No such rule unless its for cup ties.

Brilliant performance today, we made an in form side look very ordinary. Never heard the MOTM or crowd announced as per usual. But in my humble opinion I thought Tom Platt was immense and deserved MOTM, although Cedric Main was terrific as well. Crowd looked around 1800, hopefully we'll get over 20...

I don’t want Blyth to go down,or Farsley for that matter, but after the way some of the Blyth fans were going on when we were dead certs for the drop would serve them right!

Just on the topic of Warrington players becoming a bit heated. Their keeper and one of the defenders were having a very heated argument at the end of the first half. A few choice words exchanged and team mates had to separate them. With regards to their keeper, hes impressed me both times we have p...

Darlington Town got a grant that went towards the cost of the new facility and have the right to play there but as far as I am aware, its not their ground. My understanding is that the Football Foundation grant was awarded to Darlington Borough Council (as landlord and project promoter) and this wa...

Player of the season - Kallum Griffiths Best young player of the season (u23) - Matty Young Best signing - Cedric Main Most improved - Kallum Griffiths Mr consistent - Tom Platt Bet Kallum Grffiths never thought he'd be most improved at 35. To be honest, I didn't realise he was that old! Most impro...

I honestly hope the bloke gets another chance and proves everyone wrong. There is no doubt that a fit Asante can be a massive asset to the club.
Getting on his back does no good whatsoever despite the fact he hasn't proven his worth yet.

Aidan is only 1 inch shorter than Mark Beck, but hope he can score as many goals as Beck. It will give us a new attacking option, missing since Beck left.

1" makes all the difference so they say

Anyone see/hear what went off with their player Clarke? The lads had words through first half with an Darlo fan on the far side and it looked like at the end of game the Darlo fan tried to shake his hand but he refused. Apparently some old bloke told a Darlo player to "bite his legs" no doubt a ref...

Plenty of nice comments coming from Warrington fans post match, best fans, great performance etc...

Am I right in thinking that the Leamington ground will be all seater (unclear from the plans)? I think we would need to preserve terrracing in any future stadium (and possibly half time migration), i would imagine that would cut the cost too. One big stand, and 3 tin sheds would be sufficient for o...

How about having worked as a football secretary and having had to mark refs week after week for years and having to try to remove the club bias? Been there done that albeit at a lower level. If a ref made a horrendous decision I would mark him down but wouldn’t be daft about it either, if in genera...

For me it was the way the linesman reacted that makes it worse, he was adamant it wasn’t a goal, waving his hand and shaking his head like a demented baboon. He is always shite when he runs the line when I’ve seen him.

You’re making excuses for them.
If I had been that ref today having had the week he’s had and he sees that photo of the ball clearly over the line I’d be having a pop at the assistant for keeping him in the spotlight with another poor call.

Stop digging your hole Lo, twice in a week now you defend the indefensible.

What about officials and their lack of ability? Fuxk sake, that’s two blatant goals disallowed in one week and the refs lickspittle defender is on here making every excuse under the sun for some absolute shite officiating. Oh and by the way, if the club does go down then there’s the potential loss o...

The photograph shows the ball in its entirety well over the line by several inches so it is not 'just' over the line, and you fail to consider that the photograph shows this at a point before the defender's boot has made contact with the ball, which suggests that the ball would travel even further ...

We had been more than holding our own and causing them problems. We have every right to feel aggrieved that the officials couldn't come to the correct decision an...

It’s a decision of very small margins, the officials have to be completely sure the ball has crossed the line so it’s no surprise the goal wasn’t given. It incorrect isn't it - but this summarises it. Small margins. The photo shows the whole ball is only just over the line. In real time it would be...

4 cup finals I now think we need 2 wins and a draw at the very least.today was a linesmen who made a dreadful decision against us the poor refereeing was another factor how he book four Darlington players and not one of Chorley beggars belief.however Chorley took advantage of our poor defending.the...

To be fair you can’t blame the ref for that decision, the linesman is totally at fault. He’s crap every time we have him.

Game over. Season over most likely and a 'derby' against Stockton next season. We've turned into rst s*** again. Bugger.

Rubbish.
Still plenty to play for. If we go one up as we should have then it’s a different game. Screwed over by an inept linesman
