74 Days Later Mon 21st Mar 2011 After an extraordinary, bewildering, brain-burning 74 turbulent days of overwhelmingly appalling and deplorable managment which manifested itself in bust-ups here, there and everywhere, the alienation of coaching staff and players, and an alarming slide down the table Jim Gannon has been dismissed from Vale Park. |
Gannon Got It All Wrong Mon 14th Mar 2011 Vale slumped to a Jim Gannon inspired 1-2 defeat at home to Oxford Utd on Saturday after a bewilderingly shambolic 2nd half performance which had the whole of Vale Park (including the players) wondering what was going on... |
Dismantling Stevenage On Tuesday Night Sat 19th Feb 2011 Stevenage Borough. Precisely the kind of mid-table fodder that we should be ripping apart at Vale Park with considerable ease. Unfortunately for us Gary Roberts starts his three match ban on Tuesday night, surely Exodus Geohaghan won't be reprising his standing-around-doing-nowt-in-midfield role? |
The Valiants Are Back Sat 19th Feb 2011 Vale sparkled under the floodlights and registered a well deserved 2-1 victory over Bradford City in last nights televised clash. Are we beginning to turn the corner under Jim Gannon? The evidence suggests that this is very much the case, we are once again solid at the back and are now creating chances. The Valiants are back on track... |
We're On Telly Friday Night! Tue 15th Feb 2011 Our Friday night clash with Bradford City will be shown live on SKY Sports, so let's hope to God that we don't serve up anything as painfully shocking as the first 70 minutes of Saturdays encounter with Northampton Town. |
Why Is Exodus Geohaghon At Vale Park? Sun 13th Feb 2011 Just how woeful was Exodus during yesterdays 1-1 draw with Northampton Town? One of the most astonishingly bereft virtuoso displays in recent times at Vale Park. Up there with Neil Mackenzie and Caig Rocastle. He was utterly dreadful. "He's just like a fat Kevin Francis" was the remark made in the Bycars toilets at half-time... |
Is A Bee Sting Ever Fatal? Sun 23rd Jan 2011 What surprises does Jim Gannon have up his sleeve for us on Tuesday evening for the visit of Barnet? Boomer partnering John McCombe at the back in the absence of Gareth Owen? A seven man midfield? Sean Rigg getting a game? Anything, it appears, is possible with Gannon at the helm... |
The Jim Gannon Experiment Sun 23rd Jan 2011 Pugnacious, belligerent, aggressive, tactless, contentious, bewildering, perplexing, peevish, waspish and supercilious. Just what is Jim Gannon all about, and just where the hell is he taking us? |
It's Football Jim, But Not As We Know It Sat 22nd Jan 2011 Three games in charge and three defeats for new Gaffer Jim Gannon with todays 0-1 disaster at home to Cheltenham Town. Not the greatest of starts really. In terms of popularity he's up there with Dean Glover right now as our season continues it's alarming slide with calamity lurking around every corner. |
Tommy Fraser Has Gone Fri 21st Jan 2011 Club Captain Tommy Fraser has left by 'mutual consent' this week, and has signed with Barnet until the end of the season. Fraser, who joined us in May 2009, was Micky Adams first signing, but after showing initial signs of promise his form and confidence dipped badly. This season he has hardly featured, making brief appearances as a 90th minute substitute. |
