Torquay v Hartlepool 28/10/17

Eastleigh at home is the stand out (and only) opportunity and who really welcomes a game on New Years' Day and it is not an attempt to denigrate Nicholson who has gone and needs to be moved on from by way of improved fitness levels, organisation and concentration for ninety minutes asap! I've not h...

Torquay v Hartlepool 28/10/17

Football is not alone in time management in order to retain the ascendency; cricket captains using fast bowlers to keep the over rate down, tennis players taking longer to get their serves in and thus take the momentum out of the game they are ahead in are just two examples and there are many more....

Torquay v Hartlepool 28/10/17

David Rock was the ref on Saturday; he has a reputation within the game as a 'players' man' and who I have seen have some outstanding games as well as the proverbial mediocre ones. I was at a game last night ~ Harringey Borough v Harrow Borough; FA Trophy replay ~ where a further injury in time add...

Well up to your usual standard of comment: please accept my apologies for using words that were too difficult for you to comprehend.

Torquay v Hartlepool 28/10/17

You certainly live up to your posting name; a waste of time and effort debating with you ~ goodnight! Dear Merse, it's a pity that you do not recognise irony when it stares you in the face and maybe you would learn something by looking up a dictionary definition of the word "debating". By...

Torquay v Hartlepool 28/10/17

Football is a simple game; it does not need knobs trying to make it a less simple one. The beauty of the beautiful game is that the laws apply equally to a scratch game played on dirt in Africa by bare footed players as they do to the World Cup Final played on the most sumptuous of turf in a large ...

Torquay v Hartlepool 28/10/17

arrywithanh: watch, or better still play a game of hockey, at international level - you will find that the umpires do not control the time. If you do not know what you are talking about: shut up or are you acknowledging that it is you that has no brain? You will find in hockey that the nature of the...

Torquay v Hartlepool 28/10/17

Football should follow the example set by most other (more enlightened) sports e.g. Rugby (Union & League), Hockey (Ice & Field), American Football, Basketball etc etc and have an off field timekeeper/clock which would pause whenever the ball is not actively in play. The time lost retrieving...

Fa Cup 4th qualifying round Aldershot v Torquay 14/10/17

The rather hysterical and 'flouncy' "Oh Christ, he's having a go at Gowling now, I don't know whether to laugh or cry" is what drew my attention as if no-one can be identified as being at fault with something that goes wrong. Gowling clearly was very poor in both of those goals conceded la...

Nicholson sacked 17/08

Tomogull you obviously do not recognise satire when it hits you on your head. You also cannot differentiate between different names when they start with the same letter : perhaps the admins can also check my IP and see that I only use this account. I can use vitriol if you wish without any need to s...

SACK NICHOLSON!!

Yes - vitriolic is a good word, Stefano ..... but I'm not sure that Arrywithnobrain would know what it meant. ;-) I agree with your post, except that I wouldn't wait as long as Christmas. By September 12th, when we play away to Bromley, we will have played 10 games - 5 home and 5 away. Virtually a ...

SACK NICHOLSON!!

I read about Melchester Rovers in The Tiger every week, following them up and down the country and in and out of Europe, when they were a legendary team and/or a team of legends, but this current set up is a shambolic shadow of a once great club. I haven’t missed a game in over forty years but I hav...
