Port Vale fans 1st half
We're a disgrace
Get to F*ck vale
This is a really poor showing from the Vale, so disappointing after a good season.
I rest my case on Mcturdy. Good nite vale
Swindon were the best team I have seen at vale this season, it was always going to be tough, then only went a bad run when Lionel Messi Mcturdy was injured a few months go. I think we are in trouble just hope clarke can sort it, not confident though.
What the hell is this performance? Utterly terrible
Swindon have had an off day today and we've buggered it so far.
Would love to have Williams or Payne.
all I want to see is us trying to play football the right way, not this Hoofball.
Mckirdy didn't want to be here. He simply went to us at the time because he fell out with the Carlisle manager and had a reputation. Vale was always going to a short term thing for him
Awful half. We don’t look interested while Swindon are knocking it about with pace and purpose and we are second to everything. We don’t ever look like scoring.
You can have all the sh1tehousery you want but that last minute from McTurdy was pure and simple cheating....how has he not been booked?
And before anybody says it...NO I wouldn't want Vale players doing that.
Looks like we've won a raffle to take part in the playoffs.
How was there only 1 point between the teams?
Swindon look leagues apart here.
Port Vale fans later in the game and post game
Can’t deny it, best team winning…
I think I hate these more than Walsall. But I actually hope if they beat us they win it and go up so we don’t have to play them again next year.
McTurdy and his antics are an absolute disgrace.
Vile diving bunch of <ovf censored>. 2-1 I’ll take that from 2 down. We were poor though
I actually think that losing the first leg by one goal could be the best result. As away goals don't count, they have absolutely no reason to come at us in the second leg. Yes, they may surprise us in that regard, but I'm hopeful.
Well, it could have been much worse… we need to score first on Thursday….he may be a horrible little scrote, but McKirdy knows where the net is
13 shots to their 13, more possession. Wasn't the diabolical performance the usual on here are claiming. I quite enjoyed it personally. Yes, too many players off their A-game, but we more than matched them in any event.
Anyway, Swindon better side first half, we shaded second, one of those games where 1½-1 would have been about the right result.
Performance was abysmal.
Very lucky that ball dropped to us to keep the tie alive.
Huge improvement needed for Thursday.
Swindon have the best away record in League Two
You were watching a different game to the rest of us then. Apart from the last 10 mins we never had control of the game.
Still in the tie, that’s the main thing I guess. Swindon were the better team overall and perhaps it was more likely to finish 3-0 than 2-1.
Anyone who can look at that performance and call it good, I'm amazed. Second best all over the pitch but especially in attack.
Why the hell did we get rid of mckirdy??
Note sure why McKirdy gets so much grief from us. He’s a good player at this level and we didn’t exactly utilise him when he was here.
Strong second half performance.
Could have drawn if Wilson's header had gone on.
Swindle scored their second at the right time for them. We're still in it.
They have two of the most irritating mardarses in football.
Little Jonny...10 passes,57 dives and roll overs
Harry McTurdy...2 goals,3453 spits....what a horrible habit.
It might work in our favour will be I interesting to see how swindon set up, will they try to defend the lead I dont think so I dont think they can to many offensive players in there team which might enable us to get the goals. We do tend to struggle against teams who sit in swindon dont but we just need make sure we dont get beat on the break.
Got out of jail at the end with a largely underserved goal. Still in the tie but we’ll have to play completely differently. Williams and Payne ran the show and it’s embarrassing watching Charsley and Pett chase after them like youth team players.
People saying we shouldn’t have released McKirdy have short memories. Stevenage away anyone? He was total rubbish for us last season, didn’t put the effort in, and by all accounts was a rotten apple in the squad. On what grounds would we have kept him? I don’t particularly care what he’s done after.
It's no surprise we lost to Swindon, it's probably the worst team we could have got in the play offs and there probably glad they are playing us as they always beat us. Our record since around 2005 against them is dreadful so for us to overturn this we are going have to do what vale sides from the last 17 years have failed to do beat them and beat them convincely.
We are still in the tie but for me I can't see us beating Swindon by 2 clear goals to make it to the final. Hopefully they prove me wrong, but more likely we will miss out and go up in the top 3 next season as the play offs are a lottery.
And a word for Swindon’s away end. It’s a disgrace that clubs are allowed to put supporters in stands like that. Former Premier League side with an open end, seats bolted on to a terrace and the facilities of a non-league side. Incredible that the ground regs for the professional game don’t require stands to all be covered and to an acceptable standard.
They really weren't that much better than us.
We are 1 goal down going into a playoff semi final AT home and people have given up on the club.You couldn't make it up.
McKirdy was quoted as saying he would never play for the Vale and while he was on the field for us he never did.
And for a change some fans of other clubs take on it, Northampton fans dont post much so here is Mansfield and Rovers fans take
Mansfield fans
Crap atmosphere in this Swindon Vale game
I hope our game looked better for the TV audience last night, as this is pretty dull fare.
I see plenty of empty seats in the away end so Vale couldn't have sold out their allocation.
Looks like a few home seats empty as well.
This games pace is a lot lot slower
Vale going forward... theres 9 swindon players back and vice versa. Very evenly matched and not much football on show
It's so bad I've put the Spurs game on.
Mc Kirdy 2-0, he really is a strange character. Gets away with being a lightweight too, defenders are too nice to him
We could bully Swindon. Vale have been poor.
Both havnt really played well
Swindon about edged it and will probably feel a like us
got a nasty feeling the little irritant McKirdy will be the star of these play offs
If we can get past Northampton I really do think we can beat Swindon or PV if we play to our best
Rovers fans take on it, its a long thread so wont post it all.
