It doesn't matter a jot what we think of a players performance we are not the manager in charge.
it doesn't matter much how they play on the pitch there is very little we can do to make them play better. Bar of course making a superb atmosphere to play to.
It doesn't matter a jot who is or isn't in the team. We don't pick it and so have no influence over who plays or sits on the bench.
What does matter is how we voice our criticism of who plays and what happens on the pitch
For the uninitated of you who may read this forum but have yet to notice where we are in the league. WE ARE SECOND
THATS NOT QUITE FIRST BUT NEXT TO. now I know that first is the prefered position but how many of you can tell me you have seen Torquay in second before this season.
I know what it is to have someone constantly moan about your not doing well enough for them. I know what it is to achieve your best and yet to be told that it was not good enough. time and time again
Well for all you whelks out there who are into that sort of thing. Can I please politely suggest that you go off and find another team to support who deserve your richly uneducated blessings where they will be no doubt apreciated.
Whether we or You like it or not. Martin ling is our Manager. Shaun Taylor os his second in command.
They got the job because they knew what they were talking about and had done it and been there before.
If you moaners have the same credentials and qualifications then you would have got the job had you put in for it. But you didn't. You just liked to sit back and snipe.
Every time we suggest a player is rubbish, shite or a miriad of other descriptive words we are not just putting doubt as to their qualification for being in the team. we are suggesting that Mr Ling is not qualified to name the team week on week.
Well with all respect I think that all you moaners out there are talking through your arses. Usualy It comes with large helpings of Beer and Curry. Don't bother with dragging out the usual old rubbish about we pays our money. It still doesn't give you the right to belittle a guy publicly who is doing his best on the pitch.
This forum is the place for that and even then some of us will get fed up with listening to your drivel.
We would rather find outselves living rough in the local park toilet with the druggies than have a night out with the likes of those who would do to others what they wouldn't like done to them. (well may be a little strong But you get my drift)
Whether you want to take note of it or not. Torquay United are near enough top of the league and still stand a chance of the Championship. Swindon can still slip up after todays let down at Wombley. We can catch them. Even if we don't and finish second it will eclipse the achievment of leroy in 2004. It will be the best performance by half of any United team for many a year.
Martin Ling picks the team week in week out. Shaun Taylor trains them week in week out. They know our players far far better than any of us. They pick them because they know they will deliver what they are asked to deliver.
To Doubt Martins choice of players this season is to doubt that you will wake up each morning or doubt we will still have air to breath. To belittle the players vocaly in the terrace is to say you know better and can do better.
Your job whether you want to acknowledge it or not is to back our players at Torquay United to the hilt.
Your job is to cheer the players untill your hoarse ( my throat is probably suffering from that now)
Your Job is to accept that the Gaffer knows what he is doing (is there not enough evidence of that already)
We are second in league two. there are 22 teams below us. Bristol Rovers, a team who were lauded as being championship material in the making are so far behind I need binoculars to see where they are.
We have never had it so good.
We couldn't do better with what we have at our disposal if we tried. Not that we need to that much.
Can you not for one minute in your miserable lives just be thankfull that you have a team worth shouting about. Can't you be thankfull for one minute that your team is as near top as is possible at the moment. Can you not for once in your lives consider the wondefull achievement that all the Club have put ourselves in.
And finaly. Can't you dumb idiots see that by abusing a player so publicly denies him the chance to make the best of himself as his mind will start to believe the crap you spout.
Can't you see that it goes beyond our club and if he is driven out he will spread the word that we are a club that gets on their backs and constantly barracks it's players publicly to the extent they don't want to come and play for the yellow shirt
How would you feel if you were at work and your boss singled you out in front of all your workmates (I dont wonder if you do have mates if your soo negative) and constantly went on about how crap your work was. How slow you worked. How poor your results etc.
NOW GET OFF YOUR ARSES AND START CHEERING US ON TO LEAGUE ONE AND BE THANKFULL YOU DON'T FOLLOW DARLINGTON,
WE ARE GOING UP WITH OR WITHOUT YOU. IT'S NOT IN DOUBT NOW . WE ARE GOING UP. START BEHAVING AS IF WE ARE.
And the rest of us. our job is not just to cheer our lads on. But if any of you see this moronic behaviour going on then jump on it. as the famous saying goes, "All it takes for evil to triumph, is for good men to sit in silence and do nothing"
RANT OVER.
