Match Day August 25/26 fixtures

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

We don't have a clue how to break down a compact defence, our attacking movement is so so so poor. Lost count of the times Clay (imo our best player yesterday) had the ball in the centre and the nearest attacking player to him was 40 yards away man marking the Eastleigh defender. We apparently want to play a passing game but there is such a gap between the players in the opposition half and playing out from the back is impossible with Coulson (good defender, don't get me wrong) who has literally got no technical ability whatsoever.

Our main attacking threat is Caprice overlapping Dayton, it's so predictable. Widdowson offers nothing going forwards, Mooney's penalty was dreadful, but it was rivaled by Widdowson getting into a great crossing position, taking about three touches and an eternity to do anything and by then he's closed down. It was frustrating to watch and quite frankly we got a point more than we should have.

Theres nearly 100 miles between cartlepool and harlisle not sure where that rivalry comes from

Hartlepool are (or were) probably the closest lower league team to Carlisle, aside from Morecambe perhaps (or Annan).

Hadrian's Wall Derby.

They latched onto us (as you can see by the two Carlisle fans in this thread) cos they don't have a rival, there's isn't another club in the myriad of leagues who gives a shit enough about Carlisle to consider them rivals so they try and make one up with us.

I thought after getting relegated they'd of got over us

 

[Joe.]

Dominated the game, but couldn't find the net. Ho hum. Roll on Dover and 30 unbeaten (hopefully)!

 

[Soup Ladle]

Fair play RB you've wound this one up good and proper.

It's my club that winds me up, Chester hardly figure at all. Nice try though but I just like a good rant

Absolutely. Every time we play them we have to deal with their bollocks

Don't disagree with this summary, except perhaps that we didn't deserve a point. Eastleigh reminded me of Every Not Very Good Team Who Has Come To Brisbane Road In The Past Three Years And Waltzed Away With The Points (TM) in the fact that they did absolutely fucking nothing for the first half but still found themselves ahead. Then they did absolutely fucking nothing with added extortionate time wasting in the second half.

They should transfer to the Scottish leagues. That way they'll have Gretna and Queen of the South as rivals.

 

[The Terminator]

Fine Margins, JUST went over the line..........

Good decision from the lino, as that useless twunt of a ref wasn't going to give it. Pity it went over the line, really, as Hill and Stack's meltdowns over the goal would have been even funnier.

On a serious note, what the hell is wrong with your club? Getting beat at home against probably a part time club of farmers and plumbers.

Who are supposed to be our rivals with you gone?

No-one considers Carlisle as rivals. Miles away from anyone else in more or less Scotland. The only interesting thing to ever happen with Carlisle football club was when you had those awful Eddie Stobart kits in the mid 90s.

Sticking up for your fellow little Non-League clubs are you?

That's cute.

Ho ho ho sweet bantz

You have been a non league team before now and let's face it, it's highly likely you will be again fairly soon. Enjoy playing Crawley, Forest Green and Accrington in your big league fixtures. Now off you pop.
