[kynson] Greetings :-)

cufconline> Hi there Dave :-)

[kynson] Unbelievable - a win !-)

cufconline> I noticed your analysis of our passing ability on the list

[kynson] Aye, depressing, isn't it? play-offs here we come !-)

cufconline> Just another 32 points in what? 13 games? No sweat!

[kynson] Easy peasy !-)

cufconline> What did you think of Mr Bridge-Wilkinson ?

[kynson] Well, a good little player, some good passing and positioning, but

- a bit too willling to have a shot from distance.

cufconline> Chap next to me was shouting for him to be taken off after those

- poor crosses..

[kynson] Aye, you could see what he was trying to do, curl it back into the

- onboming players, but they kept going straight instead - straight to the

- 'keeper, in fact !-(

cufconline> I believe there was a commentary in here yesterday - never seems

- to be any logs kept, though :(

[kynson] I know !-(    I have set up kynson.org.uk as well now, and

- was wondering about doing like you have done with www.cufconline.org.uk.

- What were the details?

>> Perthblue has joined channel #XC.1228116

[kynson] Yo Steve :-)

[Perthblue] Hiya men

[Perthblue] A win at home!

[kynson] I know !-)

[kynson] and two goals !

TO kynson> Go to www.netnames.co.uk and check their current prices for

- domains, forwarding etc

[Perthblue] So who scored?

[kynson] by the same man !

[kynson] Dobie, both.

cufconline> Dobster for England !!

[Perthblue] Were we behind?

[PRIVATE FROM kynson] thanks

cufconline> The Shrews fans were having a go at Caigy with "dodgy keeper"

- chants

[PRIVATE FROM kynson] yes, their fans were getting cocky when they went 1-0

- up

[kynson] yes, their fans were getting cocky when they went 1-0 up

cufconline> Caigy made the best save of the game, mind from their buy

- Kerrigan

[Perthblue] Were we worth the win?

[kynson] Caig pulled off a few good saves and our fans chanted "England's

- number 1"

cufconline> I would say so

[kynson] Yes

cufconline> Just didn't look like we were gonna break through until

- Anthony's cross and Dobster's header

[Perthblue] How did the other results go?

cufconline> Hartlepool 1-1 Hull 0-0

cufconline> Scarboro called off

[Perthblue] When did we score our second goal?

cufconline> Now 20th with 38 pts, 10 ahead of Scarboro, who have 1 game in

- hand

cufconline> 85 mins

[kynson] If we can get a few good results in a row, it will do the

- confidence the world of good

[Perthblue] Shit

cufconline> I thought last week we needed 45 pts to be safe - might even be

- as many as 50?

[Perthblue] Why do not many of the list members log on to the chatroom?

>> paulclements has joined channel #XC.1228116

cufconline> Could be Sunday morning isn't best time for them?? Maybe some

- don't "do the web" much?

[kynson] Morning Paul. We live for the One, we die for the One.

[paulclements] how do

[Perthblue] Hi Paul

[kynson] i sometime struggle to make it for 11:00 if I have had a heavy

- night out.

[paulclements] what was up last week.....I got some message about an

- imposter chat room ?

[kynson] Did you log in via Al's .org.uk?

[paulclements] what

[paulclements] I just tried to connect as normal

[paulclements] via cufconline

cufconline> You can log in from any page with the correct code on it, but

- you may get a warning :)

cufconline> For instance, you could store this page on your own HD and it

- would still work I think

[paulclements] whatwas this geezer with the long name like

cufconline> Pretty good first half but faded a bit

[kynson] Excellent.

[paulclements] what is he...who is he...

cufconline> Two good passes to set up Stevo in opening 5 mins and some neat

- touches

[kynson] I would only fault him on his crossing and attempting to score from

- well outside the area.

[Perthblue] Are you guys in the u.k. charged by the minute for internet ?

[paulclements] is he a winger

[kynson] Attacking right sided midfielder. ish.

cufconline> First double-barrelled player to play for Blues I would have

- thought ?

[paulclements] aye

[paulclements] 1p

cufconline> 0.8p a min for me on BT Best Friend ;-)

[paulclements] me too

[kynson] ditto, my best friend is my modem :-(

[paulclements] sad isn't it

[kynson] very :-(

cufconline> It's actually my ISP who is my best friend, I talk to him/her/it

- every day....

[paulclements] Why are we playing Barnet on a Tuesday....is it a rearranged

- game

[kynson] I was just mentioning to al that I was thinking of setting up a

- domain name with kynson.

[kynson] I don't think it is rearranged.

[paulclements] #

cufconline> No - not re-arranged. correct Dave

[paulclements] I'll probably nip in for the second half.....

cufconline> Long way to go on a Tues.night though - should be good LB

- turnout hopefully

[paulclements] i look forward to daves commentary...especially if the gezzer

- with the long name is involved a lot

[kynson] Hope so, maybe we will have a "capacity crowd" for the commentary

- !-)

cufconline> Br-Wilko B-W perhaps?

[kynson] Hmm, maybe call him b-w

[paulclements] is he going to sign ?

[paulclements] will he be part of a dobie/boertien deal

cufconline> Possibly - but I doubt we'll get him frankly

[kynson] I think it is a case of them wanting to give him first team action.

- I doubt that we will keep him beyond the end of the season

[paulclements] btw....is Scott Dobie related to that tube who used to play

- for Gretna...Mark Dobie ?

cufconline> No - I don't think so. I almost hope he isn't. Could be

- genetically significant if he was

[paulclements] is Dobie a common name doon there....

cufconline> mark Dobie played for us as well

[paulclements] and workington..and barrow....

cufconline> I think a good West Cumbrian name

[paulclements] and queen of the south

cufconline> Done the usual rounds, then. I see Fyfe has rejoined Penrith

[paulclements] he must be getting on a bit

[paulclements] i'm surprised matthew richards aint here...he usually has

- plenty to say

[paulclements] overdose

cufconline> He was at the game yesterday so maybe he is a genuine supporter

[paulclements] no doubt he is....

cufconline> there were rumours he was a PNE fan infiltrating the list

[paulclements] you seem to keep winning his little quizes

[paulclements] ah

cufconline> I know :-) I'm withdrawing from now on to give others a chance

- ;-)

[paulclements] hows the mk out campaign going....

[kynson] How old is Matthew, do you think?

[paulclements] whats he saying these days.....

[paulclements] 10-20

cufconline> It's not - haven't heard any chanting at games since MK was in

- charge, put it that way

[kynson] Very little, surprisingly

>> Perthblue has left channel #XC.1228116

cufconline> I'm sure he's a 14-15-16 year old judging by his posts

[kynson] Rob and I thought the same.

cufconline> You can tell with some people - same goes for Usenet

[paulclements] he is very keen...I just wish him and others would speelchek

- their emails.....

cufconline> Absholutely



some seminars and so on,

- I'll email you the info and a list of exhibitors. Cellnet are there so there

- may be cheap mobile 'phone deals going.

[kynson] I'll have a look, thanks Al

[Perthblue] Did we play a more attacking game yesterday?

[kynson] definintely

TO kynson> If you see any good HTML/WYSIWYG editors while you are there, let

- me know - currently evaluating Hot Metal Pro (v4)

[kynson] we paid for it with the goal we conceded, though.

[paulclements] was the lad Kerrigan playing....he used to play for Albion

- Rovers & Clydebank amongst others..

[PRIVATE FROM kynson] I use HoTMetaL - I like it.

cufconline> Yes - forced two saves out of Caig

cufconline> Sunday Sun gave him 7/10

[PRIVATE FROM kynson] I am thinking of switching over to Linux from windows

- when I know enough about it.

[paulclements] i still think we made a BIG mistake not getting Ian McCall as

- manager

cufconline> awarded Dobster and B-W joint Man of Match 8/10

[paulclements] he does a great job at clydebank....

TO kynson> Ooh - brave man ;-)

[kynson] I think McCall was too much his own man for MK, possibly

[Perthblue] I seem to be full of questions! Does Knighton go to all the

- games?

[PRIVATE FROM kynson] Tell me about it ;-)

[paulclements] maybe...but he is a bloddy good manager...just wait and see

- where he ends up...

[kynson] Nearly all of them, yes

[paulclements] thats when he is not being beamed up by aliens

TO kynson> I used Sun Solaris for seven years at work, a real bugger to

- configure anything :-(

[Perthblue] I wish!

[PRIVATE FROM kynson] The new distributions of Linux seem to have a lot

- going for them. I will probably convert my current PC over to Linux and get

- a newer one next year.

[paulclements] who did the yiller gimmel draw yesterday.....

TO kynson> Might try that myself when funds allow...

[kynson] We currently have a DEC Alpha and a small Linux box in amongst our

- NT and Novell servers.

[kynson] oops, that was to Al

cufconline> Yiller Gimmel?

[paulclements] tombola thing on the pitch

cufconline> Oh that - it was a bloke from the East Stand who won

[kynson] I wasn't paying attention, but the shrew fans gave them a hard

- time.

[paulclements] who was the celeb who made the draw

[kynson] don't know

cufconline> It's gone downhill that since Adrian Bell took over - they had

- Mick Tait doing the honours yesterday

[Perthblue] Was there a decent crowd?

[kynson] under 3000, I think

cufconline> 2,501

[paulclements] taity pops from Hartlepool...

cufconline> Ex-CUFC legend "Taity Pot"

[kynson] Maybe a few wins will bring back the fickle ones.

[paulclements] sorry

cufconline> We're a thousand down even on Knighton's era (i.e.

- pre-Christmas)

[Perthblue] He was a tough player

[paulclements] the carlise crowds do go up a heck of a lot if they are

- winning....

[paulclements] where do they all go when they are losing....Greyna ?

[kynson] Has anyone heard any more on the rumours about the closure of the

- Warwick Road End at the end of the season?

[paulclements] Gretna

cufconline> We keep saying "down to the hard core 2,500" then "down to the

- faithful 2,000" then "just the last 1,500 left now"

[kynson] maybe WQueen of the South, or just listen on the wireless :-)

[paulclements] didn't you once get aboot 800 for a asw match against

- stockport...4-0 !!!

[kynson] I was there!

cufconline> Early prediction for the Brentford game - 3,000 (just)

[Perthblue] Eeeh when I were a lad our hardcore was 5000

[kynson] I was also there for both legs of the infamous Northern Final

cufconline> We used to get sub 1,000 gates when they only had the paddock

- and main stand open for AWS games

[paulclements] who against....

[kynson] Stockport

[paulclements] 2-0. 0-0...

[paulclements] or 2-0..0-1

[kynson] I, unfortunately, will not be at the Brentford match, I'll be in

- London.

[paulclements] rub a duck

cufconline> I think Hartlepool drew about 850 for a Autoglass game - lowest

- ever

[kynson] I think we'll beat Brentford 3-2

[paulclements] 850 would be a good crowd for Stirling !!!!!

cufconline> Brentford - the game that changed our season last year that was

[paulclements] Don't get carried away Davey

[kynson] Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[kynson] I think that we are going places........... Garlands,

- perhaps.......

cufconline> I'll settle for 0-0 draws for the rest of the season, that would

- be enough to keep us up

[Perthblue] Will Pearson stay on next season?

[paulclements] how about an awy trip to Cheltenham or Kettering

[kynson] Nah, we ant excitment

cufconline> yes unless he gets a better offer from somebody else

[paulclements] how did the Reds gan on yesterday...where are they in the

- league ?

cufconline> Beat ramsbottom 3-2

[kynson] don't know, sorry

[paulclements] ooerr

cufconline> 5th place in NW Choo Choos

[paulclements] is that a league game or a bizzare cumbrian sport

cufconline> Possibly both

[paulclements] sounds like it

[Perthblue] Will there be a commentary on Sat?

cufconline> You should have a lurk in uk.local.cumbria for a few cracks from

- Cumbrians

[kynson] Yes

[paulclements] I'm off...I'll speak to you all on Tuesday night..I'll

- probably be in for the second half...

[kynson] After an amusing thread in one of the B5 newsgroups, I was thinking

- of starting a thread in the IML - how to spot a carlisle United fan

[Perthblue] See ya later

[kynson] Bye paul

[paulclements] ta ra

cufconline> Bye PC

>> paulclements has left channel #XC.1228116

[kynson] How to spot a CUFC fan - permanently blue?

cufconline> There was something really funny I spotted in a mag about a

- half-full glass of milk - worth posting to a techie group, unless it came

- from there in the first place

[kynson] go on...

cufconline> I can't remember it now - I'll have to dig it out & post it in

- full

cufconline> Must be funnier than those rash of "Geordie version of Windows"

- jokes going about etc etc

>> Perthblue has left channel #XC.1228116

cufconline> Everybody's going | think - so see ya on Tue night

[kynson] To change tacks, it was busy out on the town last night. We thought

- we'd go to Buskers for a change and couldn't get in and so went to Jacksons

- again. That was heaving by the end of the  night

[kynson] Oh, OK. See you then, then. I'll send the info about the exhibitons

- tomorrow

cufconline> Cheers Dave. Byee
