Torquay United Fans Forum

The actual words were 'we haven't forgotten about you'!

So begrudgingly a thumbs up from spotlight this evening. A start I guess?

'Wokism' is the state of being 'Woke' - I quote from Wikipedia: 'Woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) is a political term originating in the United States referring to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It derives from the African-American Vernacular English expression "stay woke", whose grammatical aspect refers to a continuing awareness of these issues.'

I only came across this term about a year ago so join the club!

And there was me thinking it was something to do with Oriental cooking :whistle:

I remember her trying to drive down the lane by the grandstand after turning in by the Gulls Nest she didn't have a clue where she was going proving the fact she had never been to Plainmoor despite being a "local" sports reporter !!!

Re: 'the ginger slapper Natalie Cornish (sic). A face like a smacked arse and the brains of a rocking horse.' (davethegull2), it always makes me laugh that Natalie Cornah is quite often the local sports reporter on the BBC - she sounds like she smokes 50 fags a day and has done very little excercise in recent years!

What is 'wokism'?

The BBC have never supported anything TUFC. Woodacre and Fear were so GAWS focused it was embarrassing. Last time I looked it was their recent incarnation, the ginger slapper Natalie Cornish (sic). A face like a smacked arse and the brains of a rocking horse.

The BBC are too busy promoting wokism and protecting pedos. Feckem!

I remember one very wet evening and Fear came trundling across the pitch on his way over to the camera . He had a fi.e of stuff in his hands and he slipped up on his ass. Huge cheers from the popside. Everything blew away.

They didn't seem to ignore ECFC when they were in the conference.

On the contrary, in our first season in the Conference, BBC Spotlight made a very specific point of dropping coverage of our results, in favour of showing Yeovil's goals etc - as the Glovers had just gone in the opposite direction up to the League. Even though, Yeovil were also covered by the BBC Bristol area I think.

Of course, in our second Conference season we then went on our Cup run and met Man Utd, which resulted in wide national media coverage. At that point, they came back to us with their tails between their legs. Very satisfying.

But the coverage of Conference action was still very patchy after that.

Do agree, though that it is a consequence of a very marked Plymouth-centric approach by the Beeb.
