       Port Vale fans unhappy with Thomas Kirk’s handling of their game
       v Salford. The penalty awarded to the visitors looked soft, but
       not wrong, wish we’d had him for the Fleetwood game purely on
       that criteria. Then a red card after the final whistle for
       Curtis, apparently grabbing a Salford player by the throat. The
       footage doesn’t help, suggestion it was a reaction to something
       said/done by the opponent. Perhaps Mr Kirk only saw the end of
       the incident, as you’d expect some sanction for the initiator if
       that account is correct.
       Also Swindon v Chesterfield Charles Breakspear only showing a
       YC, when Swindon’s Smith seems to fling a Chesterfield player to
       the ground.

       And Holloway sent off, presumably for moaning at the yellow card
       decision?!

       Wow. That was a very hostile atmosphere at Tranmere, Boz! I
       decided to put the game on Sky sports plus when I saw 8 mins
       added, and the constant booing at the end towards the management
       wasn’t good. Something needs to change otherwise you’re in the
       mud…

       That's a prescient observation Ryan, given Adkins has now gone.
       Could well be our last FL home game in a while against Crewe at
       the end of April.
       I was working so limited to the audio commentary of the game,
       which sounded grim. Only seen brief match highlights so far, but
       my sources at the game thought Richard Eley had a reasonable
       game.

       I wonder how Tranmere's No 1 fan, Mike Dean, is taking it. Could
       he be in line to take over at Prenton Park?
       😊
       Ryan - I've only just seen the Crewe highlights from last
       Saturday and yes, the foul leading to the penalty award looked
       suspiciously outside the penatly area.

       Glad Richard seemed to have a better game, hopefully it was just
       a really bad day Saturday! I do have my fingers crossed for
       Tranmere, enjoyed my visit a few years ago and been hoping to
       get back but dates haven’t worked. Good fans and good people and
       for selfish reasons, even though it’s a long way from Essex,
       it’s a fair bit closer than Carlisle or Morecambe!

       See Port Vale's Ronan Curtis was successful in overturning the
       Red Card, awarded by Tom Kirk last weekend, an incident which I
       mentioned earlier in this thread.

       This, as one expects of Boz, is a perfectly sensible post. The
       Dumb rating is totally inadvertent - and should be taken as
       applying to this old bloke with dodgy fingers. As I have
       indicated in the past, I would never knowingly use the Dumb
       emoji and only in extreme cases would I use Dislike. If I appear
       to do so, please ignore me.

       Which I think is interesting, because it doesn’t get picked up
       on camera what happened. Unless Port Vale had another angle we
       haven’t seen, why was it overturned?

       I agree. There was a clip of the full incident from start to
       finish on the Port Vale website, but I didn't think that showed
       a clear error was made by the referee, although my impression
       was Mr Kirk didn't see the whole incident or some sanction would
       have been taken against the initiator as well as the red for the
       reaction.
