The French Connection

Apparently, Rhys has made 19 appearances for Liverpool first team, including in the Premier League and Champions League.

He's already played a fair bit of men's football, don't forget.

Re Thomas, he is a good player and should have been played more.

Lots of dreaming and assuming going on there, methinks! 😉

AC said after the game that Garrity's is now a 'long term injury'. 😩

I see Carlisle signed 3 yesterday, inc Armstrong from Harrogate.

Wilder clearly preparing for next season in the Championship, when Blaster could be a key player. He's out for another 4/6 weeks anyway, so we obviously had to move on now.

Arblaster has been recalled by Sheffield United. A blow, and another hole to fill.

Hell yes, that would be horrendous.

Either way, it looks like it might be an interesting window for the Vale. We can but hope!

Not what I said nor what I was 8nferring. I was suggesting that given our modest budget, possibly half Plymouth's last year, and around a tenth of that of Ipswich, maybe we are doing quite well to be battling along in the lower reaches of L1? Also, when people start comparing us to other clubs, maybe they should also compare budgets before having a moan!

From the Stokinel, what Schumacher spent last year. Sobering stuff for a Vale fan. Reading this, I reckon the Vale do very well, punching above their weight!

Struggling to see your objections to this loan move? He's going to get good game time and experience for a few weeks. Obviously what he needs.

Gibbo not in Rovers squad tonight. Injured or out of favour?

Sounds to me like Walters has been tapped up. Hope we get a decent fee for him.

Foyle was working for Motherwell.

I started to write a response to that pathetic remark, but gave up. It would be wasted on you.

I don't see that he did say how they would have done at Vale. He was just pointing out that none of them has shone this season, and that Garrity has scored more than any of them. Simples.

We really do need another emoji option, one that says 'I disagree'.

Again!

I don't think they had much choice. My feeling is that DC must have desperately needed a break to come to terms with his loss. The outcome also justified the means, we stayed up.

Sounds good to me. I've always had an affinity to Hearts. A friend, back in the 60s, called his Subuteo centre forward Stenhousemuir!

Why Montrose?

Well, as I spend more than 6 months each year in France, my permanent and only home, I am classed as Resident in France, and therefore declare and pay tax on my income in France. I imagine the same rule applies to Stevie G and the likes. So if they are still domicile in the UK, and spend a majority of their time in the UK, that's where they'll pay their tax.

That depends on where he's classed as 'Resident' , I think.
