Torquay United Fans Forum

I think you're wrong. Even if we win at Taunton, we'll be 5 points ahead with one game to play. They'll have two (potentially 6 points). So if they win both of their remaining games (unlikely I know), and we lose on Saturday, then we will be relegated. So Downes is also right, virtually safe. Sorry...

I give up, I seriously give up. We are about to play one of, if not THE most important game in the club’s history and yet neither the club, it’s media team, it’s MANAGER or the local media seem to be bothered to figure out the ACTUAL significance of a win tonight!!! From Richard Hughes @ Devon Live ...

Exactly. I find the names being banded about hard to believe, but we can dream. The notion that someone wouldnt want a mega rich investor is beyond belief really. Yep, it’s naive beyond belief! Maybe if it was someone who was a “chancer” who might be able to make a “quick buck” here and there, we s...

I hope to God it isn't Chris Dawson. The bare minimum we need going forward is an owner who is at the very least a football fan. Dawson isn't and then you've got to ask yourself why does he want the club, we may have not heard the last about a new stadium. BTW other on Alan Merson's site he says Da...

A “predictable” reaction from some on here! No doubt it was the same for quite a few Wrexham fans when they heard the news that “Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney “ were interested in buying their football club. Why would they be interested in football? Well, look where THEY are now !!! At, what is c...

Time for Jarvis and Dawson to show some guts and get out there and fight on Tuesday and Saturday , bad knees or not - none of this ' They're not quite ready yet ' bollocks Totally agree. Time for these two to stand up and be counted! For the life of me I cannot understand why, as a football club, w...

And they have put that out straight after the TUST went public. Strange.... Absolutely. Hidden in amongst all the praise for the support of the fans there is that little “nugget”. Clearly in response to the TUST’s announcement today … but unlike with the TUST’s openness about those TUFC fans who ar...

In Downes post match interview he is honest enough to admit that our away form hasn’t been good enough all season - something Johnson would never have said. Similarly he is honest enough to say that he needs to reflect and accepts responsibility for that defeat - something Johnson would never had sa...

I am struggling to understand those who continue to defend the Osborne/Johnson regime. Ultimately the FACTS speak for themselves- under the period of ownership/management we have ended up in the worst position the club has been in for close on 100 years. Seriously, how can anyone defend that ???? It...

Time for the Manager and players to stand up and be counted. Downes needs to start by dropping the “shrinking violets” in other words Tomlinson.Collins, Ash and even McGavin and replacing them with the likes of Marshall (crap though he is) Lapslie, W J-D, DOA and even Hall. We need to start making u...

Can someone tell me what was the point of the so called "protest" by walking out after 60 minutes? I counted around sixty (so called) fans leaving. It looked like a load of sheep following each other. After the final whistle, a few blocked the exit outside the main offices. I would like t...

Hi Tralee, yep the routine at kick off was indeed mentioned!!! Obviously the idea is to get us up the pitch, but as GJ stated it “is never their intention for the ball to be kicked straight out of play, but sometimes nerves play a part”. He did also mention that he thought we did score a couple of g...

Thanks for that CP, really appreciate you taking the time to do that. On this comment I think 50/50 success rate on loanees would be incredible and I'm sure it is nowhere near that, I'm sure we can name a lot more duffs than successes. Hi Exile, I take your point, but have to say on this particular...

Well if Gary Johnson and Downsey thought they were going to get an easy ride at the forum last night - that notion was shattered with the very first question. One fan of 60 years standing, produced a prepared statement on a sheet of A4, bemoaning the fact that in his opinion last season was the wors...

Personally, I’ve given up on trying to make a call on what represents a decent signing for us or not, especially after the last couple of summers. Take last summer for instance- was I more excited by the signing of Corrie Andrews or Aaron Jarvis? Well, I should say that that turned out differently t...
