Potential Buyers

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...

Tonbridge Angels v Torquay United, March 16 3pm

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...

Points deduction

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...

Points deduction

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...

Protests

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...

Q&A with Gary and Downesy.

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...

Q&A with Gary and Downesy.

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...

Q&A with Gary and Downesy.

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...

New Signings for the 2023-2024 Season

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...

Recruitment since the Play Off Final …

Just spent some time looking at our recruitment since that dreadful day at Ashton Gate. We can all bemoan the players we have lost in those last two years but the quality of their replacements have, I think we can all agree, has not not been at anywhere near the previous level. Leaving aside loanees...

Chesterfield v Torquay United, 7.45pm, Tuesday 18th April 2023.

When you see their line up …. it’s little surprise that they are streets ahead of us tonight. The like of Palmer; King; Mandeville, Colclough, Dallas and McCallum have all caused us problems, and I think have scored against us probably, for all their previous teams. Was always going to be tough! 😒

Scunthorpe United v Torquay United, 3pm, Saturday 1st April, 2023

Totally agree. If we had started the season with this squad we would have been comfortably mid table at least. The likes of Lawrence, Dawson and Nouble and to a certain extent Stobbs and Collins have improved us considerably. Unfortunately though it is the “loan” players in the main, with all the pl...

Gateshead v Torquay United - 18th March 2023

A hard earned point, but not really enough, from what I gather, Gateshead probably deserved more...But GJ tonight, come on, is he for real??, You've signed Dawson and Stobbs KNOWING they've hardly played this season, and then you turnaround and moan about it??, well if you knew that, why get them i...

Gary Johnson, stick or twist?

Do you think GJ will stay if we are relegated? If it’s looking increasingly unlikely that we’ll avoid the drop and the manager leaves / will not be retained then why not cut the losses now and give someone else a shot? I agree. Regardless of what you think of Gary Johnson it really doesn’t matter n...

Ex-Gull watch

What a day for Jamie. Starts on the bench and scores 88th min penalty. Yes, great to see that …. and didn’t he enjoy the moment! It got me thinking about our former players and how good some of them were, particularly when you watch some of the FACup ties and see how so many have featured in the 3r...
