- โWelcome back to the North-East, Jordan, good luck for the rest of the season!โ
- Woah. Isaac Hayden has just donated ยฃ1,000 to the Paddy Almond fundraiser. I assume it's the same Isaac Hayden on loan to Norwich from Newcastle. What a gesture that is. ๐ gofundme.com/f/support-for-โฆ
- Lincoln's win is humiliating for Brighton and embarrassing for BBC and BT for instead broadcasting Southampton v Arsenal and Man U v Wigan.
- Jordan Pickford makes his England debut at Wembley, 5 years 9 months since his first game in senior football on loan to Darlington from Sunderland. His second game was a 1-0 defeat at Hayes & Yeading. Attendance? 550. Character building.
- Wonder if any Sunderland fans, as they're away tomorrow at West Brom, fancy a visit to Darlington to see a glimpse of their future No. 1 Matty Young. It's the final home game of his loan, he's been outstanding and can see why he's in the England under-19 squad.
- Darlington have now kept 5 clean sheets in a row for the first time since Oct/Nov 2014 when the sequence lasted 7 league and Trophy games. The goalkeeper each time? Peter Jameson.
- Stephen Thompson signed for Darlington in September 2012 since when he has been a mainstay in the team, been part three-promotion winning sides, scored of 94 goals and today made his 300th appearance. A Darlington legend. ๐ #Thommo300
- Six wins in a row for Darlington, 1-0 today away to Chester. Now second, one point off leaders King's Lynn.
00:00 - When you've got a match at 3pm and drinking cider down the park at 6pm... Darlington goalkeeper @Connel1 borrowed a cap from a fan during today's win during which he saved a penalty!
