It was the cowardly way Couhig stabbed us in the back when he knew we could not fight back. That got to me, and for that I can only hope their club gets screwed over on a regular basis.
 When we get out of this league, I can only hope they end up being relegated.
 Two celebrations in one. 

Surely we can all agree on the fact that they are both cocks of the highest order?! 
Never forget the parasites. 

I'd love it if we beat them.
I developed a real loathing for their chairman during the bad times. I loathed him more than I loathed Gibson.

I began frequenting a positively hostile news forum, devoid of swear filters, brimful of vicious personal attacks and threats of bodily harm, a place so mean one gets banned for being too nice.  In comparison, this forum is a heavenly oasis of tender intercourse between delightful characters bearing good will towards men and sheep.
Works for me.

I'm a reasonably diplomatic, boring, steady middle aged bloke.
I'm reasonably well educated and can write reasonably well so try to choose words on this forum that express an opinion that may be different to others, without deliberately causing offence. I certainly don't have 'poor writing' or 'poor vocabulary' as anything like an excuse if I were to cause offence.........but, without being patronising, I do understand not all so-called offensive posts are intended to be offensive.
However, it's apparent that I'm not alone in finding it tiresome that almost every single thread deteriorates into a game of point scoring, oneupmanship and, increasingly, forum archeology, in order to be unpleasant to one another.
There seems to be, in equal measure, deliberate attempts to cause offence and seek offence and it's just not great reading. I'm not in the slightest bit supportive of closing down debates or censoring differences of opinion but the number of personal spats with unpleasant language is getting beyond a joke.
I can't blame the mods because, individually, most of these posts fall below the threshold of complaint but, collectively, they make this forum so much worse than it could be.
I came to this forum for camaraderie when we nearly went under as a club - and it was a source of great comfort, information and humour.
It's got to the point where I'm considering signing off and and using the Telegraph and Radio Derby as my main non-matchday links - they have limitations but they are civil.
Any ideas what we can do?

Carlisle boss Paul Simpson has criticised supporters who abused him at the end of the 3-0 defeat at Blackpool.
The Cumbrians have won just three times this season and lie three points from safety in League One...
The supporters reacted badly to their fourth defeat in five games and Simpson said he "did not deserve to go over in front of our supporters" and be abused with offensive words and gestures.
The former Derby County and Manchester City player was also unhappy that on-loan Crystal Palace striker Luke Plange was subjected to ironic cheers when substituted in the second half.
Said Simpson: "I don't expect our supporters, who have been absolutely magnificent, to cheer and applaud when we sub a 21-year-old striker on loan from a Premier League club.
"That's not how we support Carlisle United. I think they've got a very short memory because when I came back into this football club it was on its knees.
"They all wanted to turn up and support us when the good times were going, when we had runs of wins and got into play-off semi-finals and finals, and win at Wembley and are suddenly in League One.
"They all want to cheer for that and enjoy that and now we're having a sticky patch suddenly people want to make gestures like that.
"I'll be honest with you, I don't need that in my life, I don't need that at all, so I'm not happy about that.
"It wasn't a few, it was a lot of people. We are struggling, let's be honest, but [Saturday] we did not lose because of a lack of effort and I don't care what anybody on that far side [of the ground] thinks about that.
"I don't even think the tactics were wrong, it was individual mistakes and we had opportunities and half-opportunities and if we had been clinical in both boxes that may not have happened.
Asked if he might walk away from the club if the abuse continues, Simpson refused to answer.

I see Everton have appealed. Apparently they feel a sporting sanction for an accounting breach is unfair. 
I bet a double+ sized sporting sanction for an accouting breach that actual accountants said wasn't an accounting breach would never happen though. Oh...right.

True.

I was...until Crewe when I had a wobble. He's clawed me back onside; winning is all that really counts. I'd love some epic football though.

Good game, decent sides. Nowt to be scared of though.

Good game, decent sides. Nowt to be scared of though.

True.

Not half as sickening as the ass-hat performance of the officials at Bolton who gifted Bolton 3 points.

A nil nil, red cards like confetti and more injuries than your local A and E. Unchartitable, I know, but we've still got ground to make up.

I think I’d rather they draw and both drop points

Top two ppg is bound to dip on Monday.
We need to keep the pressure on.
That last gasp Portsmouth equaliser at PPS looks even more of a sickener now.

Feel for you man. Stay strong.

Feel for you man. Stay strong.

Feel for you man. Stay strong.

How does 3-0 flatter us?
It could quite easily have been 5 or 6.

I'd have been made up, personally.

Feel for you man. Stay strong.

Another good win, hopefully we can keep the momentum going until the transfer window opens.
Win our game(s) in hand and we're 3rd, 6pts off top 🙂
Portsmouth vs Bolton being played on Monday night, a draw would be nice!

Got to be 4 at the back
Wildsmith
Ward   Nelson   Cashin   Forsyth
Bird   Hourihane
Wilson   Sibley   Mendez-Laing
Collins

Big game today.
3 points, with 4 of the 5 above us playing each other this round, and we'd be right bang in the mix, confidence high and early season dramas behind us.
Come on lads. Early Christmas present, please.
