@Darlotoon Sorry to read this, have enjoyed following yours and Sammy’s adventures on here over the years. Hope you are all as ok as you can be when this happens.

Conceding a goal like that in a semi final is absolutely criminal. It’s brain dead football.

@andrewhoddie @officialcufc Evatt makes sense if you want to continue the style of play the owners seem to want but it’s that style that’s the problem with the fans isn’t it? Granted he has had far more success with it than MW has at this level.

@andrewhoddie @officialcufc They have to get this next one right. It’s harder by the year to go down and come back up again. Who you fancying for it? I’d be after Neil Warnock until the end of the season I think. Minimum you’d be is organised which goes a long way in league 2

@andrewhoddie @officialcufc The timing though? Did the same with Simo, let him assemble a squad of players then sacked him and brought in MW who had to make do with what was there for months. Going to happen again now to whoever the next one in is.

@dale_sando Thanks mate and absolutely correct. First time in North Norfolk for me, beautiful area.

@Official_Darlo That’s quite a result that, well in lads!

You can’t be giving penalties for that in all fairness. Completely understand why Maguire is fuming with it.

@tom_breedon @FA Hard to disagree with that. It’s an absolute disgrace by the FA.

@tom_breedon @FA I don’t get why we are going to extra time now. If it’s about player welfare and I presume that’s why the decision to scrap replays came about then how does an extra 30 minutes now help that at all?!

@quakerette Yes! Blink and a year goes by in no time these days or at least that’s how it feels..

This is superb @BenPearson1997 👏🏻👏🏻 In my 35+ years I’ve been watching Darlington, I’d have Hatfield right up there in the conversation as one of the most influential central midfielders I have ever seen play for us. Sensational player.

@tom_breedon I was expecting a decent atmosphere from them lot today as they get decent numbers. Didn’t hear anything from them. First time up there for me, good main stand but the rest of the ground is a mix match of different things. Can tell they’ve come up the leagues quickly

South Shields 0-1 Darlington A classic away performance to kick off the new year. Solid defensively all over the pitch. Good away day in a sold out and noisy away end!

@DenzelHuck You only need another 4 wins or so to avoid that so it’s highly unlikely. However, start most games with that 11 that played last night and 4 wins would be a bit of an ask. January should help you out though. A couple of pacey, attacking wing backs would be a good place to start!

If this Man United team starts more games than not from now until the end of the season then they will do well to stay up. Absolutely appalling side.
