Dover supporters have obviously forgotten what was being said during their match commentary, and that was that referee Venamore was being praised for having a good game in a previous match earlier in the season.
I assume Dover won that match though.
It may be that DAFC might do an FM broadcast from Stonebridge Road, but on Tuesday night I will be down at Prenton Park supporting Tranmere who are going through a very poor patch at present.
However, I probably wouldn't have listened to it anyway because the Saturday broadcast was so biased and unexciting, that guests in the broadcasting booth quite often were disagreeing with the match commentators on various aspects of the game.
To be honest, I might have expected there to be a bias reporting on a 'home' site, but nevertheless, one would expect some degree of truthful reporting to be the order of the day. There was very little reporting on the match action itself, even for Dover supporters.
Again, I would also imagine that the commentary team are well used to guessing the size of the crowd, and when it was described as a 'healthy looking crowd', one would not expect it to be just aboput their lowest gate of the season, and then blaming it on the fact it was 'only a FA Trophy cup match'.
Where the commentary was correct was when they stated that the Darts were up for the match and treating it as such compared to Dover strolling through it as though they were expecting a league game. Certainly the Darts can not be criticised for Dover's lack of interest in the first half.
It certainly makes for an interesting return match, and whilst we accept the second half was very much a defensive display to protect our goal, the first half continued to see the Darts very much in attack mode even after scoring the early goal, to the extent the Darts were being described as the best team to visit the Crabble this season.
So, come on Darts, heads up again, and try and book ourselves a trip back down to Thanet, but this time Margate.
