Re: Dartford v Welling Utd Sat 30 Dec 2023

I listened to the LIVE Match commentary wihich our guy was very neutral and dint dress it up , I did nod of a couple of times as it was f.....g boring with a 4 5 1 line up and Doswe's way of grinding out results [ thats IF we could defend for 97 mins ] I havent been lately and wont be rushing back a...

Re: Dartford Players of The Past

Just watched the Braintree Manager post match comments today and to say he is delighted that Baris is back is an understatement and immediately made him Captain and started todays game , just shows that Dowse's talent in recruiting poor players is on par with his ability to release quality ones , wh...

Re: The spirit of Dartford

I just cannot believe that IF we got rid of Dowse in January with 18 months left on his contract that we would have to come up with the whole 18 months pay in one ago as most Clubs have a clause that says payments stop when the guy got a new job and surely with the number of Financial Men we have on...

Re: Dartford v St Albans City Sat 23 Dec 2023

Havent been recently basically cause we are crap and even with s Season Ticket it aint worth the effort , I.m told our next home game is late January so I guess with our seasons away form we could well be nearer the bottom than the top , I have never wanted Dartford to lose a game but IF Welling wer...

Re: Player news

If we needed any further prof of Dowse losing the lot the Altintop will be [ almost ] not the last player to have had enough o f Dowse [ unless your injured / cant play very week and on £400+ ] bet they stay !!! Altintop played 1 early game at centre back and was binned , a player that got into the ...

Re: Tonbridge Angels v Dartford Sat 16 Dec 2023

I dont it agree that its a revolving door problems its simply that Dowse brought in a number on new recruits plus the injured ones from last season and most are still with us and other than bringing in 2 quality loaneess] has done f...k all to remedy the problem At least 6 of our squad are average p...

Re: Tonbridge Angels v Dartford Sat 16 Dec 2023

Just seen on DFC Twitter that Martin Tylers post match interview has been corrupted [ smart decision by someone ] BUT who really cares what he or Dowse has to say anymore cause they have have lost credibility with the vast majority of the fans and should go !!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Tonbridge Angels v Dartford Sat 16 Dec 2023

22 games in , 13th position and 5pts away from play ofs only due to ALL these other Clubs having huge budgets and playing crap , IF dowse doesnt beat St Albans and Welling twice then I maybe will get my birthday present on 4th January 2024 after all !!!!!!!

Re: Player news

I liked Jack Smith but he is only marginally better than we currently have , Johnson would be a real bonus but he seems to be injury prone , my money is on Jacob Berkley = Aguapong , problem is Dowse doesnt know a good footballer ?????????????/

Paulcanary,- Yeovil probably had an " of day " at Welwyn although Welwyn are a better side than their league position suggest and have a decent Manager , who long term will get it right , I reckon that Welwyn will probably spoil many Darts fans sporting enjoyment over the Xmas/New Year per...

Agree with Rambo's post , they are a quality footballing side who I actually enjoyed watching , we " Guts it out " with our usual style of football being improved with the likes of the 3 newcomers [ no need to mention names !] , hope to God they dont get injured or recalled ?? The 3 new gu...

Re: Dartford Players of The Past

An interview with Adam Flanagan on Dartford fc twitter that is well worth a read , very honest and sums up just what an asset he was to the Darts as a Player , our Roy Keene of the time , last man in the trenches and determines the spirit of Tony Burmans teams of that period I have many great memori...

Re: Player news

I like what he says and look forward to seeing him v Yeovil [ only saw the Torquay highlights] , I dont mind IF he scores all his goals from close in as at least he will be clinical that frankly our other strikers have been pretty poor at this season , some dont even get in the box until its too fki...

Re: Player news

How can you not be impressed with this level headed young man who has bundles of talent and just needs a break and some luck and he will do really well in the higher football league In the meantime hope his loan gets extended to [ at least 3 months] as he would be a major asset to a Darts side that ...

Re: Dartford v Torquay Utd Sat 25 Nov 2023

Took Dowse 18 games to bring in what the fans have been telling him , fancy the difference it makes with quality Goalkeeper , Midfielder and a decent young/fit striker , instead of injured/old journeymen ,probably sorted out by Tony Burman and NOT Dowse and his Geri mate ???? I am delighted that Dar...

Re: Dartford v Braintree Town Tue 21 Nov 2023

I love the idea that you can go into Dowse's office and quietly explain why you think that the comments made by the fans that he has made a cock up of it this season and should listen to the fans viewpoints is laughable as Dowse does NOT believe its his fault and we should be really grateful for his...

Re: Dartford v Braintree Town Tue 21 Nov 2023

I went tonight after being absent for a number of recent home games and despite some enjoyable banter with the [ usual] lads I wish I had stayed at home in the warm . We are currently NOT worth watching and I believe after 17 games that Dowse has lost the plot and a fresh footballing man is needed t...
