msc 17,762 Posted February 12, 2015 Oh, right, Billy Connolly's team as well, aren't they? He regularly made a joke that casual football fans thought they were called Partick Thistlenil. Yeah. My wife reminds me of that one on almost a weekly basis! There's always some time worse off than your own though. Unless you support Barnstoneworth United, naturally.

themaninblack 2,112 Posted February 12, 2015 Oh aye, and whilst I'm on this thread, Carlisle United surged into the 93rd minute with a 1-0 lead last night and still wound up on the wrong end of a 1-2 home defeat. Have any other readers seen their team capitulate so badly in less than two minutes? My lot once went 2-0 down, fought back to equalise in injury time, then immediately lost to an own goal. There was another - horrible - day against Gretna when they managed to concede three goals in about as many minutes. S'cuse my ignorance, who are your "lot" again? I feel your pain either way. Shrewsbury went over 92 and a half minutes without scoring and then bagged two in 67 seconds. We'd have climbed to 16th (a height we haven't reached all season), if we'd have hung on for the win. Partick Thistle. A small fish in a small pond (hey, I'd even be wary of Fort William in the Cup!). Oh, right, Billy Connolly's team as well, aren't they? He regularly made a joke that casual football fans thought they were called Partick Thistlenil. Billy Connolly is Sellick, surely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either that or he just knows the value of a seat for life at Parkhead when you can get it! (Monetary wise of course - I'm not suggesting supporting the club.) He did make the joke though.

DevonDeathTrip 2,288 Posted March 8, 2015 DDT's Exeter City gave MPFC's Carlisle United a lesson in total football yesterday. Exeter's management were so pleased with the dedication of the fans travelled the length of the country to behold the spectacle, that they each received a letter of thanks.

maryportfuncity 10,017 Posted April 18, 2015 Don't want to get over confident but... Carlisle are 2-0 up after 84 mins All the teams in the bottom three are losing by at least two goals and the team above us this morning are losing 2-1. I will now take my place in front of Final Score safe in the knowledge that our league status is assured for another year. Safe with two games to go, it's what Carlisle fans dreams are made of! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well that and the prospect of at least ten and maybe up to 13 away games near MPFC Towers next season, damn good time for the new investment and apparent injection of ambition at Carlisle United.

charon 4,938 Posted April 20, 2015 After the doing by caley yesterday, the conspiracies abound The penalty incident that wasn't given. Referee...."I didn't see it"... Aye right, but what's this handshake all about? Very remenicent about Tiny Wharton and the bastard. Fair dos to caley , and I hope they scutch Falkirk in the Final..

Aye right, but what's this handshake all about? Very remenicent about Tiny Wharton and the bastard. Fair dos to caley , and I hope they scutch Falkirk in the Final.. S'cuse the cynicism but... The green hooped juggernaut has one day when the wheels come a little loose and their abundance of skill is bested by a bunch of grafters. Usually they'd swamp opposing teams to the point that it'd take a blantantly bent ref to rob them of a win. So, how could you pre-meditate doing that, most refs will expect to roll up and officiate as Celtic win, win and win-a-fucking-gain, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,938 Posted April 22, 2015 If that was the case, the number of Trebles would be a lot higher...... Caley 3rd in league, drew with us last week, not exactly a "shock". The handshake gave me a large "LOL" though, reminiscent of : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
