Steven darby joins swindon on loan til the end of the season
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swindon_town/8562725.stm
At least the lad will get a few games under his belt
With all the class we have at the back and the fact that none of our full backs have been injured this season this makes total sence

Hope he does well and gets himself a move away from a manager who clearly doesn't rate him.

Stephen Darby is hoping his loan spell at promotion chasing Swindon Town will bring him a step closer to achieving his Liverpool dream.
The 21-year-old Scouser is with Danny Wilson's League One high-flyers until the end of the campaign and they are in a great position as they chase promotion to the Championship.
With eight games remaining Swindon are just one point behind second placed Leeds United who they face in a crunch clash at Elland Road today.
The Reserve team captain has played four games for Town so far and is thoroughly enjoying it.
"This is my first experience being out on loan and I feel like I'm learning each game which is great," Darby told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"The lads have been brilliant helping me get settled in and they've made me feel really welcome which has made it a lot easier for me.
"This is the right time for me to go out on loan and I need to play some games and get more experience. I spoke to the coaching staff at Liverpool who told me this would be good for my development.
"Swindon play football the right way and they are a good team.
"We are not putting too much pressure on ourselves and want to pick up as many points as we can.
"Leeds will be a tough game but it's one we are looking forward to. They beat Manchester United this season in the FA Cup and they gave us a tough game in the Carling Cup, so we know what to expect."
Darby made three appearances for the Liverpool first-team this season, his last being a substitute in the 2-0 Anfield win over Tottenham Hotspur. He was also a strong contender for the man of the match award in January's FA Cup third round draw at Reading.
He still has ambitions of making it at Anfield and intends to give it all he has got to achieve his ultimate ambition which is playing regularly for the first-team in front of the Kop and following in the footsteps of Jamie Carragher.
"I want to help Swindon try and get promotion and then come back to Liverpool and hopefully get a chance in pre-season and show what I can do," he added.
"I know it is tough to make it at Liverpool but it is the club I love and I want to give my best.
"The night before I came to Swindon Carra phoned me and gave me some great advice. I also got a text of Stevie Gerrard. That was really nice of them and it gives you a lot of confidence."

Stephen Darby (Swindon Town) – Darby played right back as the Robins came from a goal down twice to draw 2-2 with Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park. The first half was a pretty drab affair but the game came to life just before half-time as Wycombe had a golden opportunity to score. Midfielder Matt Bloomfield was clean through on goal and despite a last ditch challenge from Stephen Darby, the Wycombe player was calm and duly finished to give Wanderers a 1-0 lead at the break. Swindon got right back into the match early in the second half through Billy Paynter, but they fell behind once again after an initial penalty was saved from Alex Revell, he then managed to score after the resulting clearance was crossed back into the box back into his path, and he made no mistake at the second time of asking. An equaliser from Alan Sheehan set up a grandstand finish, and in the pursuit for an equalise Liverpool loanee Darby was substituted for Kevin Amankwaah but Swindon failed to get the breakthrough. They are now four points behind second placed Leeds with two games to go; they may have to settle for a Play-Off place.

The young right back started and finished a thrilling encounter between Swindon and Brentford at the County Ground. In a 3-2 victory for the Robins, the match swayed back and forth as the home side looked to keep their hopes of automatic promotion alive.
Prolific striker Billy Paynter put Swindon ahead early on in the match but the away side were allowed back into it on 33 minutes when David Hunt was allowed to finish from the edge of the area at the second time of asking after poor defending had seen his initial attempt failed to be cleared.
Danny Ward and Paynter again put the Robins into a 3-1 lead but they were pegged back once again when Ben Strevens took advantage from a stumble in the Swindon defence. Swindon now lie 4th on 82 points, 1 point behind Leeds in the automatic promotion position.

Liverpool defender Stephen Darby close to signing for Rochdale. Apparently he doesn't fancy Oldham.

This is what i found Rocco.
Liverpool defender Stephen Darby is said to be wanted by a host of clubs in the Championship and in League One.
The former youth team captain was on loan at Notts County last season and now club's are queueing up to see if the Reds will allow him out on loan again this coming season.
Championship side Doncaster and League One trio Rochdale, MK Dons and Oldham are all thought to be keen on the 22-year-old, who has had his passage to the first team blocked by Glen Johnson and Martin Kelly.

I hope he gets to a decent team in the Championship with a chance of promotion.He will do a steady job wherever he goes to.It's about time he moved on.
Ron1892
06-07-2011, 04:24 PM
Dont think he is ever going to make it into the liverpool team.He has not even got close to the first team in my opinion.He is at a age now, where he has to move for football or else he will be another player who will end up lost.He is a decent championship player too, and signing for the right side, he might get a crack at the premiership some day.His days at Liverpool i feel are outnumbered though,especially with Johnson,Kelly and now young Flangan on the right hand side.

Why are you sorry to see him go?
Do you know him or owe him something?
He was a player who didn't make it sure there are hundreds of them, Are you sorry for all of them.
There is no place in any business or football for feeling sorry,they are either good enough or they are out.
Sorry is for not coming home on sat night not for Pro footballers.

Guys Gleen is just more sensitive than us. He shouldn't have to apologise for it.
Maybe you should express your feelings through song Gleen?

He'll never plan for us.Good season with Rochdale in League one and he'll make the championship which is his standard i think.At 22 he isnt getting any younger either.
