Torquay United V Weymouth 10th February 2009

Jerry I never questioned if he was a decent chap or not I only questioned his outburst and choice of words he used. At each game he does his flag and always has a big smile on his face, its very clear he gets great enjoyment from doing it.

I said I have no problem with the flag, but then I don't really have a choice unless I want to move from where I have always stood, I have heard some maons about the flag and while he took it upon himself to do it every game it is what he wants to do and I'm sure no one has been asked if they mind.

You say someone was trying to tie the flag barrier, I was unaware just what was going on, but there are going to be times when some fool tries to spoil it. Why could he not just shout, come on lads stop mucking around and let the flag go, there is no reason in the world why he could not have just said that, but I get in right in my ear hole, you F***ing W***ers.

There are ways to say things correctly and ways to say the wrong things and If you can give me one good reason why I really should not mind what was shouted out, then I'm prepared to listen. I really don't buy any argument that says its OK because its at a football match, the dear old lady standing near me would not have excepted such and excuse.

I haven't had as much time as i would like recently to catch up on the views on the forum, so am trying to read all the posts i have missed.

I know its a bit late but i would like to add a couple of things to this thread, and apologies if i have covered something that someone else already has.

1. What is all the fuss about Beavon, i wasn't impressed at all for 87 minutes. I was saying to my daughter that out of the two strikers I'm glad we got Christie, I thought he was our best player, but Beavon would probably pop up in injury time to grab the winner. Then in the final 3 minutes or so Beavon looked a world beater, good finish and then unlucky not to get a second moments later. Mind you what would we give for a player that does bugger all all game but still manages a goal. Although that pretty much sums up Dsane, with a few less goals to his name.

2. Boo boys were so so predictable. Again talking to my daughter, i said if they were to break away and score then the morons in the crowd would boo the team. She didn't believe me and was genuinely disbelieving when it started. Memo to the boo boys, 'well done, the booing really helps' i noticed a marked improvement when you started!!!!!!!!! Maybe if you got behind the team when they most need it then the confidence would return quicker.

3. On the issue regarding the stewards moving us along at half time when we stopped for a 'quick' chat with Dave. Whilst i appreciate that the rules mean that we shouldn't stop on the Yellow lines to avoid 'Blocking' the path (although most of the movement happens before half time anyway, as the regulars head off for their half time beverage), but isn't part of the match day experience to socialise as well?? So by moving us along, whilst ignoring the other incidents, they are saying that it is OK to use the C word or verbally abuse a fellow fan, but not ok to stop for a chat.

4. I thought the game itself was pretty dire, but the interesting fact for me was the number of shots off target; 7 for us and none for them. 7 off target means that we are not testing their keeper enough, at least if we hit the target and the keeper does save/parry it gives us another opportunity. Failure to hit the target is lamentable, step forward Sills & Dsane. Failure to hit the target when none of the defenders are anywhere near is inexcusable.

tufc01, I know you have been very busy of late with extra work etc, so I will forgive you late match post this time to be honest I never even noticed Beavon out on the pitch until he came near the popside and some fool gave him some abuse.

Apart from the goal he took well, I did not see much else from him and it was Phillips who stood out the most. Beavon did what our strikes are not doing and that was to put away the chance when he got it, how often have we seen players who are not in the game, but end up being the match winner because they have that something special, why our own Mark Loram could drift out of games but then would do something on the pitch that was pure class.

As regards the stewards, I will do what I did the last home game and politely tell them I'm having a quick chat and my friends will be moving on soon, I intend to have a word with the chief steward if I can about this and the singing from a few of our fans.

We could do worse than to send Dsane as well
