  1. Those great big massive ones…….ususlly obscured by your dark glasses……🕶️
  2. You mention the Carol/the owners a couple of times but the DoF would’ve had major input on any sacking and subsequent new manager. On the face of it there was a bit too much shall we say loyalty shown to our previous recent managers when looking at their results prior to being replaced. We can speculate whether this was down to Carol, the DoF or both, but ultimately in my view if the DoF says he’d rather not appoint Crosby then Carol would’ve listened I’m sure. Moore was always going to be seen as a big name appointed mainly to quell the unrest. Time will tell on that score.
  3. This list lays bare what we all know, that recruitment has been shambolic. The fact that Flitcroft got lucky with a couple of loans doesn’t conceal the fact that our squad was miles away from where it needed to be going into this season. It’s Sexman levels of delusion to expect so many untried players to come good. For a guy who’s been involved in football for as long as our DoF to show such a stunning level of incompetence is unbelievable, yet here we are.
  4. Well said. He was an outdoors guy who loved a walk up Hamil Road, he also knew how to look after his employees, plus his other big hobby, watching hours of YouTube videos of obscure footballers.
  5. As bad as Jones was he’s been thrown to the dogs being picked at LB. Our options on the left side of defence dictated by the shortcomings in the squad, which go back to one man. Forget Dan Jones, the real villain of the piece is our DoF for not addressing the issue after Benning left.
  6. You’re right in saying that they had 2 sent off but you can’t tell me we were worse in that game when 11 v 11 than we were yesterday. I was a both games and know what I saw. No idea what you mean by that last sentence. No manager can do wrong when the team are winning so what would anyone be wishing for?
  7. You could look at the other way and say Carol wasn’t ruthless enough by showing too much loyalty to both Clarke and Crosby. If she was really ruthless both would’ve been gone in the January and any new manager given time to recruit a few of their own players rather than hanging on until the window had shut. More importantly, why think Carol made the decision? Flitcroft would be responsible for hiring and firing the manager. Carol would be consulted but the DoF would most likely decide. Don’t forget it was Flitcroft who supposedly recruited Clarke in the first place.
  8. Moore sounds like a beaten man in his interview.
  9. Fair comment. Fans protests and the inevitable relegation will hopefully open her eyes but sadly it could’ve been so different if we’d added a couple of players in the summer.
  10. We’ve just watched an admittedly decent Oxford side make us look like a pub team. Maybe our DoF can offer some spin as to why Oxford players were individually so far ahead of ours it was embarrassing.
  11. Compare today to a far more even game at their place so what’s happened in the interim? Quite simply David Flitcroft, master of all things football, has taken us backwards through his sheer incompetence.
  12. No, they’re still fine. We’ll be relegated and my drinking will be moderated…..a little bit.
  13. They say laughter is the best medicine, this may be true, but it hasn’t healed the cuts on my hands from when I fell up the steps going into the Hamil last week.
  14. Am I missing something? It’s a fair old jump from incompetent to evil.
  15. Carlisle will be having a serious crack at bouncing back at the first attempt. Paul Simpson: Carlisle United's League One struggle highlights signings importance - BBC Sport WWW.BBC.CO.UK
