30 years old, 9 clubs in 12 seasons, never established himself as No.1 at any of those clubs. I'm not expecting any great shakes if it is him.

New goalkeeper on Monday to be unveiled as Mark Halstead, released by Morecambe fc. Been trialling at Oldham, but been informed he's on his way here When the above quote was originally posted Mark Halstead's Wikipedia page did indeed say he had signed for Torquay. Now several hours later that has d...

Hmmm - I wonder if there is any truth in this 'news': https://the72.co.uk/241945/sources-mansfield-town-striker-jamie-reid-wanted-by-torquay-united/ Jamie would make a great partnership with Danny Wright There is absolutely no quote in that article from anyone associated with TUFC or even Mansfield...

Wikipedia vandalism.

The score would have been 3-1 to Torquay had this incompetent Official not disallowed 2 perfectly good goals by Kyle Cameron. Even some of the Pools Fans are saying they got away with it because of his decisions. It would never have been 3-1. Had we been leading 2-1 Covolan wouldn't have gone up fo...

Its quite unbelievable that this referee has been promoted to the football league. I'm wondering if the referee was simply over awed by the occasion, in which case means he is totally unsuitable for promotion. Referees who have made bad decisions in the past have been sanctioned, usually being susp...

In reply to Culmstockgull. Dave Philips was part of a consortium out together by Steve Breed. If those people had not joined that consortium of which Phillips became the chairman there would be no TUFC today. Several groups at the time considered taking the club on but when they opened the books the...

I don't think the referee was bent simply because if he wanted to fix the game he would surely have been more subtle. Disallowing what appeared to be two perfectly good goals is simply too obvious if he was bent.
I think it was sheer ineptitude on a grand scale.

All well and good praising Clarke Osborne, but this club's fortunes really turned around with the appointment of George Edwards in place the Geoff Harrop who was completely out of his depth. The club has looked more professional ever since.

Hopefully, Sunday will see us regain our place in the FL and we won't have to go through all this again.... well, not at least for another year when we get into the L2 play-offs. :keepie: But we won't have to go through this again even if we don't win on Sunday. The reason we are doing this is beca...

Chelston is most probably correct. We didn't play any friendlies against Burnley during Robinson's time at the club and he did move to Scarborough in 1997.

Deep joy, at least it's taking your minds off of the inevitable ' after the lord mayors show ' feeling I truly expect us to be feeling at around 3pm on sat

I'd say that was you saying you wanted us to lose so you can say "told you so".

He'll now go off crying to auntie Merse on BTPIR like he does every time someone responds to his idiotic posts on here.

Why? We won at Chesterfield earlier this month without Boden, Wright or Whitfield.

A little bit of context. Since we joined the Football League back in 1927 we have only finished 2nd or above on three occasions: 1956/57 Football League div 3 (south) 2nd 2018/19 National League South. 1st 2020/21 National League Premier 2nd Why are people moaning, this has been one of our most succ...
