Pvfctv2 is the quite unwell Vale fan I’ve been on about.

Everything’s disastrous. Everyone’s rubbish. We’re completely screwed. 

Its not just him, there's a few of them. To them, football is all about winning so you can take the piss out of other people online. When it doesn't go your way they lash out. Its the immaturity of youth, and brutally, a lack of brains.

I gave up on friendlies quite some time ago. It's a glorified training match, players openly admit that they play half heartedly and it's just an exercise in getting match minutes into players.

I stopped going to them years ago, particularly after that preseason where I think we beat a pretty strong Man United team and a Sheffield Wednesday team and promptly got relegated.

I think last season we barely won a game in preseason but almost went on to win the division. You need jeopardy, particularly at Vale, to make any judgement.

Anyone freaking out about anything from this game needs a word with themselves.

Rotherham lost 4-1 against a pretty poor Accrington side from the league below today but you can bet your bottom dollar that they'll be a different proposition next weekend.

Have to say very disappointed to see Ojo wearing a Vale shirt this afternoon.

Football isn’t just about ability.

I would have banished him to the kids.

Don’t want people like representing the club and the area.

We've just lost 2-0 to a team that walked the league last season,I'm not to disappointed ,more minutes into the player's legs and you have to test yourselves against tougher opposition after all playing non league teams and winning by 3 or 4 goals gets you know where in the grand scheme of things

We won 3 friendlies last season which were against Newcastle Town, Kidsgrove and Luton's XI.

He's playing for a place at the club,I'm sure Darren Moore won't put up with the shenanigans he pulled when he last played for the first team,in my opinion he'll be warming the bench anyway,and as long as he gives 100% when he gets on I don't care what happened in the past

Rhys Walters redeemed himself. There’s little to gain by banishing him while he’s a paid player. If he can perform then we should support that. 
 

My opinion on this would change if he’s a terrible human being, but all he’s shown that I’m aware of is poor attitude in the past. If there’s a tune Darren can get out of him then that’s all that matters. He will be gone eventually and some playing time could be key to getting him moved on. 
 

To be fair to him, when I compared his performance today to what I’ve seen of Rakeem Harper, he deserves a second chance.

Bit OTT. You make it sound like he's a convicted killer or sex offender

He doesn’t deserve to the opportunity to be playing for a place at the club.

I’m sure you’re right and DM won’t put him with his BS but I will be appalled even if he is sat on the bench.

Completely different situation with Rhys. He was shopped around looking for a better deal. All footballers do that, maybe not that much at his age.

Ojo was a senior leader in the team, spat his dummy out when Croz was sacked, told fans to get educated,wanted to leave in Jan, didn’t get his move and shirked hard work and effort when we tamely got relegated. Didn’t want to redeem himself and fight to get the club out of L2,left to join Shrewsbury and took a dig at the standard of the Vale Park pitch.

He’s a fair weather <ovf censored>. 

Moore takes no prisoners so I’m sure he is more than able to man manage Ojo. 

Ojo isn’t high on my list either and I’d try to get him gone but as long as he’s a Port Vale player the club comes first and I’ll forgive the past if he can contributes in any way until he’s gone.

We’ve got some fans who can’t distract themselves in pre-season and overthink themselves into misery. This game doesn’t mean anything.

England are rampant in the cricket. The Lionesses will batter the Spaniards tomorrow. I’ve just had a lovely lunch.

This is effectively an open training session with players going through the motions to avoid a knock. It should be a pleasant and unremarkable afternoon for those who’ve attended, not a game to furrow your brows and pronounce doom.

If you make any serious conclusions from them, you need to find a hobby next summer. Best thing I’ve ever done. Up the Bazball. See you at Rotherham.

 

Talking a lot of sense today you.

I don’t rate Ojo as a footballer.

I find his record of relegations/falling out with manager disconcerting.

I would like to see him move on.

What evidence do we have that he’s this awful, awful man? That he quite like Andy Crosby and was disappointed he was sacked? I imagine a few players are guilty of that.

Has anyone even inferred he’s downed tools? Or that he’s refused to play?

For me he’s a very average, slightly lazy footballer who I’ll happily have as 6th choice if he wants to stick around. 

I really don’t get this ‘disgrace to the club and Burslem’ narrative. It’s getting out of hand. If he’s PVFC next week I’ll be clapping him on and off the pitch.

What’s the evidenced thing he’s supposedly done?

 

Here's the Birmingham manager's perspective on the game 

I remember the absolute rage some met the re-signing of Rhys Walters. It was crackers.

Snake, don’t let him back, disgrace, one lad wishing him injury. An 18 year old.

He was then absolutely magnificent, arguably our best player, in a superb run-in, looking determined and well above the level.

It’s very weird. Ojo might have made mistakes. I don’t rate him. I don’t have this hatred for him, especially if he’s on our books.
