  1. Brilliant, glad you got to see a decent game. Safe flight home! Cheers Pal....home and hosed now!
  2. Well worth the trip over! After last year's visit to Accrington I saw a world of difference in yesterday's performance. It wasn't pretty first half but I've seen us cave this season under that kind of pressure. They were a big outfit and we repelled all boarders at those long throws and free kicks. Second half there was only one team trying to play football but i thought it was going to be one of them days when Ben's header thumped the post in front of us. Credit to 'em though and the goal was after brilliant work from Lofty in different ways. Again, when Blackman,(how big is he?) got a touch on Chizzy's shot and it trickled against the post I thought we'd shot it but Loft, Loft will tear you apart again. Cue limbs around me and at 66 my bad knees and hip just about stood up to it! Thought Loft was excellent all game....not the most accomplished of centre forwards I've ever seen but looks like he may be settling in. I've seen where people said he nearly missed the goal...he didn't. It was right in front of me and he had to get it up and over the bodies throwing themselves at him. Good finish I thought. i thought he'd done everything right first half but seemed to just roll it the wrong side of the post. Oh well, onwards and upwards with that effort and never say die defending.......doctor, there's still a pulse. Off to get flight home but i'll be there in spirit on iFollow on Friday. SVA
  3. As me Grandma would have said....You need your bumps feeling! I'm over in the UK from Wednesday to Sunday and there was NO WAY I was going Burton. So what have I just done? Bought a sodding ticket .......mad as a box of frogs. I was over last season to watch the sh1teshow at Accrington...please don't let it happen again Vale. It will though won't it?
  4. One of my favourite games. I remember towards the end, a Crewe throw in and Bernie stood on the line in front of him, laughing at him. The Crewe lad didn't know what to do and was bricking himself...😂......we were leaning over the wall laughing at him!
  5. Was with you on Saturday at 5.00pm.....no way was I watching on Tuesday. I'm an exile and have a season pass on iFollow. Didn't say anything to the Missus but when she asked me yesterday, "is there a game, tomorrow?" I caved and said yes so I'm committed to watching it now.....well that's my excuse anyway. I just know what's coming so I suppose it musr be some form of addiction? Someone please help me........
  6. To be fair, MBE, I've had them since my first game in 1964! It's just that I've had em drained out of me this year, mainly from coming on here! (As well as watching what we've been served up, obviously!)
  7. Bloody Hell, Lads! What are you doing to me? I've watched every game and slowly slipped into the Trough of Despond, especially after last Saturday's abject surrender. Then, reading all the posts on here this week, I had waved the white flag and genuinely built myself up to, "Meh, not really bothered....we're down. Just watch each game as it comes and DON'T get so het up!" NOW, after reading this thread, I'm starting to get up for Saturday. I've sniffed some optimism in the air. i'm believing we can win and it will kick start a mini revival which will see us safe. I can't believe I've just written that If even the diehard Grumpies are sensing something, how can I resist? Come on Vale, let's be havin yer tomorrow! 2-0 Vale! (Followed by immediate disillusionment/disappointment at 5.00pm...)
  8. i remember him being an absolute pain in the harris every time he played against us!
  9. He'd be facing the wrong way....he was trying to clear it of course! I didn't mean a conventional header and NO WAY would he be heading it in their area....😂
  10. It will probably go one of two ways; We'll get threaped 5/6 none and give up after 30 mins when we're 3-0 down OR we'll have a magnificent defensive rearguard, throw everything back at them....Lofty comes on and in the 98th minute backheads one into his own goal and we lose 1-0! You know it'll happen!
  11. My thoughts entirely....we look poor man for man.
  12. it's frightening how bad we are actually are/were today. the thing that worries me the most is their speed of thought, I mean lack of. Nobody was anticipating anything. They must have picked up 90% of second balls. Taylor and Lloyd simply harried and chased and put us under pressure at the back because our basic skills are poor for this league. I bet Petty has got a rather large grin on in that changing room.....whose bright idea was it to let him go, I wonder? it's been said a squillion times but the defending is just.....no words to do it justice tbh. That third goal wasn't even schoolboy defending. Pigging deja bloody vu again. Nailed on for relegation I'm afraid, from a Happy Clapper!
  13. You'd think after supporting the buggers for so long I'd have learnt wouldn't you? Why, oh why do I get up this morning filled with enthusiasm and hope knowing that by 5.00pm I'll be swearing and kicking the cat, if I had one! The dog knows to keep out of the way on a Saturday afternoon. Like Valiiant says though as long as they give it 100% and cut out the U13's defending I'm okay. Come on Vale! We owe Clarkey one.
  14. Hey up.....the mood seems a bit lighter on here tonight. Summat happened? Don't tell me we've bought a striker and a LWB??? Well I'll beef hooked......... What a great appointment that is....Welcome Darren! Get to it now....
  15. I cannot watch that any more.......had to turn it off and it's not very often I have done that in 58 years of watching. Absolutely shocking defending.
  16. So has there been white smoke seen coming from Vale Park then....or is all this Kennedy talk just conjecture? Asking for a friend....
  17. Men v Boys........they made us look daft. Better movement, better touch, better vision. We look bereft of ideas and so, so low on confidence it is unbelievable. The last two performances have had relegation written all over them. I know nobody gets relegated in February but we look destined for it and I don't how anyone is going to change it round looking at the resources to hand.
  18. Fred Kano's....as me Owd Fellah would have said! You will have to be of a certain age for that one.
  19. Hurry up and sign someone please....my Missus is getting very suspicious with me keep looking at the laptop. She could cope with porn but continually looking at OVF ??? She thinks I'm mad.......I'm saying nowt!
  20. Well done Tony.......my flabber had never been so ghasted! I was so shaken that I couldn't compose a reply on the keyboard. A HC!!!!!!!! How dare Devine even utter those words concerning that post......I'm utterly incoherent with rage.
  21. Nice bit of balance there BJ! Don't want to spoil form do we? 🤣
