Even for Darlow this is bizzarre. They have outdone themselves.

My 2-year old niece is going to recommend Ali Gibb to Darlo

That chairman is every bit as a big a barmpot as Reynolds. "His due diligence is fantastic" what George because he's played the guy on playstation!!? "He can use both legs" always useful for any human being.

On a scale of 10 to 11 how embarrassed do you reckon Dave Penney was by that set up 'news story'.

People have a go at IOR but at least we've never had to cringe with embarrasment at anything like that, I mean Mr Hodcroft wouldn't even consider wearing those shades.

Why would he be embarassed jockstrap

Oh look I was right;

Not rocket science is it, how is a manager going to feel when it is being suggested a 12 year old is signing his players

As for calling 'jockstrap' FFS I mean I've just read your one on rivals 'p jockstrap' I've been called some things over the years by Loids but that's the most juvenile ever! I'd rather you called me a 'lovely lovely person'. It's things like that remind me not post on rivals as I hadn't for months before that!

I think 'jockstrap' is a jolly friendly sort of greeting really and shows that, beneath that tough exterior, Darloids are great big sweeties really :-)

He's turning out to be a good player though jockstrap Who cares if crows dropped him into the arena

Dave Penney clearly cares, he cares about his reputation in football he doesn't want to work for a circus forever that's for sure. I reckon if an opportunity came up at most other clubs in the bottom two leagues he'd be off quicker than you could say 'carvery'.

I read rivals today for the time in months as I can't get on the Bunker from work. One thread and I was done, some pathetic argument about spelling which turned into ridiculous name calling.
