Re: Dowson: Defending has to shape up - 09/11/23

Parky , Dowse's interviews obviously upset you and it aint worth it , I dont listen to him anymore as I have no interest in what he has to say !!!

Re: Dartford v Chelmsford City Tue 7 Nov 2023

1st game for me for at least a month and whilst we played some football [ better than the hoofball last time] we as a team are a shambles with very little creativity and whilst Bradbury/Manor ] are both grafters they do not have the class to score the 20 goals every good team needs and with Wall [1 ...

Re: Dartford Players of The Past

Enjoy watching the lads John as they are very good for their age , trouble is virtually none of them over the years have become anywhere near a regular for the Darts 1st team , 2/3 have gone on to play League football but only I we got a fee for so unlike Chelsea who make a lot of money from their A...

Re: Dartford Players of The Past

Not suprised when I watched him in Chatham recent home game v Carshalton he was poor and way out of his depth , just another promising lad from our Academy who hasnt progressed , shame perhaps for the benefit of the the 1st team budget we should transfer cash spent on Academies as sure as hell [ oth...

Re: Hemel Hempstead Town FC v Dartford Sat 28 Oct 2023

Dowse came in last season and inherited a team that he says was NOT his and we after a really good first 5 months of the season then proceeded to stay in the Play offs having had the buffer of the early points gained as our form from January 2023 onwards was average at best with several bloody awful...

Re: Hemel Hempstead Town FC v Dartford Sat 28 Oct 2023

Agreed , much more interesting to talk about whether we are stronger at the back with Beeney than we were with Dan Wilks or possible someone else ??????

Re: Tom Bonner

ALMOST , feel sorry for Tom , no preseason , havent [ no pun] played for 10 weeks and now having to pick which games work will allow him to play , no wonder he is getting sent of as he cannot be no where near match fit and having to play in a poor team , seems a shame that a grand a week may tarnish...

Re: Dartford v Havant and Waterlooville Sat 21 Oct 2023

Two of my favourite players when Jingy was hers were Jebb and Agegypong , reading the comments on Havant have they really become that bad ????

Good win for the Darts but sounds like we might just be on the move up !!!!!

Chatham visit on Saturday 21st October

Went to Chatham to watch them play Carshalton 2nd v 3rd in league and what a really great experience and I would certainly return and I can see why they had a crowd of 1871 , seems like they now reularily get in excess of 1000 I recall Chatham a few years ago as a real " Mickey Mouse Club "...

Re: Hampton & Richmond v Dartford Sat 14 Oct 2023

If Dowse had had a " Motivational Talk Business " he would have gone bust pretty quickly , perhaps he should to listen to Danny Bloor at Welling who is a sensible , no bulls#t Manager who always has a positive view and comes across as a genuine guy , suffice to say the Welling Fans like hi...

Re: Tom Bonner

Well at least we didnt have to wait for 10 weeks to get the facts , Havant are obviously happy to pay Tom " top dollar " to make part time appearances for them and he would have been nuts to turn it down , we interesting to see how Kingy gets that to successfully] work , I hope we can keep...

Re: Chippenham Town v Dartford Sat 7 Oct 2023

Listened to the match on Darts commentary and enjoyed it as we played well and some decent football with a very good 4-1 result , sounds like Josh Johnson was doung a great job in midfield and a cracker of a goal , hope we can now go on a run of wins and get into those playoffs Those who went : any ...

Re: Tom Bonner

I feel sure Bonners decision to retire was genuine and he had a new business venture in place , bear in mind that Kingy was NOT in place at Havant then there was nothing premeditated and Toms comments about not playing for another team were probably based on sentiment Times change and IF he has rece...

Re: Tom Bonner

At present I guess most Dart fans are shocked atTom signing for Havant when I believe he said he wouldnt play for another Club ??? , Perhaps I have got it wrong and await further info before I say anything ?????????

Re: Chippenham Town v Dartford Sat 7 Oct 2023

We should pay up contracts and wish them all the best elsewhere , the board should give Dowse some budget[ if necessary] to bring in a couple of injury free strikers , I know [ in retrospect that Dowse cocked up signing these again ] but time to look forward !!!!!!!!!!!!
