Donny losing

Just gone one down...a very fortunate goal against the run of play.

 

Against the run of play? They’re being ran ragged.

 

Two down now....don't know why you should say ragged...outshot Charlton 7 to 3 up to the goal and hit the bar too.​

 

This should be about the most standard play off result this year.

 

Usually the team in 6th are the in form team but Donny have ambled into the playoffs in terrible form.

 

Got to feel sorry for Donny fans.
Loads of money at the club and in Doncaster - big town - potential for a good support - shi.te football club.

 

Donny didnt have a prayer against those teams in the play offs.

 

It will be good not to have their supporters on their fan forums " fixated" over Barnsley FC
and it will be "sweet" listening to Donny Dereks monotonous drone on Radio Dee Dar, after
they get "tonked" at the Valley in the second leg, that's if he phones in that is. Having watched
the Sunderland v Portsmouth game yesterday, if Charlton can hold on to their lead, you would
have to fancy them against either team at Wembley.

 

Wouldnt mind Herbie Kane at well next season, loan or permanent.

 

Donny fans are the most deluded I’ve met, look down there noses at the rest of south yorkshire clubs and us in particular. More spice in Pikeytown than Sailor Sids. Play up Charlton.

 

Gutted now Donny we’re favourites,really fancied Charlton too but never bet

 

That’s not just Donny fans.
That’s how Doncaster people are.
Generally snobs.
Not at all like folk from Barnsley.

 

I don't feel sorry for them. We've felt sorry for them before when they were bucket rattling, but they soon forgot that when their cheesy grinning chairman kept showing his obvious dislike for us. They're a fanbase in his image.

**** em. They've had their two points off us this season. Let them live off that.

 

Designer awnings?

 

Finished 1-2. Doesn't surprise me. Charlton ended the normal season one goal against
worse off than us. We ended up conceding 39, so Charlton are defensively very strong
particularly at the Valley. Incidentally, I lived in Donny for the first thirty five years of my
life. I was very proud to be raised in a working class community and can honestly say,
I never ever met a single snob in all the years I lived there. At least everyone I knew, used to
get out of the bath to go to the "bog" !! Talking about snobs, I've never come across so many
than in West Yorkshire. For some reason, some people think that they are Gods gift. They live
in reasonably nice areas with his and hers cars (all probably bought on the " Chucky" ) and walk
past you without a word , with their head back as though they've experienced a nasty smell. Where
I used to live in Donny, if you went to the local shop it was an hours job, because everyone you
passed on the way there and back would stop for a chat. South Yorkshire folks are the salt of the
earth- trust me.

 

Well the Donny people I know and have worked with are far from being snobs. However, In footballing terms they do have a massive chip on their shoulders regarding us, but like I used to tell them, it’s really a compliment to us as they consistently fail to overtake us in the footballing pyramid. Like our other neighbours Rotherham, they may be a bigger town in size and populace, but when it comes to our respective football clubs they can’t touch us. Not being all Dee Darr here either as I don’t harp on about it repeatedly.

 

Neither do I, reading their forum they were so willing us to fail for automatic promotion. Indeed, some were hoping we’d face them in the playoffs. Had to remind them that they’d not beaten us this season and the play- offs often are completely different to the league encounters.

 

Best of luck to all teams in play-offs. I don't take particular satisfaction in any team ******* up. I'd prefer Charlton to win but that's personal preference. Thats nothing to do with Doncaster as a place. It has a lovely market, decent transport links n' some nice boozers. Me n' our lass go there every year n' stop over for our aniversary because we love Donny races. It's a cracking night out too.

I'm all for rivalry and wotnot but I leave the place out of it.

 

We go back " home" regularly because my wife's family all who originally are from Hemingfield/Wombwell, live over there, having moved from Barnsley in the late fifties for work. We still meet up with her family, who still live in Barnsley for birthday and the occasional wedding celebrations. Being regular visitors/shoppers in Barnsley itself, to me there are a lot of parallels in both Towns, in that both have suffered a degree of hardship due to the demise of the mining industry and the long lasting effects that that has had on the people and each towns prosperity. For example the house I lived in over there, was easily worth the thick end of £ 27k. My son had Perthes disease at the age of nine and the Council gave me a grant to convert my house to ensure that during his period of disablement, we could keep him at home instead of him being hospitalised. It was stripped of lead piping and replaced with copper, totally re-wired, tiled suites upstairs and down, new
fireplace and gas fire, windows, storeroom, garage, every room re-plastered, an extension with a new kitchen etc. I ended up taking £18k for it , mainly because it was a dialysis patient I knew, that was awaiting a transplant if she could have a home with a treatment room that made the offer. I could ill afford to lose that much, but following the strike it was up for 14 months and we didn't get a solitary offer in that time. We bought a drum in West Yorkshire at just short of £50k, so things were tight when we first moved. My wife took her Dad on a nostalgic visit to Wombwell where he was born, a few weeks ago. He was shocked saying it looked to be "run down" from when he lived there. He had a similar reaction when she took him into Town for his dinner. Sadly my home town is no different. I dont make any secret of my political leanings. I am all for the teachings of my Christian upbringing re- love thy neighbour as thyself for Gods sake and until we get a set of politicians in power that share those similar ideals, I can't see anything changing, any time soon. The majority of Towns and Cities in the North in particular are really struggling to provide vital services and maintain the roads and
buildings in their various communities.

 

Treat everyone else as you'd like to be treated yourself. Although we all have our moments
