Port Vale (H) - FA Cup 3rd Round Post Match Thread

He should have been organising the defence did u see his position when pope headed in? He was marking the near goalpost with no vale player in sight.

Stones did no wrong. It's professional football. He should not be babysitting another centre-half. The cross was very good (had to be to clear Stones) and the striker did well. What happened may be useful for TBH's development. No harm done.
 
Think what you like, but I bet you wouldn’t mind a genuine Manchester lad, who grew up on your streets supporting your team and playing for you and being a legend as opposed to super overpaid overseas journeymen. Pope all day.. top lad he is
Shows how you know fuck all, 2 of our starters today were City fans, and one of our subs has 2 grandads who actually played for City.

Correct, the fault was Angelino's, he didn't track the winger, and didn't prevent the cross, but it was a very good cross, and a very good header.
 
I’m late to the party again!!

Nice solid win.

Now onto those rags.

Come On City!!!!!

But he wasn`t good enough for you for donkeys years so I regard him more of a Cheshire lad than a gobby Stoke one.

Pope was a part of Crewe Alexandra Youth Academy, but was not offered a professional contract with the club.[4] He instead was forced to make his name in the Midland Football Alliance with Biddulph Victoria after coming through the Hanley Town under-18 side to find first team football.[5] He also played Sunday league football for Sneyd, and scored four goals for the club as they beat the Butcher's Arms 6–4 in the 2004 final of the Potteries and District Sunday League Cup final.[6] During this time the teenager found work as a window-fitter.[7] He scored fifteen goals in his first season with Biddulph, and added a further twelve to his tally before returning to Crewe as a professional in October 2005 — manager Dario Gradi now convinced of Pope's potential.[8] Pope chose to head to Crewe after two unsuccessful trials with boyhood club Port Vale.[9]

Pope spent much of the 2005–06 season in the Conference North, playing on loan for Lancaster City and then Stafford Rangers.[10] He returned to the division in 2006–07 with Barrow, again on loan.[11] On 10 March 2007, Pope made his debut for Crewe in a 1–0 defeat to Gillingham at the Priestfield Stadium, replacing Gary Roberts on 86 minutes.[12] He made three further appearances from the bench during the rest of the season, all three games ending in defeat."
