Up the fuckin Cumbrians! Fantastic result. I did call it, no pressure on Carlisle now they can play with more freedom & defended brilliantly 👏 in our hands tomorrow really is a free hit & a point would be huge. Home games will decide our fate. The great escape is on. Up the Vale 💙

This is tenous, but Stevenage winning is good for us as keeps them in the playoff hunt with Burton and Cheltenham still in their final fixtures.

If roles were reversed and it was Vale in the playoffs having just won at Wembley playing a team at home probably in the bottom 4 tomorrow night- then we know what would happen let’s hope Posh do a Vale 😂

Well done Carlisle

Taken 4 subs though, if Carlisle can weather then next 10-15 mins they have a decent chance

Well, to be fair. OVF covers a fair number of topics and no-one is holding a gun to anyone's head forcing you to read them all. So, with respect, if you aren't interested, that's absolutely fine, just ignore it. However, to answer the question "who cares" - enough users to generate 7,000+ views of the topic and 30+ replies, so it clearly does interest some users. I'm sorry if that in any way sounds condescending - it's really not meant to be. I'm just trying to make the point that although not everything on here will interest everyone, the interest in this topic suggests that while it's not interesting you, others do find it interesting.

Don't forget your turnip. Everyone has to put one on their head and stick a finger up their arse when the opposition score. Massive Vale away game tradition.

Yeah I can burn the calories off By doing a pub crawl after 🤔👍

Have you tried the following passwords? Devine Intervention Phil Myatt

I had a teacher called Glasscock once, and we often wondered whether he had crystal balls.

Every team can look back over the season and say "what if"

I wouldn’t say tomorrow is a free hit. A battering would put us back in the bottom four and kill any confidence we have.

Watching that game in isolation it stunk of a league 2 match next season. Cheltenham were hopeless.

Get the mother f*** in. Unbelievable Jeff.

It's amazing to think that there's a possibility that come the end of the season, there's 4 teams actually worse than us.

Cheltenham rolling the dice. Giving full debuts to two players tonight. Harrop and Thomas. Come on Carlisle.

I've just looked in my crystal ball and i've had a message come through from the other side. Has anyone lost somebody by the name of Nan?

Yes 15 to 20. But night games can be 21.40 job . Just come out when we 3 up after 85 mins.

Train booked ticket brought . I'm looking forwards to it . Nowt lose Vale go for it I don't want see a sit back cowardly performance as it costing me just under 95.60 just get there. It's a one off I don't go many so I'm really buzzing let's hope when I get on that 22-00 return Train I'm getting on with a positive scoreline to Vale SVA cannot wait get behind them .

Feel we need a performance like at Ipswich last season. A 1 goal defeat keeps us above Burton on goals scored. We sure don't need a tanking as that could be unrecoverable.

Only 120 calories and they're delicious.

Best fiver I've spent in a good while !

Yesssss. Huge that. Back in our hands, this will dent their confidence as well.

Stoke dragged back in aswell tonight 🤣 3pts in it.

Longest 4 mins of my life now 😂

Four changes smacks a bit of Clarke mucking it up and now rolling the dice.

Horrible watch now this is

Yet was dog for us . Just seemed to moan at the refs all game.

I've had put it on Wasn't going to, but just can't leave it! Two awful teams really, it makes you realise how poor we've been. Just hope DC doesn't work any ht magic. Fingers crossed.

Even a point is a decent outcome for us. Come on Carlisle

Surely everyone is watching Rep. Ireland v England ?

Yeah the big issue for us is Cheltenham have Carlisle H, Bristol Rovers H, Burton A next three before three tough final fixures so it is possible they win all 3, they'd probably be bookies favourites to win each fixture, if that does happen then it would leave us needing 8 points, or likely win the three home games assuming we lose the two away due to goal difference and that is if they lost all 3 of their last games. I think our fate lies largely with how Cheltenham do their next three games unfortunately. If they get 4-5 points max then we have a chance, otherwise winning all 3 home games and hoping we can overhaul Cambridge, Reading or Shrewsbury might come into it but thats a huge ask considering we've won 1 home game in months. I have had a horrible feeling for a while that those two points thrown away V Fleetwood would come back to haunt us.

Agree 0 points from those 2(Shrewsbury & Cheltenham), 1 from Fleetwood and splitting the points with Carlisle and Burton tells you all you need to know if we do go that's basically why. I think win the 3 home games and we have a fair to middling chance imho. The annoying thing is a couple of (decent)signings in January and we'd have probably been comfortable (around where Bristol Rovers/Wycombe/Wigan are in the table). Can anyone honestly say that would have been too much to ask or punching above our weight for Vale budget and size of club wise? Personnally I don't think so!

4 bacon cheese and plum tomatoes in me oatcakes hit the spot for me I like dipping me Oatcakes in the bacon fat & tomato juice , fine dining at it's best 🙂

IF and it is a big IF despite our improved form we can get a point here and manage a win on Saturday(Exeter wont be easy) then that would give us a great chance of staying up imo

Looked idiotic at the time as well

I think 7pts will be enough if we can get them.

What an idiotic decision it looks now for Brum to bring in Rooney and sack Eustace

Oh God that's given me hope.

Quite nice hearing these commentators moan as well. Couldn’t stand them when they beat us 😂

I’m loving it 😂

Relax guys I've done my double edged sword bet. Just had Cheltenham at 4/1. I never win so I'll happily lose a fiver .

This could be massive for our season!

Carlisle 1 up [emoji6]

Get rid. He doesn't even look interested when he does actually play. Bye.

On Google googled it said 15 minutes walk from station turn right if takes longer I usually walk12 thousand steps at work nightly if I have to run I'll run lol No worries ill see how long it takes get there when get there and leave accordingly .

Seeing as pretty much nobody expects anything from the game it must surely be the right one to go for it 100%. Peterborough certainly won't be expecting it, so throw caution to the winds and go for the jugular right from the whistle. The downside of course is that we could end up with a tonking that could be decisive in the final reckoning. Risk versus reward, the oldest conundrum of all. Personally I would take the risk, faint heart never won fair lady.

Same for Cheltenham, they'd be adrift if we weren't so <ovf censored>. CS, DF to blame, ultimately.

I tend to think the game will be harder now and more likely that Posh will be buoyed by their win rather than suffering from a come down after the highs of Sunday. Beyond the dream of picking up a point, or even 3, the main thing is not to see the GD hammered.

Perhaps it's "I luv Nathan Smith"
