  • PICTURE OF THE DAY

Bend it like Halmosi

  • ON THIS DAY - 6 FEBRUARY

  • 1961: In the Football League Cup, 4th Round, 2nd Replay, Argyle 3 Aston Villa 5. Three years before the celebrated Newman/Trebilcock penalty routine, Johnny Newman scored the night's second goal in the same manner. The referee ordered a re-take after Wilf Carter's spot-kick was saved by the Villa keeper, and to everyone's amazement, he knocked his second attempt forward for the on-rushing Newman to crash the ball home.

  • 1990: John Gregory was appointed caretaker manager after Ken Brown's departure.

  • 2007: Tony Capaldi won his 21st cap for Northern Ireland and so beat Moses Russell's tally of international appearances whilst with the club, a record that had lasted 78 years.

Greens on Screen and Semper Viridis: amateur, committed, advert-free  

Greens on Screen is run as a service to fellow supporters, in all good faith, without commercial or private gain.  I have no wish to abuse copyright regulations and apologise unreservedly if this occurs. If you own any of the material used on this site, and object to its inclusion, please get in touch using the 'Contact Us' button an the top of each page.

Greens on Screen’s first page was published in January 1999. Its early purpose was to bring Plymouth Argyle a little closer to those unable to see their team, and whilst it has changed a great deal over the years, its core themes - sites and sounds for ‘exiles’ - still stand. The site was very lucky to take on the content of Trev Scallan’s Semper Viridis in the summer of 2007, and in 2009 launched GoS-DB, a wealth of facts and figures from PAFC’s history.

Greens on Screen is an amateur website and proud of it. It is run by one person as a hobby, although Trev’s help and support since we amalgamated has been considerable, and the content would be much the poorer without the terrific contribution of a band of volunteers. Above all, GoS is self-taught and as a result, a little bit quirky. It’s also a bit different, and amongst a few stubborn principles, advertisements will never appear (and don’t get me started on the plague of betting promotions on other sites). 

Greens on Screen began its life before many others, including the club’s official site. Years ago there was a large gap to be filled, and although there’s now a wide variety to choose from, GoS’s sole aim, to be a service to fellow supporters, still seems to have a place.

Thanks!

You might have wondered why GoS-DB is represented by an image on GoS's home page, rather than a plain text link like everything else. That's simply to show that it leads to a significant amount of content - a site within a site if you like - and now it's not alone. Over on the right you see a new image for Home Park, and later in the year there'll be a third.

The new Home Park image links to a 'hub page' for everything to do with Argyle's traditional home, or at least it will. At the moment, there's still content in the form of plain text links on this page, but that will move over in the next few weeks, and I’ll resurrect a very large number of Phase 1 images and video clips. And of course, fingers crossed, it's where the development of the new Home Park stadium and surrounding area will appear.

To begin the idea, the hub's first content is a record of the Public Consultation event, held this weekend and today, and a link to leave your comments about the new proposals. If you can, get along to the Pyramid Suite between 10:00 and 17:00 today; it’s a great chance to ask questions and hear Tony Campbell explain more about the grand design.
