Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

I feel I have to say, Paddy Lane, was a lot better in this game. He got an assist and was running tirelessly and looked a threat all game. So I hope he starts a run of form which will make me eat my words. Not got much to add from what others said. Great to see the centre back pairing we've all been...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cardiff City (a)

Get Lane out of the team, for everyone's good including his. Don’t just get him out the team, terminate his contract for match fixing. THREE sitters missed - is this guy really that shit, or is he missing them deliberately? Absolute toilet player. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks like this....

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cardiff City (a)

Their keeper was the only difference. Lane was great today. Hasn’t been good recently but give him credit today. The “miss” was harder than it looked and the keeper was playing out of his skin. Wing back to his usual. Paddy Lane needs to get the f**k out of the team. If my other half has to listen ...

Re: FA Cup 2025-26

Carlisle have a big supporters base and an awful lot of them don't live in Carlisle any more (I mean, would you? :wink: ) So I think people saying they'll not bring many are wrong - there are a good many London/South-based Cumbrians who'll jump at the chance to see their team play without a 600-mil...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cardiff City (a)

I know football is a results business. And I am all for giving people time. But, I do feel the performances have been dire. We just let teams get at us in the first 10 to 25 minutes of every game no matter who our opponent is. I expect the same thing will happen against Carlisle United. This is what...

Re: Hunt out.

Not read this whole thread as I am very much a Hunt in, however, can I ask a quick question? Are all the Hunt out people the same ones that were probably calling for Brian McDermott's head in September 2011? The season we won the league? Give him some more time and then have look at the situation at...

Re: What % of fans would disappear if we went down the divisions

I wouldn’t put it down purely to fickleness. I’ve lived away from the area for almost 30 years, so it’s a long time since I could reasonably expect to do even most of the home games. But I had a ST during the seasons in the PL, because otherwise I expected to struggle to get tickets for any game. I...

Re: Charlie Savage to Wrexham

Obviously. The football was often a bit dull and doomed long term, but there was lots to enjoy. It is only "obviously" if all you care about is the end result. The football was dull and uninspiring. I can personally say there were plenty of games I did not enjoy that season. Does this mak...

Ungrateful prick. Anyone saying they barely enjoyed any games finishing second is a massive arse Did you enjoy our 2016/17 campaign when we finished 3rd in the league? Obviously. The football was often a bit dull and doomed long term, but there was lots to enjoy. It is only "obviously" if...

Re: Charlie Savage to Wrexham

I wouldn't like him to go, especially to Wrexham, but the reality is that a decent offer plus the player expressing a desire to leave, equals losing that player. However I am sure his dad will counsel him wisely. Next season he will be one of the first names on the team sheet and we could have a ve...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (a)

It really would be Netflix worthy (at least for us) and one of the most unbelievable and surprising seasons of our entire history. And add in some extra spice if we end up playing Wycombe just after Couhig completes the takeover. I was thinking this, imagine a Reading v Wycombe playoff final not lo...

Re: Blackpool ( A ) Tuesday 1st April

Anyone know if you will be able to pay on the day for this? Had a look on Reading's website but couldn't see anything. Live just down the road so was going to pop along for this one. Might be worth giving the ticket office a call. Yeah, probably the best thing to do, rather than being lazy and hopi...

He’s a northerner so would probably feel at home He’s from Lancashire (least Manchester was always in Lancashire before they started inventing those stupid urban conglomerations up there).
