Dorking away 04.01.20 match thread

Scoring in stoppage time to sneak the win was all the sweeter for their having nicked all 3 points off us at our place. Any question marks over the two pens?

This referee was awful especially in the first half and gave us very little else bar the penalty which Darren scored from but he let foul after foul against us go unpunished and seemed intent on crippling Elliot and trying to gode him in to retaliation.
Second half he got his own back to score but then we failed to retain possession enough and Dorking took their chances to equalise but the referee made sure we got the points awarding the late penalty which Darren made sure of and we deserved the win the game.
As I have criticised the referee I won't comment on his actions in awarding the penalties and will take them as they come because their flood lighting was so bad you had a job to see much.

A good away win against a good side. Main highlight Dorking's second goal. Runner up and very close second, their number 4 being carried off.
His mission to end Elliot Romain's season coming to an abrupt end within minutes of the restart.

If I remember correctly, Dorking were a very dirty side when we played them at home earlier in the season. Seems like nothing has changed from reading from those in attendance. Makes the 3 points even sweeter!

We didn't "sneak the win", we bloody well earned it. Dorking were a nasty, cynical side who had clearly targeted Elliott Romain as they took turns to foul him for most of the first half. They complained about everything and were constantly in the referee's face. Darts did very well to maintain their discipline in the face of constant provocation. It would have been a criminal injustice if we hadn't won and the two penalties were nailed on. Despite that, I would say the referee was the worst I've seen this season and had little control. When we went 2-0 up I thought we had it in the bag but surprise, surprise, Dorking suddenly developed an interest in kicking the football and fought back to 2-2. They didn't deserve it and we felt seriously aggrieved as Darts were by far the better side overall and deserved the win. I cannot describe just how sweet it felt when my MOTM Darren McQueen smashed home the winning penalty. It was wonderful, a triumph of justice over sh*thousery. Fantastic scenes at the end as the 300+ Darts fans celebrated with the players. Gentlemen, we are rocking and rolling.

I don't like to see players get injured but he was an outright thug and that was karma.

Great Result Darts. Glad that they got their comeuppance, all they did at our place was keep falling over and rolling about, remember I felt like walking out at the time, it wasn't football to much play acting.

Fantastic result and fight back today, SK has been a massive breath of fresh air for the Darts and has brought life back in to the team, this club and even more so the fans.

Elliott Romain & Darren McQueen are both on absolute fire at the moment, I only hope we can keep hold of both of them come the end of the season.

I love it.

Where to start on this one .. Firstly we were superb again but after 4 games in 10 days there were a few tired legs out there which is to be expected . That made todays performance even better , we fought for everything against a really nasty Dorking team . They were pushing and grabbing shirts continuously and the Ref just let them do it. They must of been told to go after Elliott as they were trying to kick him off the park, their number 4 was the main culprit until he was fouled by his own player and carried off
If anyone thinks our floodlights are bad they are like the Blackpool illuminations compared to Dorking's. May as well stood in each corner with a zippo lighter , it would have been brighter !!!!

So what joy when we scored deep into injury time , so pleased to beat that horrible muggy team with shitty tatics . Bloody well enjoy the goals
