D.A.F.C Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Didn't Cardle absolutely knock the f**k out of Jamie Adams down at Somerset? Maybe that's why we've not signed him, incase he mixes him and Wilson up. Pretty sure he got sent off at Sommerset for this.Then at eep Adams tried to do him and had to go off injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty much crew cut all the time he was with us. Suits him. Declan McManus has had the worst barnet so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video evidence proved Cardle was right to thump him and that Adams should have taken his beating like a man. What a terrific club we are at times when it comes to being creative with the rules. You're mixing up the incidents. Cardle was sent off for "elbowing" Murphy in a league game where Hopkirk scored the winner, it was later overturned on appeal because Murphy had came up and nipped the back Cardles arm. The one where he decked Jamie Adams was a seperate game at Somerset that season, he wasn't sent off for it nor was he later sanctioned for it which was very lucky for Cardle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure we played Ayr about ten times that season. Seemed like it anyway. The first game at eep was the first time I’d seen a team actually setup to try and injure another side. The tackle on falkingham was a straight red, assault. After that they just steamed into any challenge and although it wasn’t bad this allowed for the tackle on Fordyce that kept him out the game for months. BRE got his nose burst and even their second goal was a foul. Still raging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Anyone got a picture of when we had both the old and new floodlights still standing? The old set were stupid-crazy high. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Didn’t know there was an issue with them but obviously they need maintained. The tannoy is in dire need of being sorted.

It's hopeless in the NW but see when the stadium is empty and your standing in front of the tunnel its perfect, they really need folk out looking at it during a game as I'm sure they have upgraded it and it's still completely useless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also used to flood in the corner at the away North stand end.Have to remember we played reserve games and probably did some training on it as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
