Does anyone have any stats on the fact that port vale have probably never been above stoke for longer than us above rovers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I once got booked for time wasting. Only problem being we were one down at the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed at him and got booked for being ungentlemanly or some bollocks. That was me you b****rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke and Port Vale were last in the same division the same season that ourselves and Rovers were also in the same division (2000/01 L1...or L2 as it was then). However the season before Port Vale were actually a division above Stoke. Rovers haven’t managed that for 36 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was only through our failure and not their brilliance. I wonder when was the last time, if ever, they have been promoted above us? (I.E. we were in the same division and they went up and we didn't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know, but back in those days swearing was frowned upon. Throughout the rest of the game every time I heard a player swear I reminded the ref that he had booked me for it and was he going to take action against it. Obviously his little black book would have filled up quickly. So walking off after the game he sidled up to me and said he didn't think he would be reporting the booking. That's happened to me as well...twice...in midfield trying to pass to our useless forward, who seemed to playing his own game of hiding behind the defender, making no run or space...nothing...just stood still every time...lost my rag with him many a time :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
