    Are Exeter 'experimenting' much - I wouldn't know if many of their team are regulars or not.

    I read this week that a player who plays centre half and has been at the club since once a kid, claimed he’d played his last game for them in midweek.

    If that means ppl with dodgy firesticks can’t watch, then great. Personally I’m happy with the desperate and witty comments provided by all the commentators on OVF, far more entertaining. I’d describe it as our own Gogglebox.

    The odds would have been against it, just as they would have been against getting to half-time at 0-0.

    But it was exactly the right plan against a high-flying Peterborough side.

    Darren Moore has shown a really pragmatic approach.

    Playing more openly against sides we can potentially beat, given our side's current stage of development under Darren.

    And playing it really tight against sides which are clearly a lot better than us - trying to force a draw or even a spawny win on a late breakaway.

    But if that doesn't work, at least not letting the GD be hammered.

    Excellent football management, working with what he has got.

    Alan, Carlisle went there and thumped them. So how bad are we if that’s DM’s tactics. We just don’t turn up to any games.

    His dad has passed away and I think his mum too frail to go these days.

    His vitriol and abuse has increased ten fold now he's solo. 

    His mum and dad travelled on club buses and were dropped off at Mill Hill. Sad news regarding his dad.

    I was in Johnnys a couple of years ago and I think the next game was away midweek, probably Peterborough. I knew one of two lads he was with and told me that they had a free ticket if I wanted to go. Martin was there he’s completely different when not at a PVFC game. I politely declined the fabulous offer.

    Sounds like Martin. 

    Fruit loop. Amazed he's never been nicked. I swear with the best but he's vile. 

    If it’s Martin when I used to have an ST in the RS. He’d sit with his elderly mother and father. His mother was for ever grabbing his arm trying to get him to sit down. Her efforts would last about fifteen seconds then he’d be off again with his extremely colourful language.

    I asked a couple of months ago about a youth called ‘Normal’ who went in the 80’s. Does anyone know his identity.?

    The Peterborough owner and chairman, Darragh MacAnthony, has had >>18 years<< to develop their club, and has done an excellent job.

    Their scouting set-up is brilliant (and I hope the model for the setup that I'm sure Vale are trying to build) and has earned them a lot of money in the transfer market, as well as filling their team with the quality they showed tonight.

    Darragh MacAnthony has also poured in £millions of his own money into the club.

    Peterborough are paying out nearly £5 million a year in wages despite only averaging around 9,000 gates.

    And still Peterborough have spent about half of the last 18 years in League 1, having repeatedly yoyoed back down from the Championship.

    To state the obvious, it's extremely difficult to run a successful football club.

    Carol has already achieved some excellent progress with the Vale, notably with the new and excellent management team she has put in place at significant cost.

    And Carol has once again shown her financial commitment with an promising new signing as the club begin to build for next season.

    Although it's hard to do, especially after a painful night like tonight, the Vale fans need to be patient and positive - the club is going in the right direction however the rest of this season pans out.

    And anyway we still have every chance to start next season in League 1.

    Come on Vale.

    Alan, Darren Ferguson is in his fourth term as their manager. I wouldn’t want any of our previous managers back a second time never mind four times.

    Long time ago I worked with a Mac Town  players mum. Vale wanted to sign him but couldn’t match his Salary from his decent full time job and his part time wages at Mac. I can see salary levels having to decrease as the current levels are not sustainable and players opting to play part time and have a proper job

    I remember reading the same some years ago regarding a Paul Showler. He was a police officer in South Yorks and played for Barnett. They only met up for match days due to players travelling. Middlesbrough were interested in him but they needed to buy out his police salary and pension it was quoted to be £1m. This was based on how much he’d earn during his time if he completed 30 years in the police and then his pension. Boro didn’t buy him. 

    About 10 years ago I was flying back to England and sat next to a lad on the plane who was playing for Buxton at the time and they were playing at Hednesfield the following day. Britain was frozen over and I told him the game would be cancelled. He told me he knew but if he didn’t fly back he’d be fined. He told me he was on £400 a week having started at Leeds United with Danny Rose.

    He's been long time rumoured to have an interest there. I believe an ex Vale employee known to him may still work there. He's also linked with Torquay according to some of their fans plus any other clubs struggling no doubt. 

    The shark is circling. I read this week that Torquay National South are thinking of going part time as they’re reportedly losing £100k a month. I wonder if others will eventually follow. Also if others do, will in a decades time L1&L2 be forced into doing the same🤷‍♂️

    Listened to MacAnthony on Talk Sport Friday. I normally find that he talks a lot of sense, even though he is a massive Liverpool fan. He was claiming that he pays the Peterborough defence a £500 bonus if they don’t concede. TBH I thought the first line of defence was your forward line. Unless there are bonuses for other positions I’d be trying to get in the defence.
