Went to watch my team away at Padiham last night and we came away 3-1 winners.

Their first goal was a good long ball to winger who was quick but bad position by Mitchell (our defender) let him in and he finished well to score. They then had a second goal ruled offside and I do love linesman at this level as he cocked it up completely. He was onside by a good yard but it didn't stand and Padiham should have been two up. That said it was there only real attacks in the first half as we had battered them and their keeper had saved a couple and we were off target as well.
Right before half time we levelled.
In the second half we pressed again and after 70 mins I'm thinking it is going to be a draw as Padiham seemed content to defend. Eventually we scored from a goal mouth melee and it was bundled in. Five minutes before the end we finished them off with a really good goal and finish from Thompson.

If you are interested you can see the goals at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iok4egYgMFk&feature=youtu.be
If you stop the video after 19secs, I am the last guy in the front on the left with my lad next to me.

I wish fella.
We were in the conference until we went into admin again and liquidator was literally putting us out of business when the fans started the now community club and got a last second reprieve.
The FA though stuck one right on us and said we could no longer be Darlington FC (to me and the other regulars we will always be Darlington no matter what that lot says) we are now Darlington 1883 FC. They then stuck us down the maximum they could which was 4 leagues. But being the bunch of gits they are they gave us a 10 point deduction amongst other things which left us rock bottom of conference so we were relegated to the Conf North then they placed the 4 league drop on.
We are now in the Evostik Northern Division 1. If we get out of that we will be in Evostik Premier then after that back to Conference North.

well don't worry if you can't see me I have my Darlo black beanie on and there is a lad with a black parka type coat next to me a little taller (my lad). If you stop on 19 secs I appear to be looking at ref who is looking at their goalscorer.

Anyway it is not a major thing. I did not expect to be on their video.

Hi Darlo, this is even better! My younger son and myself at Osasuna (Pamplona) three months or so ago. Ok, not the Royals I know, sorry, but ...

Unless you are in the premier league, don't expect any favours from the FA!

They are only second to FIFA I think on the corruption league!

Hiya Darlington, isn't there a fixture pile-up problem for your club this season, I see you have played SEVEN games less than some other teams in your division? !

Yep I'll say and it was postponed again today when we were away to Frickley Athletic.

I'm getting worried now because two seasons back Spennymoor has this sort of thing but we had played games and were above them and had the points but with games in hand they could win the league. They then had so many games to play by the league deadline that it was 2 or 3 games a week and it took its toll and they dropped points as a result and we won the league. Now we are 4 games behind Blyth Spartans and can get level with them but I look back at Spennymoor and think points in the bank is better than games in hand.

Good to see the club still competing and not completely going out of business.

The FA will do no favours to clubs in these kind of circumstances. Corrupt W******
