  1. Difficult to believe that SHREWSBURY have lost more League One matches 20 than any other team, also lowest goals scored 26 and worst goal difference minus 25. On Saturday I was in SHREWSBURY officiating on a local grassroots football match and on my way home after my game, I tuned into the second half OF SHREWSBURY V BLACKPOOL. BLACKPOOL were the dominant team and according to the Radio Shropshire commentary team SHREWSBURY were toothless and never looked like scoring against a good BLACKPOOL side. But after the game their commentary team were adamant that PORT VALE away although a "BIG GAME" for SHREWSBURY was a good opportunity to get three more points towards safety. Surely VALE'S dwindling opportunities to gain salvation means the only result which is classed as a success is 3 points. This is last chance saloon. But I have just about given up on VALE escaping the trapdoor. Let's hope that Darren Moore can get rid of the dead wood, who have not been good enough this season and recruit a promotion winning team in League Two next season, to regain faith in the team for the Hardy VALE faithful.

  2. VALE 2 LINCOLN 1 VALE 1 FLEETWOOD 1 DERBY 3 VALE 1 VALE 2 SHREWSBURY 1 Where are the goals going to to from? If Vale are going to give themselves a chance of avoid the dreaded drop, 7 points in the next 4 games, is essential. But the return of Garrity is crucial to the team. With Funso Ojo also back Vale have a fighting chance and with DM installing self belief into the players. The time has come for the players to reward the fans. UTV
  3. Unreal appointment by PVFC. DF and Carol have received some unwarranted grief, during a traumatic period for PVFC. YES it has been really difficult period for all Vale fans and with disappointing previous appointments and NO disrespect to Andy Crosby, his appointment was so under whelming. But Darren Moore's appointment has to be Vale's best appointment since either Micky Adams or John Rudge and with Darren Moore signing a five and a half year contract, it means Vale hierarchy mean serious business. Darren Moore was not only a good player, but also cut his managerial career first at WBA, followed by a successful stint at Doncaster Rovers, he then went big time at Sheffield Wednesday doing a fantastic job. Reawakening a sleeping South Yorkshire giant. His demise at Hillsbrough was taken by most Owls fans as nothing short of disgraceful, by Owls shambolic owner and look what DM Wednesday demise has done to The Owls. They are starring down the barrel of relegation back to League One. When DM took on Huddersfield Town he was on a hiding to nothing and YES it failed to work out. But since Huddesfield slipped out of The Premier League they have been struggling in the lower reaches of The Championship. DM can now rekindle his ambitions and rejuvenate the Vale support. Let's hope with 17 league games to go DM can save Vale from the dreaded drop and gain positivity for his managerial reign at Vale Park. UTV
  4. Many strong and accurate viewpoints on this forum & YES I have stated that Andy Crosby needs to be held accountable for Vale's indifferent form and the inexcusable defeat to basement club Fleetwood. But Andy Crosby was appointed manager with NO MANAGERIAL EXPERIENCE. The main culprit although he NEVER appears to do public interviews and hides in the background is so called DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL DAVID FLITCROFT. Carol needs to oust them both. But like other Vale fans I can't see it happening. Near neighbours of ours have experienced the same issues this season and have partly solved their problems by sacking unpopular manager Matt Taylor at Shrewsbury, but again their clueless so called Director of Football remains. Possibly like Vale it is down to finance.
  5. If Carol wants to keep Vale fans on board. Andy Crosby has to have managed his FINAL game at Vale. PVFC can still finish in a comfortable mi table position. But losing 3-0 at Fleetwood has to be the final nail in Andy Crosby's tenure as PVFC manager. No point in Crosby coming onto Radio Stoke and blaming his players for a lack of enthusiasm, passion and energy. Yes the players are to blame to a degree and they get well paid. But the buck stops with Andy Crosby and if he is not sacked after the Fleetwood result, relegation is looking a certainty and attendances will also plunge rapidly. UTV
  6. PLAYA AMODORES really appreciate your comments. But unfortunately FA'S fail to back REFEREE'S sufficiently at Grassroots level, that's why so many quit the "BEAUTIFUL GAME". Two weeks ago I REFEREED a top of the table clashing STAFFORD and DISTRICT SUNDAY LEAGUE the home team won fairly and squarely 2-1. The away team manager confronted after the game. To give me his opinion as to why I was a crap REFEREE. I cautioned 5 and sent off one player from the away team and one caution for home team. Myself like REFEREE at VP V PORTSMOUTH should always be impartial and as stated previously. We should not care who wins as long as our decisions are honest. Remember we are not robots so YES some will be incorrect and unfortunately for REFEREE at VP v PORTSMOUTH, situation caused major implications for him. The fan stating that a PRISON SENTENCE is harsh. There needs to be a precedence outlined here. Their quote " THE FAN ONLY RAN ONTO THE PITCH." It is NOT ACCEPTABLE I could understand to a degree if this was MILLWALL a club who for decades have had their image tarnished by thugs. Their fans motto "NO ONE LIKE US AND WE DON'T CARE". Vale don't need that. Remember the Play Off Pitch Invasion v Swindon. It cost the club. Let's hope today's solo pitch invasion doesn't. UTV
  7. I was NOT at VP today as I am a REFEREE and YES we do mistakes. I NEVER intentionally make mistakes but it happens. Fortunately for me I only REFEREE in grassroots football and on the whole I LOVE REFEREEING. Had two matches today and another Sunday morning, easy money for me. I was attacked six years ago in a STAFFORDSHIRE FA SUNDAY CUP MATCH and that was because a player believed that he had been fouled. I refused to give him a free kick, so he thought it was OK to punch me. He got fined £100 + 12 month ban from playing football. My belief is that any player or " SO CALLED FAN", who either assaults or attempts to assault " THE REFEREE", should get a LIFETIME BAN. Fortunately the idiot who attempted to assault the REFEREE at VP did not have a knife. The consequences and aftermath of a situation like that don't bear thinking about. Most fans have opinions of REFEREE'S and all REFEREE'S should be impartial. OK maybe it wasn't a penalty I don't know as I wasn't at VP. But no fan has the right to go onto the field of play and threaten an official. Whether you agree with or her decision or not. The so called fan will now receive a lifetime ban from VP and possibly all UK football grounds. They should also appear in court next week and receive an immediate prison sentence. PORT VALE like any other club can't stop a random idiot entering the field of play and YES VALE could receive a fine. But tougher sanctions should NOT happen at this point. When although totally different situation READING fans got their home match with VALE abandoned. As everyone with common sense knows that was related to the shambolic way the so called owner has treated all associated with READING FC. But with so much knife crime now in society, it can't be that far away that an official or even a player is stabbed by a moron. Really disappointed to hear that VALE were not at the races today. Possibly ANDY CROSBY should go, but unless you are SHREWSBURY who last weekend sacked Matt Taylor and have now been reunited with Paul Hurst who nearly took them to The Championship. First game back today SHREWSBURY win 2-0 at Northampton, Old manager new ideas. Perhaps VALE can get Micky Adams back. Otherwise if Crosby goes. Who comes in? Gareth Ainsworth? UTV
  8. Liam Brazier young Vale talent on the radar of "Spanish Giants Barcelona", it might well be " pie in the sky", but the information has surfaced from somewhere. Whatever speculation there is surely to a certain degree is good news for the club in general. Can never remember a season like this for so much young talent coming off the Vale Academy production line and integrated into the first team squad. Also this season bringing in " Premier League Young Talents", Olly Arblaster and Alfie Devine who today made his Championship debut for Plymouth Argyle and had an assist in one of Plymouth's goals. Vale have know brought in Jensen Weir from Brighton, who was very productive last season at Morecambe. Now young centre back Rhys Williams from Liverpool and a possibility of another talented young starlet Dan Gore midfield player from Manchester United. I think it is amazing that a club such as PORT VALE can attract young talent that want to learn their footballing trade at Vale and fair play to Andy Crosby. He may well not be everyone's cup of tea. But full admiration to him for giving youth chance and introducing Premier League Starlets of the future to " The Wembley of The North at Vale Park". UTV
