The topic is: Carlisle United
[cufconline] Well we had three people in - Me (Alastair), Dave Atkinson and
- Lynsey Brock
kynson> Hi all!
[cufconline] Hi there Dave!
[dcumbrian] bad result yesterday, did we play well?
kynson> Crap game, or what ?-(
[dcumbrian] Hi Lynsey
[cufconline] Did we play well? No
[dcumbrian] Stevens still missing the easy ones
kynson> Too right, doesn't bode well for Hartlepool
[cufconline] He missed two sitters again...
kynson> I can't believe they replace their 'keeper with an outfield player
- and we _still_ couldn't score
[dcumbrian] maybe he should be dropped to 'encourage' him
kynson> Maybe, stick Dobie in there instead.
[cufconline] Never put him under any pressure - even MK said so
[cufconline] I think we missed Anthony in midfield - no creative players
- yesterday
kynson> I moved to the end of the stand after they scored yesterday, I just
- couldn't leave the ground though
[dcumbrian] Is he injured?
kynson> What about Hopper as man of the match ?! I thought perhaps Prokas.
[cufconline] I never leave early as a rule - you never know when a goal
- might go in...
[cufconline] Searle was OK, Anthony got the award in the Sunday Sun.
kynson> It was a stupid freekick to concede at the end, though
[cufconline] Sorry - Whitehead got the award!!
kynson> Aye, Whitehead was OK
[dcumbrian] I started leaving earlt last season, gave me a head start back
- to Sheffield
[cufconline] Was it a free kick - Brightwell contested it
kynson> Have you seen the Dixons Freeserve thing? I got a couple of CDs and
- we are going to trial it at work next week.
[dcumbrian] free-kick or not - we should still defend it
[cufconline] Everybody's going on it - so it seems
kynson> I think it was a freekick from where I sat, although the bloke was
- looking for it.
[dcumbrian] The Dixon's thing is getting slagged for the help call charges
- in the mags
>> Linsey7 has joined channel #XC.1228116
kynson> £1 per minute, isn't it?
[cufconline] Ahh here's little Lin!
kynson> Hi Linsey
[Linsey7] hi again
[dcumbrian] yeah although they call you back after £20
[cufconline] I think the idea is you don't call support!
[cufconline] Has anybody here actually tried it yet ??
kynson> I think they (Dixon's Freeserve) do have free email based support
- though
[Linsey7] How was the game yesterday?
kynson> Crao, Lin
[cufconline] I see aberdeen beat Dunfermline yesterday, Linsey
kynson> Oops, Crap lin
[Linsey7] thought so
[Linsey7] yes I know!!!
[dcumbrian] No I'm on force9 (getting cheap rate phone calls and discount
- with being on cable)
[Linsey7] first win for ages
[cufconline] Pipex is still best IMO - but expensive
kynson> I'll let the list know about our evaluation period, we will try it
- for all of next week.
[dcumbrian] Dunfermline suppoprter? linsey
[Linsey7] no aberdeen
[cufconline] Is it a good idea for the UK Net to have free access - how will
- it all be funded??
[cufconline] Which part of Aberdeen do you live in, Lin?
kynson> Alastair and I were talking last week about keeping the chatlogs.
- I'll be adding them to my website on Monday, provided no one objects
[Linsey7] Danestone
[cufconline] You can find last week's log below the chat room
[dcumbrian] No problem with me, I used last weeks to find out what had been
- said
[cufconline] Where's Danestone??
kynson> Aye, I spotted that this morning and I've saved it.
[Linsey7] Beside Bridge of Don
[cufconline] North side of town then ???
[Linsey7] Do u know where that is?!
[Linsey7] yes
[cufconline] I had relatives who used to live on Deeside gardens
[Linsey7] really?
kynson> What does anyone think of our chances against Hartlepool after that
- performance yesterday?
[dcumbrian] what happens with all these trialists? rave reviews, about to
- sign , then disappear
[cufconline] But they moved away - my aunt & uncle live near Stonehaven now
[Linsey7] oh I remember you said that last week
[cufconline] That picture of me on this site was actually taken in Aberdeen!
[cufconline] Triallists - both were released
kynson> I think the trialists thing is a smokescreen to placate the fans.
[cufconline] Too many triallists and loanees - when is he going to sign
- somebody permanently??
kynson> Kosh knows.
[dcumbrian] Kosh? something out of Babylon5
kynson> Er. Oops. Yes.
[cufconline] Did the fireworks go ahead last night ??
[dcumbrian] I've just started watching series 4
kynson> Funny thing, I was going down with some mates and by the time we got
- there it was over!
[cufconline] I never heard any thing loud - normally you can hear them from
- miles away!
[dcumbrian] Was that the match or the fireworks?
kynson> I've been taping B5 off SciFi channel.
[cufconline] Both fizzled out!
[dcumbrian] Yeah, thats where I watch it (9.00 pm for three months)
kynson> I use Kosh as an alternative to God in exclamations
[dcumbrian] plays havoc with social life
kynson> Ah, that's what the VCR is for.
[cufconline] Satellite TV- how much do you pay?
kynson> £11.99 for the multichannel package, although I have just subscribed
- to FilmFour
kynson> for 5.99
[cufconline] I wonder whether digital will take off??
[dcumbrian] Actually on cable £39 per month for package including movies and
- sport
kynson> I don't have sports or the other films
[dcumbrian] digital will take off because people want the lastest
[Linsey7] What do you get for the multichannel package?
[cufconline] On digital??
[Linsey7] Satellite
[cufconline] I'm not on satellite so I couldn't tell you Lin
[Linsey7] it's ok, it doesn't matter
[dcumbrian] Will I be able to watch Carlisle from the paddock on didital
[dcumbrian] digital even
kynson> A lot, Sky 1, Living, Paramount, Bravo, Channel 5, UK Gold, Granada
- Plus, Granada Breeze, TNT,  Animal Planet, Discovery, UK Horizons, MTV and
- VH-1. Also there are several free channels including Eurosport and News
- channels.
[cufconline] If every club gets its own channel and controllable camera
- positions !!
[cufconline] Do you think the package is good VFM ?
[dcumbrian] No most of the stuff is just constant repeats and then passed to
- another channel
[Linsey7] ok thanks kynson
kynson> I can't see carlisle going on digital TV, it will only be for big
- clubs who have to turn away fans. Then again, Calrisle have a lot of exiles.
[cufconline] We might be part of a Nationwide League channel perhaps ??
kynson> I think the Multichannel package is good value.
[dcumbrian] interesting?#
[cufconline] But I cant see much revenues from PPV??
kynson> FilmFour looks good because those are the type of film I like
[dcumbrian] How would the nationwide spread the coverage
[cufconline] Yeah - not Hollywood rubbish...
kynson> PPV for Carlisle? Surely they should be paying us!
[Linsey7] There's a midweek Carlisle game isn't there?
[cufconline] Nationwide coverage - possibly 3 games a week Fri/Sun/Mon??
[cufconline] Yes at Darlington

[petertel] I wondered if I was too late
[dcumbrian] Hi peter
kynson> How is the sunny land then ?-)
[cufconline] No not at all Peter!
[petertel] Hi Everyone
[cufconline] What's the weather like down in Crewe/Nantwich??
[petertel] I dont know I only live in Nantwich now
[petertel] Bl**dy freezing
[cufconline] Ha ha it's sub tropical in Carlisle
[petertel] But its only till December 20th , im off to the States
kynson> We were just commenting that it was Knighton talking again that has
- made it so balmy here
[cufconline] We've equalled our record of five in the chatroom BTW!
kynson> Woo-hoo !-)
[petertel] I didnt send any captions for the photo
kynson> Maybe we'll set a new record today
[dcumbrian] Still planning a midweek session?
[petertel] What record
[cufconline] I'll have to ask Mick Mitchell if he might like to appear in
- here
kynson> well, the caption competition is still open until the end of the
- month. The winner gets a pint from me in The Page!
[cufconline] I'll have to give you another Knighton pic for the competition
- Dave
kynson> The record for chtroom attendees.
[Linsey7] I won't bother entering then!
kynson> Ooh, a good one ?-)
[cufconline] Dont worry Lin - have a virtual lemonade in here!
[petertel] MK's new spokesman is the Captain of the Titanic " Where the
- f**kis that water coming from"
kynson> Why not, Linsey? you could always have a trip down.
kynson> Nice one peter.
[Linsey7] i'm only 15!
kynson> Ah!
[petertel] sweet 15
[Linsey7] 16 on Thursday though!
kynson> Well, I could make it a soft drink in the East Stand then
[cufconline] Happy birthday Lin!
kynson> Happy B'day
[Linsey7] ok
[Linsey7] thanks!
[Linsey7] We've got Rangers on Sat
[Linsey7] (aberdeen)
[cufconline] Tough one!
[Linsey7] I know
[cufconline] We lost 2-1 to them in a friendly this season
[Linsey7] When was that?
[Linsey7] summer?
kynson> Pre season
[Linsey7] We were rubbish yesterday even though we won
[cufconline] We were rubbish too and we lost :)
[dcumbrian] settle for the points
kynson> Anyone, when do the chatlogs appear?
[petertel] I suppose its too late to talk about yesterdays game?
kynson> No, it was crap though
[cufconline] BTW - I've been logging this and a whole chunk disappeared!
kynson> I noticed that!
[cufconline] Can you copy & paste back before Pete's arrival ??
[petertel] MK earth tremor maybe
kynson> I've missed a bit as well, which was why I was asking.
[cufconline] Oh well - it may be lost forever that bit :)
[petertel] Dont worry I think I get the general idea
kynson> Cut and Paste? Hmm
kynson> petertel] I wondered if I was too late
kynson> No !-)
[petertel] DunnA WORRY
[petertel] Sorry I wasnt shouting
[Linsey7] Heard of Eoin Jess?
[Linsey7] probably!
kynson> You can check out the transcript later.
[cufconline] The chat log gives ppl a feel for what's going on, thats all
[dcumbrian] match report in Yorkshire said keeper injured, and by the way
- halifax scored
[petertel] ]Used to play for Coventry
[Linsey7] yes, he was brilliant yesterday
[cufconline] Free kick to back post - Stoneman scored it - read my match
- report!
[petertel] Everyone says his name wrong
[cufconline] How do you pronounce it then?
kynson> It was a pointless freekick to give away - the man was going nowhere
[petertel] Like Ian I think
[Linsey7] Halifax scored late on didn't they?
kynson> 88?
[dcumbrian] was that in injury time?
[cufconline] 89 according to Sunday Sun
[cufconline] Stevens missed two golden chances as well..
[petertel] Glad I dont sponsor him anymore
kynson> Hmm, I think we've slagged him off a few times today !-)
[cufconline] Nobody does I notice!
kynson> How much was the sponsorship?
[dcumbrian] At least he gets into the positions
[petertel] last year it was £300 , this year i didnt ask
[cufconline] RU thinking what I'm thinking Dave ?
kynson> So do criminals, which is how he has been playing lately.
kynson> Aye, the IML could raise that!
[cufconline] We could get our name in the programme at least!
[petertel] ask daphne for details
[dcumbrian] how much do we each put in then?
kynson> Hmm, how would Knighton react? Ooh money, er critics......
[petertel] £2
kynson> £2 should cover it!
[cufconline] He'd just take the money happily :)
kynson> Ok, which player then?
[dcumbrian] and point out the other unsponcered players
[cufconline] £2 if you can get 150 people interested of course
[cufconline] Paul Boertien unsponsored Andy Couzens - perhaps not him :)
kynson> I'll just type in the unsponsored players - give me a minute...
[Linsey7] I know what it's like - Aberdeen are about to launch their 3rd
- share issue on Mon
[petertel] jnow youd be sponsoring some one who no one else wants
[petertel] Why not sponsor MK's kit
[Linsey7] Not that I buy any shares though!
[cufconline] Peter Clark-Stuart Whitehead-Will Varty-Paul Heritage as well
[petertel] No we dont buy them here either
[cufconline] Sponsor MK? Devil's advocate ??
kynson> Anthony, Bertien, Couzens, Dobie, Douglas, Heritage, Hopper,
- McGregor, McAlindon, Paterson, Prokas, Clark, Stevens, Varty, Whtehead
kynson> Some of those are away kit only
[petertel] £300 is for home and away
kynson> Ah!
[petertel] £200 home or away only
[dcumbrian] £1.00 then?
kynson> I vote for Weeeeel Varty
[Linsey7] Pounewatchy used to play for you didn't he?
kynson> Yes
[petertel] Where is Stephane now?
[cufconline] Seems to be without a club!
kynson> Good player at first, but he seemed to lose interest over time
[cufconline] Dundee & Port Vale ditched him!
[petertel] Last thing I heard he was down here at the Vale
[Linsey7] He was with Dundee and he injured one of our best players in the
- first game of the season
[cufconline] Typical Steph!
[petertel] He had rave reviews in the local rag
[petertel] I vote Mcgregor
[petertel] If he comes
kynson> Do you remember the Stockport AWS game when that guy had a go at him
- and Steph just looked at the Ref and waited for the guy to be booked ?-)
kynson> We could put it the vote with the IML.
[cufconline] Was that where he took off his gloves and threw them to the
- ground?
[dcumbrian] do we get the kit at the end of the season?
[petertel] At Stockport?
kynson> I think so.
kynson> At BP.
kynson> I went to the Stockport leg as well - read my write up, their
- organisation was appalling
[petertel] Ive got both my shirts here signed
[cufconline] Would you wash it - (the kit)?
kynson> We could auction the kit off to the list!
[petertel] Yes I got over from Spain to see it
[cufconline] Who'd get the money?
[petertel] I got a seat , lost Steve Smith and his Mrs in the crowd
kynson> It could pay for the folliwing season's sponsorship
[Linsey7] I got my new shirt signed at the start of the season - bad idea!!
kynson> what did you think of it Peter?
[cufconline] Yes - probably - if somebody wanted to pay £150 for it!
[petertel] This year,s kit or what
kynson> At least it would reduce the cost.
[petertel] could give it to charity
[petertel] But not MK
kynson> A good idea - we could ask the club to raffle it.
[cufconline] Isn't MK a charity?
kynson> No, a charity case.
[cufconline] A head case :)
[dcumbrian] raffle it at the end of season do if they have one
[petertel] A wet head case
[petertel] See photo
kynson> A wet one - useful for wiping nasty things off your hands ;-)
[petertel] alledgedly
kynson> Thanks Peter :-)
kynson> Wow another record - it's gone 12:00 !-)
[petertel] could give it to one of the charity shops to help them raise
- money
kynson> Or the Player's benevolant fund ?
[petertel] who owns that?
[petertel] im suspicious
[cufconline] Aren't most players rolling in money ?
[cufconline] Auction it off for (next year's) Children in Need
[petertel] youd think so
kynson> Yeah, but it's for the one's who have their career cut short, but
- you are right there are better causes.
kynson> I think there are some good ideas here....
[petertel] get some publicity for the mailing list , good publicity
[cufconline] Best to put these ideas to the ML
[dcumbrian] we not all cynical b**** then
kynson> I wonder if there is a reduced sponsorship rate because we are part
- way through the season?
[petertel] i doubt it
kynson> I am off tomorrow - I'll ask at the club.
[dcumbrian] what are your ideas linsey?
[Linsey7] I think you should raffle it off to the list
[Linsey7] there's no way I'd be able to bid £150!!
kynson> would anyone?
[cufconline] You could bid £15 for a sleeve!
[petertel] 2nd prize an aberdeen shirt , 3rd prize two aberdeen shirts
[Linsey7] good question!
kynson> Ooh! Bitchy!
[petertel] sorry
[Linsey7] very funny!
kynson> It's OK !-)
[cufconline] Are we all on friends & familty BTW?
[dcumbrian] i bid (and got) a rugby league shirt for the step daughter - she
- wouldn't wash it and we had to keep it in a sealed plastic bag
kynson> Yes, my modem is my Best Friend :-(
[cufconline] Just working out this phone bill...
[cufconline] sad isnt it ??
kynson> 58p so far.
kynson> Yes, it is :-(
[cufconline] After discount I take it ??
[petertel] sell the raffle tickest outside the ground , free ticket with
- every fanzine
kynson> No, just on my call calculator.
[dcumbrian] I never see fanzines near the ground
kynson> We don't have a paper version, but perhaps we could collaborate with
- one of them.
[cufconline] The club shop sell Hit the Bar sometimes..
[petertel] ok ladies , gents and others im on my way
kynson> Seeya Peter.
[cufconline] See ya Pete!

kynson> And then there were 4......
[cufconline] Three now - gotta go people!
[Linsey7] me too
[cufconline] Ta ra!
kynson> So is it OK with everyone if I speak to the club about sponsorship
- tomorrow?
[Linsey7] bye

kynson> Ok, is this a wrap for today then?
[cufconline] Yep!!
[dcumbrian] yeah I'm for it
