    That's great. Now, how do I go about declaring my house as independent to the UK? 🤪

    I guess you'll have to move NW9 but if it's to the USA check out the location as the cost of your town property tax (Equiv of rates in the UK) will likely go through the roof!!!!

    IFollow is much better this season. The only occasional problem is loss of the Radio Stoke commentary.  I don't remember any problems with the video this season.  

    Yep I agree, iFollow has become very reliable this last few seasons with the only hiccups being the occasional audio blip.

    It's come along way from the first few years when the sound and video often weren't synchronized, the video used to cut out/freeze for long periods and sometimes it was touch and go if video could be accessed at all. No score was shown on the screen so if you went to the loo and a team scored you didn't know etc.

    Admin - Apols for the above double post, delete one if possible, OVF didn't appear to take the original submission so I tried again.

  3. Looks looks International Audiences will carry on as usual and not be affected by any changes.

    Thank heaven for that, iFollow has been a lifeline to the Vale for me.

    CHANGES TO CURRENT WAYS OF WATCHING

    - Will matches still be available to watch via iFollow, or Clubs’ alternative streaming services?

    From the 2024/25 season onward, this new deal with Sky Sports will effectively replace the EFL’s domestic video streaming option provided via iFollow and club streaming services

    - Audio services will remain alongside existing audio-visual arrangements for international audiences.

  4. Just look at the improvement in virtually everything PVFC from the day the Shanahans took over to now.

    Just for the  record Carol says around 6 mins 30 secs, "First and foremost it's a football club and success on the pitch is what it's all about", so her main focus is clear although events on the pitch this season haven't gone to plan.

    Exactly why recruitment has been so poor resulting in the current predicament in Lge 1 will likely never be known, If we go down it can/will be rectified.

     

  5. That Peterborough team have the best collection of attacking players in Lge 1, same as last season.

    If they don't get auto promo I doubt they'll go through via the play-offs as a better team than Vale will exploit the space they leave when attacking, they're like a "group of flat track bullies".

  6. Damn, looked like a deflected shot but it was coming from the 1st second of the game.

    Attack and defense like we used to play as kids, their attackers are very skillful, pacey and athletic. Vale did well doubling up on their wide players but one moment of lost concentration and it's wiped out all the hard work.

    If we don't score keep it a 1-0 and certainly don't allow a big defeat.

    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 🙂

    Absolutely fine dining at it's best but I'd add an nice sausage or two in there as well plus a couple of fried eggs.  I've got to wait 'til tomorrow night for my next fill of oatcakes.

    Oatcakes and a full English as good as food gets.

    V Wigan after plants shots deflected he as gotta be smashing that not toe poking it .

    Appeared to me that the defender tackled Dipepa just as he was about to shoot so he had no time to lift or smash it, I couldn't tell whether the ball came off the defender or Dipepa.

    Just incredible that we didn't score from that passage of play.

    They hit the inside of the post and Yak nearly had an OG on his record. 

    Luck is not the way to win football games.

    Not saying it is the way to win football games but luck, run of the ball does play a role sometimes especially the timing of the luck. I want Vale to have the luck/run of the ball now in these final, crucial games of the season and not their opposition.

  10. Good point but 3 would have been a dream. People say there's no luck in football, well how the ball didn't go in the Wigan net from the deflected shot by Plant and the follow up by Dipepa was pure luck for Wigan.

    Massive game Wednesday for Vale and Tuesday for Cheltenham.

    Still got a fighting chance of staying up.

    Valid question - how did it come to this?

    I stood in Cambridge Utd's pothole strewn car park this week, watching my car being washed and looking around at the portakabins, occasional skip and other assorted junk, not to mention their second rate ground and asked myself the very same question.

    This season, in addition to Okenabirhie, Cambridge added Ahadme (top scorer on loan from Ipswich), Kachunga, Kaikai and Lyle Taylor. These five have scored 33 goals for them in 128 appearances, goals that look virtually certain to keep them up. Last game, ironically, they put three past Wigan.

    Cambridge have smaller attendances than we do - and I infer, a smaller budget - and yet they had seemingly little difficuly in adding forwards to their squad having lost Smith and Knibbs to Reading in the summer. So we are entitled to ask some searching questions about striker recruitment. Cambridge are a well managed club, a community club, and they have an unrelenting focus on what happens on the pitch first and foremost.

    To me, therefore, our owners have got to have a serious look at where their priorities lie. This season may be too late (let's hope and pray not) but next season needs a complete change of focus. If not, we can expect more of the same.

    I'd love to know exactly what the process was, that's assuming there was a process.

  12. Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes performing the Etta James Blues & Soul classic, "I'd Rather Go blind". Her voice and the guitar playing are sublime.

    Wonder how you get a ticket to those gigs?

  13. Dipepa will likely leave for a big chunk o' dosh and this will give the money to sign a couple of goal scorers providing the daft player wage structure/ceiling still isn't in place. 

    If we do go down I'd like to see most of the current squad stay and together with 4-6 quality additions would provide some continuity and quality for a quick return to Lge 1.

    Chopping and changing a dozen+ players a season is not the way forward.
