Thought I'd take a break from editing interviews and writing up quotes to write my own OS blog.

Only a quick one but any feedback much appreciated as always! Got plenty of post-match stuff on the site at the moment and more on its way (Ryan Harley's views and hopefully lots of match footage spliced with Radio Devon's commentary: Ryan's goal mixed with Jimmy Giles, what a thought!)

Cheers

Pete

"Missing a truly unforgettable and stunning victory at SJP"

So beating your local rivals on Boxing Day after they have been above us all season in the league doesn't count?

Exeter 4-3 Torquay

Ten-man Exeter withstood a brave Torquay fightback to clinch victory in a thrilling derby.
Jamie Mackie fired into the top corner on 23 minutes before Dean Moxey added a second for Exeter 11 minutes later.

Chris Todd's header reduced the deficit but Wayne Carlisle nodded Exeter's third before Daniel Seaborne saw red.

Mackie slotted Exeter's fourth before Torquay fought back with a Lee Phillips header and Kevin Nicholson shot and had two more efforts cleared off the line.

We weren't really underdogs on the scale of Saturday but that game and the Wycombe game were both great results but not quite as memorable in my opinion

Eh? beating our lesser Devon rivals less important than getting one over a Northern team who were once quite good??:S

Glad its got people talking!

Personally I rate Saturday higher. Had Torquay won at Old Trafford two weeks before? After watching that game I thought there was very little chance of us even drawing with Leeds.

I'm with Ebs on this one!

While giving the Turkeys a Xmas stuffing was undeniably pleasing they are, after all, only "little" wannabe quasi-rivals - not the real deal.

Mind you, even Saturday didn't manage to surpass that historic 2-0, 3-0 double over the REAL enemy!!! ;) - now they WERE truly unforgettable games. [y]

He never said important, he said memorable. They are two different things.
