Yes it was blatantly obvious but without his £5m gamble and 5 year plan it was even more blatantly obvious that TUFC would go into administration 5 years earlier: if you thought about it, even you and UnitedinDevon should be able to realise that. I am no apologist for Osborne but what you don't see...

What's the point in going over the past, Osbourne has gone and yet we're still arguing about him. Whatever the reasons, and there are plenty, we've finally reached the point where we stand on the abyss. This has been on the cards for years, probably decades, the Bristows bankrolled us, Osbourne has...

That is irrelevant and a facile comment. Whatever Osbourne's motive was for loaning money and taking ownership rather than forcing administration, it does not negate the fact that the Football Club has continued to operate for a further five years or more. Hitler wasn't a very nice man who invaded ...

Presumably you split hairs as a profession. The point that you seem to miss is that Osbourne acquired the club - a defaulted loan is even worse than a purchase as the Club was obviously bust at the time. He could have gone into administration at any time so every game that Torquay have played since...

2-1 TUFC.

Meanwhile in Swindon… GI have formally requested a change to their planning permissions to remove the requirement to build a stadium as part of the agreement to build houses on the Speedway site. Just in case anyone on here was still of the view that Osborne was a positive force in Torbay. https://...

Why would we be?

2-1 TUFC.

Well, that didn't work really did it?

Jude-Boyd - brilliant performance and a screamer of a goal. Moxey - how many times off the line?? Kept us in it. Halstead - Crucial save at 2-2 and a couple of others - couldn't do much with the goals - see another poster said he should have done better with the 1st, but he had his angles right and ...

Looking forward to being there for this one and seeing everybody!!
Hoping for….
TUFC 2-1.
Up the Gulls.

Just can not see us repeating the performance of last week but Yeovil have been on a poor run lately (until last Saturday). I keep saying it ......a clean sheet and we do not lose, score one and we win.

Genius....
Are you Howard Wilkinson by any chance?

Going 3-1 to Yeovil....
Hope I'm wrong again like I was v H&R.....

So Archer & Collins don't count?, both listed as strikers, H&R played midweek,are PART TIME and had 1 fit striker, it's hard to judge them on that performance alone Why? They were the "form" team in the league - and we beat them. If they'd had beaten us 4-0 you'd have probably sai...

Think Downes obviously appreciates having another set of eyes looking at things, which carries a fair bit of value of its own. Asa returning to the starting line up rather than being that extra set of eyes obviously also worked wonders on Saturday. Yep and no offence to Asa, but he's better off on ...
