Quiet on here tonight...

Anyway, won't be long to wait, I'm sure the 'usual suspects' will be back with a vengeance if we lose Tuesday to remind us that 'we've got 3 keepers' and they knew we were doomed around Xmas when we lost all our strikers, captain & best player to injury.

You pour scorn on other posters comments, but do you ever contribute anything remotely constructive?? 

You and a couple of others seem to have created a new subset of contributors who moan about the moaners! Incredible.

Loving John Yems post match press conference! Moaning his bag off about injuries and how their player could have died and they didn't even get a penalty!

I heard it, the guy is puddled. Well I say that, if you spout on for as long as he did I suppose it’s a sure fire way of avoiding the more ‘testing questions’ about his own/ his teams shortcomings.

Can we play Crawley every week ?

they have certainly helped our goal difference this season

OK, I have delved deep and I have found something Crawley's manager can take from the game. They passed the ball 398 times as against our 376.

I couldn’t tell if the crackling was the amp or the mic being left open.

Anyone else notice that the liner Lorne Street end gave us virtually everything, including some really obvious incorrect ones in our favour. Made a pleasant change from the usual dipsticks with the flag.

Personally I hate the new temporary speakers. It’s about 10 yards away from our seats and we can’t have a chat pre match or halftime because it’s so loud. 

Happy it’s the only think I can moan about today.

Yes, the equaliser undoubtedly lifted us. I felt we’d started so slowly, pedestrian almost, but after their goal, whilst we looked a bit shocked, maybe at the manner in which we conceded, we upped the tempo to match that of the opposition, albeit we still looked disjointed until our goal.

On a slightly different note, well done to the singers in the Bycars today, seemed to be far more than usual.  There also seemed to be more fans sat over towards the old Family Stand side of the Bycars.  No idea if this really was the case or just how it looked as I walked along the concourse to the gents powder room.

Darrell Clarkes black and white army repeatedly...loved it. More of the same on Tuesday! And the same result!

Im with you here Biddulph, but are you in danger of creating another sub-section of moaning about the moaners who moan about other moaners😂👍 

Re Yems - his pre and post match interviews are absolute classics - makes Victor Meldrew look positively chipper.

Surely “It’s a forum” as an defence really falls down when you use it to stop people having an opinion on your opinions?!?!

Surely it’s quite simple:

You absolutely should have your own opinion.

You are free to post it on here whenever you want.

Given that “It’s a forum”… it’s the court of popular opinion. Everyone’s views are their to be pulled apart, interrogated and challenged.

So if you sound like Carl from Praise and Grumble in 99% of your posts, people should absolutely be free to point that out.

If we were in a pub after the game and you were expressing the negative side of EVERY topic of discussion, people would tell you to cheer up and stop being a moaning arse… not quite sure why people believe this method of discussing the vale gives them immunity from people disagreeing with them!

If he spent a little less time repeatedly using the phrase "harem scarem" and 5 seconds googling the rules of the game, he might not come across as such a plank.

What the muppet doesn't realise is that some Vale fans have been blind from birth and rely on a concise commentary, pity the DDA act can't be realised for the juvenile rubbish he
Spouts all the time we lose the thread, he's always way behind the action and play, then puts his and whoever is also waffling too, their opinion, George Andrews I recall was the best ever, so radio S, either get this boy some training or replace him, the commentary is dire, switching to the opposition commentary sometimes is better, but no always as this is the BBC , ......I'll get of me box

Brilliant post. I agree entirely. And when people’s views are pulled apart, interrogated and challenged in a sensible and considered way, this forum will be much the better for it.
