hammers Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 How come nobody from Truro City has bothered to come onto the Forum to say about last nights game, I heard through the grape vine that City lost 4 0, Not a bad result against a championship team, I also gather that Argyle brought down virtually a full sguad,so unlike when Truro played Falmouth, when they only sent down mostly a 2nd Team, was that because Truro thought that Falmouth were so far behind the quality of the Truo team that it was not worth sending down a full squad, or maybe they were not to sure of the new Falmouth team, & did not want to run the risk of an upset, obviously, Argyle never took that view, Hammers :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Darren Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I wouldn't say Argyle were full strength, they certainly had the majority there though, funny that their weaker side played the better second half!! No one from Truro was really going to mention it though were they? haha. Good crowd there though!! £100 on the 50/50 draw, no idea how they work that one out!!! After last nights performance as well, I wouldn't have thought that Dan Stevenson was quaking in his boots!! Saying all that though, Truro were superb for the first 20 mins I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Waters Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 i would of said their 2nd half team (argyle) was the better out of the 2. With Norris, Buzsaky, connelly and chadwick all linkin up, truro couldnt stop their one touch football. First half i found abit 'boring', but the 2nd half argyle came to life, and proved why they are playin in the Championship. Truro in the 1st half looked very solid, in the 2nd they were exposed.

Paul Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I to was at the match last night. Thought id wait and see if a Truro fan might add a report. Thought Truro played well early on and if they play football like that against most of the teams they will play in the league next season they will be winning 5,6,7,8 nil again for sure!! Argyle then began to take control and some quick passing tore Truro aprt at times and 4-0 was about right in the end. Good crowd last night. Hard to say how many were there but i bet 1500-2000 wouldnt be far off. Good car parking with the field open next to the ground for a £1. That saved alot of bother. Sadly i missed out on a program as theyd sold out so if anyone has one they dont want ill buy it off them. PM me if you can. Oh, the coment on the 50-50 prize. There was a good laugh go round when the first prize was only £100. But there was a 2nd prize for £10!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammers Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Very good replies to my comments, but the point that I was making was still missed, that is we very often see lower league teams defeat the bigger clubs in the FA cup & in other competitions, I believe that the Higher clubs should even in friendlies, put out their best team, because it helps the lower clubs to raise the standard of their play, I understand what you are saying Truro's Mr M, but the Truro - Falmouth match when advertised was never shown as Truro's second team, & bearing in mind the history of games between the two clubs Truro would have gained more respect from the Town suporters if they had put out a full strength side. Hammers :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Man on the Post Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Hammers, you should take into account that Truro had another fixture at Tiverton less than 48 hours later. I don't think Falmouth played again until 6 days later. Being a West Ham fan you've got so used to real conspiracies that you're expecting to find them everywhere. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammers Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Man on the post, You must be a man with either a grudge, or a chip on his shoulder, you certainly like having a dig at other people, with no real grounds for your stupid remarks, with regards to Truro city if they were so concerned about the Tiverton match they should not have arranged one with Falmouth so close to that match, The Real truth is they believed that the second team was good enough to send down to Falmouth, (What was the score 4-0) with regards to your comments about West Ham, sticks & stones, remember that saying, Hammers, :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allforone1889 Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 First of all in reply to Hammer the Falmouth Town v Truro City game was arranged as a 2nd team fixture by both clubs, yes you will always get a handfull of the Western League side present because they may be back from injury, suspension or needing match fitness. As for Wednesday's game very well supported excellent to see such a strong Argyle side at Treyew Road and I agree with most City were very strong early on but Argyle stepped up a gear second half, new signing Danny Harris had a impressive debut as did the young boy Skinner who's currently on trial.

Guest Man on the Post Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Thanks Darren. I was just trying to gauge if neutrals attending the game would buy a ticket or not. Over the years I've noticed that, (at any club), 50/50 draws are not very well supported. It wouldn't surprise me if only 1 or 2 spectators in every 10 buy a ticket. Glad you went to the game. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldasitgets Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 50/50 draw seems terrible odds. We drew 5/5 last season against Penzance Astro and we thought that was pretty unlikely. I would have thought you could get a milion to one against a 50 each draw Truro v Argyle. (Then they'd refuse to pay up, I'd bet) But then I've never understood betting.

the big number9 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 i dont know how anybody can say the "next" best keeper around, anybody who plays for or supports a swl team will tell you chapman is the best, he may have had a poor game for city but every keeper does.he was one of only two players in his argyle age group to get offered a contract at argyle and if it wasnt for his lifestyle he would still be there, stevo didnt even make argyle yts and only played if the keeper was injured.
