Radio Devon and the demise of the BBC

Now it's been announced that the BBC will cease to be a forced tax and will have to compete for customers. Do we, Gulls Fans, give a flying monkeys chuff about the demise of Radio Devon? After decades of contempt for Torquay United, they are about to get their comeuppance. From Chris Fear and Dick W...

January Changes.

I think you've just exposed yourself as the narrow-minded, knee-jerk, fickle tw@t we all know you are. FFS, Gary Johnson is, by far, the best man for this job, given the tools. Has he got the funds? Only he knows, only he will know how to use them, only he will get the best out of this situation. I ...

January Changes.

I'm amazed that the narcissists are even acknowledged, such is their attention seeking nonsense. Dawlishprat and his side puppet need to wind their necks in. This is not the time for undermining GJ and the team. Let him get on with it. There is NO better Manager than GJ in this league. We don't know...

Torquay United v Dover Athletic Sat 13 Nov KO 3pm

Having watched the "highlights", AL was clearly peeved by the reaction of the fans and reacted. His 2 goal performance stuffed some humble pie back down the throats of his critics. He has to rise above this sort of thing and use the energy as motivation to perform even better. Imagine the ...

Havant & Waterlooville V Torquay United Wed 20 Oct KO 19.45

Short memories from the limp wristed hanky wringers. Fickle fans with the spine of a jellyfish. GJ will sort this out. He is the best man for the job, by far. In case you hadn't noticed, football has its ups and downs. We have a bit of a down, right now. That can all change in a couple of games. The...

Havant & Waterlooville V Torquay United Wed 20 Oct KO 19.45

Absolutely for real. We are not going to win it, rarely do well in it, and it's a distraction from the League. The Premier clubs don't take it seriously by fielding under strength teams. It's not the competition it once was. There is no romance of the cup anymore.

Havant & Waterlooville V Torquay United Wed 20 Oct KO 19.45

Oh, for goodness sake! GJ needs our support more than ever now. There is NO better Manager at this level. We've lost some key players and we have yet to find a blend of replacements. I couldn't give a toss about the FA Cup. GJ WILL turn it around. He does not need to be undermined by limp wristed ha...

A Message to Gary Johnson

Gary Johnson is the best manager in the division. He was a c88thair away from adding another promotion to his CV last season. GJ has more nouse in his fingernail than some of the more vocal forum members here. He will sort out the problems and turn it around. Yes, we have not started well and listen...

Notts County v Torquay United Sat 28 August KO 3pm

Cameron has become the latest pantomime villain. I'm sure he is big enough and smart enough to know it's just football banter and will thrive in the role against us. Football isn't a tickling competition, and players can handle it. I can remember when Robbie Savage played against us in a pre season ...

Altrincham predictions.

We owe Alty, big time. The 5 points they, deservedly, took off us last season cost the Title. I expect a GJ first half hurricane, smashing their resistance. 3-0 at HT plus 2 more in the 2nd half. 5-0 to the good guys. A Danny and Dan brace a piece with a stunning free-kick from Jake or Armani to com...

Transfer talk.

With, so far, two quick outs. I think the club will announce some good news fairly quick to steady the ship and calm the nerves. The season comes around fast and Divs 1 and 2 start back soon. That puts the pressure on players decisions. News should be fast and furious over the next 10 days. Wouldn't...

Next Season

Can't wait for the new season to start! I think the big lesson to learn from the last campaign is that we have to scrap for every possible point. We let too many easy points go at home that would have put us over the line as Champions. 20/20 hindsight maybe, but true nonetheless. Would I take a play...

NO to Masks and NO! to The SAG Clowns.

These people need to be out of our club. SAG Clowns have deliberately sabotaged our home advantage. Enough is enough of these jobsworth TW@TS!
