Also its the fire memorial day, very poignant for many city fans, especially those of us present that day.
Hopefully as always the day is given the due respect it is due.

 

I've never had an issue when old players come back, score and give the fans some back.

We are down right disrespectful to some old players, who've done their best and for one of another reason it didn't work out.

 

I'm sure the good folk of Cumbria will respect and behave impeccably, unlike the City idiots who taunted the Northampton fans a few years ago.

 

Exactly.i want Hughes to have the calibre of player such as Jamie Walker at the club. I don't want journey men or shite loans or be told we have held money back for January. Give him the right squad in the summer.

 

17000 for a “meaningless” end of season game is astonishing at this level.
Of course, this is not a meaningless game for us and I hope the Carlisle fans put on a show all football fans can be proud of. You know, just to show that football isn’t everything.

 

Yeah thought today Gillead was actually up there for MOTM with his tracking back, winning the ball back and all round good effective distribution.

Good overall performance today and ,with better talent on the pitch next season, we could be in for a much better season

 

His cover tackle in the second half was a beauty

 

It's absolutely crucial we back him with everything we've got. I don't want to see us miss out next season because we didn't back a talented manager. This talk by sparks of having a bigger budget than 70 to 80% of the division, I want that to be 80 to 90% of the division. A club pulling in the numbers we do should be able to compete with pretty much any team in the division.

 

It wasn't nailed on anyway. Never a penalty and the referee was excellent today

 

good end to the season. 3 straight wins and a record attendance for us in league 2 ,18283 is fantastic for a football match with nothing riding on it. It just goes to show if you get the product right , the fans will flock in.

 

Really? Songo had Patrick in his back pocket all game .

Gibson was mediocre at best, his free kicks were shite

 

I can confirm that I was at both games. Really enjoyed today but the Workington mid week match was a huge disappointment.

 

Ex players who score against us should come immediately to our supporters shouting sorry while getting on their knees and flagellating themselves with a city scarf

 

Today’s going to be a good day three points for City oh I’ve got my son-in-law attending today and it’s Mrs Rockets birthday bash tonight
. Hopefully John Kane will be playing a tune for Mrs Rocket Radio Sheffield tonight one for you Soulies sorry Bronco.

 

You make it sound like a prison sentence

 

Agree about Patrick. Thought Songo’o played him perfectly by just playing a yard off him.
Pace wise Patrick wins everyday but Songo’o used his superior physical strength on a number of occasions and either eased the ball or Patrick out of play.

 

It was very close. Lower kop was busier than at any point of the season and that's usually a good marker as to the size of the crowd

 

I would say there was. The main stand upper was busier than normal and the lower kop was a lot fuller as well.

 

Maybe there was more and the club knocked the total down and put a few hundred quid in the back pocket.
Does it really matter if they counted all the season ticket holders and some did not actually attend.
I still say well done to all , its a great achievement at this level, especially after the season we have had.

 

I agree with you Shoatsy, I thought Patrick was very poor - but the lad who came on up front for the last 10-15 was even worse!

Is he a good athlete? Sure. Did he cause us any problems? No.

Overall opinion of the Carlisle squad?

Cheap, and poor.
