Who stays? Who goes?

Maybe still some concern re his serious knee injury and it’s likelihood to cause an issue. Just a thought . Yep all guess work. Perhaps Gareth Law advised that Youngy should be offered no more than a 1 year contract because of that knee. And as a consequence Owers now sees his best player walk out ...

Who stays? Who goes?

It could have been hard work to even persuade him to sign that one year contract. If I'd been his agent that would have been the very most I would have advised him to commit to. Now he can bargain a better deal for himself with a League club, as they don't have to additionally shell out a transfer f...

New signing Rhys Healey

Dave He hasn't been back to answer my reply to him where he totally misread my statement about Osborne and Masters. Obviously doesn't have the stomach to face militants ;-) My hands were shaking too much to lace my DM's up properly. I'd complain to Admin about TUST bullying.....if they weren't also ...

Osborne Sells Up..... To Masters?

Merse Has he said ~ as twitter/facebook was supposed to be awash with ~ that Osborne had sold up? No he put a question mark after it Can't agree with you on that Merse :) . On my screen there's only a question mark as to the buyer, i.e is it Masters ? Nothing questioning the actual selling side of t...

The next General Election: who will you vote for?

Dannyrvtufc4life I've turned out to be not a fan of this Tory Government, but I think blaming them for spending money on NYE fireworks instead of funding the NHS is a step too far. As Remainer May's biggest cheerleader the last we knew, I'm startled to learn you're now 'not a fan' of a Government in...

Always pronounced 'Hours' by every commentator during his playing career, so I'm certain that pronunciation is the correct one.

We waited days, then weeks, but it ended in Owers (geddit ? ;-) )

arry
I had it on very good authority that Ronnie was literally nailed on, yet oddly it appears he walked away... although, would you blame him??


It was probably that literal nailing than convinced him to walk....even if it did rip his jacket ;-)

Phoenix club, start planning now

Not wishing to take you Phoenix fans off topic, but I'm sticking with Lingy's version that Thea told him he was sacked while speaking to him on the telephone. This 'text' story sounds a bit dodgy. "I was amazed to receive a phone call from Thea Bristow [the Torquay chairwoman] at 7.30 on Sunday...

SenorDingDong The reason for the so called 'TUST propaganda' is GI's history in sports, go out there and google it. It's all there before you. Without that history then the fans would have been far more welcoming, especially after the utter shambles of Thea Bristow's reign and Dave Phillips' omnisha...

Alpine, you really have an issue with TUST don't you. It would be nice to think that we could all pull together in these difficult times but that would be wishful thinking. Divided, we haven't a chance. I certainly did feel there was an issue of pro Trust propaganda being put out on Forums with not...

They chucked a few quid on the pitch, chucked a few quid on away overnight stops and sorted out transport. Chucked a few quid on new contracts for KN's wonder signings. Chucked a few quid in obtaining boots and laces. So yer expect nothing to be chucked on a decent new manager! Exactly right somers...

A Question of Contracts ......

I expect that by bringing Managerial ability into it, all we'll conclude is that we'd be happy for good and talented managers that we approve of to hand out 3 or 4 year contracts, whereas those we don't rate and don't like....well, given the rubbish they're likely to sign, make it 12 months at most....

Sack " Philip Hammond " Petition ( BREXIT ! )

Quite understandable sentiments Fred, but is there really much point in targeting the monkey while the Organ grinder remains in place ?, and with the likelihood that one of a number of identikit Hammond monkeys would just be appointed to perform the same task in the same way. It is Remainer May who ...
