Battling Relegation v Bottling Promotion (Hartlepool v Carlisle)

[Chief Rocka]

Look, both teams are grossly out of form, we've been shite for most of the season, you've apparently been shite since around January time, they can only work with paper facts, take a sample section of form, last 20 matches and we're both in the bottom five having won only 5 matches and losing twice as many, we're 22nd in the league, you're 7th. Take into account Pools home form which is middling to poor, take into account Carlisle's away form, middling to decent, they'll always make Carlisle favourites in a game like this no matter how poor you've been.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Bank it for a few weeks. Pools are drawn to relegation spots like a moth to the flame.

We've been dodging relegation for four seasons now, if our number is called we can have no complaints.

You're turning into us 1999-2004

Grimsby

It was a Grimsby fan

Yes, it was a poor attempt at fishing that was sussed out straight away by Chief Rocka, must try harder lol.

This is the biggest game of the season for us. We simply must not lose this. Lose and we'll likely be bottom 2 come Saturday night. I'd take a draw but ideally a win. What do you have Dave Jones?

 

[hellogregory]

Ah here is that "I'd take a draw" post that appears in every match thread of ours.

Mansfield fans said they'd take a draw... beat us 2-0 without us having a sniff
Cambridge fans said they'd take a draw... thumped us 3-0
Crewe fans said they'd take a draw... eased past us 2-0
Notts County fans said they'd take a draw... beat us 2-1

I could go on. Honestly whatever bad team you think you've seen this season, we're worse. You can't possibly imagine how bad we are, it has to be seen to be believed. Fans of the above teams (if they attended our games) now know how bad we are.

If you draw with us, it's a shockingly bad result for you trust me.

 

[Soup Ladle]

You beat Yeovil in your last away game though? I'm sure you're not that bad. Do you know how bad we are?

Trust me, if you're playing shite and not getting results, a fixture against Hartlepool is the best historical cure for all ailments.

 

[Chief Rocka]

It would be nice like if Dave Jones actually used some of his self proclaimed much fucking talked about wealth of experience when it comes to match days (he's managed in the PREMIER LEAGUE, in case you, I or anyone didn't know by now) whilst in no way is he to blame for our shiteness, he's been a massive disappointment since taking over.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Huge one and a part of me doubts his motives in taking this job on.

I still have some faith in him bearing in mind his track record but he simply must deliver safety this season.

 

[Chief Rocka]

I'd be mega surprised if he was our manager next season, be it league or conference.

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

This has to be the only thread were both fans are predicting the other team to win .... I'm going for 1 0 to Pools , only because I think our defence is not the worst defence in the world , and cos Carlisle are struggling to score ....

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

Any Carlisle fans hoping to 'eyeball' the Poolie fans upon entering the stadium will be dissapointed , we have invested in a 'crowd calming ' screen .......

 

[Chief Rocka]

WTF is that?

Did they really just chuck up some bin liners?

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

According to Tony of Hufc 1908 basically yes ...Bob did it in between doing just about everything else .... its not even where the Carlisle fans pay in , it's where the toilets are .... also the Town End can't exit on the Clarence Road incase they want to start on the away fans , it's ok for the CK stand fans to have a go though ... some of them walking sticks have pointy ends you know !

 

[hellogregory]

I'm not going today. Can't say I'm too bothered really as it will no doubt be a terrible match where we get battered by a slightly less shit team.

Get this on the tinpot thread

Looks like the boys were out for an early morning stroll around the centre.

Unless they were making the useless twats walk to the match.

 

[hellogregory]

That starting 11 though

 

[hellogregory]

It would just be national humiliation live on sky sports if we got in the top 7 anyway.

Sounds like another desperately bad performance.

WE ARE STILL IN THE PLAY OFFS DUMMY.

We can still get promoted and hold our own in L1 next season!

I said "if". Can you not fucking read?

Of course it's mathematically possible we could get promoted, but it would be one of the biggest footballing miracles ever. A team that can't string 2 results together (a bit of a problem if you want to win the playoffs), a team lacking any sort of technical footballing ability, a team that have only kept 2 clean sheets this year, a team that are absolutely toothless in front of goal.

Yep it's technically possibly we can still go up. But it's also technically possible that San Marino will win Euro 2020.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Two desperately poor teams, there was more fight in the stands than on the pitch.

 

[cufc17]

Shite game. Two shite teams. Atmosphere was decent, shame we couldn't hold on to the three points.

Bailey and Waring, fuck me they're bad.

Crazy we're still in the playoffs.

Well it's the best we can do for now, so if you don't like it then either fuck off and be a plastic glory Premier League fan or start up your own football club in Carlisle and call it Negative Twat City.

When have I ever said I wouldn't like us to get promoted?

I may come across as negative, I just call it as I see it so it's honesty. Where as you, well 50% of your posts are attempts at winding up fans of other teams and the other 50% is just making up utter shite about football because you haven't seen many (if any) matches to form an opinion.

Told you we were shite.

Crazy yeah, but also embarsssing for League 2. For a team so devoid of any quality to be 7th with 4 games to go says a lot about the standard of this league. I honestly wouldn't back us to beat a conference north team at the moment.

 

[Vanni]

Told you we were shite.

So, today's was a missed opportunity by Pools to inch their way closer to safer waters?

 

[hellogregory]

Yeah. As I said pre match if Hartlepool draw this match it is a terrible result for them.

Teams won't get an easier chance for 3 points than against us.

We are the worst team in the football league, I don't care if Carver thinks we're one of the best. We're not.
