Jeez the forum certainly is not for the faint hearted today and tin hats are highly recommended
Iâm not going to pin blame on any individual because it is after all a team game . Billyâs sending off was justified, but it was a decision he had to make , because at two down it would have been game over anyway . We had chances in the first half and as usual we didnât capitalise and inevitably we go on to lose again . What Maidstone do well is their ability to use the dark arts when under any pressure , and was on show many times yesterday with certain individuals falling over at the least of touches , but that is no excuse for our failings because they are a better team all over the pitch than we are with or without all their shenanigans . MOTM for me was Brandon .

It's right that Billy is no Bettinelli, or a Julian, King, Wilkes or Dudzinski. The last three being England C goalies. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
But really, at this moment, he's pretty well all we got. Young Tom, hasn't really been given a crack at the standard needed in the NLS but should we get relegated he may come up trumps next season.
To be honest Billy is saying he got a foot to the ball first, if he did we may appeal. But he definately got a fair whack at Faal's foot also. It was just twenty feet from where I was standing and to be quite honest it was a definate sending off in my opinion, because I thought it was a 'well, that's the end of that' situation.
It's a little thing called 'support'. Thanks for stopping by, though.
Sorry let me get this right, after everything youâve said you want to quote the word âsupportâ
I wouldnât know where to begin with that, are you aware of your own posts.
Itâs very simple, if youâre suffering you can easily just go away.
Wouldnât want you to suffer petal.
What are you talking about? Seems you dont know much about much. When you're turning up for Isthmian league football, or whatever mickey mouse league you'll be in, Billy will still be a pro and his family will still be supporting him on his journey to bigger and better things than Dartford.
But still, thanks for popping by
Hope all goes well for Billy in pro football, if not, Iâm sure thereâll be a club in some âMickey Mouseâ league where heâll be welcomeâŚ

Thing is with the goalkeeper we have seen loanees come to and play against Dartford and usually they stand out like a sore thumb when they are truly going places such as bettenelli for us and someone like ings when he was at Dorchester and was bloody brilliant.
Safe to say billy isnât at that level and never will be so I get it that âhe plays for Poole townâ is not as good for his family to discuss around the water cooler at work on a Monday morning as âbilly is at Bournemouthâ but suspect over time Poole town will be closer to the level he ends up at and wish him well like anyone else who plays for our great club (going 130 years and counting) be it in the isthmian, Kent or d and j tyres youth league!!

The yoof left the match early and congregated near the end of the Fastrack road with the intention of applauding the Maidstone fans on their way back to the station.

Of course, should have realised.
So the special police unit wasn't going into the stadium then, they were on there way to the trouble spots.

I was side on view from the dug out, my initial reaction was he got the ball. I can be wrong but that was my immediate thought.
I thought the same be interesting to see the video also thought the build up to the 2nd goal was offside as well.

Not Sour Grapes, they were the better Team but some of the cheating, a few times the slightest of touches their Player goes down actually "screaming", you can Cleary see just minor contact if any. I really feel total embarrassment at what I am watching these days, these people are ruining our Game of Football with their Theatre Dramatics, go and join a Theatre Class and don't ruin our Game.

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 by such a post -this used to be a man's game.....I have even refereed Ron 'Chopper' Harris in my youth and never saw anyone squeal at any of his robust challenges

I get that! all of it! Myself and another on here (identification protected in case of abuse! ) are former semi-pro refs and weâre both embarrassed by the appalling standard across the board these days. Sadly itâs down to a dearth of referees at grass routes which inevitably leads to shit ones getting overpromoted!

Sad to see this descending into personal comments towards other fans on here
Someone put it precisely on hear The other day
You should be able to post your own opinion without abuse and ridicule
The one keyboard warrior has got my back up
But heyho I have my opinion he has his
But personal comments about âclownâ behind the safety of a computer is a best pathetic
I truly hope Ade keeps the darts up for all the fans
Iâve a feeling he will

In women's football if they go down injured it's because they are. Whether cynicism creeps into their game eventually only time will tell. But the reason I'm highlighting this is because the few female officials we've had tend to ignore players when they go down like they've been shot. Most recent was Emily Hislop who refereed last season's women's FA Cup final between Chelsea and Man United. So far she's been the best referee I've seen at Princes Park this season. Kirsty Dowel is another one. And they are generally under more scrutiny week in week out when they are officiating televised WSL games. Any form of play acting is ignored. A player may well roll over once when hitting the deck through momentum. Other than that if it's serious he won't be able to f*cking move at all after that.
Give me Emily or Kirsty any day.
I wouldn't even be surprised if when they are appointed to take charge a National League game their mates tease them by saying they're on man flu duty.

That's when men were men and not snowflakes. hope the maidstone players got to powder puff their faces, put their LGBTQIA tracksuits on and take their handbags back home with them.

Just watched the sending off incident. I don't think we'll be mounting an appeal.

Please donât make the mistake of thinking I or anyone else on here doesnât know football, just because your friend/family member or whoever is Billy to you doesnât it mean sweet FA and you donât know anything about anyone on here.
Your decision to come on here and criticise some supporters will not help him at all, itâs a very silly thing to do from your part if youâre that close to him.
Also try and look at whatâs actually being said before you lose your emotions, Iâve stuck up for him on this thread, I also have praised his technical side of his game too on other threads.
So if you want to display emotional immaturity then maybe point it at the people who criticise him because Iâm not one of them.
I genuinely hope he has a great career, but and as you keep digging out the club and antagonising on here that weâll be in a Micky mouse league you obviously have Iâll feeling towards the club, thatâs based on your own comments.
Do you think this does Billy any favours?

Think before you post.
You will also see Iâve criticised the players and the board, never Billy.

Not interested in making any comments about Maidstone.....
Somehow we have to pull ourselves up from another defeat and move on.
We are running out of games and it is starting to look precarious.
But all we can do is hopefully finish 20th or higher.
Wether we stay up or not this team needs a complete overhaul because imho.we are WELL short on quality.
