Darts 1 - Gulls 2

The start of a good run in the league boys

I was there for the 8-4, managed to get out of work early, straight on to the M25 at Reigate, keeping everything crossed that we’d make it!

Thanks for your replies, very interesting. Definitely Bamber’s Right Foot! Some hilarious things in it, the TUFC Subbuteo team was just brilliant! Alan Hay was just the empty base, Mario Walshe had a ballet tutu, Scott Colcombe was about half the the size and John Matthews about twice the size! I sh...

Going back in time to that great day at Wembley in 1991…. I believe Blackpool were second bottom in March but could have won the title had they won the last match. Yes that was obviously a phenomenal run, but it shows it can be done!

We all want to cheer the team on but it will get harder and harder as the poor results mount up! I don’t have an issue if the players we have aren’t exactly out of the top drawer either, we’ve had some fairly ordinary ones over the years! But, it’s what appears to be a lack of effort that gripes! Is...

H & W 1 - TUFC 1

We all Gary J has had a reasonable career in management, several promotions but tempered with relegations too, which is part and parcel of operating at the level he has done. May be a crucial player or two move on, the budget gets reduced or in the case of Yeovil they punched way above their weight ...

Every now and again a superstar is plucked from way down the pyramid, fingers crossed it’s our turn this time!

Three Bridges are very local to me, Isthmian 1 side, I saw them against Chatham Town (Isthmian Premier) last week, 2-4 defeat. Two divisions between them and us, firstly how has it come to this?! Secondly, the pace at that level is way off NLS.

Hopefully he can make the step up!

Confidence boosting win v Bath City, hoping we can keep it going TUFC 2 - Yeovil Town 1

I think Tomlinson would benefit from having Hall alongside of him, he’s learning his trade and Hall will keep talking to him.

Reading the game and positional awareness buys you that extra yard.

No idea how to call this, let’s hope for a reaction!

TUFC 2 - Bath City 1

I do agree with you on the point of the goalkeeper making up his mind and diving one way or the other. If you have Alan Shearer or Matt LeTissier facing you, you are unlikely to get near it, but as you say at this level they are not all perfect penalties. Stand your ground and see, if it’s in the to...

Re their number of home games, they’ve had some pitch maintenance done, completed later than expected I believe.

H&R 2 - TUFC 1, which grieves me

At least Mr Downes thanked the fans and apologised for the performance, unlike we all know who. Noted he said we didn’t turn up, but reading the thread, several say we did turn up but we just aren’t good enough. Mr Johnson, please get in to the loan market to not just bolster the squad but improve it!
