Torquay United Fans Forum

At Whitby it wasn't the referee (a 'local' from Bishop Auckland) but the team!

It's almost as if Huxtable goes out of his way to tilt against the local team. It's as if he runs opposite to the maxim 'say what you see'.

....... but in our euphoria at a good home win, it hasn't escaped our notice that Whitby Town suffered an 'Argyle-type' home defeat on Tuesday night, Wivel. I expect you, just like the unbiased Argyle fans, blamed the referee ...... whistle:[/quote]

An Argyle fan at work said their Tuesday night defeat was entirely down to the atrocious referee (the worst he had ever seen), of course I scoffed at this. :rofl:

But when he then said that it was a local referee who had been drafted in to save another ref from travelling in the appalling weather I began to have my suspicions as to the likely cuplprit. I asked if he knew the name and he said it was.........Brett Huxtable. :O

K.Moore (Obviosuly) Haven't seen an immediate impact like this in quite some time
Young - Worked hard all night, which with his ability changes a game
Sparkes - 2 assists, all round brilliant performance
Reid - Never stops running, team is much better with him in it
Mcginty - seeming to get better each game. composure in a centre-half is hard to find these days

Man of Match was definitely NOT the referee.

A number of Torquay players conning the ref with " dying " actors antics.

However a good open , entertaining game , so ALL the players should be applauded for this , on both sides.

Kieffer Moore. Outstanding.
Dan Sparkes. Excellent.
Luke Young. At his best.
Jamie Reid. Ran his socks off.
LRT. Did well.

How anyone can consider that Reid "worked hard" or had a good game is beyond me - his idea of closing people down in gently jogging vaguely towards people at half speed putting people under zero pressure. his decision making is poor and he constantly loses the ball. He started to play well when we were 3-0 up, but I imagine this was to do with them not bothering to close him down anymore.

Tough decision for 5th spot - Brendan was not over stretched but everything he did, he did confidently. LRT had a good game and let his winger know early on what to expect !

K Moore - a 'shoe in'
Young - getting back to his best and demonstrated a vision which others could not match
Sparkes - some of his second half crosses were sublime
LRT - after a wild lunge early on he gave an assured performance and also put in some good attacking runs and crosses
B Moore - commanded his area well and distribution generally good

K Moore - obviously
