This is gonna be short and sweet cos me heads still busting after coming home sober as a judge on the road to hell, FFS if you can't sing a song just shout anything as loud as you can then finish it off with a rendition of Turnaround by Bonnie Tyler or was it Turner out, I can't remember now it all just blended into one
Seeing as I was the only sober one and the only one off the bus in the ground for kick off to witness a blistering start by us I wouldn't believe a word any of the others say.
We forced Carlisle back from kick off and kept them defending deep in there own box till we scored, and by then that could have been the 2nd one.
McSweeney doing well down the left and Monkhouse looking dangerous down the right (why play them out of position I don't know but for 20 minutes it worked) Humphreys was picking up every loose ball and keeping it simple, Boydy making space for himself with ease and even Bjornsson looking the part. As for Sweeney
I feared the worst when I saw the line up, but hey for 20 minutes we were in control.The conditions were bad, but not as bad as our defending after the opening 20 mins. Once Carlisle forced a corner and Flinders failed to deal with it we seemed to panic and it lifted Carlise. Every cross that came in Flinders would insist on punching but unfortunately not very well, and from a dubious corner awarded to Carlise, another failed attempt by Flinders to clear resulted in a scramble and it looked as though Bjornsson duly obliged and mis-controlled it into his own goal.
Once level that was effectively game over, no apparent leadership on the pitch and no guidance off it we just seemed to fear the worst and accept it and we weren't dissapointed.
As for CT's comments tonite that the conditions were that bad it was funny
there was certainly no-one laughing in the away section after watching us go from total control to hanging on waiting for the inevitable And as for saying Carlisle obviously took the conditions into account when winning the toss
err no they didn't they just made sure they kicked towards the home end 2nd half like every club does Any way sure enough the inevitable happened, 2 obviously very different team talks, one dressing room was obviously centred around what Wincy Willis was forecasting for the 2nd half, the other rallying the troops and ensuring they kept the pressure on.
McSweeney I think headed accross his own goal whilst trying to head clear for the 2nd then a fluke from Matty Robson that Flinders should have saved, (it was in the air for about 2 minutes.) game over.
It can't get any worse can it
cue substitution( Foley for Boyd 
Clark for Humphreys, Freddie for Bjornsson, now really Sweeney should have done the honourable thing and said "look I'm not doing anything why don't you take me off" but I don't think anyone would have noticed even if he had.
To sum up how bad Carlisle were, we pulled one back after a good cross from Freddie or was it Hartley
I can't remember, couldn't see for tears,don't know if it was what i was watching on the pitch or the thought of the bus ride home, knowing that the loony tunes had already all gone back to the pub) and then we should have had a penalty from the most blatant hand ball directly in front of both Ref and Linesman, that would have given us an undeserved point, but a handball is handball no matter how bad you are, so can't understand why we didn't get it.Flinders, Austin both had there worst games of the season, Liddle and Collins did ok, Hartley Freddie, Clarke, Boydie, Humphs, McSweeney and Monkhouse didn't do bad, Bjornsson had a good opening 15 mins.
I think we are losing these games off the pitch and it needs sorting otherwise the blokes in the white coats that should have been waiting for the bus to get back, might end up carting CT away before long because some of the selections, substitutions and excuses are beyond belief.
Foley for Boyd
Johnny Rowell not used
Sweeney not used
And then those barstewards on the bus singing out of tune all the way home in between playing who can shout the loudest
