If there is a substantial snowfall overnight, they won't be able to remove the frost covers.

That's all that people are interested in these days - the way you look, especially women. Never mind what you do, or what kind of person you are. As long as you look good, that's the most important.

FACR1 Replay - Derby County Torquay Utd Mon 14/11/22

Last night, as on Saturday, we were shown that if you shoot from the edge of the penalty area, or thereabouts, you score. Trouble is we don't seem to have anyone who can shoot, and more importantly, keep the ball DOWN. Also, as on Saturday, our defence is caught square so often. We need to keep our ...

FACR1 - Torquay Utd v Derby County Sun 06/11/22

Conditions were very difficult, and with the heavy pitch, it was an energy sapping game. To keep going in those conditions, ,to be 2 nil down, and be the better team at the end, AND to score in the last seconds, more than proved that the Torquay players are fit, both mentally and physically. Bodes w...

Notts County v Torquay United Sat 29 Oct KO 3pm

Getting back to Saturday's game which is what this particular topic is supposed to be, 0-4 is obviously not a good score against, but many Torquay fans predicted a higher score than that for this match. Note that Notts County, in eighty eight minutes of open play, only scored once. It wasn't until o...

FC Halifax Town v Torquay United Sat 13 August KO3pm

Exactly Desperado, but the fans expect us to be top of the league from Day One. Not realistic in the circumstances

FC Halifax Town v Torquay United Sat 13 August KO3pm

I wasn't at the match yesterday, but reading all the reports and listening to the commentary, and the comments of the Halifax manager, it was obvious that we were outplayed ie. pinned in our own half for most of the match. The only reasons we didn't lose 4-0 was because of Halifax's woeful finishing...

TUFC v Eastleigh Monday 18th April 3pm KO.

Does anyone know why the pitch is sprayed so much before kickoff and at halftime? The water does not soak into the soil on these hard surfaces, and the players have difficulty keeping their feet. Is this done on GJ's orders to 'help' our play, or is it done at the whim of the groundsman to help main...

TUFC v Notts County Sat 9th April KO 3pm

Perhaps that game will put an end to all the stupid criticism of Little. What a difference he makes to this team, and his goals yesterday were class. Johnson has now got these players playing as he wants them to, and it would be good if most of them can be kept together for next season, with one or ...

Defense

On Saturday, if we had scored from all the chances we created, it wouldn't have mattered too much if the defence had let in a couple, as long as we had scored four or five, and therefore won the game. Our players, all of them, need to know the technique of how to hit the ball hard and low. These cha...

Defense

We need the whole team to be capable of scoring goals. That is what happened last season - we weren't reliant on one player upfront to do all the scoring. Goals came from throughout the side, and that's why we were successful last season, even the goalkeeper scored on one occasion! It's unrealistic ...

Torquay United v Dagenham & Redbridge Sat 8 Jan KO3pm

Excellent ref today. Very few free kicks for fouls, and no bookings.
The conditions didn't suit Torquay today, tired more quickly than D & R.
They played in the second half like we used to last season.
They always seemed to have a man over when on the attack.
