The Dart(s) Board

I would never criticise Rod Stringer's passion for football and the way things have been going for us at Dartford give him a chance at Princes park. Now that would be brave or desperate!

Welling bring back Rod Stringer as their interim manager, now that's brave or desperate !

Brilliant Spike, love that Alien and with his large forehead what a centre forward he'd make deadly in the air.

Whitstable Town flying under Jamie Coyle after last season's FA Vase victory now doing well in the FA Cup, last night beating Chichester 1-0 now home to Hungerford in 3rd Qualifying Rd. Shame Jamie couldn't do it for us when he was joint manager.

Luke Wanadio scores 2 goals against Whitstable in yesterdays FA cup for Dulwich then gets sent off before half time and Whitstable go on to win 3-2.

Sittingbourne who finished 2nd in the South East Div on 101 points and scored 117 goals with only 29 against were beaten on pens in yesterdays play-off Final by Burgess Hill. Now that is cruel.

Ben Greenhaigh's Margate team beaten 2-0 by Burgess Hill in last nights Isthmian South East playoff semi-final. Burgess Hill now go to Sittingbourne for the Final.

I did something yesterday I've never done in the long years I've supported Dartford I left at half time and went home, after their second goal just before the break it was game over. They looked a much better team than us, Samir is obviously playing on an injury and should have been rested yesterday ...

The last play-off place is between Chichester and Dover and by a strange coincidence both teams meet at Chichester today, Dover's goal difference is much better so a draw would get them 5th place.

In the hope we don't need to know according to the isthmian website the play off dates are Semi-finals Wed 30th April and the Final on Bank holiday Monday 5th May. I assume highest placed finish in the League get Home advantage.

Sadly we lost the title not yesterday but a couple of weeks ago when we could only draw with bloody Folkestone. I hope we can beat Carshalton next Saturday and go into the playoffs on a winning roll because I can't see Billericay and Horsham dropping points to Cheshunt and Hashtag though we can pray ...

First half they did a good job on us, but second half we gave the cheating skanks a battering. I'm surprised Ade didn't send on our subs earlier the game was there to be won. Looking at the highlights the disallowed goal in a crowded box was close did the linesman simply guess. Thankfully Tom Bonner ...

Yes on the way home from the game I was listening to Radio Kent who said it would be a new record in Dartford 's 100plus year history if we beat Chichester 11 wins on the spin?

Happy days are here again, best performance for a very long time and a very good atmosphere from the crowd. I only hope the players who went off were not badly injured, but the players who replaced them did an excellent job.

Ryan Hayes now at Ashford utd ?

Amazing on the eve of Hednesford's biggest game for years in the FA Cup, What could he have done to get sacked with immediate effect.

I will go today more in hope than judgement, I went to Cray Valley at the start of the season when we just edged them out. I expect they will raise their game at Princes Park and it will be another close result.

Ben Allen scores for Margate last night. I know its a level below but they seem to rate him.

Watching us get overrun in the first half was painful, was it that long ago we were beating Wrexham, Mansfield and Luton at Princes Park now we're getting turned over by Potters Bar, Bowers & pitsea and Wingate, I bet Cray valley can't wait to pay us a visit. I know we are not Real Madrid or Man ...

Did Ben Allen really get a chance being sent on for the last 5-10 minutes, reminds me of Dan Roberts and going further back Jack Barham who went on to score goals for Maidstone. Only time will tell.
