Maidstone Winning Doesn't Help Us!
Have courage my friend, both results did us no harm tonight, so it's about time we stopped self harming.

Wonder if Canada's Richie Laryea is related to our once star striker Benny ! one of Webb's awful signings. Both of Ghanaian descent. Can't answer that one but your comment implying a lack of footballing skill got me looking at his record. Admittedly at a (then) lower level he scored in just about e...

Will we stay up?
Be very careful when posting stuff concerning Somerset Gull, he has special powers you now. He has been supporting Torquay for over 5 years before he was born!!!!!!! In view of this, I hesitate to point out that we will do incredibly well to beat Dover's points records in both of the last two seaso...

I'm with you Portugull. I thought he did ok when he had a short run out at the end of the Tuesday game (can't call it a match because that implies some balance between the opponents). His passing is a strength. Re Brucie's criticism of Andrews, he seems to me to have lost weight during his lay off.

Torquay Utd v Dorking Wanderers - 09/11/22 7.45pm
....... tonight we've looked piss poor/great ....... but overall very lucky point gained. I beg to differ. We were unlucky not to be 2 - 0 up before they scored out of the blue at the end of the first half. We were indeed awful for 20 minutes or so in the second period but somehow got going again a...

Torquay Utd v Aldershot Town - Tue 01/11/22 7.45pm
.... I'll explain the loan process in simple terms. Player A has recently signed a 2 year contract with Portsmouth and is paid £2,000 a week. Player A can't get into the Portsmouth first team and therefore agrees to join Torquay on a month's loan. Because Player A is still under contract with Ports...

A New Club Record? A strange statistic.
I've now checked back and in 56-57 we successively ran up a 7 - 0 v Swindon, 7 - 1 v Norwich and 3 - 0 v Crystal Palace. That makes 17 in three matches and we followed that with a 4 - 2 win over Aldershot. The same season we also beat Millwall 7 - 2 at home so that is three matches in which we ran i...

A New Club Record? A strange statistic.
What question are you asking? If it is does scoring 12 goals in 3 consecutive home games constitute a record then the answer is no. Or is the question doing that while bottm of the table? I think he means the latter! Without looking anything up I was at Plainmoor when Robin Stubbs scored five himse...

50 Years Ago Today TUFC v Plymouth Argyle
2-1 with goals from Welsh and Tearse. Eleven days later we beat Aston Villa 2-1 at Plainmoor. .......and, coming back down to earth, a few more days later we lost 5 - 1 at Villa Park in front of over 37,000 (luckily I wasn't there that time but I was just over a year previously and I prefer to reme...

Former Torquay United manager Frank O'Farrell has died at the age of 94.
Frank's funeral was at 10.00 am today. Apparently the cortege drove along Marnham Road for fans to pay their respects. I wasn't there but attended the requiem mass (at what is also my family's 'home' church) and I can report that Frank had a fitting send off. For those interested, the reading was ta...

Torquay vs Wrexham 05/02/22
A good win in poor conditions, our defence was a lot more secure with Hall playing so deep. Biggest traversty of the day, the so called crowd declaratiom of 3100, in the week we were told that Wrexham had sold out of their allocation of 1200 but just over 700 choose to turn up, I was sat in Bristow...

Tim Sills has a good write up in the Non League paper today as the team he manages is in the last 16 of the FA Vase and he dreams of Wembley again!
