We should be proud ....

Now you’ve got me going, Mellow, didn’t we beat Gillingham at home 2 - 0 to confirm promotion one balmy Spring day?

Ah, nostalgia, that’ll help me through the night. They can’t take away my memories (I think), so I’ll slowly slip into reverie. sod reality, it hurts too much.

We should be proud ....

No,we’ll be the whipping boys for every team in that league, they’ll be up for it like there’s no tomorrow (which I feel is for me at the moment)

We should be proud ....

Well put by both CP and Mellow, To add just two items to the list on a day when I have a hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach: It’s not being able to get updates on away matches on the BBC sports page. It’s about questioning whether we are ‘UNITED’ anymore. I’ve been a fan since my maternal grand...

Not according to the club's own advertising hoarding above the Bench turnstiles, it was down as 'Saturday' earlier today!

Easter Monday, Torquay v Woking, 2/4/18

Having now seen the OS video, I have to correct my earlier posting re Reid's cross from the right as the defender sliced a clearance rather than it being a header. It doesn't affect my view of Reid, who can also be seen rolling the ball into the path of Romain for that one on one in injury time whic...

Easter Monday, Torquay v Woking, 2/4/18

Reid can't do right by some fans can he? His first real action was to bring the ball down the right side, cut in and send a vicious cross for a defender to nearly manage the own goal of the season with the ball only just clearing the bar from a point blank header. Alright, he did hit one high, wide ...

Torquay United v Sutton United - 20/02/18

I was shocked - yes, shocked - to see that the crowd was just over 1300. With 70 or so away supporters this means that just about 1200 United fans turned up. How many of those were season-ticket holders, I wonder. I fear for next year, for in the NL(S) I doubt many will buy season tickets; 500 aver...

Torquay United v Barrow 3/2/18

He wasn't the only one, yours truly did some jigs as well, my missus laughed her head off when she saw the highlights. I've run the Barrow version and ours separately and although they edited out the attempt to lift Williams into the family stand by their defender their commentary was even handed. E...

MOTM - Barrow

Romain (my MOM who ran his socks off with some lovely footwork) Dowling ( has a footballer's brain) Gowling (marshalling the defence - not sure about the penalty either) Young (looked like there was weight off his shoulders) Williams (who put in a full shift and drew some hefty punishment from some ...

Torquay United v Barrow 3/2/18

Correct I didn't, but didn't have to, work outside all week around Torquay, Paington and Brixham, know very well how soggy the verges and common land around the bay is, but it's a football pitch, that's had a lot of money spent on it, and now has exellent drainage. As said there's was little rain i...

Torquay United v Barrow 3/2/18

Hi forevertufc, you obviously haven't been out for a run with your dog this morning, I am surprised that the official site doesn't have an update as it really is soggy out there. The good news is that the sun is currently shining and my missus is wondering whether or not to put out the washing!
