I don't expect to see any decent football at BP for some time, with a possible 25% reduction in the football budget next season. .]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed61/luton_highlights_916336/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed61/luton_highlights_916336/index.shtml Sat, 21 Apr 2018 21:00:00 +0000 A couple of good saves from their keeper but once again we flatter to deceive. Chances not put away and an equalise from a cross from our left-back position, again. Anyone looking forward to next season? Anyone?.]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/morecambe_highlights_916202/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/morecambe_highlights_916202/index.shtml Sun, 15 Apr 2018 21:00:00 +0000 They seem resigned to not making the playoffs and make the same criticisms of their own side as we do - balls lumped forward, no one on the end of crosses etc etc. Four wins for us are highly unlikely even though those teams above us are getting nervous. .]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed15/swindon__the_home_view_916027/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed15/swindon__the_home_view_916027/index.shtml Sat, 07 Apr 2018 21:00:00 +0000 No footage of the penalty incident, nor of the incident that gave them the free-kick from which thy scored. But poor refereeing doesn't hide that we failed to create chances - the best was Bennett's opportunity that he mis-kicked - And passing was poor.]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/lincoln_highlights_915943/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/lincoln_highlights_915943/index.shtml Mon, 02 Apr 2018 21:00:00 +0000 A good team would read these tactics, go at us hard from the start and bring a couple of quick midfielders after an hour. We're playing such a team tomorrow]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/cheltenham_highlights_915911/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/cheltenham_highlights_915911/index.shtml Sat, 31 Mar 2018 21:00:00 +0000 Here it is then, thanks to the Cumberland News. Do you believe the Club or Kirdi? As with most things, the truth will be somewhere in between.]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed16/kirdigate_915910/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed16/kirdigate_915910/index.shtml Sat, 31 Mar 2018 21:00:00 +0000 You lost - get over it. It's no good being the better side (in your view) but not scoring and losing when the opposition strengthen. You were out-thought. It happens, move on.]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed15/the_opposition_view__cheltenham_915883/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed15/the_opposition_view__cheltenham_915883/index.shtml Thu, 29 Mar 2018 21:00:00 +0000 The petition has only reached 11k signatures so far. The Government seem happy withthe in which the sport is run and think that finances are better than they've been for 20 years. Really, and at what cost to football?.]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed15/hmg_respond_to_regulator_request_915859/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed15/hmg_respond_to_regulator_request_915859/index.shtml Thu, 29 Mar 2018 21:00:00 +0000 The interesting bit from his N&S interview. Let's remember that the budget is likely to be 20 - 25% down on last season, so signing him could lead to less to spend on other players and after an injury, he could be a gamble. But, boy, he's good! .]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/adams_speaks_915856/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/adams_speaks_915856/index.shtml Wed, 28 Mar 2018 21:00:00 +0000 or the ack of it. Interesting comments from a former player, especially as it's certain that, without a change of ownership, our budget could be cut by 20-25% next season]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed15/lumsdon_commentso9n_squad_building_915820/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed15/lumsdon_commentso9n_squad_building_915820/index.shtml Mon, 26 Mar 2018 21:00:00 +0000 No surprises. Once the name was in the public domain, why wait so long to confirm it?.]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed16/billionaire_named_915792/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed16/billionaire_named_915792/index.shtml Sun, 25 Mar 2018 21:00:00 +0000 We should have buried them in the first half when we had 65% possession but we couldn't finish. Their keeper was the difference overall but we also had a weak bench due to international call-ups. Forget the playoffs, it's not happening. .]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/cambridge_highlights_915789/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/cambridge_highlights_915789/index.shtml Sun, 25 Mar 2018 21:00:00 +0000 Poor substitutions despite Curle's claims of illness Bennett's height was a threat, so off he went. After that every change made our performance worse. Why was Lambe left on? Is O'Sullivan a footballer. Easy answers]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/crawley_highlights_915648/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/crawley_highlights_915648/index.shtml Sun, 18 Mar 2018 21:00:00 +0000 It sounded like an even game, though we got on top after the subs came on. Even so, a point at Exeter is decent. We're nicely placed, though other teams still have those games in hand.]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/exeter_highlights_915506/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/exeter_highlights_915506/index.shtml Sat, 10 Mar 2018 21:00:00 +0000 We were well on top, though they has a shout for a foul on the keepers for our second. I thought it was a accidental coming together and the ref seems to have seen it the same way, if he saw it at all. Hope took a poor penalty]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/grimsby_highlights_915374/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/grimsby_highlights_915374/index.shtml Sat, 03 Mar 2018 21:00:00 +0000 They blame themselves, a notable trend amongst our recent opposition. It's never 'they were good and played us off the park". No, once again we were apparently only slightly better than them. Oh well, you can only beat what's put in front of you]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed15/the_grimsby_view_915371/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed15/the_grimsby_view_915371/index.shtml Sat, 03 Mar 2018 21:00:00 +0000 Well, old plans dusted off. Probably a diversionary story because there's nothing new to say about anything else. Cake tomorrow!.]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed16/new_ground_plans_915272/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed16/new_ground_plans_915272/index.shtml Sun, 25 Feb 2018 21:00:00 +0000 Well, it was a bit hairy at the end but another hard-won three points on the road, and three wins in a row. Can we make it 4 against Grimsby? Well we should, but you know what we're like; quite likely to blow it. Anyway the playoffs are out of sight]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/yeovil_highlights_915249/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/yeovil_highlights_915249/index.shtml Sat, 24 Feb 2018 21:00:00 +0000
