Headley is a good player.

G. Hall looked quick on Bolton highlights.

That Sherif up top is the donkey Rotherham played against us in the home game.

Bowling alley car park is pretty quiet and plenty of spaces left on the new estate, reckon it’s going to be a low gate.

Been stupendously pissing it down here... Dry now, but almost scary 3 hours ago. On a corrugated iron roof it's absolutely deafening.

All I can get Les, is BBC text updates. Not informative in the slightest...

We've been on top. Doing well, Port Vale struggling with conditions
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Port Vale
Post by: SydneyRover on March 24, 2026, 08:04:42 pm
A couple of chances, the wind making control a problem, they had a chance tipped over the bar. Another chance for us. Conditions make for hoofing up and down the field. We are on top atm.

Good start from the Rovers. We look up for it so far in difficult conditions
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Port Vale
Post by: dknward2 on March 24, 2026, 08:17:32 pm
We need to keep it up and get the goal difference sorted now

Post by: BobG on March 24, 2026, 08:20:02 pm
I was rather hoping the ref would misread his watch and blow full time...

The weather is dire there. Making for little but significant mistakes. We look a class above, some good play, but also some bad mistakes. They've had chances, don't look so sharp, heads hanging already, but... We need a few more for comfort.

Half time need to get some goals in the 2nd otherwise think this could come back to bite us
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Port Vale
Post by: Scooter on March 24, 2026, 08:35:04 pm
Very stress free so far. Let’s hope for the same in the second half
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Port Vale
Post by: monkeytennis on March 24, 2026, 08:38:42 pm
Awful playing conditions tonight I’d hate to be out there. Rovers doing well I think - they look fragile under pressure and we’re giving them a bit of that. We haven’t been perfect but defo the better team.

Take an o.g. anytime.Happy the opposition is so accommodating.

Had most of the play with good performence all round ,senior has created some good chances.weather causing problems.we need another goal with the conditions.

Vale looking more threatening, more energised but still sloppy.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Port Vale
Post by: Peebles Rover on March 24, 2026, 09:08:40 pm
Rovers looking a bit more scrappy this half so far
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Port Vale

Bit wierd here really. Turned on old Radio Ibagué to listen to the commentary  - and guess what? They haven't  got it! Amateurs.....

Doesn't seem like it we had a goal mouth scramble but ref ended up giving free kick to vale.

Final change for them and we have made a double change looks like we may just be seeing the game out now

Game over.  Another 3 points ground out.  50 points with 7 left to play.

Could even end with 60+ points at this rate.!

We played well. Could've should've got a goal or two more.

A scrappy win, but I’ll take it, another 3 points on the board.

Will we get 4 points from the last 3 games to end up on 60.??
