No I haven’t listened to any of them.

Thanks I will give them a try.

Listened to the Plymouth Preview Pod and hearing Bezza say about his meetings with Flitcroft 

Why doesn’t that surprise me !

I have read other peoples comments about him on other clubs forums etc.

Like I have mentioned before on the One Vale Fan Forum, I was disappointed that Carol had been led down the Garden Path, so to speak, by him !

That is fair enough.

I would counter that with Ian Evatt had only National League & League Two experience with Barrow before taking over at Bolton

Yeh Good Call !

Evatt has done a good job at Bolton but remember he has had a much higher budget than what Wild would have at Vale !

Why would you not want Pete Wild?

Has not got League One Experience.

FC Halifax ? Oldham ?  
Remember Neil Aspin and Lee Sinnott !

Just my opinion but I feel we need someone who knows the League !

[Ale and the Vale Podcast]

Congratulations Lads on the Award.

Nice to see Vale win something!

Regards how the lads feel about the New Manager is mixed. 
Appointing a coach who has not managed before is not the way I would go, Look at Duncan Ferguson!

Mind you I don’t want the Cowleys, Paul Hurst or Pete Wild who were all mentioned.

Everybody has their own opinions on whose to blame etc  for this Current Situation whether it be Flitcroft,Clarke or the Players.

The Blame starts and finishes with the Owners, it is their business and their money !

Since January the decline has started and they have been rather too hesitant in doing anything about it !

Last few weeks the Restructuring of the club, getting rid of Staff, getting rid of Garlick and now Clarke all seems a little bit too late.

Lets be honest the Recruitment of players this season has been awful.

The medical Team etc ? We have never had so many injuries and/or Fit Players.

Come on Carol, which ever league we are in next season, things need sorting out.

Use John Rudge and his possible contacts, get the correct advice hopefully and go from there !

Thanks for the latest Pod, the Fleetwood Preview.

Upon listening, one thing is certain, Kirsty is no Susie Dent but likes Carry on up the Kyber

Agreed. Living in the north east these podcasts have given me some of the Vale 'pub talk' back that I've been missing. Thank to Bez, Jonny, Stu and the rotating guests.

Yeh I quite agree, I live up North West and it’s like being in a Pub in the Potteries.

Thanks Bez and Jonny, keep up the Great Work.

Also the fact you keep mentioning Mental Health Issues and the advice you give and that you are available for people just shows what 2 Great and Caring People you both are.

Take Care Lads and all the best  to you and your families.

Pretty sure it came off his foot onto his arm.  One of them if buts and maybes. No way a stonewall pen.

Thanks Mate for your comment

Just listening to the Swindon 2nd Leg Review. 
Bezza says we got away with the Penalty regarding Mal Benning’s So Called Handball. 
I have watched the TV Replay over and over and no way is it a penalty, he is clearly outside of the penalty area.
Am I the only one with this opinion ?
 
 

I thought in the ground it was a blatant handball but outside the area. Was expecting a free kick. I've not seen it back though.

Thanks Rory I was beginning to think I need to go to Spec Savers.

Thought Malv got a bit unlucky, the ball came off his foot and hit his arm. But his arms were up so in this day and age a free kick. But it was way outside the box surely? 

Anyway who cares. Great pod. Not a day for player ratings really, everyone was a 10. Who was 11 is the question. I'd go Smithy but you could name half a dozen others.

I wasn’t sure that it had hit his foot first. If that’s the case then it isn’t a foul, if the ball hits another part of a players body first then hits the arm it isn’t a free kick or a penalty which ever.

At least that was the law in 2021.

I feel Garrity has really missed Conlon in the side, since Conlon’s absence he has been asked to play different roles, which he isn’t used to. 
You certainly can’t complain at the Lad’s effort though.

[Ale and the Vale Podcast]

Hi Lads,

May I say the Pod on the Swindon 1st Leg Review was really good.

I could tell you were disappointed but you were honest and level headed .

For people like you, I hope Vale get to Wembley and win it, you really deserve it.

Keep up the Good Work Lads
