Awful officiating, perfectly good goal disallowed, based on Saturday it was defo a red card for the Cardiff full back. Can we also all get behind Ojo, he has been immense in both games so far. 
 

 

 

Playing like they all did in midfield tonight and Garrity is going to have a job getting back into the team, love him as much as we all do.

But that's how it should be. We have a decent squad of players.

For us to be so disappointed to not to have to won that game, especially playing also against the officials shows that we will be fine this season. 

Scott brown and the Cardiff pundit couldn't bring themselves to say if was onside and a sending off. Unbelievable

Absolutely class tonight. Easily the better side over the 90 – should’ve been out of sight with the chances we had, but just couldn’t put them away. Deserved all three points, no doubt about it.

Mitch was top drawer, and Tolaj… what a shift. The bloke’s a unit, getting better every week at holding it up – had Chambers in his pocket all night. Fair play to Ojo too, he was everywhere. If he keeps that level up, he’s going to be a massive player for us.

Every single one of them put in a shift. Gutted we didn’t take the win, but performances like that and we’ll be absolutely fine. Only going to get better.

Fair play Vale. 

Excellent  performance by Vale against one of the fancied teams in the division, now played 4 halves of football in this Lge and won 3 of them but only a point to show for it. If we can play like that throughout the season than we have nothing to fear and will be OK.

Mitch Clark's "Goal" was a goal, replays showed he's level, same with Byers header which hit the bar, Byers was onside. 

MoM Mitch Clark, all the players played well, Ojo very good and I was impressed by Liam Gordon, looks quick and with time and confidence he'll get forward more.

Their player who ploughed into Tolaj got away with one, lucky not to be sent off.

From his interview, DM sounds like from now on he will pick 3 central midfield players in a 5 across midfield to start a game.

This guy has great eyes. 

Joe Dobson should try zooming in on Law 11 of the FA Rules before opining -

Quote

Law 11 Offside

A player is in an offside position if:

• any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and
• any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent

The hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered. For the purposes of determining offside, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit.

So Mitch's arm is irrelevant and Mitch's body is clearly onside.

A good goal chalked off by incompetent officials.



 

Finished work late so only just finished watching the 2nd half. Best 0-0 I have probably ever seen.

We should have won with my only concern being some utterly woeful finishing, with Byers having some really feeble attempts. If you can’t score dominating like that and playing so well, you never will find it easier playing worse. 
 

We created so many chances though and completely out played Cardiff.

He keeps getting introduced as a Vale legend which is a bit of an exaggeration. Awful manager but was a good player for us.

Tolaj looked like a <ovf censored> beast tonight 

Proper enjoyed that 

We look a real good side until final 3rd but hopefully that will come 

Tough decision to go or not tonight my lady on nights but decided me and little girl would go and what a great decision it was 

Great entertainment unlucky vale 

 

Looks as though OJO has fallen in love with DM and has got over the bitter break up over Crosby leaving !

Superb tonight.

Well that was a performance deserving of so so  much more.

Really enjoyed it .

Played with purpose ,heart ,and lots of skill ,and endeavour .

Just got in very happy with what ive seen all what was missing was at least 3 deserved goals

Thst level of performance will see that goals will come

Well played all the Vale lads

For me G Byers was immense, in fact too play as well as we did well the fact Marosi had nowt do says it all ,the 10 outfield players so committed ,the support when aggressively attacking, very behind the team.

Clarks goal onside he was magnificent too come on get VAR in league 1 .

Keep those levels high Vale theres not one player who gets a lower mark than 7  

We will be just fine

Just got in from the game, very enjoyable 0-0 draw. Thought we were the better team and had the best chances. If the lads put a shift in like that then no complaints. Great performances from Mitch and Ojo but everyone put in at least 7/10 and that's the standard we need in this division.Well done the Vale.
