The BELEAGUERED Carlisle Utd Thread

[Carver]

Congratulations on the win on Thursday lads (I only just saw the result), sweet to do that to a local rival under your current circumstances.

Whatever happens looks like it'll be an exciting end to the season.

The other night you said we should start getting used to posting in the non-league forum and to look forward to playing in the FA trophy.

So I appreciate that you've changed your tune towards us now. I hope you lot go up automatically instead of Wycombe who really have a poor support base.

I've said many times that I don't want Carlisle to go down. But that time specifically, and immediately after a frustrating Wrexham loss in the BSM semi final, you went on the League one board to take the piss, and that annoyed me.

I don't want you or Tranmere to go down. I want Accrington, Morecambe or Harrogate to go down. They've had a good run but now it's time for them to go back to non-league.

 

[Scum.]

We will give you Lindsey in the summer for compensation.

For what it's worth I reckon our chances of being relegated are around 55% roughly a 4/5 - 5/6 shot. Which in anyone's book is a fair fighting chance.

The bookies generally give us a 60% chance of relegation at 4/6.

After the Swindon defeat I had us at a 65% chance of relegation or 8/15.

I reckon those are realistic numbers considering everything.

Saying we have a 100% chance of relegation is simply poor mathematics.

 

[Scratchers]

Until I see this team prove that it can back up a win, there is no reason to think it can stay up.

This is our 6th win of the season and after each of the first 5 we have failed to build on it and have followed it up with a month or even 2 months of utter shit. Hell I could even look back at the whole of last season and see the same pattern. Continue that and we’re down. I don’t know what’s controversial about that.

I base my Carlisle United views on what I’ve actually seen the team produce, not blind baseless hope. No need to be a prick to me because of that.

I’d love nothing more than the team to prove otherwise and do what it’s failed to do for the past 2 years by going on a run. But you won’t see me announcing that we’re staying up after one win in a month. If that makes me a wet vagina so be it.

The season we won the playoffs you were predicting a defeat every match if I remember correctly. A stopped clock is correct twice a day.

I admit, I didn’t predict us to win promotion that season. Didn’t see it coming at all.

But equally, i didn’t predict relegation this season. Didn’t see it coming at all (I refer you to the predictions thread if you suspect I am not telling the truth)

Obviously as the season has progressed and I’ve seen the shit tip we put on the pitch every week that prediction has since changed and I do absolutely see us being relegated. I do hold my hands up whenever I do get it wrong. But it’s not crime of the century.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

Carlisle have taken 5 points from their last three games and haven’t conceded a goal in those games. They have a new manager and if they win their game in hand they will be out of the relegation places.
Having played both Carlisle and Morecambe in the past couple of weeks Morecambe are far worse.
I know they aren’t in a great place but this talk of being 100% down is quite frankly laughable

 

[hellogregory]

Laughable from afar maybe and based off a one off game.

I’ve watched Carlisle all season and I’ve yet to see us build on a win. Its always one win a month (at best) then a run of defeats with the odd draw thrown in.

Unless that changes we will be relegated. I’m not wrong in saying that.

Based off previous I’ve no reason to think things are suddenly going to change.

I’d love to be proved wrong, but I won’t be.

I get that mate, and you have obviously seen a lot more of them than me, but my point is something has changed I.e. the manager. You have clearly tightened up at the back which needed to be done.
You are not cast adrift by any means and you still have a fighting chance. In fact, with your game in hand it is actually in your own hands.

 

[Tallow]

The only person who is stating 100% down is Hellogregory.
Everyone else is realistic and acknowledges we have a fighting chance. What's the point of playing or supporting if you have a defeatist attitude.
13 games left and 3 points adrift, give over with this 100% nonsense.

Genuine question…

Why do I get hammered for saying I 100% think we’re going down, but you can say on 7th December that you’re 100% convinced we’ll stay up.

I'm 100% convinced we'll be safe.

What's the difference? At least I’m basing my thinking on what the team has actually been producing over a long period of time.
