Match Thread: Port Vale v Tranmere Rovers

[Doha]

Golden boy Crookes lets his man go and ends up wrong side. Sproson blames Mitch Clark. Unreal.

With this inexperienced Ref, need to take Pope off before he is sent off.  

Looks like their players have got to the Ref and he's panicked and trying to level it.

Rodney just coming on for Pope.

Seen this before from lower league refs. It’s like he’s realised he got the penalty wrong and needs to even it up

Joyce should never pull on a Vale shirt again if he end up losing this. Absolutely brainless regardless of whether it actually deserved a straight red.

Dont talk crap!!!!

Good sub at the right time

It was a red. Shin high tackles going to ground are always a red in today's game.

However, Pope was absolutely tripped in the build up so the goal shouldn't have stood.

The ref is having a stinker (for both teams).

This will finish 2-2 now.

Don't be ridiculous.

It was a bad decision, but never pulling on the shirt again is probably a bit strong.

Go toss him off and tell him well done for throwing away points for a gutless challenge.

He's been bang average at best this season and so at least somebody else will get a chance in the middle of the park.

Sproson is right about Clark IMO, yet again today he’s been caught on the ball and Tranmere are in behind him and it’s cost us a goal. I imagine Vaughan as a centre forward is Smiths man, and yes he has got inbetween Smith and Crookes easily, but hes a good striker at this level and those 2 left sided defenders will need to look back at that goal to see what they could do better in terms of positioning and communication. But I think it comes from Clark’s mistake initially in trying too much. They’ve got behind him more than once today through his positioning or giving the ball away.

If they equalise anytime soon there's only going to be one winner. We'll do extremely well to get a 2-2 out of this.

It was handball lucky

[TJHValiant]

Ref seems barking mad. 

[PVFC764]

Thanks referee - for disallowing the goal.  Are you trying to level it back up the other way now.  

Don't think the ref will put much time on at the end of this half now.  😜

Not my favourite player but sick of idiots like you criticising the team in these difficult times.For christs sake judge them after 46 games.
