Re: Steve King

Its no big surprise that SK has gone. We all know that he very rarely if ever stays at any club longer than 2 or 3 seasons usually leaving some sort of stink behind him. He pretty much always brings good times to the playing field whilst upsetting the clubs board members. He has been making a very ...

Re: Steve King

I've often wondered what inspires someone to light a flare at a football match. Is it that they feel neglected in their everyday lives and derive some sort of comfort from the ensuing attention or is it that they just like looking at the pretty clouds of smoke? I've given it a lot of thought and do...

Re: Who do the real Dartford Fans want as the new Manager ?

Well assuming I qualify as one of the "real Dartford fans" ... Even though I don't for one minute believe UpTheDarts is a genuine Dartford supporter or have any confidence that what he types is his real opinion, his latest attempt at gaining credibility I do actually agree with. There is a...

Re: Steve King

Crikey, catching up on all these posts took a while. I must admit I was stunned when I first heard this news, but the more I thought about it, the less surprising it actually seemed. There is no doubt that Kingy is the best manager we have EVER had when it comes to sourcing players. The overall qual...

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Thu 12 May 2022 19:45

I'm quite happy to argue different opinions with people who do genuinely support the club (Up The Darts). That, after all is the whole point of a forum. The one thing that really hacks me off though, is when people start whinging about not being allowed to comment without being "jumped on"...

Steve I did know we had qualified, the post was Tongue in cheek..... I have not been to any games since the start of the season. Sorry Eagle. Nobody's going to buy that.

Re: Eastbourne v Dartford Sat 7 May 2022

I'm still thoroughly p***ed off but hopefully that will have passed by next Saturday morning. I wonder if we're still going full tilt for this one (in the hope that Chelmo nick at least a point) or whether we'll be holding back with one eye on the midweek play-off. I felt our downfall in the Braintr...

I am gobsmacked Duke. Wilks is player of the season by a country mile and Marcus has scored 11 in 13. And Wilks hasn't even played for a few weeks.

Re: Dartford v Braintree Town Mon 2 May 2022

Oh dear, I seem to have rubbed M1 up the wrong way AGAIN. I get that Bonner is/was a good player but he's now half a yard off the pace and I did question him being at PP at the start of the season. He does take the Captaincy too far in my opinion, continually facing up to the referee when there's n...

Re: Dartford v Braintree Town Mon 2 May 2022

Well whatever happens now, our first play-off game is going to be at home, either in one of the two quarter-finals or the semis. Two wins over Braintree and Eastbourne would guarantee us third place and one less hurdle to promotion. We have to assume Ebbsfleet will win their remaining two games so t...

Re: Slough Town v Dartford Sat 30 Apr 2022

Wow, can't argue with that. A strange game because Slough caused more than a few problems and had 3 or 4 very good chances but we defended brilliantly and up front we were on fire. There was plenty of goalmouth action and it could easily have finished 10-4. Great team performance with lots of conten...

Well we only played for half an hour but it was still enough to beat Welling LOL. Darts were awful in the first half but showed massive improvement in the second.

Re: Dartford v St Albans City Sat 23 Apr 2022

A comfortable win against a St Albans team that offered little resistance. Murtagh undoubtedly earning MOTM. Third place still up for grabs. It's a strange situation when results wise, Kingy's reign has been 90% successful, we have consistently been up or around the top of the table, seen a vast arr...

Re: Dartford v Maidstone Mon 18 Apr 2022

Woeful performance unfortunately. Nobody comes out of that positively apart from Wilks. Maidstone won every first and second ball, they simply wanted it more. No end product from any of the attacking players and our midfield was non existent. Will be very lucky to go up as we look like a mid table ...
