Solihull Moors v Torquay United - 7th March

The fact that some people like Donnelan kind of shows just how poor our team is. He really is a poor player who looks competent in comparison to his teammates but he wouldn’t have got near even the side we had a year ago. He reminds me of (for anyone who remembers the mid-80s) Steve Pugh. When Steve...

Gary Johnson, stick or twist? - As of 07/03/23

Stick or twist, it really doesn’t matter. Those shouting for Johnson to go or making polls about whether he should be sacked are really missing the point. Whether he stays or goes will not make a blind bit of difference. If TUFC were a well-run club where the owners were in it for the football and h...

Just a puppet for Clarke Osborne with links to the same property companies that saw the demise of Swindon Robins speedway.

Gary Johnson, stick or twist?

Teigngull makes a very valid point in the nation that the club is being deliberately steered towards a decline in an effort to bring it to its knees. If this is the case then those shouting abuse at Gary Johnson are seriously missing the point. It doesn’t matter who the manager is if the owner is de...

Torquay United v Yeovil Town - 26th December 2022

Like many others view of the game really, first half not too bad but worryingly poor in the second half. Although I often read negative reports, I actually think McGavin is a good player, he doesn’t hide, is intelligent in what he tries to do and takes a really good corner. I thought he had a decent...

Torquay United v Yeovil Town - 26th December 2022

Going slightly off theme I did notice that when we bought our tickets for boxing day bristows and the family stand were really well sold, Then I saw on the NL site today that live streaming for the remainder of the season starts on boxing day for all NL matches at £9-50 a go with the bonus if our g...

Gary Johnson, stick or twist?

Since promotion in 2019, each of the subsequent seasons has seen the team suffering a run of form which have seen the pram-toy throwers demanding his sacking. First season back 2019/20, after a decent start, injuries took hold, and we went around ten games without a win and were starting to get back...

Only one manager has ever won more promotions than Gary Johnson and that is Neil Warnock. Hardly “bang average”

Johnson out

My assessment of Gary Johnson is that he hit the ground running and brought in players to achieve promotion. He gave those players a chance to prove themselves at a higher level and supplemented that with some quality additions. Some worked and some didn't. We suffered a catalogue of injuries to ke...

Re: Where has the Drummer Man Gone

Funny how times change. Two years ago many of us would have loved to have been banned for the season.

Torquay United v Aldershot Town 24/8/19

A few weeks ago I posted an article concerning Jamie Reid and my belief that the National league Premier was a step to far for Reid. In my comments I mentioned that this is his fourth season at the club, the first two seasons he played 77 matches and scored only 9 goals in this league. This season ...

Torquay United v Maidenhead United 13/8/19

A disappointing night but the script was written after we battered them for half an hour and could not score. Maidenhead’s no.10, Kelly was excellent in the first half and whilst their first goal was somewhat fortuitous, spilling from MacDonald, into his path, Kelly caused us quite a few problems as...

2019/2020 Kits

I really like the new shirts - especially the blue one. I’m not a fan of white socks for the home kit but the plain and simple tops look good. I do share, however, the frustrations of those who bought the black “anniversary” top. It seems a bit pointless now when there are 3 identical designs in dif...

Certainly picking up some negativity here, https://x.com/danieljonknight/status/1122167290668224512?s=12 😂😂😂😂😂 Those fans are scum. They are shouting that vile abuse at the manager who took them to the play-offs three years running. Just what sort of club do the administration cheats think they sho...

Cornish, Greeks and that other Green team.

I utterly appreciate the sentiment of the opening post. I never understood the sycophantic crawling around “Argol” that some supporters of TUFC partake in. It’s embarrassing and ridiculous. They’re a horrible club with a significant amount of odious fans within their fanbase, suffering from the most...
