  2. I'm more worried for the future of our society! Local football is just a reflection of it. Immediate results (think next day delivery, google, internet, etc) without doing anything to earn it has lead to an entitled yet offended nation. Bring back national service.
  3. Have you been spying on my group chats? 🤣 Honestly, on a regular basis I wonder why we all bother. Only one team can win (or neither) and a motto I've had with most things in my life if you're not getting out what you put in, then it's time to resign. At some point the dying breed will all disappear and the lazy or ignorant will wonder why "their team" has folded. Laughable really the levels of laziness and ignorance we all have to tolerate.
  4. This is probably where Tavistock are currently getting it right with their development side and the work Dave Ottley was doing before changing roles recently. Having a Dev side not in a competitive league had it's doubters, but having the young lads "develop" at other clubs while training with Tavistock has so many positives. They're getting game time at a decent level for their age while keeping an eye on how they're doing, developing their own relationships with those players and this has come to fruition in Newton, Rutter, Sullivan, Beardesmore to name just a few.
  5. He left Saltash to join Millbrook and got some games for them. He's since joined Tavi as his primary club, and signed for Torpoint from Millbrook on dual registration.
  6. Will was registered with Saltash earlier in the season. Has since gone to Tavi full time with a dual registration with Torpoint.

  9. 4 rounds for us in the 2x cups so far. 4 away draws. Fantastic! Some interesting draws in all 3 cups. The attendance for Falmouth vs St Blazey will be huge!
  10. Torpoint Athletic 2 - 1 Gunnislake Torpoint goal scorers: OG & Taylor A valuable 3 points on Saturday against a robust, experienced Gunnislake side, reversing the result from the away game where they beat us 1-0. Pleasing to get the W after a few games without points. And more positives with Westall returning from injury, both Halls and Ross getting their first starts for the side, and 3 young debuts for Monaghan, Mills and Warren from the bench. We started quite brightly but with very little football played on the deck from either side for the majority of the first half. Our first chance was golden as a ball out to the left was half cut out by the right back, slipping in the process, allowing Easterbrook to charge inside in a 2v1 with Westall and the last defender. Defender drawn, Easterbrook slipped the ball right to Westall 16 yards out but with ample time to pick his spot I think he rushed it and slipped, hitting a tame effort straight at the grateful keeper. Let off for Gunni. We failed to create anything clear cut for an age after that, with all our play too direct and though we were aiming for our wide men, it was in the air and easily defended by the back three of Gunni when full backs were the easier outlet to work the ball wide. Easy to see from the dugout but it was obvious in their 3-5-2 how it could have been exposed. The only two times we got the ball out to Cam Ross on the right wing he made something happen. Both times teeing up the supporting Jimi Taylor, the first time Ross got to the byline, sold the defender a kipper and laid the ball back for Taylor to deliver a delicious cross to the back post but Easterbrook and Westall were both flat footed and neither were near it. Minutes later Ross had the ball again winning a free kick near the box/byline, for Taylor to take whose low drive inside the 6yd box wasn't dealt with and the defender couldn't avoid sticking the ball into his own net for a 1-0 lead with Fuller a yard behind waiting to pounce. A deserved lead but Gunnislake were no slouches. A good delivery from a left wing corner was well met by a visiting head and only the hands of our defender on the back post kept the ball out, with no appeals and the ref none the wiser a huge let off for us. I recall another chance for Gunni which fortunately was at Sidey who held well. A theme for the visitors. 1-0 HT. I was a bit critical at the break to be honest, but constructive. Everyone recognised their formation but by skipping out easy passes to full backs as outlets and working the ball out wide on the deck we were gifting possession away to a team happy to win their headers, much to the disgruntlement of the referee who penalised both teams for text book headers all afternoon, , including a booking apiece, very odd. The other frustration I had was not backing each other up with our efforts, Westall in particular lead the line well all afternoon was working his socks off after 8 weeks out, but wasn't supported in his efforts I thought, and any time he pressed it was an easy ball out, where a 2nd/3rd man in support would have put us on the front foot with a bit more proactiveness in thought and desire. Seemed to work in the 2nd half and we did improve, with more play to feet. But soon after the restart Gunnislake drew level with an OG similar to ours in the first. A low driven ball into the 6 yard was tucked away neatly on their behalf by Bark. Thankfully it didn't rattle us too much, with the strength of Westall and the dribbling from both wide men creating pressure in the final third. It was Easterbrook who assisted our 2nd, who bamboozled the right back once, then twice, driving to the byline and laid the ball back to the onrushing Taylor 8yds out to guide the ball inside the near post with his left foot. A deserved goal from Jimi who was a bright spark throughout the game. We should have made it more comfortable with a 3rd, when a good ball in behind to Ross, who guided the bouncing ball to the back post for Westall and Easterbrook to get in each other's way, with the better positioned Easterbrook and his call being ignored by Westall on the stretch and the chance wasn't taken. But positive again from the front three. 2nd half Ross was a menace down the right but a frustration at not being granted a corner gave him a 10min breather and effectively ended his game, as once he returned had stiffened up so was subbed. Gunnislake had chances to equalise when well placed in the box 2-3 times but we were fortunate their efforts on goal were central and Sidey held firm, one standout being fortune as it was stuck under his *** too close to the line for comfort. Plenty of crosses and corners were dealt with again by Sidey who punched strongly throughout. Eventually I think Gunnislake lost energy and hope despite the close score line and it finished 2-1. Yet another 3 week break now without fixtures until the 16th, but we have played the most games in the league already halfway through. But we all know how winters are in cornish football nowadays. Next week we have Cawsand (A) for our early Xmas social run, before we face Polperro and Millbrook before Xmas.

  12. Red card and a £30-50 fine from the FA. Uses loophole to not actually serve a suspension and would definitely have picked up a bigger packet at Bideford than the FA fine. An absolute mockery!
  13. It's about time this Romeo and Juliet love story came to fruition, he loves St Columb!
  14. No club in their right mind would openly disclose a budget in this manner (unless it's all above board and declared via HMRC.)
  15. It's quite obvious his point was that Bridgwater are no longer in that list, despite only being a point off top. You can't lose a manager, goalkeeper and regular goal scorer in one week and maintain a steady ship.

  17. The goalkeeper and their social media admin have also both posted that they're heading out the door as well in disagreement with the decision. How can 2nd in a very tough league be under performing? Madness. And to reveal the financial "loss" from 3 games in such a way is nothing short of stupid! The twitter post itself is closing in on 800,000 interactions and it's not from good PR! The decision has gone down like a lead balloon and the statement is pretty damning, probably the worst I've seen. Shambles. Helston and the other challengers must be laughing their heads off at this own goal.
  18. About time you started climbing the table to a league position deserving of your club Jiggy! Well done on the 3pts.
