Carlisle fans certainly had more to celebrate than us.
I think that is their first win at home on a Saturday for 566 days.
It's not that long since August 17th!

How did Cameron & Pressley play today especially with all the negative comments recently with supporters not wanting them here, over on Facebook Paul Farman getting plenty of negative comments about how he got beaten at his near post but not many plaudits about his brilliant save in the first half, end of the day a great point today.

Pressley a handful once again , won some good flick ons and held the ball up well. Got thrown around a bit by their centre halves but it didn’t put him off.

Cameron… well usual really. Rubbish.

Excellent away following. Im not sure many of the 400 were actually Barrow fans but they certainly were come the end.

The most random away end I’ve seen in my Barrow away career , made up of general day trippers getting a game in , Serbians , Canadians , our Cologne friends and a good number of the southern branch and Barrow branch.

Good laugh up the bluebirds. Enjoyable afternoon , not often you see Barrow do that.

That`s really bad from Whing keeping Cameron on why did he do that could of cost us the game thought the manager was better than that, hopefully won`t ever start again for Barrow thanks for your comment.

Just listened to the gaffers interview on you tube and unless I have heard wrong he says towards the end of his interview “He is here next year” when talking about Dean Campbell.

Fancy that! It’s probably the ‘Royal Barrow’ tag. You’d be surprised how popular us British royals are all over the world. Plus our new admirers can tell the folks back home they went to Wimbledon and watched a great game.
We will foller the soccer, over land and sea...

Good ear, he talks about fletch, Mahoney and Campbell as though the latter platter will be here next year, would be great to get Campbell to sign a new deal.

Superb result
Thing Whing came in as a man working his way up the league.
He brings some inexperience but is learning on the job.
The team has a fighting spirit now we never had earlier in the season.

As a side note Newby will not get many goals but his crosses and speed are a assett to the team.
Only downside he is a local which some people seem to dislike.

What would you have done? Cameron wasn't responsible for either of their goals and he didn't cost us the game. Maybe the head coach knows better than you.
Don't let the old man in.

Just a sarcastic response to another post knocking Cameron

Your joking right? His crossing and general end product etc are absolutely awful. He constantly pulls out of tackles and headers. His dive in front of the away end yesterday was laughable. If we are to progress as a team, we need alot better than him, local or not
