for flip sake People talked about Ryan Lowe getting a hard time, but Darby gets the most from some people on here. Not a single person knows how much he's on, as far as a lot can see is that DD is only here for the money. He is so p**sed off that he cant play at the moment.

Smith had an affect when he played. Your in no position to talk about supporting strikers who work hard but done score Young Kelvin is Darby Jnr when it comes to golas to games ratio!!!! Also Darby only started 4 games this year and was sub i a few others - cant ever really judge it IMO

erm, correct me if I'm wrong, but at least Ryan lowe was fit enough to turn up and be slated. Darby WILL be on good terms, Rushden couldnt afford him and we beat off competition from a league 1 side. In all honesty has he been fit for more than 2 weeks at a time since he came here. Lowe was slated for his poor performances poor crossing etc... as well as the lack of goals scored this season Sam-the argument went look at the stats. well i look at the Stats on Darby and all i see is 2 goals in 17 games, thats firstly a) a s**te goal scoring record for this season and b) an even worse turnout record

John - I understand your feelings but -'I don't see what DD has done wrong' - I thought it was there for all to see,doesn't find the net often enough would be good enough for starters.

So if someone is injured its their fault they are injured or because he's injured he's been slated?
Darby might be on GOOD terms but no one knows how much and I doubt he is on what Rodgers was/is on and does he ever get slated for the amount he earns?
Look, if STFC want to pay DD x amount a week thats upto them.
BTW Darby 1 goal in 9 apps plus 8 sub. Rodgers 8 goals in 39 apps plus 1 sub.

As JP has said hes so p**sed of at beeing out as he wants to play for the club, and others i know at the club praise him for his dedication to get back

Dont think cos you guessed something its 100% true!!

We took on Howie when Brizzle Rover couldn't afford him nor Exeter who wanted him.
Darby will get himself a move as soon as he is fit, he does not want to sit on the bench, to say he is just happy to pick up his wage is laughable.

Darby is an injury prone liability
He has not impressed me when he has played, and he hasn't played enough to impress me
Ben Smith has impressed me in fewer games than Darby.

I don't think anyone really has problems with Duane Darby the person - seems a genuinely nice guy with his priorities in order.
As value for money however (and don't give me the 'play off goal' as a magic example which makes him worth the lucrative contract we gave him), he has been quite quite awful.

Calm down JP.
Darbs may well be the nicest bloke in the World, but as far as many supporters are concerned he's a liability on the wage bill.
Irrespective of whether he's earning 2k or £500 a week it's money that is being spent on someone at the wrong end of his career who appears to be injury prone.
That money needs to be spent elsewhere.

Also Rushden were on the verge of there finacial crisis its no wonder they could not afford anyone!!!! Darby has done nothing admitidly this season but has took more stick that people who have actually helped to make this season one of poor play, losing to histon and struggles in the league. I for one would have liked to have seen darby have a go when fit at a few of these teams this year, cant over the same time have been as inaffective in front of gola as Rodgers, Grant, Langers…

Dont get me wrong he is a lovely bloke from what I've met of him.
But you cant criticise the likes of Lowe, and Aiston for lack of final product, and praise GP for reducing Howies terms (because we havent the budget to keep him on what he was) then sing high praises about a player who was signed from a club who were in midtable in league one and had signed him up on a big contract, who has not provided value for money.
By the way it was talbot that forced him out the club, the best bit of business he ever did achieve.
Darby was one of several big earners to leave the club due the fact they could no longer afford to pay his wages.
Added to the fact we managed to persaude him we were a better bet than a fellow league one club.
At the age of 30ish im pretty sure most league players are happy to sacrifce the stanard they play at for better money (and thus maybe a more secure future)
Nothing I've seen or heard makes me think any different of darby

JP I You!! but believe me you are fighting a losing battle against the numpties who slag DD on here , but I ask you how many of them would say it to his face!!! Duane Darby, Goals, Goals and more Goals as I and GP have said before a fully fit DD in the right team would be and still could be a very valuable assett to this club.!!

I will say a couple of more things on Duane Darby then I will shut up:
What makes me mad is the way some people have a go at him or any player who is injured. Duane Darby is not your Darren Anderton/Steve Mcmanaman or even Brian McClair as he used to be..."as long as I get me dosh I dont give a toss if I play or not"...Duane Darby wants to play and for us. Personally I dont think he will again and neither do I think he fits GP's style of player.
If it was upto me I would have a word in his shell like and offer him a deal outta here.
