The topic is: Carlisle United
kynson> Kosh, what am I doing up at this time ?!
[cufconline] Yo!
[cufconline] Wipe the sleep from your eyes, young man!
kynson> It is way too early at the moment for my brain to work properly
[cufconline] Got to sleep after midnight last night - listened to a bit of
- t' cricket
kynson> 03:00 and I was watching MTV - I got to sleep at about 04:00
[cufconline] So a normal night's sleep for you, then ?
kynson> Ooh :-)
[cufconline] I wonder if Mcgregor's crocked again ??
kynson> We had our Ibiza Revival Weekend, Thursday and Friday at Buskers,
- Saturday at the Page
kynson> I don't know, it was a bit strange taking him off.
[cufconline] Good time had by all ?
kynson> Aye :-)
[cufconline] I thought he may have done his hamstring again...
kynson> He seemed to be walking OK, though
[cufconline] Bloke next to me thought it might have been his ankle
kynson> Caig was brilliant yesterday, kept us in it
[cufconline] Yes - Man of the Match for me - not Rob Bowman
kynson> Rob Scott-Buccleuch sits next to me and we both thought the same
[cufconline] Its better than nothing holding the top scoring team to 0-0 I
- s'pose
kynson> points on the board, after all. We wondered why Caig never gets MotM
- and I think it is that goalies are largely ignored by most observers.
kynson> Think of Scheichel, for me he holds Man U together, but it is always
- their outfield players who get the exposure
[cufconline] True - I think they put a blindfold on the bloke who selects
- MotM at BP and he just sticks a pin in :)
kynson> Schmeichel - sorry, typo :-)
[cufconline] So to speak :)
[cufconline] You noticed the warning above the chatroom ?
kynson> Aye, could you put in a link to my archive though ?
[cufconline] Yes - I'll do that. I was only going to keep the previous
- week's log on my site. I'll put a link into the archives
kynson> Thanks.  I see that we have 29 signed up for kit sponsorship :-)
[cufconline] Had a look at it when there were 24 - think that should do it -
- just over fiver each
kynson> Even if we say £5 each, we should be able to negotiate 2 kits at
- £290 for the rest of the season.
[cufconline] Pity they don't put the sponsor name on the back of the shirt
- like with Olga ...
kynson> Damn - I mean £145
[cufconline] Assuming Knighton is willing to be flexible :)
kynson> Aye, but it would look a bit weird - The Internet Mailing List !-)
[cufconline] Nothin' wrong with that ??
kynson> Just a long name, that's all.  I imagine that they will agree -
- anything for the extra sponsors.
kynson> I think everyone else must be hungover as well today :-)
[cufconline] I don't expect Eddie Stobart would be too happy with kit
- sponsor names on the back
kynson> No, not with how much he pays in comparison to us.
[cufconline] I think we may have frightened off ChrisMc after his
- allegations last week
kynson> I was thinking - the end of year dinner where the sponsors go -
- we'll have to work out some way to decide which of us goes. All the names of
- those who would like to go in a hat and get Knighton to draw out two names?
kynson> No, I think Chris will be back.
[cufconline] It would need to be somebody close to Carlisle I suppose (or is
- it two people who go?)
kynson> Peter Telford said two go per kit sponsored.
[cufconline] So assuming we get two kits at half price we can send two
- people
kynson> I would think so, mind you, with only 29 sponsors, maybe they'll let
- us all go :-)
[cufconline] They could probably hold the dinner in a telephone box
kynson> Ooh :-)   It will be a bit light this year, looking in the
- programme.
[cufconline] Sponsors only want to be associated with a winning team, really
kynson> Aye, but there is the old saying that all publicity is good
- publicity.
[cufconline] True - but in the promotion seasons all the kits seemed to be
- taken up quickly
[cufconline] Just looked at email - RSB says same as you about Caig
kynson> Yep. It is interesting that we have only had the chatroom going for
- a few weeks and it produced a couple of good ideas and chats from only a few
- people
kynson> Does he? I hadn't read what has come in yet. I got up at 10:50, got
- a drink and sat down at the computer !-)
[cufconline] Quiet week for the ML - true we have had some good chats
>> dcumbrian has joined channel #XC.1228116
kynson> I just went for another drink. I am surprised laddo next door isn't
- up yet.
[cufconline] Hello here's the mysterious dcumbrian :)
kynson> Hi DC :-)
[dcumbrian] Hi folks just adjustying my screen to avoid the ads
[cufconline] Late again - tch tch
[dcumbrian] yeah, was walking last week and recovering from the drive this
- week
[dcumbrian] views on the game?
[cufconline] Not great
[dcumbrian] that was mild!
kynson> We did OK, on balance. I would have taken a draw if it was offered.
[cufconline] Knighton says he thought the ball was over the line in first
- minute from Mendes
[dcumbrian] thought they (rots) were gonna nock it at the end
[cufconline] How he could see I don't know ..
[cufconline] nick it ??
kynson> dcumbrian, have you seen the transcripts page? I haven't got your
- real name, so if you are willing to divulge.....
[dcumbrian] No I havn't, Name is Dave Burns born Whitehaven, living in
- Sheffield
kynson> Hi there :-)
[cufconline] Yo Davey B!
[dcumbrian] Whats the latest on sponsership
[cufconline] 29 signed up
kynson> the transcripts are at
- http://www.kynson.org.uk/RIOA/chat/
[dcumbrian] 1 more to go then (I'll pay extra if needed)
kynson> We were saying that 29 will probably be enough, we should be able to
- negotiate two kits for the rest of the season from it.
[cufconline] Fiver each - might get two kits for the price of one seeing as
- season is half over
[dcumbrian] I'll read the transcripts after this session
[dcumbrian] Looked at the list the other day, Clark seemed to be fave
[cufconline] I voted McGregor #1 - but he looks to be crocked again
kynson> I get them up fairly quick, so this one will be up an hour or so
- after we finish, provided Al and I don't say anything untoward this week ;-)
[cufconline] Lips sealed :)

kynson> Hello?
[dcumbrian] Is that why McGreg went off, thought he was just tired
>> swizz has joined channel #XC.1228116
kynson> Swizz?
[cufconline] Tired after 30 mins ? Hope not!
[swizz] Type mark ward
[dcumbrian] New member?
[swizz] no
[dcumbrian] HI Mark
kynson> Mark - did you go to Braithwaite School?
[cufconline] Mark Ward from Dorset??
[swizz] no morton
[swizz] yes
kynson> Ah - another Mark Ward.
[cufconline] Trinity School
[swizz] how are you phil
[cufconline] Phil ain't here
[dcumbrian] Does Phil write for computer mags?
kynson> No, I think he does IT Support though.
[cufconline] I dunno - there's a Dave Atkinson writes for Internet magazine
- I think
kynson> I know - Spooky ?-)
[swizz] anyone at the game yesterday ?
kynson> Aye - a fair result
[cufconline] Yes - it wasn't too hot though
kynson> Caig made 3 or 4 great saves to keep us in it.
[swizz] was mendes shot over the line
kynson> Hard to say, I think not though.
[cufconline] MK thought so according to press reports
[dcumbrian] Didn't think so
[dcumbrian] but I was on the half way line
kynson> The linesman was in a good position, only 3 or 4 yards from the goal
- line
[swizz] did caig get mom
[cufconline] Bowman was awarded MotM but we thought Caig should have had it
[cufconline] Sunday Sun gave it to Caig
[dcumbrian] Good save from Scott, it would have been a choker
kynson> We were wondering why Caig never seems to get it at the club.
[swizz] do you think mcgregor was fit enough to start
kynson> Scott lost the plot a bit and the Carlisle fans got on his back.
- There were chants of "where's your agent now?"
[dcumbrian] Suppose keepers shouldn't get it at home games
[cufconline] Possibly not - didnt seem injured when he came off
[cufconline] Scott got booked - suggested to the linesman  that he needed
- specs :)
kynson> Hee-Hee :-)
[swizz] a heard scott signed for the same money we offered him
[dcumbrian] Still would like him with us
[cufconline] Yep - hence the mild abuse at BP
kynson> Well if someone else is willing to pay....
[dcumbrian] Menzes looked ok if we give him the ball in space
[swizz] anything develop with knightons slanging match with the crowd last
- week
[dcumbrian] and put someone up front that can head the ball
kynson> What slanging match?
[cufconline] Isnt there always a slanging match??
[dcumbrian] more than usual??

[cufconline] Schizophrenia will get you nowhere :)
kynson> I spawned a second browser session !-)

[swizz] apparantly he had right 2 and 8 with someone sat behind the
- directors seats in c stand
>> kynson2 has left channel #XC.1228116
kynson> Is it worth it?
[cufconline] Has anybody tried the "Private Chat" option yet??
[dcumbrian] funny thing been football owner, no-one tells the local cinema
- what to show
kynson> No - what does it do?
[dcumbrian] can we all come??
[PRIVATE FROM cufconline] This is a private chat with kynson only - can
- anyone else see this ??
kynson> No Only I can see it Al, did everyone see my reply?
[swizz] what reply
[dcumbrian] what question, what reply
[PRIVATE FROM cufconline] I dont know if it works both ways you may need to
- select me for a private chat too
TO cufconline> Private, you selected.
[PRIVATE FROM cufconline] It obviously works from me to you, Dave
[swizz] anyone going to the london branch xmas bash
kynson> Al and I were just trying the Private Chat - it seems to work
[dcumbrian] no, too far
kynson> We should have our own in Carlisle!
TO cufconline> Now we can slag off DA to ouyr heart's content !-)
[dcumbrian] did the private chat get logged?
kynson> I don't know about with Xoom, but I cut and paste it to Wordpad and
- then create the logs from that.
[cufconline] Only if I decide to log it , or Dave does :)
[cufconline] I dont think XOOM log chats - not certain though
[dcumbrian] where does everyone stand/sit in the ground
kynson> I'll include it in the log so you can see that we weren't slagging
- you all off !-)
[dcumbrian] We trust you
[swizz] any news on our attempts to sponsor a player
kynson> I'm in east Stand, Z99, which is at the back, beside the away fans.
[cufconline] East Stand J 151
[dcumbrian] whats it like in there
[cufconline] Sit next to a bloke who always slags off the ref
kynson> We were saying that we have 29 which, with a bit of negotation,
- should be enough for two kits for the rest of the season.
[dcumbrian] I stand in front of a guy that must do caberet at furnerals
kynson> I like the East Stand, a good view from the back, akthough you
- occasionally get eejutts who wind up the away fans too much.
[swizz] considering the size of the list now i'm suprised more people have
- not pledged a fiver
[cufconline] Yeah - tight b******s!
kynson> There was a split about whether Knighton deserves the money or not.
[cufconline] I blame it on Cumbrian apathy
[dcumbrian] Understand overseas but disappoint with people this side
- (everyone to their own though)
kynson> Plus it was harder for someone to pledge from abroad.
[swizz] i think the list is suffering from the blues :-)
[dcumbrian] anyone goin to Hull
[swizz] that game has got away win written all over it
kynson> No - I think the only away match I'll get to this year is Brighton
- and Hove.
[dcumbrian] not in the Sunday papers - forecast home
[swizz] what do they know
kynson> What does everyone think about meeting up for a drink in Carlisle -
- possibly after a Saturday match?
[dcumbrian] remember Hull have new mamager
kynson> Exeter City on 2 Jan ?-)
[dcumbrian] like the idea if I'm staying for the weekend
[cufconline] Exeter game could be off because of FA Cup
kynson> Ah !-)
kynson> How about Cambridge on 28 Dec ?
[swizz] anyone seen the forecasts that the nationwide site provides what a
- load off b******s
[cufconline] Cambridge Dec 28th - I'd be up for it
[dcumbrian] will have to see
[cufconline] Somebody called Dr Fox does predictions on Usenet - often quite
- accurate

[cufconline] Cambridge fans not too dangerous all students probably
[swizz] i heard the beehive has been transformed
[swizz] into a plastic plant pub

kynson> Hah !-) I've not been in since they did it out.

- room !-)
kynson> Wenter??? enter!!!!
