Torquay United Fans Forum

As a paying customer you have right to know what they are achieving? Get over yourself. I am a paying customer of Tesco, does that give me the right to ask who everyone is and what they are doing? If I don't like Tesco I can go somewhere else. If you were a paying customer of the company I work for and you asked to know who a member of my team was or what they were achieving I would politely (at first) decline.

Keynsham, between Bristol and Bath

If you ever fancy sharing a lift Bristolgull, let me know. Not gone tonight as couldn't get out of work early, but plan to go to a home game soon

Whilst I can never wish Plymouth Well, due to having stones thrown at me and my dad after losing 4-3 at Home Park back in the 90's, I used to have a real hatred of Exeter, as Facebook memories keeps reminding me of with some rather cringeworthy status' from around 10 years ago.

However my dislike of Exeter particularly, but Plymouth as Well, has dissipated with our decline to the extent that I didn't even realise Exeter had made the play off final.

I would love to think that we can get back to playing Exeter again, although I think the most likely scenario is them dropping into the National League for us to play them. Then maybe the rivalry will come back, but for me it is gone. Sadly i dont think we'll ever play Plymouth in a league game again. 2012 New Years away at Plymouth was one of my all time favourite away days.

I used to look for Torquay first, Plymouth second and Exeter third almost religiously when checking the scores. This year I don't remember looking for Plymouth or Exeter at all, and often wouldn't have known how they got on come Monday morning.

I think you'll find our local rivals are now Truro City mate!

Actually it's Weston Super Mare , 79 miles away, compared to 106 to Truro

I find it interesting that most people are pro bringing Zebroski back, but many anti Luke McCormick. The crime Zebroski committed was far more chosen than the crime of McCormick. Regardless of his state of mind, inebriation or the consequences, Zebroski set out to injure somebody. McCormick did not. He was reckless and stupid, and broke the law, but as a person, he did not intend to hurt anybody.

One of my best mates dad's was the Chaplin at Plymouth back then, I would regularly chat to him about his visits to see McCormick in jail, and one thing was clear, the remorse was real. He certainly didn't view himself above the law.

The one reason I would not want him at Plainmoor is the hypocrisy of fans shouting things such as "Murderer at him. He is not, and was not convicted of being a murderer. And I would be 100% certain that the majority of those cretins shouting abuse would have commited the same crime, just with less horrendous consequences. Anybody who has driven over the drink drive limit is just as bad as McCormick, they just got lucky.

Same place every week

His first real action was to bring the ball down the right side, cut in and send a vicious cross for a defender to nearly manage the own goal of the season with the ball only just clearing the bar from a point blank header.

Alright, he did hit one high, wide and into the clock but he ran and ran in the half hour or so he was on and held the ball well when he got it.

Sorry but that's what I saw.

I agree. Reid did what was needed when he came on. Also set up Romain for what should have been a third.

Well delighted I made the drive down. I've been to 3 home games in the last 3 seasons, and seen 3 wins. Not sure what all the fuss is about!!

Whilst it was hardly a classic, I actually thought it was a reasonable game, we were the better team. Young and Evans were strong in midfield. Healey and Romain quick, strong, skilful and hard working. Barnes and Davies dangerous and skilful, I thought the back 3 did ok, and everyone (except Williams) dogged and determined and when they lost the ball they fought hard to get it back.

Shame Owers couldn't get Romain, Williams and Healey a month earlier, but theres still a chance.

Thanks, must have just been announced. Been checking all morning!.

I guess I'll leave it til then. Be cutting it fine!

Is it looking ok? I've got to leave in 2 hours to make it safely. Forecast/reports aren't good but I'm really keen to get there

I'm tempted to drive down tomorrow, as this is either going to be a real good occasion or the real last chance to see Torquay before relegation.

Is there any hope it will be on?

I read a three forums thoroughly daily, and I don't recall anyone saying he's rubbish.

Unreliable, rarely available and therefore fairly useless to the cause, and therefore a huge waste of money and resource, yes. Rubbish, no.
