"You can only go to the coffee shop so many times, you can only feed the chickens and the ducks so many times, and, you know, it gives you that edge. I had the heart pumping, nervous before the game, things like that, and you forget really. I even feel quite stiff if I'm honest, and I'm not really doing much running, but it's the adrenaline."
"The referee tried to tell me at half-time that he didn't have an interference. I said 'who told you that?', he said the linesman. Now, the linesman could not possibly have seen the ball go through his legs. They just make it up as they go along, don't they, really? But, hey, listen, that's life."
Neil Warnock, England's most-experienced manager at 77 years old, returned to the dugout after more than two years away, taking charge of Torquay United as caretaker boss following Paul Wotton's dismissal. In his first match, Torquay drew 2-2 against Farnborough in National League South. Warnock, who had been working as an advisor to Torquay's owners since May 2024, expressed that the return brought back familiar emotions—nervousness and adrenaline. Despite going behind early to Wes Fonguck's goal, Torquay equalized through Sonny Blu Lo-Everton before falling behind again to Mason Bloomfield. Kieran Wilson's 88th-minute equalizer secured a point. Warnock brought his characteristic managerial style, disputing refereeing decisions while acknowledging the result.
