Roker Park, Billingham or Norton Sports Complex?

If it's neither of them then yes, do please tell!

Are we talking about a Darlington home game played elsewhere or a game on Neutral Ground...

But, do please tell

It was not at Bishop Auckland, was it ?

I already guessed at Kingsway Paul, if you are referring to their old ground. That wasn't correct anyway.

It was 17th November 1998, FA Cup First Round, Darlington V Burnley.

The game finshed in a 3-2 victory for Darlington who, going into the 81st minute trailed the visitors 2-0 after two goals by Andy Payton. However strikes by Brian Atkinson on 81, Mario Dorner on 87 and a fantastic 90th minute winner by Mark Barnard fired the Quakers into round 2!

The match was played at................................................................................ The Riverside Stadium in Middlebsorugh as Feethams was, for a change, unplayable!

So after all the guessing, I got it with my very last guess, you live and learn, lol

It was a great game for Darlo, one of the best come backs i have seen. Burnley just collapsed

Although I only started supporting Darlo more recently, Brian Atkinson was my favouritre player as a nipper, as was big Marco G as well

Andy Payton.

That's a name I've not heard for a long time ..... Scourge of Scunthorpe United's defense quite a few times while he was at Hull City.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Really? In a world where many a player has had an undeserved good reputation over-inflated by the press department of his club (with a view to selling on)?

I was mindful of this posting when a very annoyed Brendan Rogers said that the admission by Luis Suarez in a South American sports paper that he had deliberately dived to gain a penalty in the match against Stoke City has been considered and a suitable punishment was being considered by Liverpool FC. Brendan Rogers gave the impression of being let down by a player to whom he had given much personal support so far.

It appears that certain players do not go out of their way to enhance their reputation when other seek to defend them against the press.

If the Press dislike you then you could have a disciplinary record like Laudrup and it'd not help you in the slightest.
Tabloids acting as judge, jury and executioner (this goes way behind the football pitch) is despicable and with Leveson's findings swept under the rug they've learnt they can threaten politicians to get their own way which is, of course, entirely dictated by profit and leads us to a very dangerous world where a person's reputation, and in extreme cases their safety, can be shattered on mere rumour.

(rant over )

I see Nigel Adkins has just been sacked by Southampton.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21079956

Something not right if you ask me, that stinks

 

[Mr Spock]

Nigel Adkins sacked by Southampton and replaced by Argentinian Mauricio Pochettino.

Pochettino left Espanyol by mutual consent in November and in the nearly 3 years there managed to win 49 of 146 matches as against Adkins winning 67 of 124 matches at Southampton.

Another club that thinks the only way forward is to have a foreign manager.

 

[David]

I don't think Adkins will be out of work very long, as he is 1 of the best English managers around.

Possibility for the Newcastle job is Pardew leaves or gets sacked?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I wonder if the weather later today and early tomorrow will see many more matches postponed, especially if a heavy frost occurs overnight. Are there many clubs outside of the Premiership and the Championship with under-soil heating systems ?

Absolute madness....successive promotions followed by the sack

 

[David]

There's a lot of matches been called off already.

With regards to the TPL, both League matches are off, and Southend v Plymouth (thankfully, as I forgot to make a prediction ) is also postponed (1 of 8 L2 matches postponed).

The Conference is fairing a bit better currently, with 6 games called off.

That's after 2 promotions in 3 seasons at Scunthorpe!

I am losing track of the last time that Hyde played, either in mid-week or weekend fixtures, as their good run that took them to ninth position was then stopped by two successive 1-0 home defeats.

well said, The Southampton Board should hang their heads in shame

 

[richw]

Nigel Adkins' replacement doesnt speak English apparently.He undertook a press conference through a translator. Hope he doesnt need a translator for training.
The BBC article has received over 2000 comments in 9 hours, unbelievable amount of commenting, and all against the boards decision

 

[balne-wonderer]

west ham had a penalty denied for hand ball that was pretty much the same as the one man utd did get. why does this always seem to happen at old trafford? for all the nation to see. nothing but old trafford decisions.

thats a ban for alladyce after those comments. no doubt.

and alladyce is charged for his comments. wow. given what fergie has got away with this season I find this sickening and very very sinister.

fergie can say what he wants. no one elsy can. blatant double standards. sad.

It was snowing mediumly up until about 6pm and now lightly. Temperature has been about -3 but traffic near me (no work today so didn't go far from home) has been terrible to the point where I was outpacing some cars

 

[David]

The Blackburn Rovers owners and directors must be breathing a big sigh of relief as they are no longer the biggest laughing stock in football. Instead, that honour now goes to the owner of Southampton.

In other news, Blackpool have reportedly contacted Nigel Adkins about th vacent managers position at Bloomfield Road.

 

[SS4]

At least the Villa aren't losing

My dad supports West Brom so I may be in an incommunicado exile tonight

 

[valenta]

I'm sorry, but to get beaten at home to Reading is unacceptable. A complete lack of tactical awareness from Pardew, taking all creativity off the pitch.
I'm going to have to say it. PARDEW OUT!

 

[David]

Look on the bright side Valenta, if Pardew does go, at least there is a decent manager available for once
