A little respite before the storm I suppose. But, not really.
The U10 lads have their final regular season game before play-offs - if they win tomorrow morning
they'll be seeded 6th going into the post season.
Sunday morning at 9 is the final training session with the Thanksgiving Tournament Team, and then
at 12:00 noon is the start of the Dinamo Recruitment Session at Griffith Park - and the launch of
the Women's Team.

Torquay United 3 - 1 Cheltenham TownFA Cup 1st round Saturday 7th November
The reds took another 3-1 thrashing at the hands of Torquay. I was not present to experience the
pain of Lee Ridley's dismissal by Mr. Sheldrake in the 19th minute. I assume this was the same Mr.
Sheldrake who officiated at the first home match of the season where Cheltenham recorded their only
home win so far.

The reds took another thrashing in Torquay. However, I was not present to enjoy the equisite sense
of fury which would no doubt have resulted from witnessing Lee Ridley's 19th minute dismisal by Mr.

The U10 lads are in a bit of a slump as it turns out. Last weeks loss and yesterday a 5-3 loss. Now
the lads are 4w's and 3l's with no D's. It was one of those games that didn't auger well - the
other team only had 6 so I agreed (not my best decision in hindsight) to match them 6 on 6.
Of course, it was disruptive because we've been playing well with a 2-1-2-1 outfield - so I have to
take part of it on the chin.

Do you change teams when the results go bad ? Poor old baldy, the tribulations of supporting
Newcastle United. Nick was the talismanic epicenter of the LA Vale team that was unbelievably
successful in 2007 - arguably the most successful football team in Los Angeles ever.
2009 and Nick is the talismanic epicenter of the FK Dinamo team, top scorer, captain, pre-match
motivator and all round great bloke, basque anarchist, intellectual, debater, supporter, friend.

On April 26, 2007 Will Brooks had the bright idea of re-inventing the way soccer is managed. He
started MyFootballClub.com, a site that is basically a community of fans who get together and play
a fantasy soccer, except the team is real. The community of members pooled all of their money and
collectively purchased Ebbsfleet United, a soccer club that plays in the Conference National League
in England.

The Offside 11 August @ 02:30 PM EST
The Football League Show is a brand new BBC production about people who are good at football, but
not that good. It, much like Football League footballers, has high expectations but sometimes falls
through in that 'ol execution department. Such as on this weekend's debut show, when they cut from
a Torquay United highlight to [.

Torquay United Football Club, nicknamed the Gulls, is an English association football club based in
the seaside resort town of Torquay, Devon. They played in the Conference National in 2008–09, but
were promoted to The Football League Two after a 2–0 win over Cambridge United on 17 May 2009.
The return to the The Football [.

I typically become a bit discombobulated between seasons, it's not the lack of structure per se -
it's just loss, absence.
That hasn't heppened to the same degree this year, because of the joy of my beloved Torquay United
returning to the football league. The new League 2 starts tomorrow - and the lads are at Plainmoor
hosting Chesterfield.

As Paul Buckle beckoned his staff and squad pitchside in the dying few seconds of the Conference
playoff final, you could forgive the Torquay United manager for wanting to make the most of the
day. This was the third time in as many years Buckle had stood on the touchline at Wembley but
until this year he'd never tasted victory at the home of English football.

FC Boro 17 May @ 05:09 PM EST
There was another good result at Wembley today as local rivals Cambridge United were beaten 2-0
by Torquay United, who returned to the football league after a two year absence. The Amber Army
were the dominant force in the first half, but were not clinical enough in front of goal and were
punished 10 minutes before half-time when a Chris Hargreaves long range effort found the net.

Stevenage Borough v Kidderminster Harriers. Tomorrow night's game is arguably bigger than the
FA Trophy Final between the two sides in 2007 at the new Wembley Stadium. Boro are a point away
from Harriers who are currently in the last remaining play-off spot with just two games remaining.
Kiddy drew at the weekend away at Histon, while Stevenage were held by Torquay United in a
frustrating encounter at Broadhall Way.

Stevenage go into the last week of the season with three huge games to play.
Firstly, Torquay United visit Broadhall Way in a massive six pointer on Saturday, before
Kidderminster Harriers make the trip to Hertfordshire on Tuesday night in another six pointer. Boro
win them two games, then a place in the play-offs is ours.

Who will be playing league football next season?
Following their 17th win of the season, Burton Albion look set for automatic promotion. The
question remains on who will join them in League Football Two?
Torquay United's automatic promotion chances were dealt a cruel blow yesterday when they suffered
their first defeat in twelve games.

Issue 24 of The Broadhall Way is due for release on 18th April when Torquay United visit the
Lamex Stadium and the fanzine are looking for your contributions.
They are looking for several fans to answer a few questions to share their views on the season,
your views on the battle for the play offs - can we do it?

19:45 Burton Albion v Torquay United, Blue Square Premier, Setanta Sports 1
Top-of-the-table Burton suffered a shock 4-0 defeat to Crawley Town on Saturday. Still, if you're
going to crash and burn, best do it when (a) you're nine points clear at the top, and (b) your
nearest rivals - Cambridge and Histon - lose at the same time.

Monday went well. Dinamo Spartak won 3-1 - and there was only 1 against because a penalty was
awarded against us for a handball in the box. Our earlier penalty plea was denied, of course. Nenad
the Croation Pastor / Kit Thief bagged a brace and Erik Kuska scored one - of course, he did - I
wasn't there.

After last nights exertions, and this morning's disappointment - practical realities set in. My Mum
& Dad until recently lived in Arnside on Morecambe Bay and I always held in my head the role of the
Arnside FC coach as the role model for lower division football.
Lower division 'coaches' are called upon to cut the grass, mark the pitch, put up the nets, slop
out the showers (if you're lucky enough to have them) and, of course - wash the kit.

Football gives you the highs and lows, often one right after the other.
In an incredibly entertaining match at Santa Monica Airport Field, FK Dinamo beat Avanti 2-1 an
outcome that this group of lads in all their configurations had failed to come up with previously.
LA Vale won the Premier League season XII in late 2007 of course, but did so without beating the
then reigning champs.

That few hours before kick off still gives me butterflies in my stomach. I'll be suiting up for
Dinamo Lokomotiv tonight - an 8:25 KO at LA Muni's John Ferraro complex in Griffith Park. Last week

community.

Player gets yellow card, but spared the plank Chipstead's Daryl Coleman wasn't going to let his
fifteen seconds of fame go to waste when he scored a beautiful free-kick during his side's 4-1
defeat to Torquay. He did the only thing he could under the circumstances: donned a pirate hat to
celebrate his goal.

The casual observer might have thought that the world was at their feet. A not unimpressive
mid-table finish and a Wembley win against Torquay United in the FA Trophy coupled with the deep
pockets of Eurostar and the worldwide interest of MyFootballClub should, in theory at least, have
set Ebbsfleet United up for an improved [.
