You should be ashamed of yourselves. An absolute disgrace

Well said

I remember that one gateman ! Loved big Les and Coops up front

Glad to hear it

That's a cracker Dave .......!!

But do you prefer King Grifters like Tice & Farage or Braverman & any Tory conperson ??

I read on an almost weekly basis of named prospective purchasers of other football clubs. If they can release information into the public domain, why can't Torquay United?

Sorry but that is garbage !
The preferred bidder would surely go through everything at Plainmoor to see what they are getting into. I certainly don't mind waiting as long as we end up with the right people who can run the club sanely and not as the basket case it has been !!

Let's hope its settled soon or the National League could still kick us out if we are still in admin by the time of the AGM !

Jarvis celebrated with the players in front of the Yellow Army and it he looked as if it did mean something to him !

Really ? This is Torquay United that sort of thing does not happen to us.

RIP Kenneth & Bronson an absolutely heart breaking story.

When I saw the picture released with him wearing a shirt proclaiming his support for Torquay United I hoped someone would be able to give us a bit of background to that.
One of his neighbours was quoted as saying " will miss the football banter".

So so tragic.

They will be starters !!!

Cheers Brucie ....took me a while to write it but at least its a way of letting out the anger we all feel at the moment !!

I haven't got a cat to kick ............Oops that will probably offend the feline followers !

Its a joke !!

WHAT A TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT.......

I am not allowed to use the words that needs to be said on this forum as it may offend some delicate souls out there but that shambles which was billed as a football match had to be seen to be believed. Apparently we are a professional football club with a full time experienced management team !! Torquay United so totally outplayed for the first 20 minutes by an organised but part time TEAM. Only thing I can mention in the first half was Brett McGavins shot which cannoned off the post.

Defence : I sell 50/50 tickets and was amazed at so many new faces and so many tickers I sold 311 !! I couldn't believe how many turned up, it shows the potential of the club if we could ever get it right on the pitch but unfortunately how many will turn up to watch dross like that again ?? This is a club with a dinosaur in charge of the team who has a brain the size of a stegosaurus and a sidekick who is even worse. Supposedly a defensive coach when we keep letting in simple goals from corners ...three games in a row now ..utter dross. can anyone tell me what the flying flip the players are taught in coaching sessions Whatever it is it obviously isn't how to stop goals from entering our net !! And its not how to put them in the other ends net either !!

Midfield : The engine room of the team the heart of it ail. The link between defence and attack So what do we have ? Brett McGavin at least he can have a shot at goal and occasionally spray a pass BUT has the turning speed of a sunken Titanic and so slow to action anything because our management team cant formulate an attacking plan with built in options and players making forward runs. Nothing else is there. Lewis Collins so often flatters to deceive. Ethon Archer has some potential but that will soon be knocked out of him.

Attack : Yes lets use a solo vertically challenged inexperienced striker against the brick out houses called centre backs as it's so obvious according to our management team he is so good he doesn't need any help at all !!

The second half brought some small periods of hope with Truro City players throwing their bods on the line to block a few long range shots but it was mostly huff and puff with no end product.

Looking at the players named on the back of the programme there are 23 names and Osman Foyo who lasted just over a half hour on his home debut. EIGHT players out injured or as we don't get told anything about them maybe they have been captured by aliens out at Seale Hayne who the flip knows ?

If those players are suffering injuries they have not all been caused by opposition players kicking lumps out of them. Do we have a fit ( ha ha ) for purpose medical team ? It seems we get a lot of recurring injuries IT CANNOT BE BAD LUCK !

The management give contracts to players who are so injury prone to old or physically just not up to being a full time fit for purpose player.

So what with a crop of sick notes signed up the few remaining left standing ( not running ! ) are either not coached to be a part of a team or more likely no pooping good enough in the first place !!

Unfortunately " the board " think that this management team cannot be bettered !!

This club is completely wrecked and will not get better on the pitch until those numpties are out of this club one way or another.

Well said Hector

" Mel Hayman looked like she rather be anywhere else than on one of those uncomfortable looking chairs - almost wanted to say to her “blink twice if you need rescuing” as she surely doesn’t believe it. "

Laugh out loud moment !!
