40 thoughts on “Dover & Out: The Team That Forgot How To Win”
My team when i was a kid was like this. Pinner town. We went 2 or 3 seasons without a win losing 99% of gamesWe drew a game 1-1 against a good team and half our team was in tears celbrating on the pitch at the end. The other team was like wtf lool
The problem is the young players, I’m sorry but we nearly got promoted few seasons ago when our following was big big. All players then were older , stronger and had a lot more drive. Until they start getting older players in who wanna strive to win. There just gonna get worser and worser. I hope jim or manager sees this comment and puts it into perspective so I can come back to the crabble and celebrate instead of wasting money getting beaten by St Albans or someone shit like that. SMH
Amazing story. Not enough has been produced on the incredible rort that happened with money during COVID. There are some people in the game who at a minimum should be out of it, if not in prison for misappropriating funds. The people who just look out for themselves when times are tough are the ones who burn things to the ground rather than create legacies. Well done to everyone involved in this club. The tough times may last a year, or many year but you have to keep going. As they said early, you don't want to be a Bury and have that community lose a key pillar of the towns identity.
Very nice story and documentary, however i dont understand the choice to include segments following their goalkeeping and really focusing on his TikTok career like even showing clips of him filming himself and making a tikok when he himself says that Tiktok is just on the side and his real passion and career is football. I also feel like that entire segment had absolutley nothing to do with Dover Athletic FC and the story this film is telliing.
Last season was shit. But we're still here. Better to be relegated and spend a few years rebuilding than going bust the same way Bury, Macclesfield and most likely Southend have. COYW!
Hess is well known mostly for taking Gillingham to the top 10 of Championship and playing in the sides that got to the play offs. His management is pretty no nonsense but his players just weren't performing. The points deduction didn't help but some of them looked like they have an ego and not fully putting their all into the team
Great, well made video about grass roots football. Shame This film is not shown to the old boys club( The F.A.), so more of the money from the top league's can be shared out.
This is why non-league football is the BEST! I'm American, but love English non=league football (my team is Weymouth), but it's amazing how these non league teams are able to survive with a payroll less than one Premier League player! But the players, fans, and communities get on, and there's a stronger community bond with these non league teams than with top tier teams.
Funny comment by Dover's chairman about foreign owners not wanting to invest in a small club like Dover. I wish I had the money to invest in Weymouth. Non league football isn't about raking in tons of money – it's about the community! As for the Premier League – they have no problem sending young players to this level on loan for experience, but how about sending money to this level to improve the facilities?
Tick toker is a selfish plonker. George's [17] Mum definitely let him bunk off way too much & fronts him his pocket money at request, "Mum I'll buy you Mansion when Chelsea signs me – can I get a 100 pounds for the weekend?!". If yelling won games promotion would beckon loudly. Oh well.

seems fitting the club is struggling financially when the chairman and manager are wearing rolex’s and driving bentleys 🤦♂️
Make copa 90 great again
Super interesante

Very charming video

Up the Darts!!!
Compare the "Fairy tale" of Wrexham to the reality of this.
This film says so much more than anything "Welcome to Wrexham" could about real football.
Fantastic documentary. Really shines a light on the situations of the lower level clubs
Respect to the manager for sticking with the team through the whole season.

Could we please get a story on the state of Southend United at the moment? A historical club on the verge of extinction.

Wrong manager completely for that team
Even at national league level you can see the egos on some of the players. Astronomical.
And they were completely shite
Another great documentary but that keeper with his silly smiling Bollox on tic tok. What a weirdo. Never make a proper pro. Self obsessed.
"1137 or something like that"
Love the way the manager handled the season. Never gave up on his boys.
Big up dover, battled well at many places despite being relegated early, from a shaymen.
From a Celtic fan this is PROPER football hats off gents 👏🏻🍀

It's insane how you're willing to create amazing documentaries time and time again and then willing to show them for free.
Great Job!
really good
"its a poor town" Wrexham ain't exactly Monte Carlo
my mate supports Dover also

What's the song at the beginning? Can't find it anywhere
I've always thought Hessenthaler was a top bloke!
Southend United fan.

Good luck Dover 👍 💓
To think just a few years ago they were knocking on the door of the EFL, being around about the play offs every season
Amazing documentary!!!!

Can't believe Nicky Adams is still at it. Well played lad, a true Bury boy!
