Re: Dartford v Chippenham Town Tue 13 Feb 2024

I think everyone is missing my point. What possible good can it do at this crucial time to start slagging off the players? We need them to drag us out of the position we are in as its highly unlikely that we will get an influx of new quality players in before the end of the season even if a new man...

Re: London Senior Cup 2nd Round - Dartford v QPR Dev Tue 6 Feb 2024

Never thought I'd see the day we played my league side QPR, alright its not their 1st team in the FA Cup but the development side are top of their division so should be a decent game. You never know, we might be seeing a future Stan Bowles. Now that would be something 😀😀 Didn’t you play a game on t...

Re: New Manager.

Absolutely spot on, Spike. Even in my position watching events from afar this season my overriding feeling was the negative portrayal of the club by Dowson. Any positive aspects to his tenure have been most definitely wiped by the atrocious state he has left the first team; which Dowson admits ‘perh...

Re: Farnborough v Dartford Sat 3 Feb 2024

Those people talking about a late surge for the play-offs really need to get a grip on reality as surely our only concern this season now has to be gathering enough points to stay up, regroup and start again next season. I’m not sure the club is of the same view, Spike. According to the interview a...

Re: Dartford v Weymouth Sat 27 Jan 2024

Good luck to TB today. Even with the pretty much the same squad of players there is a new found optimism on this forum and amongst the supporters I know. And that has everything to do with TB’s more upbeat attitude and generally positive demeanour compared to the previous fella. The team selection t...

Re: Dartford Players of The Past

One of my top 5 players that has played for Dartford in my 40 years of watching Dartford. Yea. Still never understood how some never liked him. So many assists and over a 100 goals - Nuff said The reasons why some supporters were frustrated by Ryno's performances were the very same reasons why club...

Re: Tom Bonner

Ha ha. Like this!! Sadly, back in the 80s i was missing out on the Darts, what with living in South Wales at that time and 2 young lboys at that time. So I missed out on seeibg the penguins, although I do now have a small collection of ceramic ones! Hope you settle down well in Suffolk Gary. Hi Pet...

Sorry slightly off the subject of Tom Bonner but I blame Jonty when he mentioned Hi Skip, hope you have settled into deepest Suffolk. Just had a look at my Princes Among Men almanac and it says Colin scored 39 goals for the Darts in just over 300 appearances. Just as I was closing the book I notice...

Re: Tom Bonner

Colin Johnson was a goal scoring fullback whereas Steve was a no nonsense central defender. I always felt that Johnno was not the best defensively, the same could be said of David Myers, but boy were they exiting to watch. Didn’t Colin Johnson score 13 goals from left back one season, including tha...

Re: Tom Bonner

Duke, I don't think Tom's reputation will ever be in doubt with the real DFC supporters. In my mind, he has cemented his place in the all time greats lists, alongside Steve Connor. Thanks for your service Tom and carry on cashing in. Was Steve better than Colin Johnson? God those two were rolls Roy...

Re: Player news

If that's correct mate i think that's a really good move for Tom, he needs to play regular senior football. They posted it, nothing from us but that’s nothing new. It is a good move for him but, unless we’ve brought another keeper on that leaves us with only one and no cover 🤷‍♂️ I seem to remember...

Re: FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round - Dartford v Welling Sat 16 Sep 2023

The Darts last reasonable FA Cup run seems like an age ago so good luck to Dowse and the team today. An appearance in first round proper would be a major achievement under current circumstances and considering recent form in this comp. However, I expect our positive home record against Bus Stop FC t...
