Re: Tom Bonner
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: Dartford Players of The Past
A friend of mine invited me yesterday on a boardroom hospitality package to Southend vs Ebbsfleet. Good to see our old player Noor Husin play again, he looked very comfortable at that level. Also good to see Ebbsfleet loose 3 - nil. In other Dartford connections meet again John Still who is Southen...

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...

Re: FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round - Dartford v Welling Sat 16 Sep 2023
So, football. Marvellous, isn’t it? Jumpers for goalposts? Julio Geordio in charge? Local FA cup derby? Black and white army? Bickering on the forums? Sack the manager? Sack the board? Watch Gravesend ladies play lacrosse instead? Mummy, mummy, where’s the cyanide? Oh, heavenly nirvana. Football? I...

Re: Dartford Players of The Past
GordonRoadDart said Very sad to hear this news about Bob Taylor. I believe that he scored in both matches against Exeter in the famous FA Cup victory in 1961. Top Yes two in the Saturday away game at Exeter with a crowd of 6162 and one in the Wednesday home game and yes a crowd of 6739 for the afte...

Re: Dartford Players of The Past
I have just been informed of the passing of ex-Dart Bob Taylor on 12 September. Unfortunately, my copy of the Dartford FC history book is still packed away since my move so I’m unable to confirm Bob’s playing record but believe he signed from Gillingham where I think he may well have been one of the...

Re: Dartford v Slough Town Tue 5 Sep 2023
I have frequently been described as one of the "rose tinters" on here, but if I'm going to keep that reputation, Dowse really has to give me something to work with. I'm sorry, but the style of football we are playing is simply horrible to watch and there is absolutely zero flair or creati...

True but the same could be said about the views on this forum. Woe betide anyone have an opinion that differs to anyone on here! I don't think that's entirely true Dicky.

Re: Weymouth v Dartford Sat 12 Aug 2023
Find some of the comments on twitter infuriating. You'd think we'd just been relegated. We're 2 games in ffs!!! The comments on Twitter are mainly comments from idiots. Just find it ridiculous to be honest, people already asking for a managerial change. That's the last thing we need at this point. ...

Must admit one benefit I now have in living in an over 55 retirement village, is the reciprocal arrangements with 32000 other communities around the country.

Re: News from around the National League South
Terry Sullivan was indeed a fine player but I didn't enjoy version 2 of his return. Was it under Bobby Makin? In fact, TS looked more like Wilson from the Tom Hanks movie rather than a former football player. I think Sully came out of a semi retirement to do Bobby Makin a favour as his first season...
