Re: Sad News - John Hoverd RIP
John supported Dartford football club avidly for over 75 years. He passed away during half time in the Ellenor Hospice as Dartford were beating Maidstone to stay top of the league table - that's how he would have wanted it. He enriched and indeed enhanced my watching and supporting Dartford in his own inimitable style and I shall miss my friend.

Re: Hungerford Town (A) - Mon 26/8
Actually that was all I was saying.spike wrote: ↑Thu Aug 29, 2019 4:31 pmYes, and that by itself is a very valid point with which I wholeheartedly agree, but that wasn't ALL Iris was saying. Whether or not people cheered them on when they were playing for us has absolutely no relevance to whether or not they are doing a good job now. Having some credit in the popularity bank may buy you some extra time, but they surely used that up when they got reappointed for another term after last year's spectacular end of season collapse. Indeed many would argue that they only ever got the job in the first place because of their past achievements as players.
I'm all in favour of being constructive, articulate and considerate, but I would add relevant to that list.
I acknowledge that the current management of Dartford has been poor. I also agree that AF and JC's previous records have no relevance in assessing how well they are doing the job.
My referral to their past records was simply to highlight how some chaps are very fickle and infantile in their comments. Their popularity may have declined but does that warrant disrespect and abuse?
I believe it is unnecessary and does not advance any meaningful dialogue.

Re: Hungerford Town (A) - Mon 26/8
Do you think that referring to two respected ex Dartford players as 'clowns' constitutes expressing an opinion ?UpTheDarts wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 8:21 pmI've put numerous positive posts on here, it's a shame people only pick up on my 'negative' onesBANANA BANANA wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 2:14 pmI would be surprised if up the Darts is even a Dartford fan.Ozymandias wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 10:33 am I am surprised Arty hasn't joined the conflab already, what with all the negativity on here at the moment.
But still.
I don't think that 'Up the Darts' has ever put a positive post on here, but even the 'old guard' are beginning to have doubts now.
Gilsey was there and has Nobes playing alongside Luke Adams???
Braintree wasn't a great performance and I did wonder if we were going to get anything at Hungerford. Saturday we have HH and the following one Dorking at home. Ouch.
Many said that August alone would sort out our season. Well, if it's anything to go by.......watch this space. Disappointed with yesterdays score, but not surprised.
Banana Banana you're an idiot. EVERY single comment I make you decide to make a snide remark on. Even when you see my name mentioned you take a dig at me.
A forum is a place to post my opinion, clearly I'm not allowed to do that here so maybe i'll never post again
I would suggest that it is a puerile insult which some might consider emanates from an obnoxious persona.
Did you cheer on Jamie Coyle when he helped Dartford Football Club gain promotion from the Rymans North and also Rymans Premier leagues? Did you cheer on Adam Flanagan as he led Dartford Football Club, as captain, to promotion from the Rymans Premier league. Did you support Dartford then? Please 'upthedarts' carry on posting but do try and be constructive, articulate and considerate.
