The topic is: Carlisle United
kynson> Greetings and salutations
[cufconline] Greetings, Dave - depressed again I hope ?
kynson> No, not even that hung over actually.... Oh, you mean the soccer??!!
kynson> It sounded like a carbon copy of tuesday night
[cufconline] Yep. Seems like our stock result these days - play well
- (allegedly) and still get beat :(
kynson> I have replied to Rob's email about the Workington Comets - he sent
- me the fixture list and I have created a section on my site for them
[cufconline] He could do worse than go to egroups.com for a free mailing list
kynson> Aye, it just depends how many are interested. I have posted the same
- email to the IML and to uk.local.cumbria
kynson> hmm, uk.local.cumbria.comets ?
[cufconline] Seems now that Lacey's commentary from barnet has been
- discredited - i.e. we weren't that good after all
kynson> Nah, there wouldn't be enough interest to warrant a newsgroup
kynson> Aye, interesting that Lacey was in the studio yesterday and Graham
- Moss was at halifax
[cufconline] Have TPTB decided that DL is a bit of a liability ?
>> MFAW has joined channel #XC.1228116
kynson> TPTB?  Maybe, i have a source close to RC that says he gets a lot of
- complaints about the commentary. Then again, moss wasn't much better
kynson> Hi malc
[MFAW] Morning guys
kynson> i was expecting you in yesterday
[MFAW] I was at Halifax
[cufconline] TPTB= The powers that be, sorry
kynson> aye, chris said. a bit of a trek for you.
[MFAW] Travesty of a result
kynson> really? was the commentary right this time?
[cufconline] Pearson said they had two chances all game and still won 1-0
kynson> bummer
[MFAW] I don't remember the other chance they had1
kynson> on a positive note, my office syndicate got 4 numbers on the lottery
- last night - £58 between five of us :-)
[MFAW] Delap, Hopper and McAlindon were in the away end with us.
kynson> wow - did you get a chance to talk to them?
>> Cyprochris has joined channel #XC.1228116
[MFAW] Delap said 'Hello' but that was it.
kynson> morning chris
[Cyprochris] Greetings mon amis
[cufconline] Bloody superstar!
[Cyprochris] Who ? Me?
[cufconline] No Rory delap
[Cyprochris] Have I missed anything so far?
[MFAW] Still, I was surprised he was at Halifax rather than watching
- Liverpool
kynson> i was in buskers last night for the first time since early january.
- kosh, is that place full of little kiddies !-0
[cufconline] I think we need a striker from somewhere quick or it could be a
- nailbiting relegation battle
[MFAW] Dick Tracey looked sharp and quick but missed the sitter of the
- century
[Cyprochris] I can't understand why we didn't bid for Graeme Joones
kynson> no, you've not missed anything so far, other than the announcement of
- the workington comets homepage :-)
[cufconline] I wonder - Rotherham reserves ? Perhaps NP's seen something that
- everybody else has missed?
[Cyprochris] Yeah, who the hell are they?  Ice hockey?  Basketball?
kynson> dick tracey - i bet he has heard every joke going.....
kynson> speedwa
kynson> y
kynson> :-)
[MFAW] Dobie also missed a chance that my eight-year-old would have put away
[Cyprochris] Ah right - I lived in Peterboro for 4 years - they have a good
- team
[MFAW] I used to cycle from Seascale to Workington to watch the Comets in the
- good old days
kynson> are these missed chances a indication of something deeply wrong with
- either the players, the morale or the training methods?
[cufconline] Sounds like McGregor's not coming - although MK says he made him
- a good offer
[Cyprochris] Knighton - 'We got some players from 1st division clubs but they
- were not as good as we thought'  Pearson - 'A reserve striker from Div 3 may
- be what we are looking for'
[MFAW] I think its confidence that is lacking.  Searle never goes over the
- half way line anymore for fear of getting caught out of position at the back.
kynson> which is good!
[cufconline] If he can score a couple of hat tricks, I don't care if he plays
- for Workington reserves
kynson> after a fashion - at least we aren't conceding too many lateley - now
- we just need to score.
[Cyprochris] I think it's bad - in the early days of the season he was our
- best player going forward - more of a wide midfielder than a full back
[cufconline] Searle's quite good at BP - certainly regularly crosses the 
- half way line :-)
[MFAW] Everything yesterday was played down the right.  Clark was a spectator
- for most of the second half
kynson> actually i have just looked back over the season at goals conceded
- and it is fairly consistent
[Cyprochris] Maybe they thought Halifax were weak down the right (Halifax
- left)
[cufconline] If you look at the table, an extra six goals would probably see
- us in mid-table, think of all those chances we've missed...
[MFAW] Bowman's arms must have been tired from the number of throw-ins he had
- to take
kynson> they might well have beenweak down their left, but we seem not to be
- able to make anything of their chances
[cufconline] Is Bowman better than BB? Obvious answer is yes
[MFAW] In fact all of our chances came when we attacked their right!
[Cyprochris] Are the miudfield slow to support?
kynson> malc - halifax seemed to be caught offside a lot, was that them being
- crap or our defence being gooD?
[MFAW] A case of an elastic armed lino!
[cufconline] In the last home game, there were *NO* offsides against CUFC - a
- record ??
kynson> considering my fanzine, yes !-)
[cufconline] Stevens is offside again - time for a relaunch.
- www.stevensisoffsideagain.com
[MFAW] Tracey was caught offside a lot in the second half.  Dobie and Stevens
- seem to have it down to a fine art.
>> Cyprochris has left channel #XC.1228116
kynson> i am thinking of registering as www.kynson.ork.uk
kynson> er, .org.uk
kynson> then again.....
[cufconline] A new domain - for the orkneys?
kynson> i know - www.kynson.dork.uk  ;-)
[cufconline] Sounds like a tax dodge :-)
kynson> .nerd.uk ?
[cufconline] BTW, my insta-poll currently shows 9 for and 36 against a move
- to Scottish League
kynson> malc - how did the fans react on the terraces yesterday?
kynson> i was one of the
kynson> 9
kynson> :-)
[cufconline] I was one of the 36
kynson> ohh! fight! fight! fight! fight! fight! fight!
[MFAW] The team were applauded off at the end. The had at least shown some
- fight and kept going to the end.
[cufconline] We keep saying it - play like that every week and the results
- will soon start to come...
kynson> well that is good. i don't think we will go down now, Barr-ing a set
- of disater
[cufconline] We've been saying it since NP arrived
kynson> disasters
[MFAW] We could have had five in the last ten minutes
>> Cyprochris has joined channel #XC.1228116
kynson> there was a cross which ran across the goal mouth, but there was
- no-one to put itin?
[cufconline] You can play nice football without any good chances or goals -
- we need to find a killer instinct
kynson> crap computer again, chriS?
[MFAW] Yes, and three Brightwell headers, and a cross from Finney which went
- over the top of everyone
[Cyprochris] lol - yeah - The supplier for my new PC is giving my dosh back
- this week +40 for piss factor
[MFAW] At least Dick showed Stevens and Finney the pace at which the game
- needs to be played in the final third of the pitch
[Cyprochris] but he is only 20
[cufconline] what pace is that - quicker I hope?
[MFAW] Did Radio Cumbria report the handball which led to the Halifax goal?
>> Perthblue has joined channel #XC.1228116
[Cyprochris] Hello pb
kynson> well, i miss this saturday's match - i am in lodon "larging it" with
- all those southern shandy drinkers ;-)
[Perthblue] Hi men
[Cyprochris] Jeff?
[MFAW] Hi Steve
kynson> er, london
[MFAW] Whereabouts in London?
kynson> RC did suggest it might have been a handball
[Perthblue] Hi Mal Hi Chris
kynson> not sure yet, haven't booked a hotel. I am down for the windows '99
- exhibition at olympia and then staying on for some nights out
[MFAW] It was a blatant handball to stop the ball going out of play
kynson> know anywhere good, malc?
[MFAW] I don't know that many places in the centre of town
kynson> we were planning on staying a little bit out, on a tube line
- somewhere. not necessarily near olympia
[Cyprochris] Heathrow Airport has loads of hotels on its website - only half
- a dozen or so stops from Olympia
kynson> are the london branch meeting up anywhere next weekend?
kynson> they'll be quite expensive out there, i'd have thought?
[MFAW] We have our monthly meeting on Thursday night
kynson> ooh, we are going down thursday, but it will probably be late when we
- arrive. we set off at about 16:30
[Cyprochris] How about an EGM somewhere between 31st March and 5 April?
[MFAW] Why's that?
[Cyprochris] I thought it would all be on Company tick though Dave?
[Cyprochris] Cos I'm flying back to UK and my second week is down south
[cufconline] You''ll have to grab a PC at the exhibition and log on to the
- chat room, Dave
kynson> the exhibition is on friday :-9
[MFAW] I'm sure we can arrange to meet for a pint or two, both of you.  Keep
- in touch with Email and I'll see what we can do...
kynson> ok, it is myself and one of the lodgers, irish kev
kynson> no, only the travel is on the firm - we have an arrangement on this
- exhibition, because this is only the nhs, after all :_)
[MFAW] Cyprochris: I live in Ealing and work in Oxford Street
[Cyprochris] Ah but Labour reckon waiting lists are well down the last couple
- of months - lowest for years apparently - strange considering the flu
- epidemic
[cufconline] All NHS money is going on staff travel - not enough on ill
- patients ;-)
kynson> it is a shame that i will miss the brentford match, but i have
- someone to use my ticket - Martin Hudson!    anyway, back on to the soccer
[Cyprochris] Hear hear - I feel a Dennis Skinner impersonation coming on
>> Perthblue has left channel #XC.1228116
[MFAW] How is Martin these days?  What's he doing now?
kynson> actually, not enough money goes to staff pay, ie mine :-(
[Cyprochris] You all got got an above inflation reise did you not - armed
- forces pay rises are all crap - you owem me a few grand for the last few
- years
kynson> martin is working at Eden Vehicle Rentals. he seems happy with his
- lot and whenever i see him on there social nights out, he seems to be in good
- fettle. I know a few of them at EVR. i used to play in goal for them and i
- have a couple of mates working there, including lodger/mate alan.
>> Perthblue has joined channel #XC.1228116
[MFAW] How's things in Oz?
kynson> aye, but in the 9 years I have been in the nhs, only two of my pay
- awards were above inflation and both were phased in over t periods,
- effectively reducing them
[Cyprochris] Same here
kynson> it is a bitch working for the gov.
[Cyprochris] I missed the 10% jobby by about 2 or 3 years
[cufconline] Yeah - I think they should privatise it :-)
[Cyprochris] yep - they pay you for working 4 days every 8 and for working in
- silly climates
[MFAW] Need to get a proper job, instead of poncing off us taxpayers :-)
kynson> actually, there was a city council in the usa which runs as a
- commercial entity and the residents actually receive a dividend instead of
- paying a council tax !
[Cyprochris] Who should we have as leader of the Car Lisle Internet Team 
- (CLIT) party?
kynson> I vote to be  a member, standing in the carlisle area :-)
[MFAW] I'm all for parties, mine's a pint...
kynson> Carlisle United News Team .........
[cufconline] Make mine a double
[cufconline] Ooh err
[Cyprochris] That idea or similar is about to kick off in Peterborough - a
- small town just off the A1 called Hanton - owned by Lord Hanson - a self
- sufficient thingy
kynson> there is no reason why it shouldn't be able to happen.
[cufconline] Bit like Lowry Hill, then
kynson> look at the Sands, the pools, other commercial arms
[Cyprochris] Sorry Hampton is the name of it - the Kings X to Leeds line
- passes close by
[MFAW] Dave and Chris, I have to go but I'll be in contact via Email next
- week.  Bye to all.
[cufconline] Imagine the money councillors would make - on second thoughts,
- look what they get now ;-)
kynson> mind you, knock down the civic centre and move all the buggers out of
- town :-)
[Cyprochris] tata malc
[cufconline] Bye Malc
kynson> bye malc
>> MFAW has left channel #XC.1228116
kynson> actually, my stomach is rumbling - i've eaten nothing since 18:00
- yesterday and i only got up 10 minutes before coming online, so I guess I'll
- be off as well
kynson> bye all
[cufconline] Ok, then Dave. See ya
