Disgruntled Carlisle Fans

Post by Methuselah » Mon Apr 28, 2025 3:23 pm

Who knows the recent relegation of Carlisle from the EFL may have a positive effective on Barrow.
Many of them nearer to Barrow(,the only EFL club in this part of the world) may suddenly decide to switch allegiances and start supporting Barrow due to the fact that they are totally fed up with the way the club is being run.
If they carry on complaining about their benefactor owners they in turn may walk away which would only inflict more damage on their club and bring more supporters on our direction.After all there is now only one place to watch proper football.
Here's hoping.

Interesting listen on the Carlisle social, Simpson would have kept them up, Williamson was the downfall.

Philips with an almost Kevin Keegan esk moment, on about Twitter stuff, Carlisle gave it plenty over time on their social feed, then we put “The only EFL club in Cumbria” the comment on the social was something like:-

“Barrow were irked when Carlisle did it, after they first came into the league, but I think that’s pretty poor from Barrow, coz they were really bothered by Carlisle doing that, and the second it’s changed, they have done it!”

Personally think he’s looking into it to deep, it’s just a bit of “back n forth” rather than rubbing peoples noses in it.

I know of people in Penrith who watched Carlisle week in week out. As soon as Barrow re-entered the EFL they started watching Carlisle when they were at home and Barrow when at home, fixtures allowing.
There are people in Kendal that go to watch Carlisle regularly. I think it will depend on how Carlisle are doing in the National before they would consider watching us. And of course there are now the people between Barrow and Morecambe to throw into the mix as well now that the Shrimps are relegated.

It’s a bit of craic; sure if you asked the Carlisle media team they’d have expected it after the stuff they were tweeting after both games against us, always going to get some stick back

Indeed and that was what the others in the chat basically said.

James Philips (aka Cartridge) is a journalist who likes to create controversy- maybe that’s part of his role as a journo - but the others weren’t buying it . In trying to appear balanced ( which he most certainly is not) he said that when Carlisle first did it, it too was not good - or words to that effect. However , I doubt very much that he said that when they did do it !

As one of their participants commented, they’ve got bigger problems than the BAFC social media output.

We can enjoy our time in the spotlight next season, and delight in their current plight, but they’ll be back soon and when that happens it will be good for both clubs .

Cartridge 🤣 there is that Alan partridge air to the points raised, least it makes for an entertaining listen, still not a patch on the Barrow one though.

He spent the last 30 seconds saying Carlisle could be saved if the EFL kick-out Reading

Clutching at straws!

It's thought Reading is on the brink of being sold, but if they aren't, and they finish in a play-off place the EFL will have to make a big call!

I seem to recall James Philips was suspended for a few months a couple of years ago from Radio Cumbria. I think it was something he’d put on Twitter but I maybe wrong it might have been something he’d said on air. Whatever it was it must have been a big mistake to be taken off air.

I have just listened to Carlisle's podcast and realised that the deadly combination of Arrogance and stupidity-always comes back to bite you on the arse.

I always got the impression that it really hurt the anchor at Radio Cumbria the day Barrow got back into the football league. Having said that, I think Lumsden is fairly level headed, whereas Phillips always takes the bait and reacts.

Personally I think it’s rather sad,that individuals come on here,celebrating the events at Carlisle,an achievement for my team,Barrow,is finishing above them ,not seeing them relegated.I still have fond memories watching them play Chelsea,late 70s I think,we were in the town having played against a skool from there.and we were treated to the big match afterwards. Great club, fantastic support,and I’m sure they will return soon.
As for JP, guess he’s marmite to some,personally I like his passion and enthusiasm.
