The Dart(s) Board

Thoroughly enjoyable game Saturday. Unlike last season the festive period has arrived early. Diarra, Chin and Alexander provide a great spine to build a team around. Unfortunately they are not our players, with two of those loan periods due to expire by January. While the performance against Torquay...

Referee Emily Heaslip took charge of the FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Man United at Wembley last season, infront of 77,390 fans.

That's a shame as it will no doubt be another long away day rescheduled for midweek. It's also very tough on anyone who's booked accommodation for the game this weekend. Hopefully it's not too late to get refunded although it's cutting it a bit fine. For anyone who still fancies going to a game the ...

Let's hope there's good turnout for Gemma and the girls on Sunday. I doubt there will be many Dartford fans making the long journey to watch the men's team in Devon the day before, so it'll be an opportunity for everyone to still get their footie fix this weekend by supporting Dartford Football Club...

If I do nothing else this weekend I will most certainly be there on Sunday afternoon, not only to support this amazing team in the FA Cup, but to make a further contribution towards the ACL operation Gemma so desperately needs.

I'm becoming lost for words now.
Amid the doom and gloom in some quarters there is something very special happening at Princes Park at the moment.
With yet another great result for our very special group ladies away to Aylesford today.

Another great performance from the girls whose style of football is very enjoyable to watch.
Some great goals too. The pick of the bunch for me was our third goal being Paris Smith's 35 yard screamer.
Looking forward to seeing us back in league action at Aylesford tomorrow.

Attendance 204.
One more than the attendance at the following night's match in the Isthmian Premier between Kingstonian and Enfield.
Good turnout by Dartford supporters too.

Fantastic!

Catching the train home after the final whistle, the walk home from Dartford station felt mild compared to the usual chilly experience I always seem to suffer at that godforsaken ground at Ebbsfleet. And tonight was no different. Except it was at that same godforsaken ground that I witnessed one of ...

Probably not quite at our best today. But all credit to Crawley who came with a game plan you would expect from a side facing a team with a 100% record after six league games. It worked for them in the first half. In the second half captain Lizzie Adams opened the scoring, not for the first time thi...

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...
