  1. A couple of things, more money for Vale as folk like me gave up on Ifollow years ago due to the less than acceptable quality in the first three seasons. 

    It was mentioned a while ago that games would be streamed on Sky Sports outside of the 3pm blackout, therefore it makes sense to close down iFollow domestically. 

    If iFollow continues overseas then its a win win for all. 

     

  2. I didn't watch it, what formation was it? BBC Sport suggests 4-5-1 with Garrity, our main goal threat wide right. WTF??? I saw that and thought we cannot defend for 90 minutes, they only need one goal and game over, we have nothing out there that is any threat. Chislett on the bench? Rested or carrying a knock?

    3-0 shows where we are.

  3. If we can keep our 12th clean sheet of the season (I think), then that is very commendable. Maybe, just maybe we claw ourselves out of this.

    Will Posh be knackered after Wembley or absolutely raring to go?

    Again, I have no idea which way it will go, so will go with the table as it lies.

    Posh 3 - 1 Vale.

  4. I am gutted for him. When we needed him he stepped up and was part of a great promotion team. While I think we should do what we can to support him, the best we can realistically offer is a play and pay deal which I don't think would be good for him. A lower slower level which is easier on his body would be better for his immediate future.

    He has my best wishes. Good luck to the lad.

  5. I think we can write off Posh and Bolton (hope to be wrong), but I think we will need another 7 or 8 points. So 2 wins and 2 draws.

    I cannot see us getting anything at Wigan, so that makes it even more tricky. Thankfully I gave up ages so if we stay up it is a massive bonus.

  6. If a DOF will help with the football infrastructure within the club, and stay help with scouting then I am all for having one. DM should have the final say on signings, tactics, and formations.

    Martin Foyle was in his early managerial career when he was at Vale. Maybe he has more knowledge now and could work.

    For the second time in a week, this is my last positive post of the season in our last must win game until next week.

    Burton 1 - 2 Vale. I would love to see Massey and Loft score. I have not said anything nice about them, so time for them to stick two fingers up to me and fight fight fight for the Vayul.

    913 Valiants.

    Wow, half way there. Build that man a statue.

    Great news. I wonder if this will unite the fans or if after we lose Saturday it will be same old. Who will be next to take the blame? I give it 3 months then it’s Moore’s turn. Then after that Carol in about September. 
     

     

    It festers in our DNA doesn't it when trying to point the finger and blame anybody we can. Maybe because after years of bad owners and complete and utter tripe we feel we have been let down again. It feels worse now as we have owners/an owner whose heart is in the right place.

    I would say we need/needed to get rid of whoever was responsible for the subs after 60 minutes in the FA Cup, whoever is/was responsible for the duff sideways football, whoever is/was responsible for recruitment. 

    I would have been more than happy for Flitcroft to stay only if he was nowhere near the first team. I was more than happy for him to build the infrastructure within. We do need experience in there to help. I would welcome Colin Garlic back, he seemed to be a really great person to have around the club.

    Last day fixtures have always been different kick off times tbf mate. Certainly for the past 10 years or so. Wasn't the Walsall game that we lost 5 nil a Sunday game with a 12:30pm kick off.

    Not always, Brighton away for example in ‘94 was 3pm on a Saturday. They did start to change it towards the late 90’s on and off just to piiss fans off…..disguised as giving the lower leagues more exposure which is a croc. 
    still time for it to be move to a Sunday yet.

    Sure he was the manager when we went down in 2000

    Which is exactly what I am saying, he finally achieved his ambition having put the kiss of death on it a million times.

    Brian Horton was a good Vale manager. Just off to get my tin hat ready for those that think differently.

    We can't all always agree, my opinion is that he was crap. Apart from one season, he finished lower every year and managed to achieve his ambition 'having never been relegated as player or manager' as he used to spout. I thought he was complete gash. Nothing against the guy and wish him well with his health.

    That's right but we managed to make a profit of £75,000 by selling him to Sheff.Utd.

    Sheffield....who went on to make a profit of over 5.5milion quid from him. The problem was that Rudge signed him and was sacked a week later. Ballbag Horton then played Bent on the right wing instead of as a natural striker.
