Match Thread: Port Vale v Bolton Wanderers

[gags 64]

Anyone else think the tannoy was very muffled yesterday? Struggled to hear most of what was being said in the paddock. May have been the guy on the mike, sounded like he was speaking through a mask

Wozza seems to be struggling which may be ongoing. The additional subs may mean they are rotated within a game.

Oh yeah agree. The only thing is when both fully fit they would both like to be nailed on starters. We also have Robinson who looks handy in that position. Good options all round and tough decision for Darrell.

From where i was in the Bycars it seemed if Bolton number 5 cleared the ball off our line started to appeal for the goal then gave up and got on with the game.

Basically because the same ref sent him off last year. Nothing to do with how the player conducts himself on the pitch you understand…. 

Same ref sent him off versus Morecambe last season. Now he’s suspended for Bolton’s next game against Morecambe.

Bolton fans think the EFL and PGMOL have a pro-Morecambe agenda.

I can't understand how they can complain about the sending off.  He could have been booked about 4 times!!  The ref gave him every chance.  Ref also lenient with the no 4,  he should have gone. As always Bolton were very physical,  to say the least.  Fans playing the racist card, just pathetic. 

I couldn't tell if the ball was completely over the line, although I was worried.  Do refs have the watch at our level? Guessing not.

Maybe their manager should have taken him off to avoid the inevitable, instead of moaning at the officials? Just a thought 

 

 

The first yellow should have been a straight red for violent conduct.

The highlights have just reached southern France, and some of it was hard to pick out in the bright sunshine.  But the Santos 2nd booking was pretty obvious to me.  Harrison turned him and Santos held him, albeit briefly, but enough.  A clear booking IMO. 

Interesting how often Smith gets caught up in controversial incidents, isn't it😉? 

A great shame Hall didn't just welly his chance, I thought.

That’s exactly what I thought, that their man was the one who actually cleared it off the line.

Can’t believe for one min there was only 3076 Bolton fans in the hamil has bill bell come back from the other side to doctor the attendance figures 

Given that the Hamil holds 4,600 I fail to see how another 1,600 could have fitted in there.

Yep. But he did the same thing seconds after, and I think I’m right in saying the ref actually blew for the foul as well. So why no second yellow?

I’ve played it back a few times BPV..In normal speed it’s hard to tell but in slow motion it looks like Smithy sidefoots it away.( iFollow Ext highlights) Definitely nowhere near over the line.

Ref was crap. He's a crap ref. Joker.

Disgrace that he didn't send Santos off until 5 minutes or so before half time as well.
