It was auto correct when typed you dick go f*ck yourself sweet can’t stand your comments you weak little man wouldn’t say anything in person would you

Someone's angry, we just got 3 points cheer up. Anyone would think you're not a real fan.
Let’s meet at Chatham Mark on the 27th? I would prefer to be occasionally angry compared to just being mr negative due to probably not getting any action in the bedroom for a while and being a little frustrated 😂😂.

Seriously if you want to meet for a beer at Chatham let’s arrange it we could see you is a true Darts supporter and chew the corn

You know he won’t. He hides behind a keyboard because he is a social leper. An inability to have a grown up adult conversation. You can tell by the way he gets off through his negative personality. You have to feel sorry for him to be the way he is. I hope Mark has a lovely Christmas from his sticky keyboard.

Not a classic but sometimes you have to find a way to win and credit to the lads for doing that today.

We started the first half well playing some decent football for 10-15 mins but after that Snalbans had more possession, but didn't really trouble us much.
Second half we improved and on the odd occasion they did get a chance, Henly kept them out.

Overall a disciplined gritty performance and important to get back to winning ways.

MOTM - Three contenders for me, Henly, Tennent and Box.
Tennent very assured again at the back, Olly was our only real threat and chipped in with another important goal but i gave it to Henly. A couple of very good saves at important times and together with the penalty save was the reason he got my vote.

Going by the commentary, that was a game we didn’t necessarily deserve to win, but we’ll need a couple of wins like that if we’re going to make something of this season!

Henley’s decision making has often let him down this season so it’s great to hear him have a good game!

Psychologically, this was an important win. The rest of the top 6 won so this kept us in the playoffs going into a massive game at Chatham.

As for our resident grinch. Is it time to ban him yet? I’m with Billy on this one

Same thoughts really, the first 10/15 minutes we was all over them, then they stepped it up a gear and we started to struggle and could see them scoring,

Glad we got the win even if it was a gritty one but 3 points is 3 points, I am struggling to see how jones keeps getting into the team when we have dsane on the bench, I know he is juat coming back from injury but I would seriously consider replacing jones with him when he is ready,

Either way 3 points and Up The Darts!!

Didn’t manage to go today unfortunately but very glad we got the three points. Not to put a dampener on things and football is a results game so the 3 points is all that matters but I have a St Albans supporting friend and he said it’s the deadest princes park he’s witnessed and the football on the pitch reflected it.

How did Eze look?

Eze looked a bit out of his depth to be honest. Only a young lad though. Your mate might be spot on. There isn’t much to shout about these days. If it weren’t for Jonny today, we’d have been beaten.

Disappointed with the very unfestive welcome at the car park end at 2:40 this afternoon. The high vis decided that he would search my sons, 22 and 19, even though they were clearly attending the match with their old dad. The Dartford shirt and scarf might have suggested that we were home fans and I even greeted Scott, who was manning the turnstile by name.

We were told that the club had photographs of the supposed hooligan army that was due to invade Dartford today and that they would be denied entry. Not evident from the performance of the high vis that we were unfortunate to encounter.

I hope that the club is not going to make a habit of treating its customers like this just because there may be some undesirables rumoured to be travelling to any given match. Our civil liberties are being rapidly eroded by those in Government. We do not need our local football club following their bad example.

If I could say something that might quell your concerns - for today, at least …

I ‘work’ close to the stewards and there were obvious mixed messages filtering through the the lads n lasses working the external places. Especially at that time. Several people were alleged to have ‘infilled’ through an unmanned gate and there were concerns based on pre-match intel which inevitably upped the ante. I also saw some folk ‘unnecessarily’ intervened but it WAS in keeping with what was going on. I think today was an exception rather than the rule. I also spoke to a few stewards, they were also not best pleased with mixed messages they were receiving. Overall, I think they did a good job today under difficult circumstances.

Another unremarkable game. Could have gone either way, so well done Darts for grinding the win. Poor penalty from Wall - he is further beyond his prime than a bottle of flavoured water. Merry Christmas all 🌲

It was good to see us attacking in the highlights. Chatham up next and they are scoring for a laugh.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Interesting to hear that Wall was not on penalty duty but took it anyway just because he wanted to score against us .
That’s definitely pissed off their supporters.

Good to get a clean sheet and seeing a keeper starting to hit the confidence levels I thought we would see from day 1 of the season from him.

We always seem to be missing a few key players and I crave for a fully fit squad for the remainder of the season as when everyone is fit I think we can match most if not all in this league.

I noticed Dover managed to pull in over 4k people yesterday I wonder what did they offer to achieve that? Great that they got pumped 5-2 however seeing our attendance yesterday against a well supported St Albans side imagine the buzz of the stadium if we could get a crowd like that in.

The next game will be a tough one however I’m hoping we can get a result at Chatham it was a cracking atmosphere there last year in the rain and we won 2-0.

Somehow don’t think it will be as easy a game this year.
