Gillingham v Barrow match thread

[Bakewell Blue]

And Grimsby are still in it (please, not them)

Can we make the fourth round????

I’m not trying to win a bonus points here but AJ said it’s only the second time as a non - league team we’ve beaten a Football League side. He mentioned the Paul Cox Bristol Rovers victory but I think that’s wrong because didn’t we also beat Brentford during the Bayliss / Sheridan era ?

AJ that observation wasn’t having a go far from it, I felt for you today you had a major story on your hands and the only story that seemed to be worth talking about as far as Radio Cumbria were concerned between 5:05 and 5:45 was the Carlisle win. Do the powers that be in Carlisle not know that Barrow also beat a league side this afternoon and our victory was just as impressive because it was away from home. No wonder people think the coverage is biased.

Probably meant beating a football league side away from home.

Yep - I've been critical of Cameron in the past also but glad to eat the humble pie if his goal scoring continues.
Onwards and upwards … Come On You Bluebirds.

It was interesting in post match interview with Adam, that Murray said that Cameron had a lot of ability and there was more to come from him

Adam Murray is such a humble guy.

We got £9,375 for beating Gloucester.
£47,750 for winning today.
£21,200 if we lose in round 2, but £79,500 if we win.
Also if we reach round 3, £26,500 if lose, and £121,500 for winning.
Let's hope we get a good draw on Monday.

Carlisle beat a side top of league two unbeaten in eight games and probably the biggest budget in league two so fair play to them they deserved the plaudits today

Just got back from the game.

What a great day for the club. Into the 2nd round and the potential of the big boys after that.

Allen’s had a blinder again and that man Innes bags another.

Adam Murray is such a humble guy.

Yes, I agree. He seems to be humble enough to understand that a perfectionist can never be satisfied with achieving perfection and must redouble efforts to improve on it.

I said this so many times on the walk back to Gillingham station though I'll write it down here too. An absolute tactical masterclass from Adam Murray today.

Yes and Carlisle’s is believed to be the biggest in the National League by a country mile. Gillingham might not be top of League Two but they’re pushing for a play off place. Listening between 5:05 and 5:45 Barrow didn’t get a mention, the Carlisle Manager and goalkeeper were interviewed at length as was the Workington boss. If the roles were reversed that would never have happened with two Barrow interviews before a Carlisle one.

Absolutely Cubbins - the Radio Kent commentators remarked on it at various stages in the match. They were particularly puzzled by starting without a target forward - their defence didn’t know what to do! And the timely and positive substitutions are something we have missed in recent years.
