Mr Owers steps down

I really hope the club is not lazy like the Herald Express and considers former players or managers or those who manage minor clubs locally. There are managers out there who we haven’t thought of, who would be more suitable. The likes of Mark Collier, Bobby Wilkinson would be better choices than the...

FA Cup

I was in Lymington today with my wife having a nice family day out, as only an hour from me. Can't believe I'll be returning in 11 days time. This is just up the road from Bashley, who we played a few years back in FA Cup, I guess must be nearly twenty year ago now - this was when we could win cup ...

Torquay United v Chippenham Town 08/09/18

There is no rational or logical explanation for persisting with Owers other than the deliberate sabotage of the football club. He has been here for a year and it has been the worst year in our history. I’d take Nicholson like a shot over this inept football manager, not that in any shape or form do ...

Torquay United v Chippenham Town 08/09/18

Losing to Chippenham 🙄

Chippenham used to be one of those teams that had just a small team photo in the Janner Indy season preview. Our reserves used to beat them. New lows guaranteed with Owers as manager,

Is the commentary free? I seem to be able to listen to it and I’m sure I haven’t paid to.

Osborne meeting with Kevin Foster MP and Cllr

A lot of supporters bought the David Thomas peddled notion that TUST were a glorified supporters club, raising money for a new lawnmower, whereas with the right support and backing a real supporters movement could have been started. However, in cahoots with the undermining of TUST by David Phillips ...

Torquay United v Hemel Hempstead Town, Saturday 1st September 2018

So those Brucie, those slating Owers are foolish? Read this gem you posted about Ling - you know, the guy who got us to the play-offs, in a division two leagues higher than this. Owers winning in the NLS is no achievement. brucie » 16 Oct 2011, 11:12 Not sure how much money I have saved but its in t...

Go G.O!!

That's fairly stupid because it isn't going to happen is it - particularly as it appears he has negotiated two loan signings. Its been pretty dismal stuff so far - no one can argue with that. It appears our forwards are completely lacking any confidence and most teams are just sitting back behind t...

Assistant manager?

God, if some of these players were actually bullied they'd die of shock. A few random comments from spectators or on a forum is NOT bullying. If it was only a few random comments in a forum though, Dave. I’ve seen some horrific comments about Jamie on Facebook, some even bringing his mum into it, a...

Assistant manager?

I don’t have an issue with Taylor being the assistant manager (although I would if he was made caretaker again). As for Owers; I’ve not been a fan of his at all and last season would gladly have packed his bags myself if it meant he left. He hasn’t got a very good record as a manager before and afte...

Oxford City v Torquay United 14/08/18

Sorry no, too many people are only too well aware of just how crap we were last night. Full time professional club v an organised and determined but ordinary side. They looked more professional, more imaginative and a damned sight more committed to their cause than our lot. The tactics and formatio...

I can’t attend this meeting as I’m about to go on holiday but I hope plenty can. Expect though that the five minutes of questions will be Pre-booked full of headnodders like David Thomas asking easy questions that let Osborne off the hook.

Jamie Reid (again, probably)

Yes - good post from Brucie. I don't like to see individual players being picked on. However, I think it's over the top to accuse Bristol-Gull of (quote) 'bullying and witch hunt'. He was simply repeating the frustrations of many posters on here over the past two seasons. Personally, I think Jamie ...
