The Dart(s) Board

Every season, one or two teams get a good result and their fans will say “that’s the worst Dartford side I’ve seen for ages / ever seen”. Of course, it’s fine to say these things, but the chances are that we will have had an off day and / or the other side has turned up and played a blinder. This se...

That’s a massive game.

Total walk in the park for Yeovil. They had a slew of chances towards the end, so considering the penalty it was a surprise that they only scored three. It was two sides at least one division apart already. My vote went to Byrne who was excellent. Yes, we put on a bit of pressure for ten minutes as ...

This is nuts. There must be a reason. Never known the bar to be closed during ‘normal’ hours. Covering for the Samaritans?

Game played out pretty much as per my expectations. In fact, I had a feeling that Yeovil were going to win 4/5-0. That being said, I was pretty certain that our fate would only be guaranteed on the final day, the fact that it has come early is testament to the utter shambles that has been DFC in 202...

Slight exaggeration - it’s not as grim as Stanley Park or Luton. Does look a bit nicer in the sun, still not much libation opportunity though. Depends how much you like Wetherspoon really! Found a few fellow Darts out and about, be nice to think we might get 100 here today and hopefully make a game ...

Yeovil is the most desolate place I have ever visited. Well done to them for winning the league. Was hoping to find a town vibrant with celebration, instead it was like 2020. Whatever happens tomorrow, it would be nice to see a few people celebrating around this boarded-up void of despair which make...

Decent answer DoH, we have to then revisit the frivolous comments made in pre-season regarding the zero chance of finishing as high as 2022/23 season. I had some sympathy for AD, but it was compromised by the car-crash interviews and constant unnecessary comments about the b****t. Totally right rega...

Only mitigation there, Tall Dart, is hindsight. If Dowson had stayed until season close and all results had played out the same (unlikely, I grant), we would all be raging that the axe had not been swung earlier. What we don’t know, is how we would have reacted to a mid-table finish if Dowson stayed...

A lot has been said about our failings and individual errors tonight with little consideration of the opposition. Worthing are sitting high in the playoff positions for a reason - they are well organised, skillfull and move the ball around quickly and with purpose. They always had at least one guy ...

Don’t think I’ve ever scrutinised the league table as much.
Every time I look I think it’s going to be less bleak.
Maybe after tonight it will be…

Heard a rumour today that Taunton could be facing a points deduction for fielding an ineligible player and also that Truro could be in the bother for not being able to provide a pitch for next season. The win at Havant on Saturday increased our chances of survival from about 10% to about 20%. I’d sa...

Questions rising from their post-match interview: 1:30 Former Hawk Joash Nembhard controversially pull us level. 4:30 We can only do what we can do and hope everything goes against us. I realise I’m a nit-picking pedant at the best of times, but could there be some sabotage from within!? Great day o...

Posting this here as opposed to “Social Events” as it isn’t official DFC doings. In honour of Ray Pennell’s death last year, “Rayfest” will be taking place at the Growler Stop (bottom of West Hill, Dartford) on Saturday 27th April. Local band The Gambler are to showcase the day, interspersed with ot...

In honour of Ray Pennell’s death last year, “Rayfest” will be taking place at the Growler Stop (bottom of West Hill, Dartford) on Saturday 27th April. Local band The Gambler are to showcase the day, interspersed with other acts. There will be a good few faces from DFC there and the wretched 23/24 se...

Park Life notched an impressive 39 MOTM votes in one game.

To put this into perspective, Archie Woods and Paul Rooney managed 80 each, while our captain and shoe-in POTS Luke Coulson has garnered just 144, which is 3-4 per game.

Fair play to Parky.

Unusually, I have just watched the highlights. I believe that the challenge that put Block out of the match would normally have been worthy of a yellow card, but this ref and the linesman saw nothing wrong with it and no free kick was given. They also both saw nothing wrong with the blatent handbal...

Agree with a good bit of what Dave T says there. I reckon Steve King was a good ambitious appointment, turning around the mess made by Coyle / Flanagan admirably and steering us from relegation fodder to playoffs. He lost some of the fans and some of the dressing room along the way, but his ruthless...

Game 6 of the last ten and we’ve amassed two points against my predicted four. For the final four games, I predicted losses against Havant & Yeovil, a draw against Worthing and a win against Truro. Sadly, a review of this seems like we have less chance of scoring a goal than we do of getting any...

Let’s face it, DFC as we are at present are incapable of scoring any goals, so a random fans XI could be picked out to play our first team and a draw would be a disappointing result (for the fans).
