Alpine Joe wrote:Unbelievable stuff Fletch...what a service. I'm clutching at straws now but was Manse a little late reacting as he didn't think the ball was intended for him ?
Either way water under the bridge now. Manse still remains my favourite player & in the light of this startling 'video evidence' I'll have to alot 80% of the blame to Danny after all.

I wonder who will make an approach for him now? I can't see a league 1 club wanting him, so maybe he will end up back here?

Brucie, the reason Ellis wasn't picked is down to Branston who much preferred to play with Robertson alongside him, he (Branston) felt that Ellis was continually out of position and wasn't a good enough marker.

Southampton Gull wrote:I'm sure now the agony of defeat is lessening he might feel less inclined to stand by what he said but you're still intent on calling him a f**kwit so like I said, that says more about you than him.

Southampton Gull wrote:I think it's pretty pathetic to jump on smithy for his opinion that they pissed him off. He's a regular fan, he's made plenty of trips to see us when he was at Portsmouth Uni and is committed to going as often as possible. If during our biggest game of the year he gets pissed off by "day-trippers" why shouldn't he say it on here? It's just his opinion.

My own opinion is that I'm happy for as many as possible to follow us to any game but I can certainly sympathise with his feelings on it.

Incidentally, before the game started it was like a morgue in WU103, I stood on my seat to start a song to try and get others to join in and an old guy behind me tried to pull me off it and asked me to keep quiet. I found it quite funny to be honest and explained that I was just trying to get some singing going and asked if he saw the Shrewsbury game on tv. I chatted on and off to him and asked him to attend Plainmoor to give it a go because like a lot of us I'm sure he'd get the bug and I'm sure smiffy would have done the same even though he'd rather not have been sat amongst them.

Calling him a **** for being honest enough to say what he said says more about you than him to be honest. It takes allsorts Fletch, the very point you're trying to make is lost in your attack on him. I've got a lot of time for your opinions, even if I don't always agree with them, but this time I just think you're being a bit of a plank. I'm sure I am at times as well and usually I get told pretty quickly, but most of the time I'm just pushing people into a debate because even if I seem to totally disagree with them I might just be trying to get them to share more than they might have intended. I don't have a problem with you at all but that doesn't mean I can't disect your views when I choose to

Southampton Gull wrote:I think someone must have nicked Fletch's normal spot, he seems mighty angry at those who attend regularly

Fletch - I think you will find the valuation goalposts moved once 'we' went public on the clubs offcial website (via their forum on this site).

I don't want these people on a regular basis. They ruined the experience for me and a lot of other torquay fans

The daytrippers fu*ked me off all day and ruined my day. I would obviously take them regularly because we need the income, however I do feel they ruined the atmosphere at old trafford and contributed massively to the sh*t atmosphere

Richinns wrote: Matt - I don't know if it is intended but sometimes you come across as totally disrespectful and ignorant of others. There is no need for personal attacks - especially as none came your way for the potential loss of the Ross Hannah signing because of your actions.

ferrarilover wrote:Maybe. It would be nice to know that they have a plan going forward. At the moment, we are at a crucial time in the season, we are already behind for having been in the playoffs and we have no guiding hand with PB gone. We need someone to come up with a plan, and damn quick, otherwise the holiday period will be over, and the real bidding will start in earnest and we will find ourselves without Branno and Eunan et al and with no real idea of how to replace them or with whom.
