Tues 18th/Sat 22nd fixtures

[Soz]

Fucks sake give it a rest with this woe is me shit about refs. We all get the same shite each week - we just don’t all moan about it.

haha fuck off.

 

[kieran_vale]

Shows what you’re up against when they can bring on Hirst. We need to find some way of getting further up the pitch, only so long you can hold out otherwise.

 

[Soz]

Think proctor would have been my sub over Ellis there but at least we've got a presence in the air now.

Nah I’m with Ellis, his ability to win first contacts on defensive headers is probably much more needed at this point.

 

[TractorBoys]

Here comes Edwards - expect to spend the next 15 minutes camped on the edge of their penalty area.

 

[geg1992]

Ffs matches like this really show why we need to get out of this league. Time wasting beyond belief and the ref doing nothing to stop it.

 

[kieran_vale]

Here comes Edwards - expect to spend the next 15 minutes camped on the edge of their penalty area.

It’s how we’ve spent most of the half to be fair. Remember him being excellent when you came to VP earlier this season.

 

[valefan16]

Gutting the only way they were going to break us a bit of luck like that.

 

[TractorBoys]

Get in! Instant impact from Edwards down the left, stonewall penalty. Felt nervous for the lad... considering the state of the pitch! Goal was coming without the penalty for sure.

GET THE FUCK IN!!!

 

[kieran_vale]

Always felt a tough ask to keep defending. Just don’t let the heads drop and concede a couple more.

 

[Soz]

commentary team are pretty insufferable.

 

[TractorBoys]

Amazing how quickly Port Vale are actually capable of taking goal kicks and throws when required.

Keeper is lucky to still be on the pitch.

 

[kieran_vale]

Come on Vale nearly made it through a game without a red card!!

Fine margins in football. The handball was the exact same incident with Benning that he did in the playoff semi last season. He didn’t get caught then but did this time.

 

[Tea Towel]

Fuck off Shrewsbury

 

[Andy Proctor]

Every keeper wastes time at vale but never get booked but vale get penalised for it everytime. Same with refs every team gets homer refs apart from us we get no luck with anything. Ref couldn't wait give that penalty. I'm going be right we will lose every game, get relegated and it will be due to corrupt officials.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Well at 2 nil it looked bleak, we finished incredibly and really proud considering the team we had out tonight.

 

[stevowanderer]

Not a bad draw to be honest and Burton played fairly well in patches but I have no idea how we didn’t score in that second half. We missed 2 chances from 2 yards out… 1 of which was an open goal. Hopefully it’s a point earned rather than 2 dropped. 5-7th is getting tight now

Penalty was an absolute stonewall - arm in a totally unnatural decision. Made it easy for the ref - he had to give it.

 

[Soz]

Must be the first time Ipswich have seen any time wasting. Obviously had their eyes closed for their "game management" at vale park

[geg1992]

Thank fuck for that. Football won in the end. Well deserved.

 

[kieran_vale]

Ah well congrats on the win Ipswich. Can’t say they didn’t deserve that overall.

At least saw a bit of mongrel from Vale tonight and some solid defensive work.

 

[Floreat Salopia]

Fuck knows how Plymouth made such hard work of it but well done on the 3 points, hope you lads go up!

 

[TractorBoys]

Job done! Gritty performance and credit to us for keeping at it. Very happy.

100 points, anyone? Tricky fixtures to come but it's in our hand and promotion is ours to lose.

 

[Andy Proctor]

They tried there best tonight but there not good enough. Basically every game they give away a penalty or red card that costs us.

Literally couldn't be any clearer!

Just count your blessings you finished the game with 11 men buddy. Your keeper is embarrassing. Not just his time wasting but his distribution is terrible.

All focus switches to Peterborough now. A good game in prospect.

 

[leedsvaliant]

It was definitely a backs to the wall performance, but we had to in fairness. In spite of all their possession, Ipswich only had 2 shots on target, one of which was a penalty. Ref was always going to give something, one of those 'all about me' refs but the penalty was right at least.

We wouldn't get that at vale park we get nothing and get cheated everytime. You get loads of penalties because your a big club we get sod all cos were the smallest club in the league.

 

[Tea Towel]

Massive win for us tonight yet I still feel deflated. That goal has just sent Plymouth up for sure, IMO. Can’t see where they slip up now with their remaining fixtures.

Over to you, Posh and Barnsley…

 

[valefan16]

Absolutely gutting one to take that, fought like trojans, defended well and Stone hasn’t had a save to make. Only way they were going to win it was with something like that. Harsh on Benning from so close in but that’s the rules these days.

Proud of the effort, the fact they were celebrating like they were at the end against a decimated side shows the superb effort we put in.

Chuffed we actually finally had the penny drop and learnt to game manage a bit, everyone else does it but the booking for Stone was ridiculous! The lino asks him to move the ball and he gets booked for time wasting!

Tough one to take if you’d told me Ipswich would only muster two on target tonight one being a penalty I’d have put you in an mental asylum but loads of positives, just felt like we dropped points again with one silly error which was completely avoidable.
