Carlisle vs Yeovil (vs Blackpool fans vs Oyston) - FA Cup

[GloverGing]

We need to get Zoko to sign a new contract ASAP

 

[daviejones]

I'll be at the replay, not far for me. Better not be fucking shit like we sounded today though.

Why don't Carlisle use QoS's ground for some games?

It's plastic

Yes it was a poor performance, but it's no surprise at all the shit we've had to put up with lately with the groundshares and postponements as it's probably the main reason for the negative effect on our form. I just want us to get back to playing at Brunton Park which fingers crossed should be our next home match and that we go down to Yeovil and play like we had been before this new year!

Jeez...Jocko footy really is shit,isn't it?
Especially when some glorified pub team like Gretna (fuck me!) can waltz straight through to cup finals/Prem Lge,etc.
How the old firm must wish they played in a decent set-up.

Hopefully. Had an ace time at Deepdale but pretty miserable at Blackburn and Blackpool and just want to be back home now. We can at least enjoy the draw knowing we still have a decent chance of being in the fourth round.

We've got to make it to the 4th round, sick of us not getting any further than the 3rd round in years.

We've got to be winning the next couple of league matches really and hopefully that'll put us back in reasonable form to go up there and beat them. Such a huge payday for whoever wins it so it'll be a very nervy affair.

Fuck sake. That wasn't good enough today, didn't deserve the lead at half time and probably didn't warrant the 2-1 win either. Gutted with the late equaliser.

Joyce had a shocker. Definitely missed Kennedy's energy in midfield today.

At least we're in the 4th round draw, but I'm not too confident of winning the replay.

Why the hell did Hanford go up for that last minute corner? He must've thought we were losing the game, in need of a last gasp equaliser. That or he wasn't too keen on heading to Yeovil on a Tuesday night.

The Old Firm can just play against each other 40 times a year for all I care. However, Sevco FC are currently not as good as Aberdeen or Hearts and their former chairman Murray was responsible for running down the other Scottish clubs in the 90s so that they couldn't ever challenge the terrible twosome.

Who knows, there are nut job goalkeepers and then there's Dan Hanford. My guess though it he figured that the whistle would have been blown as soon as the corner was seen out.

 

[shoddycollins]

Was just about to say that there was no disruption from the Blackpool fans, so good to see good-sense prevailed in the end.

However I've just heard a rumour that one of the Carlisle fans' coaches had a brick put through its window as it left the stadium.

I was a bit puzzled why he went up when you were drawing. Maybe he had thought of another way he could time waste.

He wasn't the only culprit though, your players who were subbed - I've seen icebergs move faster.

That's crap if true. I didn't see any Blackpool fans around the ground so thought it had passed off peacefully.

 

[MrGloverLover]

It wasn't a pretty game, the pitch was terrible and the wind was strong at times. I thought we played some decent stuff at times and it would have been a travesty if we'd lost. Really impressed with Liam Walsh our new loanee from Everton, looks like he has a lot of ability and likes to get stuck in. The most pleasing thing was our never say die attitude. Under Sturrock we wouldn't have had the heart to come back twice but Darren Way seems to have got his own love of the club through to the players.

 

[Carver]

I just watched the highlights and we were so unlucky not to go 2 nil up with Grainger hitting the underside of the bar that would of been a great goal and then Wyke putting the rebound against the inside of the post. Their first goal was poor defending by Raynes it looked like he switched off and let Zoko who you wouldn't expect to win a header next to a player as tall as Raynes to head it in and Hanford looked naff as usual when the goals went past him, I think he was sliding on his knees for the 2nd goal instead of using his damn hands! Hanford is one of the shite players left over from last season so for him to get picked ahead of Gillespie for a 3rd round match is a poor decision.

I don't doubt us however for the replay, I truly believe that we'll go down there and put in a top performance and get the win.

I really thought it was 2-0 when you hit the bar, that was a fantastic effort. That follow up by Wyke though is right up there for miss of the season, I still can't believe he didn't hit the target.

 

[cufc17]

Thinking about it, we actually had some great chances despite an unusually poor performance. Jabo had a chance at 0-0 which he'd normally bury, we nearly made it 2-0 at the end of the 1st half from a corner, Grainger and Wyke hit the upright twice in 5 seconds.

I didn't notice too much time wasting to be honest, well nothing out of the ordinary anyway - slow walk-off before being subbed, keeper lining up goal kicks etc.

 

[shoddycollins]

There were two chances to make it 2-0. The aforementioned bar-post effort.

But also, there was one moment where Gillead got into the box and played Jabo in, who was in a great position to score, decided to pass back to Gillead for some reason, when Gillead was offside. I guess in situations where you're not used to offside being an issue, such as when making very short, almost sideways passes, you don't think to check.

 

[rudebwoyben]

That Yeovil away strip is hideous.
Zoko's headed goal seemed to happen in slow motion.

Your keeper was the worst culprit, he took an age to take his kicks, but those were the slowest sub walks off I've seen. No wonder the ref made a point of telling them he'd be adding time on. I was a bit puzzled by your fans' reaction to the 5 minutes of added time, that was about what we all expected.

I don't mind our away kit TBH. I agree Zoko's goal seemed to take forever to go in.

I heard it was a dreadful miss but looking at the highlights it looked quite awkward for him and the ball did come back to him very quick, so I think I'll let him off, still it was the inside of the post he struck so it's not as if he blazed it a mile over the bar.

You must be pleased to have Zoko, he is a quality player to have, but the problem when we had him is that there would be so many games where he wouldn't take them seriously or he'd just look half arsed at times which was annoying because we knew he could change games from absolutely nothing.

Yes, it took Zoko a few games to get going. I think we were beginning to wonder about him but then he scored twice against Barnet and that seemed to kickstart him. Glad to have him in our ranks

Looks like it bounced a bit higher than he expected, got his feet muddled up as well, a bit like Crouch yesterday.

I've just seen the tv highlights and they don't do justice to it. I was right behind that goal, it was a lot easier than it looked on the box.

What? You still saying Wyke is a shit striker?

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

It was a game very much devoid of quality but still had some moment due to afew chances and goals.

Terrible pitch but you cannot blame Blackpool for that any pitch would be bad with 2 games in 2 days and really when seeing the mass and mass of surface water in the fields outside Blackpool I was shocked it was in the conditition it was and not worse.

I do think sadly in this can our prior knowledge of that pitch hurt us and helped Yeovil. I think when watching that game we clearly played like a team that changed its approach due tot he pitch while yeovil tried to stick with their usual gameplay and it helped them and hindered us.

we played like some Keith alexanders 'Harlem globetrotters' Lincoln side of the mid 00's....infact that is abit harsh on that team as it at least had some form of organization to it unlike us.........11 big lumps aiming to score off throws and set pieces, we just aimlessly lumped it anywhere with no real direction at all hoping the ball would land somewhere near the box in a wild hope we may by chance get hold of the ball.

the midfield was horrific, Gilliead I'd taken off after 20 minutes since he seemed to join the endless lift of Carlisle wingers who seem to start on the wing and over the course of the season end up at full back.......I don't even think he knew where he was player or what he was doing drifting from every single area of the pitch apart from most of the time an area where the ball actually was.......he was completely anonymous and a total waste of a place in the side.

Mind maybe he worried he'd be like Joyce, who ended up playing worse than a 4 year old kicking a ball for the first time, at least the 4 year old may have kicked it on the ground and possibly......possibly to someone else in blue, I am struggling to remember in all my time a player who made so many horrendous 'passes' in the course of one game as Joyce did yesterday

add in Dicker also doing very little and that was 3 of your 4 midfielders out the game and is probably why it was just up and over all the time.

Good free kick for lead, Yeovil then were better side for most of the half and we all agree Carlisle were extremely fortunate to be ahead. Second half I think we played better early on, but Yeovil came right back into it and the equalizer had been coming 5-8 minutes before and Curle dithered too long on subs, we did well to get back level but then for me made the wrong subs at end of game I'd never for one took Iberhe off since he was only one causing problems up front, plus I'd maybe gone 4-3-3 since we had no midfield anyway.

saying that I do not think we could have done much on that equalizer it was a nice turn and finish

No, just that one instance.
