Which match official is to blame for that?

Is this intended as an inducement for Brucie to watch a game live rather than on highlights???

If we fail this season then we can kiss goodbye to the Johnson clan for a start .
We got to believe we're better than the rest in this division. Because we are on paper.

Would definitely be better if it was on a Subbuteo pitch rather than paper (especially if Brucie could provide a myopic referee) as there would be absolutely no competition from any of the other teams in NLS (unless they played in borrowed kit) ....

You need to put a few commas in there to define the sense that you want the sentence to make, but we all know that grammar isn't one of your strongpoints, is it Teign? Nor for that matter is constructive comment; in fact, what strongpoints do you have? Surely you are not in the Brucie camp of uninformed dogmatism are you, old chap? (Bants …. just bants)

Is he quicker at delivering your half-time pizza ?

brucie wrote: ↑22 Jan 2019, 15:19 He didn't "give us" a penalty though did he?

He could hardly do anything else. Andrews has beaten man and is free in the six yard box. Their player sticks a leg out and brings him down. Stonewall penalty. Watch the ref he doesn't hesitate.

Bath Penalty - Brunt doesn't even have the ball, can't possibly get it. The only possible thing he can do is run across Hall and try and get a penalty.

Watch the ref for the second penalty - he hesitates. You can see he isn't sure, so under those circumstances he can't possibly give it. [highlight=yellow]The refs actually two yards from it.

Big decision - he panicked and got it wrong = Useless prick.

Closer than your eyes are to your monitor/tablet/phone/brain?

Hesitation by the referee may actually have been consideration or allowing himself time to make a judgement on what he had seen - not things that seem to be part of your experience. The referee may have made an error as the decision was a subjective one and with hindsight he may have changed his mind if afforded the luxury of countless video reviews from numerous angles. However, in this league you don't get scores of Sky cameras and rolling V.A.R. close-ups with views expressed by pundits who have played international football: you just get a jaundiced armchair video 'expert' who seems to think that the sole raison d'etre of match officials is to ensure victory for Torquay Utd.

brucie wrote: ↑21 Jan 2019, 11:49 We can't afford anymore refs like that buffoon either.

Just seen the highlights. Brunts dived for their penalty. Farcical decision

NEWSFLASH: Brucie the self-appointed armchair V.A.R. disagrees with unfavourable refereeing decision.

Typical snowflake generation, wouldn't have known a decent Torquay side in their generation,
Just get your homework done sonny.

As for the beer comment, when your old enough to buy a pint with your pocket money get back in touch, until then stick to your Maccy D's milk shakes.

Calm down and reach for the Bisoprolol and at least save your coronary for the last match of the season. A & E are overworked already and if you end up there it will be one less poster to take the p*ss out of - only joking ............. ( maybe)

Teigngull, of course we're 'bothered' about what Woking do because the last time I looked at the table they are the only team (at the moment) that can catch us. The majority of us fans can see this and that is why a thread was started about our rivals for the title.

This is a forum which is about opinions. The opinions of Torquay United fans. Your suggestion that Admin 'wipe this thread clean' is laughable. Your anger towards fellow Torquay fans is laughable. Yours is not the only opinion. Yes, of course, you're entitled to air your views - it wouldn't be a 'forum' otherwise but no need to shout. I suppose we can all thank our lucky stars that you're not a moderator on here otherwise all threads would be in caps, all started by you, all moderated by you, and all deleted by you because you don't agree with them.

Lighten up fella. Enjoy the football.

Be fair to the poor old guy - his piles are obviously playing him up and the strait-jacket is too tight. Surely you realise that he is from a similar 'old school' to the occasional poster known as Merse where one's words need to be CAPITALISED or in bold (or BOTH) to emphasise the superiority of one's views. Let's face it the forum would be impoverished by the absence of Teigngull and his ilk: homophobic and chauvinistic ravings are always much more entertaining than cogently expressed rational thought, n' est-ce pas?

Teigngull wrote: ↑06 Jan 2019, 00:42 Steady on ' Arry old chap, you're in danger of becoming a boring pedantic old twot if you're not too careful.
Bants man, it's only bants ffs.

Hey thanks Teign old boy, that's quite encouraging, as I thought that the pedantic old twots was an exclusive little cartel restricted to members like you and the virus previously known as Ellacombe Buhy (the one with an IQ of 67) as well as doyens such as Merse and Brucie. Can anyone join or is membership by invitation only? Does one require any particular qualifications? (I realise that a willingness to take a jaundiced view must be a basic requirement but is it essential, or merely advantageous, to possess an ability to pontificate on matters one knows nothing about?) Keep up the Bants, chin chin.

Teigngull wrote: ↑05 Jan 2019, 17:13 Yes probably Arry, sorry 'Arry.

It was when you were filling ( sorry again, using ) the glory hole.
So I decided to have a read !
So educational your grammars' bathroom, I can definitely see where you get your intellect from 'Arry.
Does it run in the family, may I ask ?

You may certainly ask but I'm not privy to that kind of information, although you must be posher than I thought if you know what bathrooms are for: I understood that all your droppings were deposited on roof-tops and car windows around Torbay. Nice try with the apostrophes by the way, but one is superfluous as my pseudonym does not need to be aspirated - "Ffs" it's not difficult to get it right (but I don't feel insulted) - and the other is incorrectly positioned as there is no plurality about either noun.

Teigngull wrote: ↑05 Jan 2019, 16:26 Ahh 'Arry
the [highlight=yellow]ultimate itch up the ass you know[/highlight] is gonna come back & bug your afternoon until you do the correct thing & wipe properly.
😁

But Teign I don't know you … or grockle for that matter: love the poetry or what passes for it - copied from a cubicle wall presumably!

grockle wrote: ↑05 Jan 2019, 14:40 IMO English is a "live" and "evolving" language, unlike Latin. As long as the prose can be understood by the majority, does correct use of grammar really matter? Whereas spelling someone's name wrong consistently is an insult to them and their families.

If words are used incorrectly it is not possible to know that the same meaning is ascribed to the written word by both parties. Teigngull may have wished to use the word "disposed" instead of the word "dispatched" or he may have been using the chosen word in ignorance of its meaning: this is conjecture which of necessity detracts from the point of him choosing a particular word to convey a specific meaning. Spelling on the other hand is generally less important (refer back to earlier writers of our 'live and evolving language' such as Chaucer and Shakespeare and you will observe that they frequently spelled the same word in several different ways - indeed the Bard was unsure how to spell his own surname.)

If I addressed you as "arsehole" it would be insulting to you, as it could scarcely be a typographical error, but if I inadvertently wrote your nom-de-plume as "grockkle" it would not denigrate either you or your family, and could be either the result of heavy fingers on the keyboard or a deliberate use of an alternative spelling or merely a simple mistake.

The point that appears to have passed you by is that Teigngull was being critical of someone else for incorrect spelling whilst misusing the language far more blatantly himself: less a Professor of English and more an erstwhile inattentive scholar (or a metaphorical pot calling a kettle black if you prefer).

Incidentally it could be an interesting theoretical argument that Latin is still "live" and "evolving", as it is an important ingredient of the English language as well as the cornerstone of several other modern languages: that might be the basis of a far more worthwhile half-time discussion than questioning the frequency of the letter r in Mr. Johnson's abbreviated forename.

Teigngull wrote: ↑05 Jan 2019, 10:48 Dave, why aren't you taking others to task when [highlight=yellow]they spell names wrong[/highlight] ?
ITS GARY, NOT GARRRRRRRRY Ffs.
Also Mr Owers WAS a useless manager for us but if we hadn't employed him at that time & [highlight=yellow]dispatched of[/highlight] his services when we did GARY JOHNSON would not be with us in the managers chair.
I am a great believer in fate & it was always destined to be this way.
Dave it's pain before gain .....as it's always been !!
Also it might be a little too late but I'd like to wish you a happy & successful 2019, all the very best [highlight=yellow]to you for[/highlight]
Teign.

Hot on spelling but not too strong on grammar: presumably you watch Countdown and play Scrabble as a substitute for inadequate education ...
