I’d almost forgotten about the furore in the game away to Vale involving Husbands picking up a red card, and that Vale were convinced it was some kind of mass conspiracy – but it seems the Valiants haven’t forgotten, and are still even now bitching about it on their official website, as they seek to capitalise on our recent wobble in form and pick up a result at the City Ground on boxing day.
Not only that, reading the article they’re apparently after revenge for Smoulders picking up a manager of the month award ahead of Foyle, and for us nicking top spot from them – all in all, they seem to have a bit of a bee in their bonnet about us – I suppose they will be moaning that we stipulated Ross Gardner couldn’t play against us as part of his loan agreement as well!
My favourite section of the whingefest on the Vale official site is this:
Martin Foyle missed out on the Manager of the Month Award earlier in the season to Forest boss Colin Calderwood. Although the league for of both clubs was excellent, Forest lost to Accrington Stanley in the Carling Cup and Vale beat Preston, but still Sky TV decided Calderwood was the deserving recipient.
Vale will be looking to seek revenge on a side that contributed to Michael Husbands’ sending off in the fixture at ValePark in September, which sparked a melee both on and off the pitch.
Silly buggers; but still, if they’re as wound up as they sound then surely it wouldn’t take much to wind them up a bit further into making silly mistakes
