rochdale 1-0 upa gsint torquay :(

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

I cannot believe that we are 2-0 down after 30 minutes when we are having the majority of the play and shots according to the BBC. Plus it seems that Darlo are trying to kick us off the park!

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

First foul by Rocky and he is booked yet the official is letting others off lightly - not impressed, any relation to Dowd?

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

macclesfield 0 monkey hangers 1

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

Macclesfield are 1-0 down, some good news at last!

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

Grr Evil has just scored for Wrexham :(

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

That's not a good sign, we need to maintain our place on the table, better to fight back from.

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

Half Time.................

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

Half Time -

2-0 Darlington.

COME ON LADS GET IT TOGETHER!

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

Hopefully Torquay won't recover for the rest of the season. Then our only hope is Boston. If they keep losing then we'll be ok. I honestly don't see us getting ourselves out of this mess.

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

Sorry Macclesfield are 1-0 down, typo.

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

It’s beyond belief isn’t it? 44 years in the cold and we spend our first year back in the league depending on other clubs to fall in order to save us. There’s something unpleasant waiting in the coal hole if we don’t find our feet soon.

On Stanley On.

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

How many games have we now lost by the odd goal this season? Must be about 10.:(

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

FT 2-1 to Darlo's :(:(:(

Seriously need a win on saturday in fact a few !!

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

one of their players sent off, may help us next sat!

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

4 in the last seven games

at least its progress and shows that although we aint good enough, we aint too far behind the pace

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

True. I'll be there. come on folks let's make a big show of it on Saturday. Get behind the lads and push of a win. :)

On Stanley On.

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

some good news, monkey hangers have been gifted a goal by macc - 3-2 to Hartlepool

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

liam richardson wasnt even on the subs tonight and the goals came from the left hand side (Rogers)

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

wrexham also losing now

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

both wrekam and macc have lost, boston only drew and torquay we can discount, but also lost

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

yay we dont move up or down now and thats another game gone but it would havce been good to gain points and pull away cos not many points picked up below us tonight

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

That's good news, no change in the table for now but a lot of hard work ahead for the team. We need to keep above the current position, it gives us time to sort this situation out.

On Stanley On

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

well thats saved us a bit, I forgot we had kicked off earlier than the rest and seriously thought we were gonna be in the relegation spots!

innit exciting! lose every week but it doesn't matter cos all the rest do!

flipping heck, I hope we dont suffer this every year

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

looking at the matches we have left, we have to make the most of the home matches, because potentially we can win at least 5 of them and gain a couple of draws! Of the away matches, I can see us only picking up one win and maybe if lucky a couple of draws. - so another 22 points estimated. Lets see. The only problem is that both Bury who play tomorrow and Rochdale are now 4 and 5 points above us which means regardless of what happens on Saturday against Lincoln we can only go down a place or two, dependant on what Macc, Boston and Wrexham do. What is worrying is that Macc's goal difference is now only 2 worse than our own!

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

So you reckon we are going to win 5 home matches eh? well how are we going to produce them when we aint produced a single goal scoring chance in our last two homes games, I fear the worst.

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

From the Darlo messageboard if it's any consolation:-

"The second half was abysmal and we were very lucky to get away with the win"

No it's not, I know!

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

Just got back from Darlo and I must say we were seriously unlucky not to get a point at least. Can`t say that Stanley played all that bad in the first half, they had a lot of possesion and created a few good chances then there were 2 moments of utter pooh when they just shot `emselves in the foot. It was horrific, suddenly the defence who had been performing quite well had a major brain fade then did it again. Young Shrek is a great reactor but I felt several times in this game he was slow to get back in buisness, I think that cost us one. Second half even before subs it was a Red takeover, Stanley were running passing a pressuring just like we`ve always wanted them to, the goal was always coming. Only one down it looked like only one team was gonna score next but unfortunately despite some great efforts and whiskers past the post, we never did. Pleuh.
Was a great finish to the game and the Ulras made the most of noising up the less than 1/4 full arena. The Stadium is fantastic but wasted on Darlo really, apparently it holds 25k but they`re never allowed more than 10 cos of parking or summat. Why build it like that ? the atmosphere would have been better half the size. The Stewards did keep telling us to sit down but they were very civil and pally about it and I`ve no complaints, no smoking in the stands so it was just slippers and no pipe. I was designated drummer for the evening so had a brill time, when they scored I just pretended I was Keith Moon playing for the Who live at Leeds, and it eased the pain slightly. Trouble is they did get fooled again.
Darlo fans we met in the bar were a decent sort and agreed the 2nd half was seat of the pants time for them, they all wished us well as we left.
Never mind, Stanley are looking a lot better and one day soon someone`s gonna get a thumping and after tonight you gotta belive it`s gonna be lincoln.
Heads Up Stanleyites everywhere, we`re staying up without a shadow, starting with 3 points on Sat.
Quick word on Jammie, can`t say he did a lot wrong tonight and did a couple of good things, please continue the upward trend Alan. Still not in my starting 11 if leam is available.
Boco still looked a yard or 2 short of pace but he tried a natty little overhead kick which would have us singing in our sleep if it had sneaked in.
What can you say, sometimes it`s better to get a real kicking than to play well and still lose, but everyone keep faith cos we`ve got everything we need to stay up, even our opposition have said it. We might not have got results against good teams but others are performing as bad against worse.
When it all pans out Stanley will come up on top. Don`t doubt it.

Roll on Saturday !

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

thanks Zero, kinda glad I couldn't make it as I hate empty stadiums. Notts County was bad and made me want to go back to little tin shacks like Canvey and Tamworth!

Glad to see we had a go at em and I really hope that Lincoln have now shot their loads and are ready for a Stanley spanking.

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

The Stadium was fantastic.
A sight to behold.
But we rattled round like 90 peas in a 40 gallon drum.

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

Forgot to mention the Big drum wouldn`t fit through the turnstiles so had to go thru the industrial entrance.
Don`t go to Darlo if you`ve had too many pies.:)

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

Rodgers was our star player, scoring 8, according to the Darlington Mad website. Don't let the shorts put you off!

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

Yea? but then again according to the League Paper at the weekend he scored a 7 against Stockport whilst they only gave Tony Grant a 4 - couldn't work that one out :confused:

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

NAY, NAY AND THRICE NAY:eek:

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

why keep blaming keepers does that mean every keeper that plays for stanley is bad .there just so nervous cause the defence is so bad lets make the keepers the scapegoats. but everybody else is immune to criticism.

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

The keeper was blatantly at fault for the first goal, so criticism is justified. If you think "everybody else is immune to criticism" you only need to look through recent threads, Eric Whalley, John Coleman, Rob Heyes, Paul Mullin, Jammie Podgers, Andy Mangan.......

Re: Official Darlington Match Thread
 

yourself....
