gingerninja Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Can't believe this has been cancelled as Torquay, of all the clubs, can't field a team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsman10 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 How embarrassing is that. Have Torquay not even got a youth team they can play ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PzFan Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Details on their website. Under 18 squad were to be used. They had games on Saturday and Sunday. They also have an FA Youth Cup tie tomorrow night. Sounds like they wanted to rearrange a fixture but couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing four games in the space of five days would be incredibly unfair on the players as well as totally irresponsible towards their development.

Home Waters Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 IF it is because they cant field a team, then presumably Devon FA have awarded the match to Parkway..................?? Its strange that Buckland Ath asked Devon FA to cancel their match with Ivybridge on Wednesday, it was a no no from Devon FA, who even said that if ivybridge agree to a cancellation then both clubs would be expelled from the competition. So Mr Devon FA whats the difference? Torquay used a number of issues to avoid playing, 'we have a new manager' - we have an important FA Cup tie at the weekend - we cannot use the youth team as they are playing tonight and couldn't play on Wednesday - get me the tissues. Get into the real world of local football Gary Johnson, its wrong to seek favours on past performances. For Torquay - we have the most important FA Cup match at the weekend in the clubs history. We have to play at Bitton on tuesday following that match on the Sunday. To use these excuses is totally wrong, especially by a former league club, now a local club. Devon FA should not bend over backwards and deny one club but let the other do what it wants. If a man like Gary Johnson is unable to produce eleven players for Wednesday its a sad indictment. People saying about unfair on the youth team - don't they have any adult players then . dear o dear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1978 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Plenty of footballers in the Torbay area would jump at the chance to put on a Torquay shirt. Just sign a few of them up for the game. For a pro club not to be able to fulfil a fixture is a joke. Was really looking forward to the game.

Graham Lloyd Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 As a pure layman looking in from the outside, it seems to me that the "professional" clubs (I use the term loosely) appear to be consistently treated differently to the rest of us mere mortals. It would be interesting to hear the competitions administrator's take on the situation but I'm not holding my breath. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARRY WHITE Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 I hear as far as Torquay United are concerned this is a piddling little competition they could do without Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1978 Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Bideford and Tiverton have always taken the cup seriously. Torquay arn’t exactly on much of a higher level themselves. I understand Argyle/Exeter playing the kids, but this is the only trophy Torquay would have any chance of winning in the near future!
