Play Offs

[Indian Dan]

Have to say, the play off standard looks much lower than last years play offs. Is that just how the games have played out, or has the chasing pack looked weaker this season?

It’s been piss poor, tbh - Orient excepted. Even worse indictment on our season that we couldn’t manage fuck all in such a weak season.

 

[Indian Dan]

Game on. Come on Bradford!

 

[kieran_vale]

Carlisle fans were tempting fate in extra time singing Que Sera and “you’ve had your big day out now fuck off home”. Bad karma singing that too early.

I was about to say, the quality is very low but maybe it's nerves?

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Fair play to Bradford for coming back in, thought once the second was in that was that, now can Carlisle keep it going.

 

[Ellis]

Agent Barclay.

 

[kieran_vale]

What a ball in. Cracking goal.

 

[Bobbin']

Keeper

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Great cross but where did the keeper think his goal was? Strange bit of keeping.

 

[jacobncfc]

Hahaha where’s the ‘keeper off to!?!

The commentary and coverage of these is absolutely dire compared to BT in the Vanarama.

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

At least its been an entertaining ET. Clearly penalties arent wanted!

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Great header where on earth was Bradford defence.

Need to keep going though Carlisle hasn’t a team to really sit back on lead.

 

[Super_horns]

Carlisle back in front thanks to a Stockport player on loan !

 

[Indian Dan]

I was about to say, the quality is very low but maybe it's nerves?

Not really. I know those unsuccessful teams like to say how poor it’s been - but that is undeniably true for this season.

 

[Ellis]

we should be breaking Stockys spreadsheet and giving moxon and his agent fat stacks of cash if we get promoted.

 

[kieran_vale]

This is peak fucking Sky to have a technical fault in the last few mins of extra time.

 

[Ellis]

lol

 

[chrisblor]

Hahahahah of all the times they could pick to lose the feed, incredible from Sky

 

[jacobncfc]

Wouldn’t get this shit with Virgo and the boys.

 

[LordJord]

Carlisle owe Barclay for his goal there. Im sure he will have plenty of credit with the fans following his loan spell. Other puns are available.

For as good a keeper as Lewis is where he was going on that cross?!

Also as pointed out, BT's coverage of non league is so far above Sky's lower league coverage.

 

[Super_horns]

Has the coverage cut out ?!

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

The sky coverage has been a joke on now tv, cut off in first half and now cut off here.

Bloody useless

 

[The Terminator]

Sky at the most crucial part of the game, have their cables cut FFS!

 

[TheEndIsNigh]

Hahaha where’s the ‘keeper off to!?!

The commentary and coverage of these is absolutely dire compared to BT in the Vanarama.

Yeah the worst thing about promotion is losing the BT coverage. Sky is shite even when it works.

This football here is er somewhat agricultural. It’ll be a big shock when the Vanarama Galacticos turn up.

Great to see an old fashioned terrace full though.

 

[kieran_vale]

For another time but that’s the worst thing we’ve got a lot more years of it with the new TV deal.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

The better team won on the day, we were terrible.

Best of luck to Carlisle in the final. And Stockport, thankfully Salford won’t be there, but unfortunately that means two more games against them next season.

Time to forget about football and enjoy my summer.

 

[kieran_vale]

Well done Carlisle, an excellent performance I think since the second half of the first leg. Main thing is at least no Salford.

 

[leedsvaliant]

Yep, better team on the day won. What is going on with Bradford? Biggest team in the league and you would assume one of the biggest budgets but they just can't seem to get the right formula. Is it an ownership issue? Or is the manager just signing players and hoping they go together? Just seems like they should be at least challenging for the automatic places, yet only just made the playoffs.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

We deserve that and think so far we have played best of the four play off sides (amazingly since we were the worst going into it)

The large Wembley pitch should suit the tactics also with our direct out wide play.

 

[AnotherStagsFan]

Bradford should have started that player they kept crying about for player of the season
