National League - Hartlepool v Torquay United - BT Sport - 31/10/20 - 5:20pm KO
My thoughts are that Jamie Reid didn't play in this match, so his opportunities to influence opinions about his ability were limited, rendering any discussion about him moot.EmetEdadsBeard wrote: ↑31 Oct 2020, 21:08 Went to a handful of matches in the north last season, and never once saw the Jamie Reid that people raved about. What we saw was a lazy bottler who shyed out of the physical stuff, walked about watching the match and very occasionally coming to life.
When he left it was (for some) like the sky had caved in.
Any thoughts now from the same Jamie lovers?
Good day.

Johnson out
An ardent Leaver advocating for having a cogent and coherent plan before making a major change? I'm struggling to picture it, I'm afraid.forevertufc wrote: ↑07 Jan 2020, 19:21 You don't need to be a recruitment specialist in football, if your thinking of replacing the current manager you need a plan, what you, and some other posters have clearly demonstrated is, you don't have a plan.

Johnson out
January 1st is a bank holiday here in this God-fearing corner of the globe. The elf 'n' safety, hug-a-Sunni, vegan-sausage-roll munchers haven't taken that away from us just yet (a spot of Gullscorer there, for those of you who remember our craziest [former?] member).Reidy28 wrote: ↑03 Jan 2020, 16:09 Can someone please bloody tell me how Gary and his brother have not had signings lined up? He knows as much as us that our defence is a massive issue. You’d have thought he’d have players ready to sign on January 1st. Loans etc. If no one is in for tomorrow then I’ll be absolutely baffled. All “January is a big month for sighings” if we lose tomorrow he has to go. We have 3 defenders available and one out on loan. Inexcusable.
No player who would be good enough to improve our defence sufficiently to warrant their signing would agree to come to us that early into the window. We are after experienced players who are, in truth, too good for us, but willing to come to us in order to springboard back to where they belong (see Whitfield, for a prime example). Those players will hope to have League clubs take a fancy to them, and will come to us only when that isn't the case. It's the football equivalent of, 'I wouldn't want to work for any company that would have me as an employee'.
Getting people in for Saturday 4th when the window doesn't open until Thursday 2nd is pointless. By the time the FA get the paperwork sorted, it's midday on Thursday. By the time the player gets here, it's 1800 Thursday. Friday is a light season to finalise the plan for Saturday's match. They wouldn't, except in exceptional circumstances, be ready or able to improve us after seeing a single session and little to no video. Senseless to rush for the sake of meeting an arbitrary 'but the fans want signings before the next match' deadline.
I will cough for the fact that I did see my arse a bit after Yeovil away and suggest that Johnson's job needed to be put under more pressure, but actually advocating for his sacking shows an inexcusable naivety of the circumstances surrounding the club, the owner, Johnson himself, the makeup of our squad (and why it is so constituted), and our place in football at the moment.
Dicko's continued on-loan status surely must tell us something. What it can't tell us is that Johnson is an idiot. That we know not to be true, so something else must be the case. What that case is, I'm afraid I haven't the will to discover on our collective behalf (sorry, not sorry).
We, collectively as a fanbase, are looking too hard for reasons for the team's current malaise. That our poor run of form has coincided pretty much exactly with us having unavailable between seven and eleven of the first team squad (let's not forget, we're talking about the likes of Little and Davis, not Slough and Koszela) is absolutely no fluke at all. I'll grant you, I'm not exactly thrilled with how we've dealt with that fairly major setback, but I defy anyone to name a manager who would A) come to us B) be a viable, long-term fit C) work for what we pay and D) have been able to do any better in the circumstances.
I haven't proofread this, so it probably reads as if typed by a Barbary macaque that's suffered a recent and debilitating stroke, for which I ask you to remember that that's pretty much my level anyway.
Boa noite, Aurelia.

Excuse me while I kiss this guy?
We all follow the Torquay, over land and sea (AND CITY). We all follow the Torquay, on to vic-tor-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (or crushing defeat to a club so wank, they don't even have a roof on their away end. Take your pick).

Parking close to Plainmoor !!
Dutch, my old cheese, you parked right in front of a sign that says not to park there. I would imagine an appeal on the basis of, 'but I always park here on matchdays' would fall on deaf, if amused ears.Dutchgull wrote: ↑15 Dec 2019, 20:48 Hi All
I was given a parking ticket on Saturday 5th October during the match against Fylde as I parked in Westlands Lane as many people do on match days.
As I understand it the parking sign says no parking except on match days. A list below the sign gives the match dates.
Is there any one out there who received a parking ticket on that date as there were other cars parked both in front and behind me and on the other side of the road. So I was wondering if any body else was booked and is appealing against it ?
I am not going to park there again but every match day others still do !!
Am I wrong or was there an over zealous civil enforcement officer about on that day !
Thanks for reading
!!
There's a sign in my local rectory that asks people not to knife up the Padre. I'm not sure, but I reckon if I pay him a visit with my mate Stanley, I might find myself enjoying a spell at Her Maj's pleasure.
Also, if you're going to appeal a parking ticket, it might be worth not leaving it three **** months. If you're not careful, you'll find yourself on Can't Pay? We'll Seize Goods To The Value Of!
