Torquay United Fans Forum

I've got nothing against hoof ball. I used to love those John Beck sides. I always loved the 442 bang it straight into their box high. They never like it up em! All this tik tak Spanish passing gets right on my goat BUT if you are going to play it DON'T put two absolute vertically challenged strikers up front. Buy a couple of huge, ugly target men and let's get back to the old British way of playing. I do, of course, make exception of the great great Stevie Cooper, who though not 6'4 played like he was!

Remember him well. Gritty, hard midfielder. Always gave 100%. Think his brother was Brian Little the Villa man. RIP Alan and thanks for the memories.

Exeter game should be interesting. They didn't 'like it up em' last season!!!

Caused a bit of confusion in Turkey last week when I tried to buy one. Turkish chap assured me he had loads of them. When he brought them out from the shop they were all a dark shade of red. Politely declined!!!

As a kid always remember team running out too 'The Hustle' by Van somebody. Tune that whenever I hear it takes me back to 70s Plainmoor evening kick offs.

Does anyone know whether I'll be able to buy the new away shirt for a tenner in Turkey next month

Haven't we morphed into the yellow. I always thought that when we changed from the original black and white, the actual colours chosen and worn was gold and blue. The gold signified the golden sands of Torquay and the blue for the sea. Would love to see us introduce a gold home shirt. It would be a break from the bright yellow.

See other clubs are posting dates of pre season friendly. All a bit worrying. Really need to get a move on if we are not going to be left behind.

Should have been us

According to my boy, Collins is jacking in football. Apparently he's had enough. My lad reckons he wishes Torquay all the best and acknowledged he was not great this season. I wish him all the best in his new career whatever that may be. He will miss the Nippy Chippy in Bisop on a Tuesday night!!!

It's lovely to say this - WHO CARES!!!

In all honesty my heart sank after that first away day at Dover. Nobody seemed to want to say it but we were terrible. For the few months,Like the Emperor new clothes, I watched and saw things that weren't there. I really believed it would all come right. Worthing played us off the park at home and I suddenly realised just how poor a team we were. Think 13th would have flattered this lot.Must admit I was dancing and singing like a loon at Taunton last night. On reflection I was cheering with 800 away fans not being relegated to the Southern league. Shameful.

Just preparing to leave. Haven't felt like this since Barnet away all those years ago. Oh for David Graham tonight!!!

With what's at stake, are we on the eve of the clubs most important game ever???

Sorry meant courage. Think it was the Tin Man after a heart!
