Torquay United Fans Forum

Firstly, Rice, Campbell and Ajala . Thank you for putting in a shift today. Your commitment was there for all to see. This is not aimed at you The rest of the starting line up ...call yourself professional footballers :rofl: Good luck in finding a professional contract next year, but PLEASE don't ma...

That's a bias poll with a loaded question How can you only have 3 options and consider this worthy ? As an example I spoke to one fan yesterday who goes week in week out and thinks that Hargreaves should be given at least 5 years in the post and we should stop changing our manager. He may have a poi...

Whilst CH is very supportive publicly of his team, and probably quite rightly so, it is more than obvious that a hierarchy has built up in the squad that is unhealthy. Whilst Ling was not loved by all on here, he did instill a belief in his players that loanees were "a last result" and if ...

Have to agree Kit_robin. I was standing very near to his chance which let to the typical "how the hell did he miss from 12 inches" type of comments yesterday. Being so close, I can tell you Didier Drogba would not had put that away....the only people who would have, without doubt, are thos...

Sorry I stand corrected then. I was told by a Hemel fan after the match that he was chucked out for throwing a bottle....perhaps he heard it 3rd time around himself! No doubt enough Hemel fans saw the incident to get the chap who did this banned as IF Torquay or the referee report the matter the con...

I found out after the match that the Hemel fan ejected from the ground was thrown out because he chucked a bottle at Martin Rice

Just got back from Hemel. Don't really quite know what to make of that. A very heavy pitch, a low sun and a bitterly cold day, key players out and a makeshift defence made worse by Angus's injury. I am just pleased we are through to be honest, it was one of those days when a shock was a distinct pos...

Neil Warnock's supposive love of West Country football is complete bollocks. Ask clubs such as Bodmin and Tavistock who hosted Leeds pre-season a couple of years ago (along with Torquay). If you do not understand what I am talking about, dig a little deeper and it will not be long before your ill-ju...

Just a couple of points, firstly when a team receives a large transfer fee for a player it is rarely paid in one lump sum. Normally it is spread out over months, sometimes seasons. many seem to be forgetting the reason Luke Young was released from Plymouth, essentially maturity. CH has done a good j...

Just wondering what everyone would think had Benyon's "equaliser" against Bristol Rovers not been a yard offside. Would everyone then be calling for him to come on "to grab a last minute goal" whenever we were not in front. Benyon is a proven goalscorer at this level but has been...

RussianGull I don't think anyone said Luke Young did not put a shift in. He Did. But it was a very bad day at the office for him, he was lightweight and ineffective yesterday, essentially snuffed out by (a very effective) Kiddy midfield who totally over-ran us, and like many young enthusiastic footb...

Blimey that was sooooo frustrating but also, I have to say worrying We started the match with Thompson on the wing, no doubt to give Nicholson a run around and yet despite Kevin still being as slow as snail, we did not bank on possibly the worse performance I have seen from a right back in all my ye...

I saw this on ebay, no I am not the one selling it !

made me smile tough

Our team is non-league. Our players are non-league. Our manager is non-league. With a very few exceptions you cannot go lower in football and find professional players at a club.....these players are clutching on by the skin of their teeth to a full time job in football.....being released from a clu...

Just some (maybe) interesting anorak facts Some ex Torquay players we could meet again (I think) are Tim Sills (Weymouth), Alan Connell (Havant) and Kyle Critchell (Dorchester) If we draw Gloucester, they play at Cheltenham's ground Maidstone get crowds not too far lower than Torquay and would bring...
