Houston Valiant

I have the same addiction. It used to be , “ How did the Vale get on”? Now she only says , “Well”? And I shake my head and wander off talking to myself .

That’s the problem with Vale . They’re following the science, but need a rocket. I’ll get me coat.

I agree , but she has to let go of the reins, show Flitcroft the door , and let Darren Moore have full control over team . When she does that, everything will be more relaxed . The players, bar Garrity and Ripley , will still be <ovf censored> but at least Moore can make his own decisions . Everyone at the club seems to be wound tighter than a spring. You could see it in Moore’s face in the post match interview yesterday. Let’s get back to being Port Vale . We’re not trying to conquer the world. UTV

It’s the new , starchy , do as you’re told , Port Vale. Say yes and you’ll be fine , or otherwise you’re out the door. Many who have given great service , have lost their jobs. Follow the party line. Moore has his hands tied , and he’s working with nothing . It’s very toxic at Vale Park. Carol doesn’t want to admit she was wrong in hiring Flitcroft . The two of them may go down with the ship to the National League , if it stays like this. It wouldn’t surprise me at all. Very sad.

The Lardies will probably be safe, and there are no guarantees yet that Crwho will be promoted, but Vale are down for sure.

I’m trying to be optimistic, but why doesn’t Mighten start ?

Good post that.

Very funny that. 180!!!! ( degree turn , Flitcroft) .

Excellent post. I think you’ve all represented the fans very well at that meeting , and got all your points across in no uncertain manner. I think that a lot of good will come from this. Thanks from across the ( big) pond. UTV

Twenty five years is a long time to be a fan of any club. 👍

You should probably take a break from this.

Ojo was looking to get sent off Saturday.

I agree that being positive is much better for your health , but sticking one’s head in the sand and refusing to face reality is not good . You can be a Happy Clapper , fair enough . However , I think you’re seeing the smaller picture . This is a bad situation that we find ourselves, and I’m thinking that it may be worse next season. It’s not who’s right or wrong , it’s just sad.

The fans are the ones that pay the wages . There is a lot that they can do. If Carol Shanahan , with all due respect, is on her high horse and stands by Flitcroft next season , there’s a problem. She’s a smart business woman , and fair play to her for achieving what she has , but if she talks down to the fans / community like a schoolteacher, there’s a problem. It seems that there is already a divide there. I don’t expect the club to tell us everything , but right now the fans are being treated badly, and it’s going to get worse next season. When we get relegated , Vale won’t be back in League One for a good few years , in my opinion. Darren Moore and Flitcroft are joined at the hip , and Carol Shanahan thinks Flitcroft can do no wrong. That kind of stubbornness , and not wanting to be proved wrong, can only lead to disaster. I’m a long way from Burslem, and my opinion doesn’t hold as much water as many on here , particularly those who go home and away for years, but I can see this ending very badly for Port Vale. It’s toxic both on and off the pitch at the moment , and if something isn’t done , we’ll find ourselves in the National League before long. That may seem impossible , but no club has a divine right to say where they should be . They have to earn it. The work ethic of this current side wouldn’t earn them a job in a butchers shop , yet alone another club. It’s disgraceful, and a slap in the face to the fans. How they can go home with a wage packet and hold their heads up is beyond me. I wonder what Roy Sproson would think ? A true servant , like many others. Sorry for the long ramble , but I’ve never seen the club like this in my 55 years following the Vale. Sometimes it only takes one bad apple , and that’s Flitcroft. Spunk Trumpet is spot on in his posts . Flitcroft is a narcissist, and I fear he will take the club down with him . Then he’ll go back to the family business, and we’ll be left with the crumbs of a football club. I sincerely hope that I’m proved wrong. VTID

All the players have downed tools , except for Garrity and Ripley. We’re going down. The really sad part is that many of those excuses for footballers will be at the club next season.

Fair enough. You’ll probably experience the Conference in two years time.

It’s never a waste of time with Vale going to Wembley . I wish I could have been there. Great memories. Since then though , it’s all gone downhill.

One of the worst players I’ve ever seen for Vale. He’s lazy and has no interest .

Fair play to Garrity . He always gives it his all. Unlucky twice today.

3-0 . FLITCROFT OUT!!!!😡😡😡😡

That’s where we’re headed .

I’m not sure which is worse, watching this or listening to Angela Smith at half time whilst waiting for more torture. 🤣

Ojo doesn’t care anymore. The players are going through the motions . Massey has done that ever since he signed, with his hands on his hips after 5 mins of every game. They know we’re going down , and they’re on the beach already . The worst Vale side I’ve ever seen, except for Ripley and Garrity. Depressing.

2-0 .
