Port Vale tonight

It's entirely irrelevant. If he retaliated violently, he'd get sent off. At best, a video review might see the Vale player charged with something too, but that's hardly to Rovers benefit.

The point is the initial stamp was deliberate provocation - what followed could equally have been deliberately engineered by Conlon. We will only know if there is other camera footage made available.

retaliation is a red card though whatever happened prior

got a poor screen grab that doesn't show much of anything but the only frame of anything I can see of incident

Joe,on being asked, mentioned how "reinforcements" are needed in January.

"Work to be done now" first of all.Eg "discipline!"

He knows who they want I'm sure of it and hopefully he can sign them very early January.

Fingers crossed these January sales will be good for Rovers.

Maybe 2 or 3 good uns to go with our current 'best of' can see us achieve something - and as Joe put it - "special".

Still everything to play for and I can see us mounting a serious challenge later in the season.

when daisy Beckham got sent off against the Argies,the population of Buenos Aries did a somersault, but this is a normal thing nowadays,expect it was the same at Salford ,but that never did help much in the end 

- First sending off: didn't see the incident; can't see it on highlights; can't really comment.

- Belly pulled off a couple of great saves early on and also one at the end.

- However, even down to 10 men, we had 2 great chances to take the lead: 1) A shot flashed past the post (Anderson?); most of East Stand thought it was in, were up celebrating; couldn't believe the net didn't bulge. 2) Taylor header from free-kick - really should have scored.

- Their first goal: came from a free-kick; looked a fair challenge to me, winning the ball.

- Our penalty shout: think there was contact; think VAR would have given it; Trev too theatrical in going to ground may have put ref off.

- Second sending off: thought harsh at the time; seeing the highlights I can understand it; Harries wrong body position; kicked their player; last man.

- Potential PVFC sending off: Collins down, writhing round, holding his face; didn't see the incident; can't see it on highlights; can't really comment....
But ... 30 seconds earlier I spotted Collins kick one of their players off the ball. I was wondering if the half-time instructions were to wind their players up, try to get one of them sent off, even the numbers up. Seems that could have been happening all over the pitch - hearing Finley may have been stamped on, leading up to his sending off.

We appear to be more aggressive recently but is it in the right way?
Personally, I prefer us to be more clinically in our play but are we good enough?

Knowing you're faced with a ill-disciplined team managed by a violent psychopath, one might as well try to provoke a reaction. Port Vale did this. I can't blame any team led by that splendid fellow they have there, though. Al Qadi should never have watched him move from Walsall to Port Vale.
