Torquay United Fans Forum

Their youth team lost in probably the best comeback in football history.

With 30 minutes left, they were 7-2 up. By full time they had lost 8-9. Ouch.

Club in 8th tier had 18 year old on contract signed for premier league club under 23 academy cost them 335,000.

1) £3,000 a week?! What planet are you from mate? I doubt a single person on this entire forum is on 3 grand a week! Let alone an amateur footballer who probably works as a labourer during the week.

2) Which club exactly, which player and which premier league club signed him? You also understand the difference in rulings between signing an 18 year old youth prospect and signing a 28 year old nobody, don't you?

Even Brucie posts more actual facts than this, and he posts entirely opinions!

Sit down son, the grown ups will be along soon.

Very talented family as their brother plays for Exeter

They also featured on a Seth Lakeman album too, one of my favourite folk artists.

Serge Pizzornio from Kasabian is from Newton Abbot.

John Jansson, a composer and conductor who has worked with Stephen Sondheim and is working on the new arrangement of La Bohéme, the very famous Opera, is from Torquay.

Great result today, now all we need is a 9 year old Indian football stadium on a landfill site and we'll be sorted!

The individual game is irrelevant, the entire season was forgetful!

I think it might actually be the Yeovil game, also in the cup. I can't think of any since.

Shame it was ruled out for offside, but that pass from MacDonald was pure class.

Calamity for their goalie, first mistake he's made all day.

Get in Keating!

That made me laugh too

It doesn't get BBC, ITV or Channel 4.

In fact, the first channel I get is "Rocks & Co". I have no idea how far down the Freeview list that is!

So wait, Nicho doesn't drive our bus any more?! He didn't have to fix a flat tyre?

My whole life is a lie!

My aerial doesn't pick up BBC so I'm watching on iPlayer.

Must be a delay on my stream, read that 30 seconds before we scored!

Own goal, 1-0!

Hit the bar now, we really should be 1-0 up.
