As 2020 closes..

[PFree]

Okay, as a club we are in a poor position - awful form, a dreadful injury list, and let’s be honest, a coaching team very few of us wanted.

That said if we care to think outside the box, we have a lot to be thankful for - a conservative but very affluent stable owner and benefactor, a stadium and set up that will one day help us reach the Premier League, and the probability that when we do get there, that we have access to a massive fan base across the South West that can, and will, sustain Premier League status.

Finally, it’s been a tough year for many, with families having lost loved ones due to the pandemic - stay passionate all, but remember, it’s a game we are following so let’s keep frustrations in perspective.

Lets hope 2021 is better for us all, in so many ways.

Happy New Year.

I thought you going to say Government !   But seriously a bad year for everyone. I lost my beloved brother and through that suffered depression (not helped by the " breath of fresh air " appointment )

Let's hope for a better year on and off the pitch. Have a good'un every body and join in a rousing chorus of Auld Lang Sine  (Look daddy, teacher says...every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings )

So sorry to hear about your brother Slarti - just know you’re not alone mate - my private messages/DM (whatever the youngsters call them) are open if you need to reach out ... take care mate

I can appreciate you've been through a bad time Slarti. Things will get better with time. You are one of those posters who I look up to and I invariably agree with your views. I also value your accurate recollections of games of the past (especially games against the gas!). So keep posting mate and keep your chin up

Thanks for that,getting better day by day ( Sertraline  is good gear ) I don't want to make this all about myself, I know many people on here have had it tough or even tougher.       So, heads up for a brand new year........COYR !

Thank you, I have a good memory for those bygone days (mid 60's to 80's) I think it was because I was just a lad and everything was new and an adventure, so was ingrained in my memory  (just don't ask me who we played last week, though I expect we lost).

It'funny ,you saying "chin up " it was one of the last things he said to me, it was one of his sayings "chin up, lad"!
