Re: Dartford v Truro City Sat 20 Apr 2024

DFC should be making every effort to win this. Should Taunton lose against WSM tonight then fail to beat Hemel on Saturday, three points would see us finish 21st and in with a slim chance of a reprieve if Truro are (rightfully) kicked out of the National League for having no ground. All ifs and mayb...

Re: London Senior Cup Quarter Final - Cray Wanderers v Dartford Tue 16 Apr 2024

I felt we were the better side overall and deserved the win. The young academy lads did well and to be fair everyone can be pleased with their performance. We won and i was there so i'm enjoying it.... :lol: And then on to Hendon next week. The first time I saw Rob Haworth play was at Hendon First ...

Re: The state of Dartford football club

Should we expect some sort of announcement from the club regarding our relegation? Personally I would expect something apart from thanking the fans for attending despite the poor season we have had, so fans can buy into next season - the sooner the better IMO Ha ha! Fifteen days late with that one ...

Re: The state of Dartford football club

Every season, one or two teams get a good result and their fans will say “that’s the worst Dartford side I’ve seen for ages / ever seen”. Of course, it’s fine to say these things, but the chances are that we will have had an off day and / or the other side has turned up and played a blinder. This se...

Re: Yeovil Town v Dartford Sat 13 Apr 2024

Total walk in the park for Yeovil. They had a slew of chances towards the end, so considering the penalty it was a surprise that they only scored three. It was two sides at least one division apart already. My vote went to Byrne who was excellent. Yes, we put on a bit of pressure for ten minutes as ...

Re: Yeovil Town v Dartford Sat 13 Apr 2024

Game played out pretty much as per my expectations. In fact, I had a feeling that Yeovil were going to win 4/5-0. That being said, I was pretty certain that our fate would only be guaranteed on the final day, the fact that it has come early is testament to the utter shambles that has been DFC in 202...

Re: Yeovil Town v Dartford Sat 13 Apr 2024

Slight exaggeration - it’s not as grim as Stanley Park or Luton. Does look a bit nicer in the sun, still not much libation opportunity though. Depends how much you like Wetherspoon really! Found a few fellow Darts out and about, be nice to think we might get 100 here today and hopefully make a game ...

Re: Yeovil Town v Dartford Sat 13 Apr 2024

Yeovil is the most desolate place I have ever visited. Well done to them for winning the league. Was hoping to find a town vibrant with celebration, instead it was like 2020. Whatever happens tomorrow, it would be nice to see a few people celebrating around this boarded-up void of despair which make...

Re: The state of Dartford football club

Decent answer DoH, we have to then revisit the frivolous comments made in pre-season regarding the zero chance of finishing as high as 2022/23 season. I had some sympathy for AD, but it was compromised by the car-crash interviews and constant unnecessary comments about the b****t. Totally right rega...

Re: The state of Dartford football club

Only mitigation there, Tall Dart, is hindsight. If Dowson had stayed until season close and all results had played out the same (unlikely, I grant), we would all be raging that the axe had not been swung earlier. What we don’t know, is how we would have reacted to a mid-table finish if Dowson stayed...

Re: Dartford v Worthing Tue 9 Apr 2024

A lot has been said about our failings and individual errors tonight with little consideration of the opposition. Worthing are sitting high in the playoff positions for a reason - they are well organised, skillfull and move the ball around quickly and with purpose. They always had at least one guy ...

Re: News from around the National League South

Heard a rumour today that Taunton could be facing a points deduction for fielding an ineligible player and also that Truro could be in the bother for not being able to provide a pitch for next season. The win at Havant on Saturday increased our chances of survival from about 10% to about 20%. I’d sa...

Posting this here as opposed to “Social Events” as it isn’t official DFC doings. In honour of Ray Pennell’s death last year, “Rayfest” will be taking place at the Growler Stop (bottom of West Hill, Dartford) on Saturday 27th April.

Re: John Stevens Home Player of the Year voting

Park Life notched an impressive 39 MOTM votes in one game.

To put this into perspective, Archie Woods and Paul Rooney managed 80 each, while our captain and shoe-in POTS Luke Coulson has garnered just 144, which is 3-4 per game.

Fair play to Parky.
