    Scottish fitba!

    Aberdeen are just really good. That's now 14 wins in 16 and getting better by the week. Hit 7 past Motherwell last month as well. This time last year Aberdeen were one point behind Celtic. If Delia was still in charge, Aberdeen could have a very good chance of the title with 75 odd points...

    Torquay in crisis?

    My brother bought two on the popside. Said the seller was a bit shocked as they "only had 21 to start with, are you sure?" so sounds like they a bare minimum for the whole ground. Cost-cutting to the extreme...

    Torquay in crisis?

    Pretty sure he's based in Devon. He was here from 2007-2014 and then back by September 2015 till now. His wife and children must be pretty settled here.

    Btw, do you guys think Hodgkiss will be recalled when his loan expires in a few days? He's doing well for us and getting in a new right back at this stage of the season would be awful for us. Nicholson's last interview seemed to imply you would likely take him back.

    Pawlett needs a fresh start somewhere else, so I think he's made the right decision. He's been at Aberdeen his whole career and it's just gone a bit stale. In the 2013/14 season he was excellent and it looked like he was developing into a top level player. At his best in 2014 he was the best...

    Scottish fitba!

    I am aware of the complexities of the case. But it was enough to end both of their careers, and Robertson left Cowdenbeath within days of the verdict. I want Edinburgh to stay up, but Cowdenbeath too would be good, just to give their fans a break.

    Yes, Robertson and Goodwillie were tried together over the same incident, and he left the club the day after the verdict. Every time there's a "Club Statement" posted on their twitter page there's another blow. Hibs had exactly the same problem last season too under Alan Stubbs. I went to watch...

    Scottish fitba!

    I think about last October! I would have thought going the season unbeaten or getting a record points total would be their target now. I think I got them on a good day, but St Mirren were excellent tonight. Hibs were an absolute shambles though - I can't remember even Torquay putting in a...

    Scottish fitba!

    I am at St Mirren tonight funnily enough. Easy journey over from Edinburgh and right next to the station. I will let you know how good St Mirren are in 90 mins time. I expect worse than Hibs but a lot better than Torquay.

    I liked Mark Ellis when he was with us, and he's spent the rest of his career at L1 and L2 level since then, so it's about as proven a signing a non-league side could make. Getting £360k for our 15% in Angus MacDonald would have been brilliant 2 months ago. It could have cleared our debts and...

    Torquay in crisis?

    You are. Plainmoor is listed as an asset of community value, which means they are informed of potential sales and have a chance to bid. There is also a covenant on the land for sporting facilities. Both can be got around though if the new owners and council want it to happen.

    Not in our squad today and seemingly a done deal. With confidence there's a dangerous player in there.

    Torquay in crisis?

    Well we are now owned by people who don't have the best interests of the club at heart. Their track record is knocking down the stadium and then not delivering the promised new ground. They are here because they saw the opportunity to make a deal. Short term, who knows. But ultimately Riviera...

    Torquay in crisis?

    Thank-you Tivvy. I also hope that things go well for us in the coming months. We had a good night on the pitch tonight, but off the pitch is so important over the coming months. I was leaning to drive in 2008 and one of the first long distance drives my dad let me drive (pre-test) was Torquay...

    Torquay in crisis?

    Most people interested in buying/selling us want to make a deal with the council to build houses on Plainmoor. Plenty of vultures have been circling recently, and we seem to be encouraging them. Owners who are interested in the football club first and foremost would be lovely. We don't need a...

    Doesn't say that they are new bidders. Knowing us it will be GI and Pete Masters.

    Do Chester publish away figures? I haven't seen any figure for Torquay fans there yesterday?

    Torquay in crisis?

    I read that and it barely even registered tbh, I don't think there's anything new there. We've been looking for investment for about four years now without any progress, and we'll carry on as best we can on what revenue we can generate until anything changes. The current owners were given the...

    Looking forward to seeing Rangers back in the SPL?

    They don't normally reach the media though, so something has gone on behind the scenes. Leaking it to the media within hours is worrying for hin. Barton has too big of an ego to back down and apologise, so it could blow up even further. If a few of the usual ex-Rangers rent-a-quote players slam...
