I'd still say that on the field we are a shambles. The first half hour tonight I think we touched the ball about 4 times. Uninspiring, boring, and awful.

Andy has made more comebacks than Rocky. :-D

Shave off that face growth Andy, you look too much like the infamous lorry driver from Bradford.

The most difficult thing to do when the going gets tough is to keep going. It seems the fanny faint hearted have already given up going, using fanny heart excuses.


Get a grip ffs !

well said cambgull, it so sad to hear these so called fans slag of the board and players, people like simon baker and thea bristow have brought this club back from the brink, we have one poor season in the last 5 years and all the moans and groans start, we all want success but we need to back the club not slag it off and vote with our feet, if you people want your club to survive then you need to get behind it, its easy to support the likes of man utd and arsenal from your chair but in these times your club needs you, so come on stop the negativity and support the gulls, i love this club as im sure most of you do. COME ON YOU YELLOWS!

Yes, we're doing sh*t. Yes, we're on an awful run of form. Are we a shambles? No! If we were a shambles we'd have to be falling apart from all angles, which we aren't. The problem is fixable and the players need a confidence boost and a change, not of tactics but of style of play. Perhaps even a spot of paintball which kick-started our season last year.

What we don't really need is this totally pointless Neanderthal slagging match. Arguments about a topic is fine, arguments about each other is just stupid. Grow up people.
:goodpost:

I am happy that the problems are only on the pitch. We have had times in the past where it appeared the very core of our club was rotten. I don't get that sense now.

That's actually a very kind offer BR and i have no qualms in having a beer with you and debating things. To say that after all we've said to each other is very mature and i can only applaud that. I accept i go ott but it's just my way of reacting to a given situation that i have no control over, it's not really an adult thing to do but it's the way my brain works a lot of the time. I am not intentionally a nasty person and if you met Bengull and myself and compared our opinons and views on things you would think there wasn't a hope in hell that we would both get on, we are polar opposites but get on we do and respect the others views. If i say Bodin is sh*t he will just say no he isn't and we'll laugh about it.

Oh and Dave SG, thanks for the message but i really am out in terms of posting my views, it really isn't worth all the aggro anymore. My recent postings have been to defend myself really and not to post any more of my views so technically i have indeed stopped posting. I'll do the prediction league that Scott very kindly offers us and i'll leave man of the match votes but i can't say any more than that. Thanks anyway Dave.

Brucie, thanks for the support! I never thought i'd sign off by saying that! :lol:

Cheers all. :scarf:

Just FYI, I have seen the team play this season.

Let's face facts Brucie, darling, we will rarely agree - it's clear you dislike me....so why not just be the bigger man and get your point across without insulting people....or is that the ONLY way you know how.

it is not helpful that fans are bickering and falling out, just as much as it is not helpful there are those that barrack, berate and slag off the team, the manager or individual players.

i have never found anyone insulting or unfair on this site. everyone is entitled to their opinion. this is a forum to air our views after all. some things are obviously said in fun or to provoke a reaction. fair enough. are we all too precious as not to see that. at times this forum is very entertaining. a lot of people do seem quite intelligent and have shown it in threads like politics.

seeing posters bicker and fall out over their opinions i dont understand.at times like this our team/club needs us more than ever. the negative needs to stop at the ground. on here air your views etc but surely a bit of positive thought is more helpful. as somebody suggested yesterday the club do read this forum so lets show them we are behind them, give them our support and give them some suggestions and tell them what we would like to see in a positive way.

we can pull through these troubled times. we have been through worse.

brucie wrote:The forum is a bigger joke than the fecking team. Lets be fair Andy probably has a point.
A pat on the head from Brucie, Is this the forum equivilent to the dreaded chairman's vote of confidence! :~D As ever Terry, your views have the murky accuracy of a blind driving instructor.

The forum, like the club is not a joke, just going through choppier waters at the moment, but the problem is only exacerbated when the more eratic members choose to rock the boat rather than steadying the ship.

It is not to say that we shouldn't be concerned, I know I am, but I also know that slagging off everyone involved in the club, excessively bitching on here, spreading unproven gossip, booing players and boycotting the games will ONLY do harm, there is just NO upside to it. If you're a glory fan, then now's the time to stay away, if you're a true fan then now's the time to cheer louder and offer more support than ever before.

And to Andy...I'm not rising to your reply, SG is right that it was getting out of hand and you need to be able to take things on the chin. I'm a reasonable person, but I do equally recognise unreasonable behaviour when I see it and I think that's what you've been displaying an awful lof of over the last few months. Although I don't get to many games nowadays, I'll happily meet you for a beer at the next game I'm at to give you a chance to prove your fractured internet persona is not the full picture...if you really do turn out to be a psychopath then the beers on you!! :)

Time to give it a rest now, ladies.

I like a good debate myself occasionally but the forum is descending into tit for tat insults and from now on I will delete posts that go this way or take threads off topic. Leaving you all alone to act like adults is obviously not working so you can have a taste of overzealous moderating for a while and see which method you all prefer.

Andy, I hope you take this as it's intended: Stop acting like a big girl and just stand your ground and defend your opinions without claiming you're being victimised, and then flouncing every couple of days. You either want to be part of the forum or you don't, personally I hope you stay but by continually flouncing you're just damaging your own reputation so man up and take the heat.

Yes I was obviously refering to you. As with several other posters who rightfully made reference to your horrible gloating and disgust as you announced that you had deserted the trenches I find you can transmit a fairly feeble summary of yourself. Maybe you're not so bad in real life, I've no idea, but you can come across as King of the Plonkers on here. I'm not going to waste much more time on this as I think it is a fruitless task, but what sums you up for me is how for months you have used some really below the belt, cowardly, insulting and unsavoury terminology to describe in particular Billy Bodin, more recently Martin Ling, as well as countless other people involved in TUFC and yet as soon as someone on here quite rightfully picks you up on that and is remotely sarcastic of you once then you spit the dummy, throw the toys out of the pram and cry foul saying you have been forced off the site, it's laughable. Cheerio, maybe try and get some therapy to sort out your issues and come back when you can give and take in equal doses.

Good on you if you are at Rochdale on Saturday, you have one ingredient towards being a good supporter by at least attending the match, you just need to work on a few of your other massive failings.[/quote]







Thanks BR

I know we are going over old ground and there are more pressing things to worry about regarding the club at the minute but i regard your comments about me a serious issue and a serious defamation of character for which there are legal channels to explore to protect myself.

Please find the unsavoury terminology i have used in my 4 thousand and odd posts to describe Billy Bodin. If you are referring to my matchday threads then these were intended to be written in humour a bit like the old fashioned fanzines that used to take the michael out of all and sundry but in a jovial manner. I have always said i think Bodin is a rubbish player and unless he improves i don't want him playing for us, how is that unsavoury? Have i said i want him put in a horse burger or anything like that? No.

Please find the unsavoury terminology i have used to describe Martin Ling. To my knowledge the worst i have called him was an arsehole for not changing tactics in October, i didn't call him an arsehole because i don't like him. There is a difference and i also called him a one trick pony to which i still hold this opinion. May i add that i do hope he recovers quickly from whatever illness he has that goes without saying.

Please find the things i am meant to have said about other people at TUFC. Don't quite know what this means but please enlighten me. To my knowledge i may have had a complaint about the lack of professionalism from the ticket office once , the lack of incentive schemes too and the robustness of the stewarding but nobody was ever personally insulted.

All my posts haven't been cowardly as anybody that i may have offended has the right to reply on here so it isn't a one way street.

Also for the millionth time, where did i say i have deserted the trenches? I was simply pointing out that what i had been saying was turning out be correct, i didn't say i'm not a Torquay fan. Again a case of misreading something and just going with what you think anyway.

You have accused me of certain things on here which aren't the truth and which do cause upset and stress and i'd be very careful what you accuse me of next, my inappropriate responses to you were the result of provocation and although inexcusable i have only issued you with personal insults and not a whole accusation on my character which you have just put out in the public domain.

For what it's worth at least you have the balls to come on and have a go despite your incorrect facts but you have tried to give a reason for your beef with me rather than the losers who just call me a sad b*stard and things. They are ridiculous and by doing that have proved they are no better than myself.
