Apparently the coach broke down? Anybody else heard this?

Yes - players arrived about 10mins ago in taxis. Kick off put back 5mins

Sutton 1 Torquay 0, after 4 minutes, following a poor clearance by the Torquay defence..

This whole evening just has the feeling of being a disaster. Plastic pitch, a side we're expected to beat but are actually decent, coach breaking down and now the early goal. Would be one hell of a turnaround from here, but I'm not hopeful.

Basically we are being outplayed by a better team. Actually thinking of leaving now.

Better team winning with a better approach to using this pitch. The ball seems to spend longer in the air when we have than when they do with resultant mis control when it bounces. They are playing it on the floor but to be fair we couldn't be that bad again in the second half.....surely.

The ball was in the air way too much on Saturday!!

Astroturf is difficult to play on, the ball bounces on it ridiculously, only way to play on it is on the deck, which is what we should be trying for anyway, we cannot play long ball football!

McGinty or Gerring if the crap commentator can make his mind up - Sent off

Disallowed goal, then red card and a penalty conceded. Only a serious injury away from the full house.
