Southport v Torquay United

That is a crucial win, never did I think that I would be so ecstatic over a hard fought 1-0 win over Southport, but the longer you go without winning, the harder it is to break that run so well done to the players, the continually magnificent away support and most of all to Nicho for his first win a...

Next Manager

We just have to get behind the new appointment, whoever it is. It's as simple as that. What's the alternative? Throw toys out of the pram? Boycott? Predict the apocalypse before the man has even stepped foot onto the training pitch? All those things will just be contributing to the problem. We get w...

Torquay United v Forest Green Rovers matchday thread

I agree with you, Dave. It's refreshing to go to Plainmoor and see some exciting, attacking football, Last season there were some matches were we couldn't muster a shot at goal. Greavsie has done well to create an attacking minded team, anybody who came to watch us for the first time yesterday would...

Torquay United v Forest Green Rovers matchday thread

Think going forward we are dynamic and exciting, when on form Young, Briscoe and Bowman are all far too good for this league. I think we are slightly unbalanced at the moment by Cameron being off key for a number of weeks now. His natural urge is to cut inside onto his strong left foot, I would like...

Torquay United v Forest Green Rovers matchday thread

Wouldn't blame Rice for the second goal personally. I think that at the height that it hits the net questions should be asked of the wall, couple with a slight deflection I think blaming the goalkeeper would be harsh. I would however point a finger at the third goal, a very weak punch in the build u...

Best goals seen at PLAINMOOR

My favourite ever Plainmoor goal is Steve McCall's goal against Scarborough in the playoffs in 1998- and you can find it on youtube. He puts it right in the postage stamp and the keeper gets absolutely nowhere near it. I've already come to terms with the fact that i'll never see a night like that at...

AFC Telford United v Torquay United - Saturday 27th Sept

Oh dear! For a match that had seven goals there was precious little quality today, certainly not much from open play. All seven goals could have been avoided by better organisation defensively, every time there was a set piece you felt like it was going to lead to a goal. After a particularly lacklu...

alan knill

Alan Knill's job was not made easier by seeing his transfer budget slashed dramatically just days after he was appointed, and the departures of key players, and experienced pros, Saah, Jarvis and Howe also left him with serious voids to fill. However, in the previous season we had suffered from a la...

Mansfield - The Final Frontier

I'm going because that reprobate, Andy, owes me money! I was always going to this one, with the hope of survival destroyed inside me weeks ago I travel with no hope or expectation. Win, lose or draw, regardless of relegation or that one final reprieve, I am just going to enjoy the day, after all it ...

Shaquille Coulthirst

I am not going tomorrow Andy, but after my epistle last night spreading perhaps a bit too much more gloom than I intended I felt it reasonable to counteract that by trying to glean positivity from the last couple of signings. We are in a massive mess, but at least the club are trying to rectify that...

Shaquille Coulthirst

Following my criticism last night of the club apparently not addressing our striking issues I feel it necessary to hold my hands up and commend the club for getting a man in. The budget only allows for youth loanees (if that!) so at least we can take solace in the fact he is from a premier league cl...

It's a long way home from York..

The journey home from York was a long and painful one. Parking problems meant we could not leave Bootham Crescent until 10pm, roadwork problems meant I did not get home until 6am. That 8 hours gave me ample time to try and sum up the feelings of resignation, despair, dejection and utter horror that ...

Promotion for Argyle?

Hi Gullscorer, Its irrelevant who is in charge of that ship, the name of the club is still the same. Plymouth Argyle FC failed to pay their bills some years ago, Plymouth Argyle FC are reaping the rewards for not having to pay what they owe in full some years later. Yes, well done for James Brent fo...

Promotion for Argyle?

Got too big for their boots, made wild, unrealistic ambitions that they couldn't possibly fulfil, entered administration and ended up paying 0.07% of what they owed to the businesspeople they owed it to. Ruined countless lives of honest, hardworking people in the process. Still giving it the big one...
