The Dart(s) Board

I’ve persuaded myself to venture down to PP for this relegation / play off battle. At the beginning of the season most observers would have expected the positions of the respective clubs, at this stage of the season, to be reversed. How wrong were they! I’m reliably informed that performances have ...

Really great to be back at PP and thoroughly enjoyed catching up with so many faces during my visit. Delighted to have the opportunity to meet Will Bass at his commentary point. Also to meet up again and have a chat with John Morton, our 1974 keeper at Wembley. I also took the opportunity to take up...

Apols but I’m an Elephant & Castle boy!! (Not a lot of people know that!!)

We do now though M1S

Thanks SD

Thank you Patrick! I live in hope!!

I agree with you 5th, and like you, only able to tell from the highlights. Yes, there was an attempted tug on the shirt, but it didn't stop the momentum of the forward, and as you say, run was covered by Rooney. I would have thought there were grounds for an appeal, to be fair. Similarly, I couldn't...

Rail tickets from Liverpool now bought, season ticket in my wallet, so all prepared for my trip down for this game. Seeing comments on another site about traffic delays due to road works in the area of DVH and A2, can anybody advise whether the FastTrack services from the station are being affected ...

Slough are actually the 2nd highest goalscorer with 63 goals, but they have conceded 55, which is the 5th worst in the league. Seems there could be more goals from both sides.

Hadn't realised their manager Scott Davies is player-manager.

Once again, well done to young Olly Box so far.

And I will be listening into the commentary Park Life, whether that be the Slough feed as listed, or Will Bass if he is in attendance.

I'm also looking at coming down to PP for Saturday's game v Taunton, providing all the transport links are in place. I need a PP fix!!

I've just seen in the NLP that Ollie Box has made it into the NL Team of the Week!

Congratulations Ollie!!

I was holding back before posting in order to have a look at the match highlights. There's no doubt Will Bass and his commentaries really give a good feel as to how the Darts are performing. We have been so close in recent games at getting something out of the games, so absolutely delighted that we ...

Delighted for young Ollie Box. Always trying to bring something to the game highlights and commentaries I have seen and listened to, and for me, thoroughly deserved for his efforts.

Now please Darts, let's push on.

Sanity restored!! Thanks Rick for the quick response!

Thankfully, we still have Will Bass to listen to!!

Let's hope the airways bring noise from the fans celebrating a goal or two. The lads deserve it.

I'm getting very confused!!! I looked earlier in the day at the nationalleaguetv.org website to see if this game might be televised, but it didn't show on their schedule. A link has appeared at the top of this post courtesy of Rick, and Dorset Dart says he will be tuning into the streamed game tonig...

The live commentary seemed to suggest a game of 2 halves, and so the highlights have shown that to be true. The Darts really deserved to have come out of that game with at least a point, especially given that Bath are challenging up near the top. So many chances created, especially after the TB half...

Looking forward to tuning into the game, and Rick, I have noted you have provided 2 Bath links at the top of this post!! Thanks!!

I see that Semi Ajayi was in the Nigerian team which beat South Africa on penalties after a 1-1 draw to reach the final of the African Nations Cup. Congratulations!!

But not too far for Taunton Dart to travel, is it Patrick!!

That was a thoroughly enjoyable and competitive end to end game to listen to, so thanks again, Will Bass. Always says it as he sees it, and non stop commentary, and never diverging to asides which are not part of the game, but keeping his eye on the ball all the time. And how you manage to be identi...

A bit like back in the days of the 60's when our reserves played in the Metropolitan League, and regularly came up against some of the 'A' teams of the major London clubs. Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham and West Ham spring to mind and there were players in those teams who made it to the Football League of...
