Torquay United vs Tranmere Rovers 5.8.17

[gullpower]

I refuse to abandon the unrealistic optimism that preseason allows me so:
Torquay (1)2 Tranmere (0)1
Keating & Young to score
Crowd of 2000

COYY!!

[LankyGull]

2-2 We go 1 up and get pegged back late on.James Gray scores the equaliser even later.

2200 for a nice summers afternoon in the English Riviera

[Glostergull]

I'll go for a 2-1 win and keep the optimism going.
Wivel agrees with Brucie again and they go off hand in hand into the sunset.
crowd about 2100

Spirits are dampened as reality sets in once again and another winter of struggle beckons .

Torquay 0

Tranmere 5

Solid start to the season as new signings bed in well, resulting in a creditable draw.

Dag and Red 1 - 1 Barrow

Could be, brucie, could be....

I'm not even going to attempt to predict this one. Tranmere are obviously one of teh tips for promotion (as they were last season, but failed ....). It's a tough opening match but as others have posted, it might just be to our advantage to play them as our first game. P.S. I don't think we will be hammered 3 - 0 or 5 - 0 as some, e.g. Brucie, have posted.

[Willowgull]

I'm going for 1 - 1 with JP to score the first goal of the game. Probably to our advantage to get them first up at home.

Crowd 2346 - boosted by our new Academy boys (sorry Torquay in the Community boys!!)

[Zippy]

Tranmere will bring a decent crowd with them

Nobody took the bait

And thank God Brucie is back to his normal miserable self again, after his optimistic posting over the summer.

3-2 to Tranmere. Pittman and McGinty for us. Fallon with own goal winner for Rovers.

I'm just starting to get prepared for the game on Saturday. Listening online from Phuket. The last few seasons there has been a "Useful Links" button straight to the BBC commo. I can't seem to find it here anymore. Am I being more blind than usual?

I don't think the commo via the BBC works when you are outside the UK.

Has always worked for me well outside the UK.
