Re: John Stevens Home Player of the Year voting

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.

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024

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...

Re: The state of Dartford football club

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...

Re: Last 10 games

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...

Re: The state of Dartford football club

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).

Dan Roberts has just scored to put Yeovil’s celebrations on hold!

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024

Unlikely, but Yeovil could be crowned champions tomorrow if they win at Weymouth and Chelmsford lose at Dover. The Glovers are sure to have the title sewn up by the time we visit next Saturday.

Anyone can make mistakes Spike. On the BBC at 7.30am today on the TV it was announced that Oxford had won the boat race. It wasn't until 8am that they apologised for the error.

Re: Dartford v Eastbourne Borough Mon 1 Apr 2024

Someone said this game wasn’t a must win. It absolutely 100% is. We won’t gain any places in the table whatever happens, but may very well slip down to 22nd if we lose. We have almost a full squad to chose from, so have a realistic chance at home against fellow strugglers. Looking at the table, it’s...

Re: Last 10 games

Had us down for three points at this stage - we’ve managed two. Monday’s game I predicted a win which feels very ambitious. Truro have surely saved themselves as they now look for about 5 points from ten games whilst we need about 10 points from five games (title winning form). Dover have gone today...

Re: Chelmsford City v Dartford Fri 29 Mar 2024

I think they do care….it’s just NONE of them are good enough for Dartford fc or this league! It’s a simple equation much as football is a simple game! Quite right. I highlighted a couple of weeks ago the very frequent conflicting posts about player effort vs. apathy. Our team are likely trying just...

Re: Chelmsford City v Dartford Fri 29 Mar 2024

Just woke from a dream in which we were playing Deal Town (and went 0-1 up!) in a church hall, where the ‘game’ consisted of some ‘players’ sitting in a circle, pushing cars around with one finger, shunting a ping pong ball and making ‘brrrrrr’ noises. God we need to stay up. A win here today would ...

If this is a team fighting for survival then put the white flags up now. Woeful,no other word for it. The new lad up top is miles off what’s needed, and as for coulson. Not really a team, is it? A group of individuals - some that have been here for a while, some of which have got a few games under ...

Massive props to all you hardy souls.
I remember playing Gloucester at Evesham on a Tuesday night but our situation was very different and it was a joy to be there.

Re: Last 10 games

Verily, the meagre prediction for our last ten games has already gone wrong for the worse. Perhaps instead of eight points, two points is more realistic. It’s strange, because to me our team doesn’t look that bad, but maybe it goes to show what a wretched habit losing can be. Big fish in little pond...

Re: Dartford v Hemel Hempstead Town Sat 23 Mar 2024

Today really is the decider. Failure to win at home against a team in total free fall after losing twelve out of fifteen games says to me no way back. In fairness, this time last year we did all we could to finish outside of the playoffs and still came second, so hopefully our relegation push gets ...
