Re: Away Shirt Vote
Isn't the purple Quality Street the one with smooth chocolate outside, runny toffee middle and a nut at the centre? Very apt & may be we could get in a new sponsor - Nestlé or Purplebricks

Re: Nice bit of trivia
When was the last time DarloFC fielded an all English team?

Re: Scott Barrow
Surely we have a clause in Sukar's loan that allows him to be recalled when we have a defence crisis?

Re: Curzon V Darlington
Finally got some attacking spirit back in the team with players prepared to go forward instead of the side to side passing game. Lots more chances were created and eventually 3 converted. Whilst Will's rocket is arguably the Goal of the Season, Lees did give our confidence a boost at a vital time th...

Re: Darlington v Buxton
For a long time looked like Buxton would benefit from a stupid mix-up of an OG but eventually with a couple of decent & timely subs, more attacking & forward passes, we were richly rewarded with 2 late goals to give us a glimmer of hope + 3 vital points.

Re: Darlington v Buxton
Looking at the injured list, surely Sukar must be recalled. Having a young GK playing behind a scratch defence does not bode well, yet it is another game that we must win to have any chance of avoiding relegation.

Re: Reset
Perhaps Ben Houchen, Corney, Musgrave et al may be looking for a club like us to invest some of the profits from STDC and a new community stadium somewhere up Skerningham? Downside, we would probably have to change our name to Darlo Tees Valley playing at the Gibson Ground.

Could have been so different if we had taken the chances we had in first 5mns, but FACT we didn't. Add in yet another poor set of officials and a side who tugged shirts, pushed & pulled, stole 10 yards every throw, simulated injury & timewasted at every opportunity and there was a poor game & poorer...

Re: Blue card & sin bins
Tommy Taylor has been posting about this on Twitter, wondering what would happen if a keeper got binned for 10 minutes. Does an outfielder have to go in goal, or would there be a temporary substitution so a sub keeper could come on (if you had one) and an outfield player go off for the bin period. ...

Blue card & sin bins
The proposed introduction of a 3rd card will make referrees' role harder, but the idea of a sin bin is an improvement. If a player gets a yellow card, there is little enough benefit to the opposition, however a 10mn cooling off for the player & penalty of having 10 v 11 would be a better deterrent. ...

Re: Darlington v Alfreton 10/02/24
According to the club website there will be a precautionary pitch inspection on Saturday morning. Surely there is either an inspection or there isn’t, the word precautionary is a complete red herring. If you are examining the pitch to see if it is playable, then that constitutes a pitch inspection ...

One step forward, two steps back. Couple of the lads looked leggy & some failed to turn in any effort but Platt, Main, Curry & Cornish put a shift in. More points dropped & a game in hand wasted.

Quite suprised that Scarborough wanted to take him, perhaps they are short on defenders. I know some on here rate him, and I would agree he gives 100% but for me his distribution is really poor. Barrow looks a far more accomplished left back and Siddick a better left sided central defender. Spot on...
