Torquay United Fans Forum

Right, assuming i'm better i'm gonna go to Accrington. I've had a bit of a fit and ranted on other threads and now i've engaged brain. I'm just really p*ssed off at the minute, really angry, really frustrated and so upset at just how inept we have become and what it could lead to. I don't want to go into the conference again, it would be unbearable and so i'm panicking. I'm deeply concerned.

Despite what i said about the players taking the michael, i've got to keep going to as many away games as i can and hope and pray that we can inspire something. I've got to admit to myself that i think we will be relegated as i just can't see where some wins are going to come from but there are plenty of games left and until it is mathematically impossible we have to keep going. I don't actually think some of the players deserve the support we give them but what the hell, we've just got to keep going and keep it real. I'm dreading Accrington, not only the place and ground itself but because i am expecting the usual and i am just not getting any positive vibes that we can create a worthwhile chance let alone score and win.

It's our club and we have to try and motivate some of the absolute sh*te we've got in our squad to put it in for the last 12. If we go down they will be long gone anyway and we will be left with a shell of a club going to places like Alfreton and Telford and campaigning for 3 up from the conference. In all honesty i am totally bereft of hope and i don't expect the current lot to get us out of this but we still have a really good chance of pulling away. A couple of wins and it's bobs your uncle so yes i'm erratic, yes i'm confusing but i'll go against my principles as regards what i said about the players and wages inanother thread and i will continue to support the club through these bad times. What other choice do we have? Like i said, i expect relegation but what i expect and what will actually happen could be totally different, nobody knows. There are points to play for so let's just get the rants out the way and carry on supporting the mighty Gulls and hope that some in our squad stand up and be counted for once and get us away from this sh*t.

COYY!!!! :scarf:

Haven't been for a while. Mix of family and work commitments and, to be honest, a lack of enthusiasm. Given the the efforts of the club to turn things round and that it is a really, really important game, I'm going and I'm bringing a friend.

lets get behind them tonight and get 3 points. we need the whole ground to sing there hearts out, often there are to many quiet people, lets show alan knill that we are behind him and the team, lets do it for lingy, COME ON YOU YELLOWS! :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:

Was going to say the drum in the middle helped the atmosphere in the 1st half, did wonder where it went for the 2nd half,

and the negative chants were so LOUD that i couldn't hear them in the middle, its very sad though and not what we need right now, so the middle finger to them!

Have to create at atmosphere tomorrow for what will be a tough game and no away noise too, hopefully the kids in for free will help!

COYYY :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:

Quote of the day :)

[quote="mcgull1"].....And not join in with the kids who were down the end of the popside in the second half against Vale with a drum, singing 'We're going down with the Argyle' and loads of other negative chants. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Sure the players love hearing their own 'supporters' singing stuff like that....[/quote]

Torquay til July made I larf, but hardly helping the team is it! Also, popping those balloons, ****ing knobbers!

A lot of them don't know any better and wisdom and not getting carried away as part of a gang only comes with maturity. I agree it's not ideal for our players to be hearing negative shouts but i reckon when they come from a group of kids they'll take it with a pinch of salt anyway. It's more the grown men and older stalwarts shouting abuse that will have more of an effect on the players and it is perhaps they who should stay away as they should know better and they will have seen enough basement battles to see it doesn't work in the end. They haven't learned this yet though as they still do it but nevertheless, these young kids will see things differently in a few years time and at least they get their arses inside Plainmoor most weeks.

I'm not defending them just that cut them a bit of slack, i was a kid once 80 years ago on northern terraces with mates probably doing the same thing and i'm sure some of you were too. We get older and more knowledgable and there comes a point when you don't do it anymore, most of us do anyway.

what tossers, they should stay home and play with there toys :@

Seriously mcgull? Those kids need a slap! SG, you're big, bald and menacing, get to it!

Without stating the obvious, this should go without saying. If you're going along to the game, don't just moan, get involved and be a part of the solution not the problem.

Gate helped by the Vale fans but the home noise did spur on our boys espicially in the first half! :bow:

turn up again Tuesday, play the same system (but with a right winger rather than Jarvis)
shout loud and i wouldnt be surprised to see 3 points

:scarf: :scarf: :scarf:

I can't be there tomorrow but from the positive response to AK's appointment and the feeling of hope I would like to think the gate will be at least 2,500 to 2,800. If you are going then shout yer heads off, wave those flags and make some noise!!!!!!!!!! I'll be keeping tabs in the Angel Hotel in Grantham as I am at my mate's (3rd) wedding tomorrow. I'll have a few at the bar come what may, result wise, as that's all I can do from up there. As for relegation? that's not even a topic for discussion as it would end our club in the long term. It's just not worth thinking about so get behind the guys and be the :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: 12th man

I've amended my plans to come tomorrow, COYY!
