Not really relevant to this thread, I know games have to be agreed by both teams but out of interest why have we arranged the Orient, Reading and Fleetwood games all for February and none in January, March or April, to have 4 consecutive Tuesday night matches seems strange.

Ask the EFL about Reading.

I applaud the club for not releasing the name of the individual in question. However I think we all know they’re referring to Ryan Loft.

Did they announce a motm and attendance, if they did I must have missed it.

Just over 8000. Didn't see a MOTM. Chislett for me. Sherrock 2nd. Which speaks volumes for the rest.

I'll tell you what I don't like us doing. 

The anti football Stevenage antics. 

Maybe around the 20 minute mark Dipepa clearly gave Ripley instructions to go down for treatment ( cheat ). 

I saw it with my own eyes as I was 30 foot away at The Hamil. 

Ripley then gets treatment for a non injury and all our players go to Crosby. 

Just down right cheating and if that was Stevenage I'd be screaming blue murder.

Not sure if its been mentioned - but what about Crosby doing his team talk on the pitch at the end of the game? That's when you know you're scraping the bottom of the barrel to motivate your team. Phil Brown wannabe

Walks, perhaps the roof in the changing room has collapsed a bit like the RP toilets. Date of completion not known.

I was NOT at VP today as I am a REFEREE and YES we do mistakes. I NEVER intentionally make mistakes but it happens. Fortunately for me I only REFEREE in grassroots football and on the whole I LOVE REFEREEING. Had two  matches today and another Sunday morning, easy money for me. I was attacked six years ago in a STAFFORDSHIRE FA SUNDAY CUP MATCH and that was because a player believed that he had been fouled. I refused to give him a free kick, so he thought it was OK to punch me. He got fined £100 + 12 month ban from playing football.

 My belief is that any player or " SO CALLED FAN", who either assaults or attempts to assault " THE REFEREE", should get a LIFETIME BAN. Fortunately the idiot who attempted to assault the REFEREE at VP did not have a knife. The consequences and aftermath of a situation like that don't bear thinking about.

 Most fans have opinions of REFEREE'S and all REFEREE'S  should be impartial. OK maybe it wasn't a penalty I don't know as I wasn't at VP. But no fan has the right to go onto the field of play and threaten an official. Whether you agree with or her decision or not. The so called fan will now receive a lifetime ban from VP and possibly all UK football grounds. They should also appear in court next week and receive an immediate prison sentence. 

 PORT VALE like any other club can't stop a random idiot entering the field of play and YES VALE could receive a fine. But tougher sanctions should NOT happen at this point. When although totally different situation READING fans got their home match with VALE abandoned. As everyone with common sense knows that was related to the shambolic way the so called owner has treated all associated with READING FC. But with so much knife crime now in society, it can't be that far away that an official or even a player is stabbed by a moron.

 Really disappointed to hear that VALE were not at the races today. Possibly ANDY CROSBY should go, but unless you are SHREWSBURY who last weekend sacked Matt Taylor and have now been reunited with Paul Hurst who nearly took them to The Championship. First game back today SHREWSBURY win 2-0 at Northampton, Old manager new ideas. Perhaps VALE can get Micky Adams back. Otherwise if Crosby goes. Who comes in? Gareth Ainsworth?

Without reading all the comments, my own take on the game was that we looked like a team that hadn’t played for weeks, no sharpness.  Playing the two young lads together in midfield was asking too much v the league leaders.  They both need the minutes but a more prudent approach would’ve been to play Sang alongside one or the other then swap the kids over at half time.  The loss of Ojo, Garrity, Arblaster and Devine has left a huge void in midfield so we we’re always up against it, with no real strikers plus not what most would choose as our best backline.  Anyway, we battled hard and hung in until a refereeing decision swung the game.  Pompey, for all their possession, didn’t look like they wanted to score.

Such is my frustration, and although  I’m probably in the minority, I’m still applauding the guy who ran onto the pitch, but he should’ve sat in the centre circle and refused to move rather than chasing the ref.  No real harm done, the ref will easily get the brown stains out on a boil wash, although we will get panned by the authorities.

Then as a ref you know how much of a shocker that decision was?.  "I NEVER intentionally make mistakes but it happens." I agree there are mistakes and there are refs who make it about them. He was the latter. He wanted to be more important than the game so he did something about it. If I did my job that badly I'd be on the dole Monday morning

Also doesn’t work as we were equally as crap afterwards

i agree with most of your points but a prison sentence for running on the pitch? Yes it could of got nasty or he could of simply got in the refs face & give him an ear full 🤷🏼‍♂️ the only offence he committed was entering the field of play. I'd be shocked if he received a life time ban, more likely to be a 3 year ban i reckon 🤔

Taking the independent logical perspective it would indicate you hope your players are fitter, squad strength is deeper or there was something that limited choice beyond control. But I'm struggling for a positive reason - it doesn't look favourable. In fact in all my 46 plus years of watching PV we have rarely handled Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday well.
