good work Dan

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

About time your biggest game of the season and you only start a thread in the late afternoon of the day before.

More interested in Comic Relief eh?















Hello BTW

Looking forward to the game tomorrow. Not so much watching the Vale but making the trip having a few beers and moaning about the board. Think you'll beat us to beat honest the football under Gannon has been dull, boring, unadventurous and very defensive. Hope that it doesn't ruin the game for you too.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Thanks for the info Dan,
personally, coming to Accy about 1200 ish, going to Fire Station on Hyndburn Road for charity car wash (Fire Service benevolent fund) then up to the ground for pie and a pint and to peruse the new kit hopefully. See yas all there today.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

It's a sunny old afternoon at the Crown... Pitch is looking okay again and I await team news.

Dan

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

The teams have just headed back to the changing rooms - nearly time to get going...

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Have you checked the pies are in the warmer ? :D

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Afternoon all ! :) Right then, lets have a good un' today with a good result & lots of goals. :D

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

We're off!

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Dave in Germany, I'd settle for a rubbish 1-0 win!!!!

And t'other Dave, I live in hope of pie goodness later...

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

See Cheltenham are already 2 up against Bury :confused:

EDIT THAT Bury just got one back.

Or maybe not ?????

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

I suppose we all would in honesty, but hey, no harm in living in hope is there ? :D

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

good news if we still got one eye on runners-up? :D

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Proccy and Joyce both booked - could make that midfield battle very interesting

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

As a well known commercial venture says "Every little helps !" :D

Confirmed, Bury 1 Chelt 2 they aren't half slow on that Sky score centre, totally out of sync the reporting & actual updates. :(

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Couple of half chances for Stanley early on, but no saves for either keeper so far

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

23: Craney with good play on the edge of the D, shoots but the keeper collects

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

does anyone know if the 'players' on everyone elses website are linked to each other? Reason I ask is because last week I made use of the free 14 day trial that Gillingham had and somebody on the Vale thread has mentioned it for their site. IF this is the case then it might be worth the while of non-travelling fans to subscribe to one next season for coverage?

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Crewe, Gillingham, and Torquay all losing at the moment :)

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Don't think they're linked as such Macca, just that one firm supplies the tech for the clubs to use but the actual commentary is relevant to the Club (their games broadcast) you sign up with.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

and now Torquay getting further behind and Stevenage losing, can't really get much better if The Reds could get in front!

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

cheers Dave

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

The ref and his assistant aren't too popular at the minute. Lots of soft free kicks...

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Blackburn getting spanked at the moment. What odds us playing host to PNE next year and being only 1 division below Rovers and Burnley? ;)

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

43- 1-0 McConville!!!

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

macca they are all linked and for my sins i have one and can listen to stanley every week and also get extended highlights within 24 hours i personally think it's good value for 30 odd quid

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Get in Stanley........1 - 0

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Gerrinthere Stanley ! :D

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Gornell stayed onside down the Stanley right and laid the ball into Craney. He picked out McConville on the edge of the area, and he found the bottom left.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Get In. To the tune of the evergreen "My Generation" by the Who :)

People try to put him down - Talking bout my Sean McConville
Just becasue he gets around - Talking bout my Sean McConville
People used to give him stick - Talking bout my Sean McConville
Then he bagged a hat-er-ick - Talking bout my Sean McConville

MY SEAN McCONVILLE!!

Come on lads :)

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Is that double figures now for Sean, worth clarifying for when Redraine catches up on this thread :D

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Ht 1-0

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

As it stands 3 points off the Play Offs with a game in hand. If I was getting giddy I would say 8 points off automatic with 2 games in hand :)

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

But you're not getting giddy and therefore you're NOT thinking auto promo are you?.................................The answer is no!!

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

cheers Nige, presumably one login allows you onto the opposition player of whoever we are playing? sounds a deal to me for next season!

welcome back Alvin! cracking song and sounds like it could have legs for me

i'm getting giddy! always have been to be honest. How often does a fan get to become optimistic and start dreaming of things like promotion and play-offs? For my liking when you get chance take it! jinx my arse :rolleyes:

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Sean has ten now.

We're off again. Double half time change for Vale

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

You can have ours now, at exactly the same time Sean scored ours went down the drain :D

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

50 - Craney denied by goalkeeper parry

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Morning/evening all...great score to wake up to !! GO THE STANLEY

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

"Good afternoon ladies and gentleman. We'd like to wish a warm welcome to the players, staff and supporters of Accrington Stanley Football Club and hope they enjoy their visit to Deepdale/St Mary's this afternoon"...

Tell me it doesnt have a ring to it!!! :)

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Forgot to add Hillsborough :)

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Macca...are you at work?

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

nah John (work, whats that?)

haven't been too well this week and going out tonight. Finances and liver/pancreas couldnt support the game and a night out!

chuffing wish they'd arranged the night out tomorrow or last night, this is hard work!

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

It's going to be one of THOSE nervy 1-0s...

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Bury have just equalised and runners up spot goes a point further away!

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Oxford 2-0 Crewe. :)

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Women..they just don't get it...:confused:

Re: Port Vale Thread

Re: Port Vale Thread

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Good crowd in today Dan or what?

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Didn't realise that was the case. Sorry Macca for putting out false info, Nige thanks for the correction. :)

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

crowd 2413 according to Vale forum

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Don't know if you realised Macca, but in this division 3rd place is automatic too :)

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Out of the clubs battling to go down, I hope really Stockport fall thru the door. Don't like them...

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Should help the cash flow.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

80 - Vale down to ten men - Rigg sent off for catching Edwards with his arm

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

2413 confirmed

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Thanks Macca and Dan.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Hopefully this'll give the lads an extra boost & a couple o'more goals !

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Don't know about that, on a game I play called Trophy Manager, if the oppo has a bloke marched it all but seems to gaureentee a victory for the depleted side..:confused:

Re: Port Vale Thread

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Isn't life wonderful. Brilliant, just brilliant.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Belting result, sitting at 11th. Looking good, looking good !

Thanks Dan. :)

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Weren't Vale top of the pile when we played them in the cup? Abit of a fall from grace.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

but we want a trophy innit?

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

VAle forum carying stories of it all kicking off big time - inside and outside the ground with their fans protesting at the manager. Apparently the 9'2" midfielder Geoggysummat Exodusummat was squaring up with their fans as well ....

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Greedy git. Wasn't seeing Stanley get their hands on the coveted Anglo-Barbados trophy enough for you! ;)

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Aye - he started on proccy as well when proccy tried to take him towards the changing rooms. Vale fans were so angry at half time and I really didnt see why it is a level game, we were lucky to go in 1-0 up.

Cracking result. Lets win those games in hand.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Well Done lads, am coming up for Hereford & Northampton games - can't wait -come on you super reds !!!

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Well I slated them last time we played Vale but not today. The whole team deserves credit today for an excellent performance and result. Well done you reds :)

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

listening to radio stoke and apparently jim gannon didn't travel on the coach to the game and isn't on the way back, that exodus fella is prob on way back to peterboro after altercation with fans and it seems they all hate eachother. Happy days think they may capitulate and not be a threat in our juggernaut charge to the play offs

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Brill performance from the men in red today Jacobson,Joyce and Craney were superb, after Tuesday I thought Burton were crap but after today I don,t think that was the case I now think it,s the red men playing good stuff that makes the opposition look crap.

on stanley on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

What a crazy old day...

Match report - ASFC News Story > 3938

Coley reaction - ASFC News Story > 3939

Apologies for any errors in there. Will amend accordingly later!

It did kick off at the end. The Vale fans protesting at the board, players and manager.

Made the usual Stanley drama look tame!

Home time now
Dan

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Well I must admit im beginning to run out of superlatives for Coley & The Lads.

I thought it was our best performance of the season, yes Port Vale are a club with many off the field issues, but make no mistake they can be a very good side on their day, as we found out twice this season already.

In particular Joyce and Hessey where superb.

Roll on Tuesday at Gresty Road!!!

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

What a game, I honestly thought at half time, the referee was going to award the win to Port Vale, he was that crap. Every soft tackle the reds made, he blew for a foul, yet PV doing the same was not???? About the only decision he got right was the red card for Rigg for leading with his forearm straight into Sundbed's head. To be honest, both sets of fans were singing the same song summat about not knowing what he was doing!!!! Nice to see nearly 2,500 on today and even the scoreline was excellent and to be fair, although PV played an attacking game, we managed to get through for the 2nd and 3rd goals after they went down to 10. I have never seen anything like it when the PV fans kicked off against their own manager. Jim Gannon aint their favourite person at the moment. Saw him being escorted out of the stadium by our security guys.
Hoping for a similar result at Crewe and Aldershot in the next week.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Thought Craney had an excellent game today...arguably his best since returning. Instead of just his one moment of brilliance, he gave us that AND really got amongst the action for the rest of the game, too. Onwards to triumph! :Banane09:

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Just a minor point but we have now surpassed 50 points. Well done reds

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Any impression if Vale brought a large following, or have the good folks of Accy woken up to the fact we might just have a bit of a team this season ? Either way, extra turnstile cash is welcome.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Excellent win and a great performance, especially Craney who dominated the midfield and oozed class today, he should have been man of the match IMO. I am glad we aren't Port Vale fans, what a bunch of fickle morons they are, fair enough their team aren't doing well at the minute but the fans behaviour leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

I hope with a good few games to come that we start to utilise our squad to help rest some of our players, we have a very good squad so lets use it.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

I must admit to carry on like they did was abit OTT but it does show they have passion.


Yes we have a squad, but why change a winning team ?? I wouldent

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Well done Stanley.

I have also for the last 35 years also supported what is currently a League One side with many times your average gate and wage bill.

I think the reason you wont play them next season is not that they wont get relegated but the fact that you might well overhaul them. You already have in terms of your performances on the field.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Nothing wrong with supporter pressure as long as it doesn't get out of hand. Let those who are screwing things know that you are watching and you want it changed. As another member on here pointed out, it's ironic that the first protest at the Crown ground to get rid of those screwing the club up was from one of the away teams.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

It's a shame Stanley couldn't get their games in hand out of the way ( and win them of course ). I think when they actually get in to the play off places more people will take notice and go along to see what the fuss is :)

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Have had guests, otherwise I would have posted earlier. I don't wish to seem ungracious, but since you mention it Sean really should have had a hat-trick today. I still think we would be well into the play-off positions or even better by now if other squad members had been given the number of opportunities he has had. Another steam-rollering performance by the red men to keep us heading in the right direction.:D

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

I did wonder where he was off to with his M-O-M bottle of wine :rofl38:

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

A good all round performance, three points, three goals and another clean sheet

What I really enjoyed today it was at times a dig deep performance which was workmanlike from back to front.

At times some players go missing which you would expect but this was different a team we normally struggle against we more than matched and there was a gritty resolve to be first to everything.

That can be the difference between outside the mix or being well and truly in it!

Well done to Coley & the Team keep going:)
