Don't seem to have option of logging in and posting - don't know why - always seem to have to do it this way.

I was either SBG or SkyBlueGull but doesn't seem to work

Quite frankly I am fed up with al the bickering amongst fans about the pros and cons of Nicholson. As a player I loved him - as a manager I am ambivalent. However he seems to get more vitriol than Dave Webb - who I know little about what he did to TUFC but sends my father in law into an apoplectic f...

is stevens on the pitch - haven't heard his name at all in the 2nd half?

Tomogull Could you or others give me a bit of a background on the Webb era as I am completely in the dark about what went on - living so far away - it was before I became a converted TUFC fan I know my father in law used to get angry whenever I asked - so much so that he could hardly speak with apop...

I agree SG and I know we have had a private discussion on this. My dealings with Bill Phillips some 6 months ago left me disgusted and angry - that he was so out of touch with the predicament of a fan of over 40 years standing. Add to that the fact that I felt he was proposing something that was in ...

Whilst I understand the need for a loan market I really feel it has got out of hand - both at TUFC and other clubs. I am sure that there are stattos ( sad anoraks ) out there who can tell me how many players Martin Ling used in the season we got to the play offs - it seemed to be the same 11 most we...

I don't understand the HE comment - something along the lines that the PFA have the problem of a conflict of interest in that they also represent Ollie Banks the Chesterfield player. Surely in nearly every case where there is a player under some scrutiny for a foul, head butt, spitting, leg breaker,...

...... and so Branston says" a good goal but Ashley needs to step up from this game and re- launch his career by starting to make the most of his opportunities! Yes Guy if only a manager would give him an opportunity to play a run of games .!!!!!!!!!! Please please CH just give the lad a run of...

If you type in " Torquay United - The Great Escape, 2005-6 " into you tube you get a 5 minute video of Ian Atkins great escape

About 30 seconds in - you get some fans talking about previous great escapes

Is that Thea and Paul Bristow?

Reading my local freebie newspaper - The Leamington Observer - and the report on Leamington v Stockport County (Score 2-1) in the Conference South last week. I seem to remember we had him on loan (from Accrington?) and I thought he was okay as a central defender and we were sorry to see him go back....

Havent posted for ages - for many personal reasons This was my post back in August - note the highlighted bits, I would add the following I would much rather we had played Craig and Yeoman for the first10 games - and found out they were either bloody good or bloody crap and if the latter got some lo...

Never lived in Torquay - Parents moved down there in 1980 Mum working at Torbay Hospital. Introduced me to a nurse who became ( and still is) my wife in 1982. Father in law -see Tribute to a Missing Fan - dragged me down to Plainmoor. Really took off my support one year when the Gulls played lot of ...

All I have been an exiled convert since about 1998 so forgive my ignorance I have just receive the latest Backpass magazine to which I subscribe ( fantastic retro football magazine) They are reviewing the 91-92 season Torquay were relegated from Division 3 with a record of Home Won13 Drew 3 Lost 7 -...

No place for Ashley Yeoman either as well as NC I think we can safely say that they play no part in TUFC's future Rather sad really because after Morecombe and Bristol Rovers I really thought that AY had come of age and was the future for TUFC. Not to be and I have no doubt that a few years down the...

After my "Balance of the Team " post I can now more accurately comment after having seen the Gulls in the flesh so to speak. The first half was absolutely TURGID and I was beginning to wonder whether Ling was still in charge. What I could not understand was the persistent hoofball up the m...
