I must have been asleep as I've just discovered that there's no live streaming because BT Sports have the match rights. That's a pretty shoddy deal for the fans of both clubs who aren't already signed up to BT

Nothing Pools can do about it, but perhaps BT & Sky should have their rights withdrawn whilst COVID-19 continues.

I don't suppose it's available on any Freeview channel, so has anybody got any idea if there is a way around this monopoly later this afternoon - other than finding a pub which is showing it?

If you have any friends or family who have BT Sport via Virgin Media, you can login to Virgin TV Go on a PC, smartphone or laptop with their Virgin Media credentials and watch it too.

Thanks Mr Mullet, but I'm not on Virgin TV & don't know anybody on BT Sport, so it's commentary only for me

What do we expect though? We have spent peanuts compared to other clubs. We are making Torquay look like Barcelona.

derwent · **Joined:** Wed Jun 24, 2009 7:59 pm **Posts:** 12367

Half time. We have been played off the park I'm afraid. Created nothing at one end and defended like schoolboys at the other.
Odasina off with what looks like a hamstring.
Hopefully we can improve in the second half.

billinghampoolie1908 · **Joined:** Thu Feb 05, 2015 5:52 pm **Posts:** 4451

We defended like schoolboys against Ilkeston and got away with it, so this score shouldnt surprise anyone.

Double Figures · **Joined:** Mon Apr 16, 2012 8:47 am **Posts:** 845

Revising my prediction to 3-3 now.

derwent · **Joined:** Wed Jun 24, 2009 7:59 pm **Posts:** 12367

Nothing has improved yet, it's now four.

thedno · **Posted:** Sat Oct 31, 2020 7:41 pm

Very very poor, can only see this getting worse hope I am wrong

Bostonpoolie · **Posted:** Sat Oct 31, 2020 7:41 pm

Defended? No evidence of any defence. Molyneuex seems to be the only pools player to have turned up

ZNB12 · **Joined:** Sat Aug 11, 2018 5:50 pm **Posts:** 1159

Footballing lesson tonight.
Donaldson, personally responsible for 2 of the goals.
We look clueless!

Maybe this was the shellshock they needed to bring them back down to earth?

Torquay were excellent. Fair play. Bloomfield and molyneux the only positives I could see. Killip needs a No.2. And a haircut. Work to do.

Hartleblue · **Posted:** Sat Oct 31, 2020 8:38 pm

Toothless, inept, no passion. Only Molyneux can walk off that pitch and say at least I put a shift in. Some harsh words needed in that dressing room and if Donaldson gets another start I give up.

At 4-0 down why not get Williams on and give him some game time, It's the same old story with Pools, I'm beginning to feel as if we have a curse on us.

Johnjo1 · **Joined:** Sun Oct 13, 2019 12:52 pm **Posts:** 1625

Only one word to describe Pools DREADFUL. Only positive I could say was Torquay looked way above National league level.

Hartleblue · **Posted:** Sat Oct 31, 2020 8:46 pm

We hammer Maidenhead 4-0 away and they are now above us...I hate this fookin league banghead

I said it in an earlier post - this team is a certified downgrade on the one that finished last season. Gime Toure, Southam Hales etc. We’ve signed forwards that are complete gambles, Ofusu already dropped, a back four which is now one injury away from crisis as seen tonight. The list goes on.

I don’t think we become a bad team on one showing but I do think when you pay peppercorns for players and you end up with 0 depth, this is what happens. First real challenge and we get bent over and bummed. Torquay good, but by heck did we make it easy for them...

The Raj Singh interview was supposed to be a practice in good PR and served only to outline the fact he turned down a game changing takeover to save face, insulted some fans who ‘hadn’t worked a day of work’ and continued to call out how he needed additional investment.

Challinor is quite literally polishing a turd here.

dstanley · **Joined:** Wed Feb 22, 2012 4:15 pm **Posts:** 677

OK Torquay are a better side and worthy of the top spot but we can finish second.

Just thought I'd give optimism a go but it's crap!

thebigdog · **Joined:** Sat Aug 10, 2013 6:49 pm **Posts:** 1278

I’m not one for digging players out but think Donaldson has been consistently ineffective - and I also think Shelton needs taking out the squad - just drifts through games.

He has been given peanuts to work with. Just got to look at where all these signings came from to know the challenge Challinor has been given. We have played well once at home in four games hardly looked like scoring in that time. I wonder if the fans who think raj is great for knocking back this investment all think it was the right move after tonight. First decent team we have played and they embarrass us.
