Re: injuries

Good news if Billy is back but please Mr Ling dont dont resort to the easy option of 4 1 4 1 using Lathrope. I am sure Howe works far better with a 4 4 2 otherwise he gets isolated, very very frustrated and then gets booked or worse still. For that reason alone Mr Ling please use someone up front wi...

Re: Barton and Fleetwood

Thanks for that so far;I just dont get it though; surely a 12 match ban is just that even if he wants to play for Harpenden Colts Tornadoes; my son would 'ave him tho!
If 9 matches are Premier add ons then change the rules quick

Barton and Fleetwood

Watching Sky Sports News and the inference is that Mr J Barton may not just train with Fleetwood Mac but may play for them to get round his 12 match ban.
How is this possible and I dont imagine we want to play a team bolstered by a thug on out first outting in the FL?

Re: Torbay Council planning to restrict parking around Plain

We are talking about a Council so useless they put Parking meters up on Newton Road where there is virtually nothing down there apart from the Hospital and a few garages... and We are talking about a Council so useless they put the pay station for the ERIC in such a place that you have to stand in t...

Re: Torbay Council planning to restrict parking around Plain

I come down to Torbay probably 15 times a year and I must admit to being surprised that there is a Transport Planning Group; there is certainly no evidence of that in the road system that purports to serve the bay. I used to work on the Football Specials in the 60s and 70s from Brixham so how about ...

Re: Hereford United v Torquay United - 5/5/12

Please lets pull one out of the bag this afternoon; we will grace league 1 and maybe get beaten more than we win BUT Crawley and Southend are the 2 teams this season who have cheated their way to where they are. The level of play acting from both would have made Simon Callow blush. Time for Eunan an...

Re: AFC Wimbledon v Torquay United - 21/4/12

Managed to get into the ground yesterday thanks to a very nice womble and a spare ticket. I wish I hadn't bothered. I know its probably because a small squad is tired but wow that was dire. Even more dire than last week and certainly worse than Barnet. Maybe Bobby is tired and forgot the rules of a ...

Re: Buckle for Luton

But isnt that just the point .....PB's arrogance will continually be his undoing. Yes he does have coaching ability and he could certainly outhink a fair proportion of other team's tactics given the team that he had. But when the chips are down (as they rarely were in his TUFC days......few months i...

Re: Buckle for Luton

Luton have an amazing fan base for a BSP club; we went to see Luton play in the preseason friendlies and they had over 5000 on the evening we watched them play Palma so you can understand by that scouser has gone with the resources he has. I am sure PB could spend all of their money on creating a ne...

Re: Barnet v Torquay United - 30/3/12

Son and i went last night for our annual league visit to Barnet; tho we often go there to watch Arsenal reserves when they play someone decent. I had built O'Kane up to my son but he was kept quiet and with Mansell and Lathrope being kept busy the normal passing game was rarely there. When the passi...

Re: six days left...

I have a friend who is a Reading supporter/employee and he knows that Eunan has been watched by them BUT of course all of a sudden there may be big money in the coffers at Reading so bringing on a talented youngster may not be part of their plans now if you can buy expensive experience to ensure the...

Re: Nathan Craig

I dont understand from the 'triallist' status as to whether he can play league 2 games;can he be in the squad for tomorrow, has he travelled,might he play? Having said that it would be sad to knock Steven's confidence whe he has started to show real form and composure but Craig impressed a few peopl...
