The Dart(s) Board

Starting with this game and the rest of the season can we see some of our young players introduced as they can’t do any worse and at least will give their all for 90mins! We are not going down and cannot entertain going up so perfect time to use our youngsters who from what I can gather are pretty ...

I'm really not accustomed to being on this side of the fence, but I can't help feeling that Dowse is having a detrimental effect on our club. It's just constant whinging and whining and excuse after excuse about the budget, plastic pitches, injuries, referees, bad luck and now the latest nonsense is...

Will it be DFC or THE MUGS FC

I like "Mugs FC" and I think we should run with that from now on. It's fitting because, in a way, they chose it themselves.

Don't worry, as usual, Blocky will be back soon and there's new players coming next week..

I fear another souvenir mug is on It's way.

Always

Just listened to Dowse on the radio. It's incredible that it doesn't matter how bad we play or how awful the result, Dowse always finds the words to make it seem even worse. He is delusional.

So who eats the mince pies I leave out then?

I think I said that tongue in cheek, so as to make a point when it didn’t happen. Although I do now know a bit more about why Barzey left. Nevertheless, Dowse's decisions do baffle me and his recruitment has been woeful in my opinion. It's the same revolving door policy that Steve King got slammed f...

Utter s**** today. Not for the first time and certainly not for the last.

Hopefully there will be some sort of follow-up news that will make sense of this decision.

Jeez, talk about inferiority complex.

I wonder if they've got one in the trophy cabinet in their boardroom.

I don't blame their more sensible supporters for being embarrassed.

And only just announced on DFC Twitter but still not on website fixture list. I hope that you're not insinuating that the club website is not being kept up to date!! :roll: Well I've just checked and the club shop are selling highlights of the recent Fleet v Darts match where all 22 were sent off o...

When the interviewers first question is "Gaffer can I take your reaction to this afternoon's defeat at Dartford, it's probably hard to take that the better team didn't win", you already know there's not much point in listening to the rest of the interview.

A thoroughly entertaining game from the Darts perspective, mostly because we were so exciting going forward. Chin and Alexander brought a much welcome energy to the side and we looked threatening every time we advanced. It's true we looked quite vulnerable when Torquay went forward too, particularly...

My understanding is that it just comes down to whatever the clubs agree on. It could be anything from 0% to 100%. It's a shame it's yet another loan deal, but at least it's a season long deal and he does appear to be a decent signing and, more importantly perhaps, a different type to the main four s...

Of course it is ... that's entirely my point.

Sorry if this seems brutal, but I love this club and I think we have to face up to reality. Pre-season was a shambles. Recruitment (last year and this)was a disaster, we have an unbalanced squad with 4 big similar centre-forwards and no wingers to supply them and we have re-signed perennial sick not...
