[cufconline] Yo!
kynson> Greetings
[perthblue] G`day
[perthblue] Icouldn`t get on last night
kynson> Wnat the Sunday Sun report?
[cufconline] Which Blue is Perth Blue?
[perthblue] Steve Graham
[cufconline] Aha
kynson> If they are honest they'll be happy to finish all-square. They played
- well in patches without ever reaching Orint's overall standard, had the
- benefit of some controversial refereeing decisions and had keeper Tony Caig
- to thank for a point they barely deserved.
[perthblue] Yes please Dave
kynson> Stuart Hicks looked to have won the ball cleanly to concede a corner
- as Steve Finney fell, but York referee Matt Messias pointed to the penalty
- spot and Finney put Carlisle in front.
kynson> Pearson : "I thought they had a good shout for a handball inside our
- box in the second-half. Tony Caig was tremendous again. They put us under a
- lot of pressure and we never really got to grips with the game. I suppose you
- could say we were hanging on.
[cufconline] Was ours a penalty? I thought it was a fair decision
TO cufconline> Al, will you be able to commentate on Tuesday? I have "another
- engagement".
[PRIVATE FROM cufconline] Should be able to, Dave
[perthblue] Why do you think we play better away?
kynson> Personally, as I said on the IML, I thought Hicks got the ball and
- finney "fell" over his legs.
[PRIVATE FROM cufconline] Have to bone up on the shorthand, though :)
TO cufconline> :-)
[cufconline] I think Pearson has us playing well defensively, which works
- well in away games when we play deeper
kynson> away fans always seem to make more noise than home fans, maybe this
- is a factor.
>> MFAW has joined channel #XC.1228116
kynson> Malc :-)
[cufconline] True. The BP "roar" is sometimes more of a wimper :(
[MFAW] Hi Guys
kynson> I try my best to get the lads near me going. I am their "prompt"
[cufconline] Hey Malc, who writes the London Branch column that appears in
- the programmes?
kynson> However, I usually feel a bit rough on Saturdays because friday night
- is my "night out" night.
[MFAW] Ian Jardine our Chairman
[cufconline] Aha
[cufconline] Who's that loud bugger who sites 10 rows behind me - he seems
- like the "prompt" for the whole East Stand
[perthblue] How many were at the game? was it cold?
[cufconline] 2,794 and yes
kynson> It was f.........freeeeezing....
[perthblue] I see
[cufconline] I actually got wet - sitting 15 rows back!!
kynson> I was on the back row and some of it got to me on occasion!!!!
[MFAW] I had the misfortune to go to Spurs yesterday . Nice ground, lots of
- fans, but no atmosphere.
kynson> "We're only second division!!"
kynson> wow, was that a night
[cufconline] Not just BP then - perhaps we need a band of our own like Sheff
- Wed's??
[perthblue] Do you think our `hardcore`support will fall any lower?
kynson> I don't think so, I think we may have turned the corner now
[MFAW] Not if we get some results
[cufconline] I think we've already reached the low point - 2,500 regulars
kynson> The Warwick was still open yesterday, so it looks like that rumour
- has been scotched
[MFAW] There was a good showing at Brentford.  London Branch members crawling
- out of the woodwork from all angles
kynson> Hey, that was another thing. We played a southern team and they
- _didn't_ chant "your jocks and you know you are" at us!
kynson> er, "you're jocks...." :-(
[MFAW] Brentford had a chant of 'England, England'!
[cufconline] Some of our followers are jocks, though :-)
kynson> Aye, there are laddie.
[cufconline] Och aye hoots mon
kynson> (my grandmother was from dumfries)
[perthblue] Will the `missing` supporters forgive Knighton if we get a
- winning team?
kynson> ye
[cufconline] I thought the "missing" would be back once Knighton quit, but it
- seems most are waiting to see if we start winning again
kynson> perhaps we could persuade one of the "missing" to do home
- commentaries.
[cufconline] How many "missing" are on the ML anyway, most of the members
- live outside Cumbria
[MFAW] Listening to Lacey is probably a worse torture than going to the
- match!
kynson> i don't know if there are any, I think a qualification of being on
- the IML is to be a die hard!
kynson> Hmm, he may read this, malc!
[perthblue] I take it He`s a poor commentator?
kynson> It is a hard job to commentate, but most of the time with Lacey you
- don't know where the action is
[cufconline] I read an article by a QPR fans in the Times yesterday - he was
- going on about how "watching" an away game on Ceefax is agony and that the
- radio never covers his games well. Pity he hasn't heard of Chat rooms like
- ours!
kynson> and then sometimes he is just whittering instead of commentating.
[perthblue] When I lived in Carlisle it was Len Brewer
[cufconline] He's still on R Cumbria, I believe
kynson> al, send a letter to the Times !-)
[perthblue] Shit He`s still alive then
>> paulclements has joined channel #XC.1228116
[cufconline] It's Graham Moss, Paul Newton, Lacey and Graham Liver?? Nick
- Barnes hasn't been replaced IMO
kynson> hi Paul
[paulclements] how do
kynson> (no more jokes about the scots.....)
[cufconline] 5-1 5-1 5-1
[paulclements] 1-5 surely
[cufconline] Sorry 1-5 1-5 1-5
[paulclements] thats better
kynson> Paul, Al was just saying about a fan's letter to the Times
- complaining about "watching" a match on teletext.
[cufconline] Reds-Watch : They drew 1-1 at Newcastle
[paulclements] eh ?
[paulclements] eh ?
kynson> He said it was agony and the radio is no better
[cufconline] Newcastle Town, that is
[paulclements] eh ?
[cufconline] Workington Reds, that is
[paulclements] ah.....The Reds
kynson> I said Al should write to the Times about our little corner of the
- Internet on match days.
[paulclements] NO MORE ACRONYMS
kynson> why??
kynson> they are 2fun"
[cufconline] Sorry I started that one off are you?
kynson> they are "fun"
[paulclements] coz they are getting more and more bizzare....
[cufconline] I'll tell you my anagram of Michael Knighton if you want
kynson> I am thinking of adding them to my site for march, or maybe the
- cufcisc .... ?
[paulclements] some seem to only work if you miss out 'ands' and 'the' and
- 'ifs'
[MFAW] I enjoyed the acronyms at least they kept me busy at work for an
- afternoon
[cufconline] MIGHT HACK ONLINE
[paulclements] who is mho
kynson> eh?
[cufconline] Anagram, not acronym
kynson> oh, one of the Marx brothers...
[perthblue] Good one
[paulclements] eh ?
[paulclements] never mind that....what happened yesterday...another 2 points
- down the bog
kynson> No, we were lucky. I'll just repost the Sunday Sun report.
kynson> If they are honest they'll be happy to finish all-square. They played
- well in patches without ever reaching Orint's overall standard, had the
- benefit of some controversial refereeing decisions and had keeper Tony Caig
- to thank for a point they barely deserved.
kynson> Stuart Hicks looked to have won the ball cleanly to concede a corner
- as Steve Finney fell, but York referee Matt Messias pointed to the penalty

kynson> Pearson : "I thought they had a good shout for a handball inside our
- box in the second-half. Tony Caig was tremendous again. They put us under a
- lot of pressure and we never really got to grips with the game. I suppose you
- could say we were hanging on.
[paulclements] Sounds like a load of shite
[perthblue] Will Caig move on soon?
kynson> I hope no
[cufconline] It was a good game though -end to end stuff
[paulclements] Even Hull put the Brentfird result into perspective
[cufconline] Another heavy pitch - it always does for our midfield, esp.
- Couzens
[MFAW] I was in Peterlee on Thursday interviewing Peter Beardsley for Hit the
- Bar.  He still wants to come back to Carlisle.
kynson> Aye, it was exciting to watch, although i was feeling a bit rough and
- my attention wandered occasionally. Mainly to the female steward sat down
- from me.
[paulclements] Their is a feeling on the mailing list and on here of meek
- acceptance....why are people not getting angry ?
[cufconline] Still, Scarborough look to be new favourites for the drop - now
- they've lost Mick
[cufconline] Female stewards - a welcome development :)
kynson> we're Cumbrian, we don't get mad, we get lethargic
kynson> and apthetic
[cufconline] Is that what Peter told you? Mind you he's always said that
kynson> and apathetic as well
[perthblue] Do any of you know why Beardsley didn`t come,really?
kynson> rumours about the wife.....
[paulclements] ......?
[cufconline] Officially he didnt come because we withdrew the offer to him
[MFAW] He said that Fuller told him the deal was off before the deadline he
- had agreed with Pearson
kynson> I don't want to expand on the wife rumours in public....
[perthblue] But that sounds suss
[cufconline] A very old rumour - going back to his Liverpool days
kynson> yes
[cufconline] I've never believed it
[paulclements] give it to us in commentary shorthand
kynson> I've had my doubts, but.....
kynson> Beardsley pf, s, scores
[cufconline] Ermmm?  Bit tricky unless we invent a new shorthand system
[cufconline] But that's close enough
[cufconline] Dalglish x
kynson> Own goaL !!!
[cufconline] Allegedly.
kynson> yes, alledgedly
[perthblue] He would have given the club a boost though
kynson> without the d
kynson> aye.
[MFAW] Beardsley spoke highly of Dalglish throughout.  I doubt if it was ever
- true.
[cufconline] He doesnt seem to have boosted 'Pools crowds much, though
[paulclements] are to trying to say dalglish was giving his mrs one ...?
kynson> no.
[cufconline] Not quite
[paulclements] what are you saying then /
kynson> erm....
[cufconline] Errm reverse it a bit
[paulclements] was dalglish giving beardsley one
[MFAW] PB said that he would only have needed to add 500 to the crowd to pay
- his wages and that more than that are going to Pools
kynson> yes :-)
[paulclements] what does it matter.....dalglish has nothing to do with
- carlisle ?
kynson> What was the chat room like yesterday?
>> MFAW has left channel #XC.1228116
[cufconline] Hartlepool only got 2,374 yesterday - about the same as they
- normally get
kynson> Damn, I drove malc away again!
[paulclements] we got 890
[cufconline] In the chat room???? - oh sorry at Stirling I see
[paulclements] tee hee
[perthblue] Is that the Falkirk fan?
[cufconline] What's the Stirling ground like compared to BP?
[paulclements] no Stirling albion
[paulclements] small....
kynson> just imagine if al sent a letter to the times and the next week we
- had a capacity crowd of 25 in the chat room !
[paulclements] capacity of 4,000....rarely get more than 1200
[cufconline] I can't see the Times publishing my letter - it might get a
- mention in this chap's column next week possibly
kynson> Well if they shut the warwick and PAddock we would have a 8000
- all-seater stadium!
[perthblue] Oh Stirling Albion,I used to know a supporter of theirs,he was a
- real nutter
[paulclements] perthblue ???....is that chezz
kynson> Al, have you contacted the guy then?
[cufconline] I'll drop the Times an email and see what happens - actually I
- only read it at my folks house - I'm a Guardian man
>> MFAW has joined channel #XC.1228116
[paulclements] don't you mean the guadrnain
[perthblue] Cheryl won`t type for me anymore,so I`m doing it meself!
[paulclements] ah
kynson> Grauniad
[MFAW] I got thrown out there for a while.  By the way I couldn't access the
- chatroom through Alastair's website
[cufconline] I think if you bought it nowadays there are no spelling
- mishtakes
[paulclements] neither could i......
[cufconline] That was in t'old days before computers and such like
kynson> When i started at Uni they had a promotion on with window stickers -
- "wake up with a friend - The Guardian"
[paulclements] Al's website couldn't be accessed...I had to use the direct
- link to here
[cufconline] Sorry - looks like my domain is not responding at the moment -
- the old URL still works though
[MFAW] I've got to go for my breakfast now.  I'll speak to you soon. Bye.
>> MFAW has left channel #XC.1228116
[cufconline] http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/a.woodcock/
[perthblue] Was that Malcolm from London supporters club?
[paulclements] Al...how do you set ine of these rooms up ?
kynson> One of the other things I thought of for www.cufc.com is that we
- should use short directory names - my
- www.kynson.org.uk/RIOA/ must be a nightmare for
- anyone the first time they type it in!  I usually now just give people
- www.kynson.org.uk
[cufconline] To set up a room - surf to www.xoom.com and join up. Then follow
- the link to create a chat room
kynson> We may need to find another larger service next year if we get any
- "big" games.
[PRIVATE FROM cufconline] You just copy a line or two of HTML into your
- chosen chat page like on this one
TO cufconline> huh?
[paulclements] BIG GAME.....

cufconline> I think he comes from Carlisle if it was him you meant
[Cyprochris] my new pc should have been here this weekend
[Cyprochris] Who is that bloke from newbury then - or is it basingstoke?
cufconline> Should make chatting online a lot easier...
[Cyprochris] too right
cufconline> Perhaps you mean David Nicholson - management consultant - I had
- an email from him
[Cyprochris] Have you spoken to Xoom about their cutting us off all the
- time?
[Cyprochris] what did it say?
cufconline> He just filled in my visitors survey IIRC
[Cyprochris] the email i mean
cufconline> When someone fills in my survey I get an email back - sorry to
- mislead you
[Cyprochris] no prob
[Cyprochris] pauls gone quiet - he musrt be dead
cufconline> I'm not sure the problem is down to XOOM
cufconline> I don't get cut off - I used to get a Win95 box up asking if I
- wanted to log off - if you are typing when it appears it can knock you off
[Cyprochris] nly joking what else could it be?
cufconline> Have to check my DUN configuration and see if it is set up in

[Cyprochris] i dont get a box - it just kicks me off and yesterday i couldnt
- get on again - said it could not find applechat
cufconline> Did you try re-loading the page?
[Cyprochris] I rebooted the pc and it still said the same thing
cufconline> Shit - that was my fault!
[Cyprochris] what was?
cufconline> I got logged off there
[Cyprochris] bfbs covering the rugby?
cufconline> I inadvertently re-loaded the page
cufconline> bfbs?
[Cyprochris] or was it your fault that brentford lost v Hull - a home banker
- for one of my perms
cufconline> Makes our result against them seem pretty ordinary
[Cyprochris] British Forces Broadcasting Service
cufconline> Still, Scarborough looke like faves for the drop now
[Cyprochris] TV on Saturday is Grandstand and Radion is 5 live - not too bad
- really
cufconline> I watched Scot-Wales 2nd half yesterday - pretty good game for a
- celtic clash :)
[Cyprochris] so was it your fault i ciould not get back on yesterday (im
- confused now)?
cufconline> Not my fault - I have set up the room correctly - it might be
- XOOM going down or your browser or lack of memory or who knows??
[Cyprochris] hellooo
[Cyprochris] but loads of us have probs in there
cufconline> Hopefully XOOM may upgrade the server and chat software one day
cufconline> They claim to have nearly 6 million members
[Cyprochris] Is there anybody else who run a similaer srvice?
cufconline> Check it out when you have your new Pentium - then decide
- whether it might be running it on a slow machine
[Cyprochris] true
cufconline> I havent heard of one
[Cyprochris] do you maintain a network for a living?
cufconline> There are plenty of chat rooms - but most are run by
- Yahoo/AOL/whoever... not privately
cufconline> I maintain a Netware/NT network with about 20 users
[Cyprochris] aol do a system where you can set up private rooms, but im not
- sure if you have to be a member
cufconline> We're just about to get an Internet connection - bloody slow
- aren't we?
[Cyprochris] I want to do that on leaving the RAF - any advice
cufconline> I tend to mistrust anything by AOL - still I'm sure chat rooms
- will improve because so many people use them
cufconline> I was saying to Dave that I think I could set up more rooms on
- XOOM - need to check though
cufconline> Anyway I've got to go now - hope to see you on Tuesday Chris
[Cyprochris] Aols Instant Messenger system is superb.  I keep in touch with
- family using it - you ought to try it
cufconline> Will give it a go Chris - see you!
[Cyprochris] SImilar to this but you have to talk to one at a time, =but you
- can open separate windows to talk to several people
