We don't hate Ballmouth, but some harbour a mild distaste for them because of the events of Monday, December 28th 2009, when a certain Mr Singh decided that he would award not only a yellow card to every player with two testicles, but a penalty in the 90th minute for the most blatant dive since Tom Daley in Beijing, which was won by (now Plymouth manager) Steve Fletcher and converted by Brett Pitman to secure them a 2-1 victory. Fletcher admitted immediately after the match that he had dived, although a large number of Ballmouth fans came here and delighted in telling us that they all had a perfect view of the "foul", ignoring completely the words of their hero.rachii12 wrote:Can someone explain to me why some Torquay fans hate Bournemouth?
Please don't kill me because I don't know.
Singh never refereed again, Fletcher never dived again and we haven't seen the Ballmouth fans in there parts for many a year.
As to the suggestion that they are a sideways move, I disagree. They are a good club with excellent footballing philosophy, a few quid behind them, good support and the genuine potential to be real contenders over the next season or two.
