The Serious Torquay Thread

[DB9]

You can be sure the club would be pragmatic about this and prefer a local trip, a home derby attendance, no away hotel bills, and a less tiring trip for the players. I don't they'd have a childish attitude about wanting Torquay to lose for some perverse reason

I didn't want them to lose in some "Perverse Way" To me it was two teams who I don't support and one of them happens to be closer than the other, If we're worried about hotel bills, Travelling etc then we must be in trouble, If Torquay had won we could have drawn Hartlepool in the cup and still had that away fixture. I'd imagine the club just want the fixtures out and more importantly get some new players in.

Anyone that prefers a trip to Hartlepool over a derby at Torquay is slightly weird.

Didnt we lose to Torquay last time we played them? I'm violently indifferent

Best news I've had this weekend. Maybe next season

Are there any of the Gulls players we would be interested in signing?
Thought that lad at LB played pretty decently, could maybe do a job for us? Moxey I think his name was?

Think about that tomorrow. For now though I will enjoy being small minded and immature and enjoy laughing at the Torquay

I said to the people I was watching with that Hartlepool would win the shoot out. I don't t think the Gulls had a shot actually on target all game other than the keeper's equaliser and had no confidence that they would get enough on target at the penalties.

And no - I saw nobody that I would want for City

Given we only have 3 players currently signed up for next season, I imagine the club want to see the fixtures as they’re hoping the first one is in November.

Me neither I was hoping for a Torquay win as this was in our best interests two derby matches and none of costs of the long trip to Hartlepool and the knock on effects of a tiring long away trip even more so if it is a midweek game.

That said I thought Hartlepool were the better side and deserved to win.

I thought they had ‘em though when the Pool started to flag at the end.Then one of the Gulls’ players refused to go off after suffering a cut. This allowed Hartlepool to rest and regroup and get their minds set on the job in hand plus of course take some liquid on board. From there it went downhill and they could well have lost without that last kick off the line in real time.
And no I’m not glad they lost , I remember our pain in those wretched playoff finals over the last few years , it’s no way to lose after a season’s hard toil and why even more we need to concentrate on getting autos.
