Anyone else care to agree with me that once again the ref was abysmal? He missed so many things and if Smith's yellow card is not rescinded by the FA then my name is Donald Duck! That was a TOTAL accident. Hope their lad is ok but to give a foul and book Smith was criminal.  Cracking 3 points Vale, good crowd and we have so much more to offer.

That incident was a farce. The one outcome that was not possible was a yellow card. The referee could interpret it in two ways: either Smith did it on purpose in which case he's essentially headbutted an opponent in the face and should be sent off, or it was accidental (which it obviously was) in which case its not even a foul. The ref still needs to stop the game because irs a head injury but its not a foul.

Couldn't agree more, that ref was a joke

Genuinely impressed that we had no issues doing a number on fleetwood with many first choice starters and new signings not bedded in yet

It’s also farce when that cheating bastard Joe Garner blocks a free kick with his forehead and stays down with a “head injury” only to jump back up and sprint up to the halfway line as soon as the ref stopped in the penalty area. 

I think he would be at the top of DC’s d1ckhead scale!

<ovf censored> get in. Made my Saturday 😄 More signings to come. Crowd of over 8k. We are on the <ovf censored> up. UTV. 

The crowd was incredibly reassuring. Had that been one of the bigger clubs it would easily have been over 10k

Their captain(Vela) committed several fouls including a blatant trip on Holden,and didn't get booked.

The ref was terrible. The drop ball was his most embarrassing moment

That's why I don't read his posts unless they show up on someone else's feed. Talks absolute tripe

Great results today, Vale win, Stoke defeat, Swindon getting stuffed. 
Not great but notice Harratt was sent off today for Bradford.

Just a note of caution regarding supporters on the pitch, which we are charged with by the F.A.
At the end of the game a small lad ran onto the pitch from the Bycars, all friendly and mingled with the players and obviously there was no danger. However, if a small lad can get past the stewards then who else will try in the next game and raises a couple of points
1. What are stewards at the gaps in the fence there for , if it isn’t to stop this type of situation ?
2. Why did his parent/guardian think it was okay for him to run onto the pitch considering the amount of publicity there as been.
People may think I’m being ridiculous, but the F.A. Will look at it different and the club could suffer. Again !

Apparently Harratt was sent off after the final whistle.

Well done Vale today 

 

[TreacleValiant]

Good result against a physical and well organised Fleetwood side. Smith and Worall were outstanding. 

[ollyandpatch]

Hall was outstanding today. Also Smith Charsley and Worrall were on their A game.

[philmpv]

Was surprised to see FGR beat Bristol today. Also noticed that JT started on the bench today at home for Morecambe
