A glorified pub side (a gastropub?) of brickies and plumbers no less.

Step forward Torquay forum member Pea (presumably followed by Brain).

He probably thought the same going into the Gateshead game on Saturday.

Torquay fan in peace. I can assure you that anyone who thinks tonight's game will be a walkover for us are seriously deluded. If someone offered me a nervy 2-1 win I would take it.

I was at the Gateshead game and defensively we were a shambles. Gateshead could easily have scored 5 or 6. I think if you come out attacking tonight you will score goals.

Ajala I believe is a superb player and in pre-season he has been very impressive. I would love it if he starts tonight as he can create goals..

Wish you all the best, except for tonight and when we play the return fixture. Safe journey to all who made the long trek.

1-0

We're playing okay, better than Saturday.

We're only two games into the season and already I don't think I'll hear a worse commentator then Guy Branston.

Utterly disgraceful remarks about some of our guys. Clearly done no research whatsoever.

Whats he saying....cant get commentary here

Bush is too fat to play at Conference level.
Gallagher is awful because he played in Iceland - neglecting to mention his England C caps
Faz is crap because he runs a PT camp and had to miss work today - neglecting to mention he was the Conference's best RB last season.
And saying we are parking the bus and trying to get a point after 6 minutes - neglecting to mention how good our away record was last season.

Bedtime methinks....could be a long night!!

Two nil.

The referee must have been the only person in the ground who thought that was a penalty.

Fill your boots Tweeters: @BBCDevon

Cheers Russ, they'll take a gunning from me at the very least.

Early days.  We, almost certainly, have the lowest budget in the Conference and it will be difficult to compete with most, let alone the big spenders - especially those with parachute payments from the Football League.  Let us remember these insults and give Torquay hell on and off the pitch when they visit us on a cold day in December.  Hopefully, somebody has taken the trouble to let our players know, at halftime, what is being said about them.

Bush too fat to play in Conference? I take it they weren't aware of Steve McNulty being player of the year for last season's title winners?

@Brano1979 the handle of the man in question.

I don't mind opposition commentators saying their club should win because normally it's true, we have the smallest budget in the league and struggle to compete against big teams. But I can't stand people who just say we are part time therefore we're **** and do no research on us whatsoever.

Really?

yes, he said he was getting some abuse directly after I tweet him and he favourited it even though it was an insult.

Seems to have been a lot better in the second half, I wonder why!

we're playing better so far this half. Fazakerley just hit the post.
