Darlo Uncovered

Why are people expecting our young players to be world beaters? No players is going to find it easy to step up from the youth team. As previously said, they need time to develop and mature, not discarding because they're not getting hat tricks every week. But then that sums up football nowadays, no-...

Their keeper sounds as if he's playing out of his skin in the last 20 minutes or so, 2 great saves

Nearly, so very nearly from MBW

The phrase rhymes with clucking bell

It was another case of 2 points dropped rather than 1 point gained for Quakers on Saturday, as once again they conceded a stoppage time leveller, this time at Forest Green, denying them points which could be pivotal come the end of the season. Nevertheless, Darlo, on a fine run of 3 wins and a draw ...

Cheers Gramps - doesn't look too good then. As I've stated before, I've had a soft spot for Darlo since the 70s but found your site a few years ago when the mysterious Ted Forster was conning you all (well, most of you) by pretending that he was offering to buy the club after the Reynolds disaster....

Plymouth aren't in administration yet, although it seems very likely it will happen. Its down to them spending a lot to get into the Premier League, thinking they would be bankrolled by some Japanese tycoon whose business interests include the Far East equivalent of crap Cola. One problem, this busi...

Yeah he is, best teacher there as well

One detail I'm not sure on, why did Houghton take out the loan in the first place? Were things already going up the shitter in 2007?

They're carehome tycoons from whom our previous chairman, the money grabbing arsehole George Houghton, took out a £1.7 million loan from in 2007. Houghton was meant to pay that money back recently, but didn't, so Raj has tried to re-negotitate the loan. Raj had the land revalued at about £400,000 an...

I don't think that its that we're not good enough-we have the quality within the squad to be firmly sat in the play-offs. But there's a mentality issue meaning we thorw away points

We would be nailed on for the play-offs if we didn't throw away these points late on. Bath- 2 points thrown away Wrexham (H)- 1 point Wrexham (A)- 1 point Tamworth 2 points Forest Green- 2 points 8 points given away in the last 5 minutes of matches But - Altrincham 1 point Mansfield 1 point Southpo...

Yes but didn't we just concede a late equaliser once again?

Total sickener. This isn't just bad luck now, it's an endemic problem we have away from home. Can you imagine us in a leading position away in the playoffs or in the trophy semi finals? I'd probably just walk out of there, not sure I could take seeing the inevitable. Once, maybe twice in a season, ...

Bath- 2 points thrown away
Wrexham (H)- 1 point
Wrexham (A)- 1 point
Tamworth 2 points
Forest Green- 2 points

8 points given away in the last 5 minutes of matches

G Smith scored last tues

Michael Smith's last start was against Barrow, where he scored our opener

Ray: Darlington look in control

NO!!!!

Please can he stop going on about us chucking points away from these positions

Darlington 1-0 up away from home. Time for the nerves to start jangling again...

Wrexham 2-5 Gateshead-surely not???

We probably will send him back, considering that we also have Hatch, Campbell, Smith, Main, Senior and Wright, once the first 2 have returned.

No point in having 7 strikers

Tommy has been useless this season, can't see why people would want him to start.

'twas Mr Jackson - remember him? Of course! Another one who's class I was never in mind. I wonder if Mr Hughes is still there? Great guy, but called me Craig for 5 years! Do you remember Mr Jackson having a thick bushy moustache? Because he shaved it off a year before I left. It just didn't look ri...

Depends when you went there. Hunter the geography teacher is still there, been there for over 30 years I think Yeah, I remember Mr Hunter, although I never had Geography with him. It's amzing how long some of them stick it out in the same place, one or two of the teachers (Mr Blenkin and Mr Rumney ...

one of the teachers still working there from my time I wonder which of the old teachers are still there? I have a hard time thinking of the Education Village as still being Haughton, if I'm honest. Depends when you went there. Hunter the geography teacher is still there, been there for over 30 year...

They might have bought the original photo's and either scanned them into the computer or they've taken a photo of the photo and added it onto Facebook :thumbup: Yeah am just wondering if the school would have kept the old ones, maybe give em a ring tomorrow when i'm not tied up with government work...

Before we all sink into an irreversable state of total depression, (I fear it is already too late for some), I need to say this. The distrurbing events off the field this week have detracted from the great work being done on it. Putting aside the obvious negative vibes that this post might (will) g...

Can someone just help this guy out?

Well said. And I have helped him out

Buy the land, put the white elephant to sleep, give the land back to th...

Nice idea, shame it was ruined by the cock doing the hand gesture of a plane crash. Still at least he got what he deserved in the end

Maybe this has been said in another thread but I've found this on the BBC;; Meanwhile a representative of joint-creditor Philip Scott has reassured the football club they would be welcome to remain tenants at the Arena stadium should Scott and Sizer take hold of the assets from the holding company. ...
