Just heard him on the radio. He said: "We can't complain about the state of their pitch. Have you seen how bad ours is?" I think he's a decent bloke and if Darlow stick with him, as we stuck with Turner, they will get promoted one day.

Not by May 4 though

I feel sorry for yous like. Six strikers and five injured? Summit like that anyway.

Well, If we get promoted either automatic or through the play off's then we'll deserve our moment. If we fail, then so be it.

Life is easy, it's promotion that's difficult.

God that sounds familiar did Penney and Danny boy attend the same management skills classes . Oh and Darlo

Looked pretty easy last year

Cos I got told off for being beastly to them last week!

It's a weaker league this season. You just need momentum.

I'd love to feel sorry for Darlo but given they told us we bottled it when we didn't blow it quite like they are now, I can't say I feel bad for them.

And it's quite a monumental fall, given the lead they had above the playoff spots... 1pt behind and 2 more games played

surely they have broken the loan rules



hereford let me down today mind

They did me as well along with Plymouth who played against 10 men for 87 minutes

Maybe they think that the art of growing grass is having a window sill full of cannabis plants.

Send in George's worms.

I've just read the Loid rivals board for the first time in ages, not very happy are they!?

Even some 'Penney out' threads

Apparently they only took 150 fans to Stockport yesterday, 3rd top with 5 games left after not being promoted since 1991 and they take 150 Unbelievably piss poor 'support' they don't deserve promotion. Compare and contrast that with our following at Edgely Park last season when they had to close the turnstiles due the away end being full.......

150?! Absolutely disgraceful

post from a stockport fan in this thread:

http://darlington.rivals.net/forum/pgeP ... &clubId=30

"You deserve nothing this season, frankly! We were average today yet we still completely bossed you for 90 minutes.
Also big moan of the match! where on earth was your away support? 150 for a big top of the table clash? you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves.
derisory away numbers. Terrible! but at least it proves you've over acheived this season and you will win nothing."

oh my...

sussies reckons it was 320 - frankly i'm amazed he admitted to even taking that.

Is it because stockports ground is too far out of town for them?

320 is still an absolutely comical turnout for such an important fixture. If we'd have been at Stockport yesterday and we had nothing to play for we'd have taken 500+ without any shadow of a doubt we took that to Crewe the other week which is further, that given we had nothing to play for and our our form is poor.

Why are they not getting behind them

I have no idea, whenever I ask them I get a witty retort about us being bottlers or them having 8 more than us last week.

Just look at the carnival atmosphere as the Darlo promotion tidal wave roars into Stockport;

A question that has been asked, yet not answered all season. The Majority of the town are complete and utter tossers and a vast section of those that do go are just as bad.

Maybe the club should just fold and do the morons of the town a favour

I remember the last game of the season last year when Darlo were thoroughly thrashed by Stockport at home. Happy times!

And Rivals looks shit now, when did they change it? Seeing all kinds of names I haven't seen in ages... TinShedDarloFan, InBreedon and DOTU... jeez, I'm glad I packed that shit in

Even their own ground is too far out of town for them

I have to say it's a far cry from the sell-out attendance (and indeed more than the capacity of that stand) which Pools supporters filled last season. I've no doubt that if we'd only had a few hundred there instead, the team would not have been so inspired to come back from 3 goals down.

Very true.

Just said something similar to the loid at work this morning.

He was one of the few that was there but like I said to him if they'd taken a decent support maybe they'd have got something from the game.

I went through theirs and their rivals fixtures a few weeks ago with him and told him 8th had their name written all over it. He laughed but now he is starting to think it could be so if they lose against Hereford and Chesterfield in their next 2 games.

Personally I would cry laughing if it happened.

If it is a possibility come the last day of the season I'm seriously considering going to Peterborough if anyone else fancies it seeing as though Pools have got nowt riding on the last game this season!

I think they'll end up 7th. I'm looking forward to them losing to Rochdale in the season that sees Dale get out of that league for the first time since before a lot of Bunker users were born. Surely their fans deserve it after all these years.

They've probably got just enough points on the board to avoid missing out on the playoffs altogether, but it would still be funny as fk if it did happen.

My brother wished the same thing - if Rochdale are promoted, that means Darlo are the longest-serving basement club. I'd like that. It'd quite an accolade to have

Have you seen darlow's last 4 games?

It wouldn't be the biggest shock of the season for them to lose against Hereford and Chesterfield, and if they did the pressure would be right on for their penultimate game which is at home to Dagenham.

And then their last match is away at Peterborough.

If they pick up only a point from their last 4 they could miss out if Cheaterfield do a good run.

On the same score where the loids to beat Hereford on Saturday then they're right back in the hunt for 3rd place again.

COME ON HEREFORD!!!

Sarf, have you ever stayed at the Travel Inn on the Marina?

Yes, back in April on a cold Friday night.

Dare I ask why?

did you not notice the shuffling in the closet?

anyway, get some work done!

I see Sarf's had a back, sack and crack...I understand it's quite popular in the gay community....

That night on the Marina? Yes I did. Was It you and Liam

I bet you left that dead monkey in my bath too

Sadly, that's Liam when he's "spent"

you didn't flush him did you? I never saw him for weeks after that!

You had a chat with a bloke, his wife and daughter. We had a bit of banter about Darlo/Pools.
Remember?

No

But I do suffer from er.. you know, er... what?

Rarfism?

I won't be joining you ripper in Peterborough. But you have reminded me of what is probably my favourite non Pools match. I went along with a Mackem supporting mate to watch Darlo being relegated to the Conference. I remember it as a either/or situation, with Darlo or the opponents on the day Colchester looking at the drop, and a win fro Colchester sent the Loids down. But looking at ITMC, they went down with 42 points, and Colchester finished 3rd bottom with 50, Doncaster being between them on 49, so my memory must be slightly out. But it was still a great day.

I hope they sack Penney, it would make my daY. Surely there's better clubs for him than Darlow....Huddersfield.

Edit: welcome to the board sarf.

You lot have some very strange slang
