Slough v Torquay United 18/08/18

Dull and uninspiring. A full-time team showing no progression between games. There are inherent problems with this management team.

St Lukes Cup vs Cullompton Rangers

It is good to see on the OS that Owers considers Wes Atkinson good enough to extend his trial. Of all the players I watched during the game at Collumpton Rangers, Atkinson looked like he had potential. Athletic and with good spatial awareness and passing accuracy I feel he would be a worthwhile addi...

Blimey Nick, if even you think it's going to be a brighter future, then even I am even more optimistic now :lol:

Bromley v Torquay United Match Day Thread 12/9/17

Having not posted for a while but having listened and followed the commentary of each game, it's hugely disappointing to see the demise of such a terrific family club with such a loyal following, something the current management and board simply do not deserve. The cynic in me questions whether the ...

Rowe-Turner to Chester FC

Why is it that the O/S seems to be the last place you find news of players departures?

Torquay United v Wrexham (note Sat 7th Nov)

Surely it is about time this draconian way of handling the postponement was addressed. It's the guy on the train I feel sorry for, having paid for a ticket! - I travel from Taunton, not exactly up country but still at 140 mile round trip. The times I have turned up at Plainmoor only to find the game...

Torquay United v Wrexham (note Sat 7th Nov)

For the life of me I don't know why it is such a problem to make a decision and give fans a chance to save money and not travel. I understand the desire to want to play the game but I for one would prefer the game cancelled in advance as opposed to last minute!! Added in 1 second: For the life of me...

Torquay United V Woking-Tue 18TH

Regardless of the substitution fiasco, one of the points made was that this probably cost us the game as Briscoe was done for. Why has somebody not raised the point that at 70 minutes why is a professional player 'Done For'? Especially considering he was 'Done For' for most of last season after 70 m...

Ideas for Mr Candy

I really believe that the Chairman needs to issue her New Year message to map out the Club's direction for 2015 and how the Board can support the manager. Nick, I totally agree that for some weeks/months now it does feel like we are all passengers on a ship with no captain. This is no personal crit...

Dover.v.Torquay Tue 2nd

Listenend on the radio - hardly heard a Torquay player named in the second half. Part-timers who literally had nothing to threaten us with. 80 minute conceding goals again and then throwing it away in the 93rd minute. Absolutely shocking - can't defend a lead and Bowman can't score unless there is a...

Aldershot Town v Torquay United – Saturday 25th October 2014

Apart from the woeful performance - one of my biggest concerns is that we have players who clearly do not want to be at TUFC. At the game today for th first time ever at half time I saw Chapell and Pearce sat on the bench arms crossed at half time while all the other subs warmed up. They were then j...

Pre Season Friendly: Torquay v Walsall

Watched Cruise and Tonge against Yeovil and both were awful in all honesty. Certainly our weakest positions when these guys play them. Tonge was responsible for a number of goals last season being turned by pacey wingers - these are my only real worries at the moment!

Poke gone

Can someone elude to the fact why the communication aspect of our OS is so poor. Why is it that we consistently hear about signings and player moves from other sources i.e. BBC, Sky etc. before the official site? This was one of my major criticisms of the club last year. I would like to know the rea...

York City v Torquay United 25/3/14

We could be playing for 3 months with 15 players and still wouldn't score. The stats don't lie and quite how we expect Stockley or Hawley to score is beyond me. I agree with others, sooner the season ends the better. Just not good enough, simple as that!
