Re: Dartford v Hemel Hempstead Town Sat 23 Mar 2024

I've just been watching that classic YouTube video again of the referee being chased off the pitch, through the car park and out of the ground by the players! Should Hemel win this afternoon I'm wondering if a similar scene could occur upon the final whistle, with Dowse legging it down the slope tow...

Re: Dartford v Maidstone Utd Sat 16 Mar 2024

It just needs the referees to 'man up' - when a player goes down screaming and then has a miraculous recovery as soon as the whistle goes then give them a yellow card for 'ungentlemanly conduct' - or go the whole hog and give them a red card for 'serious foul play' Sorry I am now admitting my age b...

It's extremely optimistic.
The only problem there is we don't get awarded that many penalties and we're running out of games.

Re: Braintree Town v Dartford Tue 12 Mar 2024

I'm not surprised by the position we're in now. It's been coming. We've had two good managers One steered us away from relegation to a play-off final and was sacked. The other to a second place finish and was sacked the following season. Both managers regularly referred to "the budget" whi...

Re: Last 10 games

The current form guide has Eastbourne in 16th and us in 22nd place. They have been improving and like us, before the Torquay debacle, were only losing by the odd goal and now they've started reversing those 0-1 score lines. Even more concerning, their next 2 games are both at home and they're not up...

Re: Torquay Utd v Dartford Sat 9 Mar 2024

Won't say what I think because it's not positive and the usual suspects will pile on me. Absolute disgrace from everyone at the club, excluding the manager as its far too late for him to do anything No, say what you think. I've been quite because I said this was going to happen a couple of months a...

Re: New Manager.

I'm staying neutral on the appointment of the new manager at the moment. Neither happy nor unhappy. Maybe because things are sounding not too dissimilar to the situation regarding Hakan Hayrettin's appointment at Dulwich last season. A successful manager who came in probably a little bit too late to...

Re: News from around the National League South

I understand Cray Wanderers are due to move into their new home at Flamingo Park next season.
Surely if there is a ground share opportunity available that would be more suitable for Welling, being located just outside the boarder of the London Borough of Bexley.

Re: Player news

The club has got to get it's head screwed on and be tough when it comes to any negotiations. If a Premier League club comes in and thinks that much of the lad than stick a million pound price tag on his head. It's the Premiere League so play hardball. Forget about a player having his head turned. It...

Re: Dartford v Chippenham Town Tue 13 Feb 2024

I had a feeling we wouldn't finish quite as high as last season. But I didn't see this coming. The ceiling's caved in. Whatever ambitions we harboured have gone out of the window and now we've lost our way. It's not easy to get crucial decisions right in an unpredictable world. But that's what succe...

Re: News from around the National League South

I can't believe the board at Maidstone are still making these statements. They've been having issues with yobs for years and done sod all about it. They believe these unsavoury incidents are rare. Really? Well they're not in their case. I think a lot of fans who have experienced a less than welcomin...

Re: Bath City v Dartford Sat 10 Feb 2024

Chin's move to Bath is a strange one considering the travelling distance involved, for which we've lost players for that very same reason. I'm not expecting Romain to set the place alight either if he can't get into the Horsham side. Lady Luck will keep us up this season, only because Taunton are in...

Re: Another match at Princes Park on February 7

Thought we had a good drainage system. There again I thought we had a good team once. Another backward step with a game cancelled at short notice. Atleast Truro City can't be blamed for this one. And they tried to blame Plymouth Parkway. I wonder if City Lionesses will blame their landlords. There w...

Well there won't be a revolving door. TB hasn't got the contacts like King and Dowse have. So as far as shipping people out goes, who are we going to bring in? Unless his mate John Still can do him a favour in return for the Noor Hussain bargain sale of the season. A lot of our players used to come ...
