And you shouldn't trust Hayman either..... As a matter of hard facts I know little about edwards other than his association with osborne, similar on hayman, but she has been in place at the club for longer than both the former names, it is not a great leap to think that with both of them in post th...

WhatsApp Group?

No, that is what we do on this forum. Totally agree, while this forum very occasionally becomes the home of the conspiracy theorists, the deluded or the weirdos from the BTPIR they are ususally shut down very quickly by those with factual knowledge or close conenction to the club with more knowledg...

TorquayFans Prediction League

In a season of complete mediocrity there was always something to look forward to with our own fantasy league of pundits, thanks for you season long hardwrok.

Next season.

As much as I like Aaron Downes, I feel if he is told to carry on next season he will try and re- sign as many of the squad as he can. I don't imagine he has a massive amount of contacts either. Too much of a Johnson influence on his coaching. too. I think Downes is in a dificult position, yes, he h...

FA Cup replays scrapped from next season

Another lifeline gone for lower league and non league clubs. Didn't Exeter draw away with Man U and earn a reply to save their bacon? Traditionally Cup replays have been seen as a chance for smaller clubs to earn substantial extra revenues. League Two side Newport County, who had a fourth-round rep...

Reflections on the 23/24 season

The departure of Shaun Donnellan seemed to result in a drop off in form in the New Year. I liked Callum Dollan who gave good energy and would shoot on sight. Completely forgot about Dolan, never went out on loan again after us, he was similar to lapslie but on steroids and a good shot on him, got a...

Next season.

Think Lovett is good enough for this league. Ash can score goals ( 36 in the last two seasons - how many do you want ? )and works hard, but ridiculous playing him on his own up front He needs a strike partner Despite people moaning about their legs Hall and Moxey have been excellent in the defence ...

Reflections on the 23/24 season

Other than this saturday's carnival atmosphere game which for all I have no doubt will be more in relief than anything else, I wonder how this season went so horribly wrong, we were short odds to be champions or at the least honourable runners up, no one to touch us, full time squad,too many good pl...

If only it was that simple, there may be a confidentiality clause between buyer and club until they have done due diligence.

Taunton Town v Torquay United Tues 16 April KO 19.45.

Don't wish to be pedantic but if you check you will see that a win and a draw could be enough for Taunton to survive if Eastbourne lose their last match away to Braintree. Personally ,I would like Taunton to survive in this league not least because its a short away trip and saves on travelling cost...

Taunton Town v Torquay United Tues 16 April KO 19.45.

Did I enjoy the win, no, I aged ten years, the pitch was a cross between the somme and a beach, not condusive to our way of football, after watching the endeavour of the lads last night I am now more than certain that we threw in the towel before the Yeovil and Bath game, we knew we could not compet...

Agree 100%. Whoever it is, be it Brewdog, be it The Range, be it Poundland, we're all going to have something to moan about once they are announced...and that is the crux of it... WHEN they are announced. All this speculation and rumours is doing my head in. You have to question the motives of thos...

That's exactly the wrong approach though, that's what causes problems for clubs. You have to check the reasoning and intention of anyone that is buying your club BEFORE they buy it. Just look at Bury, Oldham and more recently Reading. Know who they are, then support them! We may wish to check them ...

Goodness ,we are quick out of the traps to condemn someone that might not even know about torquay united let alone buying the club, same goes with brewdog, I bet the negatives are being typed up as we speak. Who ever buys the club , let them at least sign the paperwork before we start destroying the...

Positives from today, the yellow army who were totally amazing,the rest of it was worse than hopeless, if the team are on their coach and wondering whether they deserve their wages, you do not, perhaps boyd and Hall and archer for his non stop game, the rest of you were should collect your P45's, be...
