Torquay United Fans Forum

happytorq - why shouldn't I say what I feel is right? Presumably the board employed Ling for some good reason, perhaps one being that he knew what he was doing or perhpas that he convinced them he could bring some decent players in. i happen to think that Zebroski and Stanley are excellent players ...

Hey i hold my hands up and humbly apologise if this is the case TUFC92 but onthe O/S Baker was quoted as saying we can't possibly reply to every applicant or words to that effect. So that is the info i have to go on. It doesn't say the board sent out letters to every applicant even if unsuccessful. ...

Even if we get a decent fee, what use is the money if we can't spend it properly? Currently our wingers are Stevens, Halpin, Macklin and Parkinson. Our strikers are Kee and McPhee. With 2 players for each position that means we're going to bring in a maximum of two more attacking players. Looking a...

Sorry Fonda but this scenario has happened to me on numerous occasions and although you get used to it after a bit it makes your blood boil to think you have been treated with such disdain and indifference. For what might be unimportant to one person might be the opposite to another, so i wish Mr Ba...

I've got to admit to swearing a bit at O/T and getting a bit aggressive but nothing that is overstepping the mark. That is one thing that impresses me about Torquay, the behaviour of the fans. If memory serves me right i believe we have had only 1 football arrest/ banning order since 2006. Don't wor...

Baker you are a lazy bastard and don't deserve to be in the position you're in. You are a disgrace. I have been in the situation of applying for jobs left right and centre and even attending interviews and getting no response and believe me it does nothing for self confidence. It just highlights the...

Sorry guys but i must admit to not knowing Mr Candy. Can someone enlighten me about the chap so i know for future reference. Cheers.

Interesting to see Rankine has gone to Aldershot. I've seen a bit of him at Bootham Crescent ( refuse to call it KitKat Crescent) and he looks a good player. Surely we should be competing for players like this with the likes of Aldershot? I don't know what their playing budget is but it can't be muc...

It is not wise to comment until we have our squad assembled prior to the season kick off but comment i will anyway! I believe that if M/L gets us within 10 points of a play off spot i would consider it a successful season. Yes i am optimistic and i still await news of players coming in but in losing...

ANYBODY PLEASE! JUST GIVE ME A FOOTBALLER!!

The Stats of the club over the last few years are quite intresting. Worth a look at to see how this seasons crowds have compared to others. http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/england.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Intresting to see in our first season in the...

Comments taken on board Nickgull but i had no idea that costs for policing, extra staff etc for more higher profile games are passed onto the consumer, in this case the Torquay fan. I find this secenario utterly disgraceful. Aren't we penalised enough as fans? I pay a set amount to watch mediocre le...

Actually, I can see Crawley being a real aggro match. Because they're a bunch of wankers. Chippygull, Happytorq, just let it go. You can't spend all your waking hours being eaten up inside by hatred for Crawley and their fat **** of a cheating **** manager! We all know that they are a load of crook...

Unbelievable!! As on the Benners thread, i agree with Ferrari again.Carayol, every time i saw him was shit. Tomlin had many games when he too was shit including the play off fianl but equally as many when he was immense like the away leg at Shrewsbury. I'd deffo rather have Tomlin than Carayol any d...

Agree with Ferrari on most points. Benners scoring record stands up at L2 level but he is a poor all round footballer. Not strong, not good in the air and not particularly quick either. A lot of his goals were either a scuffed shot after getting half a yard on a defender or tap ins. That said i'm no...
