The Observer Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Just looking throught results from yesterday's games. And can't believe Torpoint have been beaten at home by Penryn in the QF's of the cup. I think they are fantastic club with lots of potential,but the league table doesn't lie & with Bovey Falmouth winning & cullumpton taking a point off Saltash what is a disappointing season could turn out to be the worst in a long time for the club. Are the club moving in the right direction? And are Darren Eddy Edwards & Carl Curtis doing a good job there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Ronnie Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Bodmin 10-0 torpoint, carter 7, krac, matthews and doel. Didnt go but seen result on twitter. How any 1 can get beat by that score at this level is shocking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG AL Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Money brings results - most unfortunate because it really is beginning to get to the point that this sort of score is taking all the competivness out of the game. I would suggest that if Bodmin want to win by this sort of score, they move to a hihger league as even they must be starting to realise what is the point of playing teams in this league because they know they will never be defeated !

Nick Pope Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Torpoint surely weren't at full strength??? You'de be supprised how a scoreline can get away from you..... St Austell at the weekend took all their chances really well and bagged 7..... It was only the 85th minute and I said at 4-2 we may still pull this back..... how wrong was I !!!! Torpoint will keep plugging away and I'm sure they will cause a few upsets during the remainder of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Observer Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm with u Rocket, nobody at this level should be getting beat by that many. As for Big Al I think u are guessing the budget situation mate, I bet u there isn't a massive amount of difference in there budgets. £100-£150 max spread that over a squad & your paying players £10 more then Torpoint. As I said I bet it's not even that much! Not enough to warrant any 10-0 defeat that's embarrassing & players,& managers should be ashamed of themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish-Ref Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 It always seems to come back to money.....Bodmin FA Vase winnings (just from the FA Website to Round five this season) - £6,800If League Winners - £2,000.00If Throgmorton League Cup Winners - £1,500.00If Senior Cup Winners - ?Total above = £10,300 in prize money minimum.....If Bodmin win all of the above, then they have additional budget to spend......With regards promotion, it has been proven with Truro City, that there is NO Business sense whatsoever, in a team from Cornwall trying to compete at the higher levels.... even the Western League.As they say - "In life, it is better to be a big fish in a small pond than and Small Fish in a big pond".

The Observer Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I don't see what difference the money makes to be honest it doesn't matter how much Money they will/could win in prize money this year. The same group of players are gonna be available to them next year, just cause they win 10k this year it doesn't mean all of a sudden they are appealing for Steven Gerrard & Frank Lampard to come & play there football. My point is no team should be getting done 10-0 in this league, it's embarrassing to think those boys get paid. Bodmin are a good side,not unbeatable as Elburton have already shown this year. But Torpoint who I regard as a great club should be ashamed of themselves they have a great following & I feel sorry for any of them that travelled & watched that shambles. What's going on over there? Talk of players unhappy? Management unhappy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushy12 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yeh, perhaps as a club its better to be a big fish in a small pond, bit is it as a player? Surely you aren't developing to your full potential playing opposition of in most cases a lot less ability. Its got to the point where winning the league and cups in the south west has become EASY for Bodmin. Surely players with any kind of ambition would benefit from challenging themselves at a higher level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldeneye Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 there is NO Business sense whatsoever, in a team from Cornwall trying to compete at the higher levels.... even the Western League.

Mike Odgers Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 With Bodmin appearing to stay put in the Peninsula League for next season surely some of the players have ambition to play at a higher level.Good opportunities likely next season with local clubs Plymouth Parkway in the Western League and Truro City in the Southern League Premier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusty Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I can see a few transfers to parkway in the pipeline next season for a few of the Bodmin. Players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 If Parkway get runner-up there will be a lot of Plymouth based Bodmin players heading there next year & maybe a few Plymouth based Buckland players. And I know that that the wheels are in motion & Mr Hillson has already spoken about this to players of interest to him. However even though they are favourites to finish 2nd, wouldn't they be a big case of egg of your face/touchline shoes if they didn't get 2nd?

midlandlilywhite Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 If Parkway do finish 2nd and get promoted to the Western League Premier Division you cannot blame any of the Plymouth based Bodmin players wanting to move on, especially as Bodmin do not have the ambitions of promotion themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anychance Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hopefully if Parkway do gain promotion and manage to tempt some of Bodmins players to play at a higher standard, it may make the peninsula league a lot more competitive with numerous teams surely fancying themselves for the league next season. Agree with most that there is no way score lines such as 10-0 should be happening, especially against a well organised club like Torpoint. What actually happened, i know they obviously had a few out hence the bare 11, but bare 11 isn't an excuse in my opinion - did they have second/third team players playing in their place?

THE BALD ONE Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 It was only a couple of games ago they drew with Parkway. Perhaps they had a bad game and Bodmin had a great game.

burts Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I think thats a very short sighted opinion to say bodmin find it easy to win games...I played for a good swl side a few years ago and if anything its harder as 1. every game you play is treated like a cup final by your opposition and 2. everyone expects you to demolish teams and sometimes that just doesn't happen. Bodmin are where they are because gilby has assembled a superb squad and they shouldn't be knocked for staying where they are. Financially it just isn't viable and fans certainly can't afford the money it costs now to travel great distances if their team gains promotion.

Bristol is only 2 hours away 2.5 hours to Wiltshire at the most, using travel as an excuse is just a kopout. Cornish teams that don't take promotion are letting our County down whether it is Bodmin or any other club that get an opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no team good enough to stop Bodmin winning the treble, shame but that's the way it is and probably always will be in Cornwall. Falmouth did it St Blazey did it, de- values Cornish football we are just a laughing stock but if that's the way it is then we will just have to accept it and go watch the rugby, such a pity.

ravo Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hard to follow the good times of Stuart Dudley but Darren Edwards is a honest bloke that wears his heart on his sleave and Karl Curtis is a top coach that any club would love to work under.

Nick Pope Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Upset in my opinion due to current league standings, recent result Torpoint had and squad of players Saltash have.

The Observer Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Just think take bodmin out & the league in poor. Not saying all the players are but teams in general are poor, standard has dropped massively. There are good players at most clubs but they are normally surrounded by inconsistent or poor players. So for me it's no upset, Saltash not up to much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
