Valiant Match Thread

what a game it had everything a fan would want. all the outfield players doing o.k. firsy half and it looked if vale had done a smash and grab on us. second half another story with a roy of the rovers comeback. on toph of it you knew the pantomime season was still with us with the referee giving us a number of comedy interludes. if anyone had come for their first game at the wham they will be back. best 90 odd mins of entertainment i,ve had for years. keep it up lads, lets make it our season.
 
Was Chappers careless or unlucky for their first goal? I thought a mixture of the two.

The ball hit that mud patch and skidded low on it rather than bouncing.

What if Chappers had anticipated that it would stay low and dived on the ground and the ball had then bounced?
 
Superb entertainment we dug in and ground a result against the odds have to disagree about the free kick that led to their 2 goal I was sat in line with it and about the same view as the referee Nolan was pulling their lads shirt of his back when he didn't need to, so correct decision as for Billy,s hand goal it's payback for Kettle,s horror show that cost us promotion so fate could just be with us this season.
 
was a foul leading up to their 2nd goal but no worse than a lot of other challenges for high balls he let go before he gave that one.
 
Cracking game played at a real high tempo.
Still felt we in the game at 2-0 down.
After a quiet first half Billy came alive and bullied their two CBS and was excellent.
Some great flowing football was played on a tricky surface, it maybe our year,as I haven’t
Seen a better team !!!
 
Wasn't there yesterday but sounds like fans created a decent atmosphere even when we went behind helping the team get the goals. If we can keep this atmosphere up all rest of season it may just push us over promotion line.

Yeah, fully agree with you Cashy...:mosher:
It's not the size it's the QUALITY that matters!:s_aim1:

ps. The video coverage is no help in trying to see what part of his anatomy Billy scored his goal with!
From right behind the goal in the Clayton End nobody around me even considered that he may have used his hand or arm!
It looked clearly as if he 'Chested' or 'Stomached' the ball over the line.

That's a great win, 2-0 down at the half to come back and pull it off shows character, hats off to all the players and the fans for a magic second half.
