Torquay United Fans Forum

When Saturday Comes has us down to finish 20th. Predicted league positions voted upon by their correspondents/contacts for each club.Our correspondent has us down to finish upper-middle-with a strong finish.
Portsmouth tipped to be Champions. Greeks tipped to finish higher than us and the Gargs.

Wasn't he in that jungle thing wearing his greek shirt giving it the "my team are playing Torquay tonight and i'm sending them all my positive thought"? We beat them 2-0 as I recall. I emailed Ant and Dec to give him a load of abuse but never got a mention. I knew that was going to happen, so maybe I'm the psychic?

I think the Stanford Research Institute would be a bit more robust than Dave down the local.........

Tested by academics in a country where a total fraud with "psychic" powers can fill a room of several hundred people who are hanging on every word they say? That's like a League 2 player being proven to be world class by Mad Dave down the Hare and Hounds.

Talk about synchronicity!

I watched a very interesting program about Uri Geller last night. It was to do with him apparently working for the CIA, Mossad (Israeli secret service) and the Mexican government. Apparently he has also been tested by academics in the USA and was proven to have tangible psychic powers in a controlled environment.

He's still an arse though and I fondly remember singing the 'Exeter is full of shit!' song at him in ASK after a game a few years back. Very funny, although he didn't think so!

Yes that's correct, he's a total freak too.

He used to support Reading until Madejski stopped letting him in for free. One of the funniest most bizarre things I've ever seen, during Geller's 'prime' if you like was before the game at Elm Park everyone got handed a red card and a yellow card, at half time Geller came onto the pitch and through the power of positive mind or some crap everyone would naturally choose the same colour card and hold it up, naturally it was a complete mix match and total shambles and said cards were used as paper aeroplanes throughout a dull second half.

On the point of training we have had three different trainers during that time and most of them have occurred in matches both home and away. Its just as well we have a reasonable size squad but it doesn't seem like we can add many if any more to it because of the FAIR play rules which are anything but fair if half of your budget is on the injured list!!

This is the second season that you have had this problem. You need to call in an exorcist, or one of those Chinese prats that move all of the furniture around. :na: :na:

It must be a similar thing to Arsenal. They pick up so many injuries because if something in the way they train. A similar thing must surely apply to Rovers?

Matt.

Cheers Friendlygas I am sure we will be following you to but hopefully not far behind !

:~D :~D

Thanks Friendlygas. Looking forward to all the local and not-so-local derbies. It'll be a fascinating season, with many ups and downs for most teams before it finally ends, but I can't understand how yours managed to pick up so many injuries. Here's hoping you have better luck in the months ahead.

Hi Gull Fans,
Very surprised that so many of you are writing off your chances before a ball is kicked in anger as you have only as far as I can see lost two players which would have been first team regulars in Rene Howe and Brian saah and have signed Dale Tonge, Elliot Benyon, Harding and 2 wingers which I would have said was a weakness in your team last season.
I certainly see you finishing the season above Exeter but Plymouth might be above you as I feel the have mad some good attacking signings. I don't really see you struggling as there are afew teams who have not done a great deal in the summer Accrington, Exeter, Northampton, Southend, Morecombe, York, Dagenham and Bury are all teams that I can see us both being above.
We have started in a similar way to last year and have already lost Brunt, Broghammer, Clarke and Paterson to long term injuries to join Woodards and Clucas n the treatment table. We have had 7 cruciate injuries in the last year!!! John Jo OToole signed today which was a top class signing so in my opinion we have a top 3 side defence and keeper but too many youngsters who are unpredictable.
Think we could scrape Play Offs and wouldn't be at all surprised to see you round the same area as have the feeling that you will still see a couple of signings before your first game.

Should be another good game on Boxing day though not sure we will have such a big following as last season. We sold out of both Exeter ad Newport tickets within 2 hours of going on sale and Plymouth is early on and the first time for years that it is on a Saturday o should be a big following there. Much will depend on how we do.
Best of luck and I will follow your results with interest.
