The Dart(s) Board

To be honest Matt85 I can't see Steve King doing that. If H&W are still a full time outfit I can't see the point of having players who play when it suits them.
It's not very professional either.

In reply to Matt85 that's a fair point. Which further indicates his original plans haven't quite worked out. The first thing you do in this situation is to be prepared for the unexpected. So maintaining your fitness levels is important while deciding what the next best move is going to be. It certai...

Ok, Tom was quoted as saying he had to retire from the game and if he had carried on it was Dartford or nothing. But circumstances do change. As I l've already stated maybe there have been problems with the business venture. It happened to me once involving the purchase of a cafe in Worthing with a ...

My understanding was that Tom signed for us on non contract as we needed cover on the bench, he had been training with dartford since the start of the season to keep his fitness up, and the manager wanted him to sign, not sure how Dowse and the board can be blamed if he decided to go elsewhere afte...

Another great performance today. The perfect start to a season. A convincing 3-0 win over Ashford and it could have been more. All the goals were very well taken too. This team seems to get better with every game. Goals apart, the over all performances have been very good as well. They keep the ball...

"Brass neck" meaning.

As defined by the Cambridge Dictionary.

"A type of behaviour where someone is extremely confident about their own actions but does not understand that their behaviour is unacceptable to others."

So there you have it.

You've been officially diagnosed.

And before anyone pulls me up on this. There is an Alan Dowson thread but that wasn't the one which was removed.

Explanation then is required if nothing was racial, homophobiac, libellous , untrue or went against any forum law. My sentiments exactly. There was nothing untoward about the thread. People were expressing an opinion that's all. I don't necessarily agree with the comments as I believe sacking yet a...

Thoroughly enjoyable game today. It wasn't a case of if we'll score but when. And on the half hour captain Lizzie Adams duly obliged by converting a penalty which she also won. In the second half we went 2-0 up from an excellent header by the same lady who may have had a hand in the third. Unfortuna...

In all games we have won 2 in the last 20 how long do we continue? Especially as every interview he seems to have is a carbon copy of the previous ones "individual error" "no leader" "defensive mistake". I'm not one to normally comment but when you see the solution com...

Our past successes have been built on stability. Not by sacking managers every other season. It's not the Dartford way. Steve King and Alan Dowson are two top managers. So what's the point in bringing in yet another successful manager at this level. The club will just be wasting the man's time. The ...

First of all, with reference to my observations regarding the AGM/Meet the manager evening, this was not a personal criticism of Rick, regarding the locking of a match thread prior to the scheduled Q&A at 7pm. Following Gary as site administrator was a hard act to follow and Rick has excelled h...

For those who cannot absorb content in it's entirety. Our attendances are dropping and I'm basically going public with what I hear from the man and woman in the street on a regular basis. If people want to close their eyes to it then that's their problem. If I was running a business and losing custo...

The St. Albans match preview is still up there.

Strange how the St. Albans thread was suddenly locked down and archived, minus the last 3 posts too.

Haven't heard anything further regarding the Meet the Manager evening.

With the ticket office at Dartford station being closed and the queue for the one available ticket machine being as long as your arm, I opted for the bus to Woolwich Arsenal. I then boarded the DLR and made it up as I went along by alighting at Poplar, before jumping back on the same train, as the d...

I haven’t posted on the forum for many years So here goes……. The blame lays squarely with the board nobody else They have made some terrible decisions and appointments over the last few years Many people voted with their feet many seasons ago Once Mr Burman stepped aside the appointments have been ...

Using last season's league table as a guideline.
30 x Dowse post-match interviews = relegation.
Based on loses ofcourse. But failure to win games and we won't get away with much more than that.
