VHTB - 20/12/09
20/12/09 09:39
The Colchester postponement means another Southern based night game for 2010, following the re-arrangement of the Exeter game to 26th Jan. The pools panel result was for a home win for Colchester so does that stop my hair threatening run of clean sheets ?

Another success in midweek sees us progress to the Football League Trophy Northern Area final where we meet Leeds over two legs. The first will be away w/c 18th Jan and the home leg during w/c 15th Feb.
There is no Branch meeting tonight as is usual at this time of year. There is a current proposal to bring forward the January meeting by a week to 14th, so as to assist in the planning of the Brentford event . I will confirm this in due course.
Congratulations to James Bull who joined the Branch at Gillingham. Recent memberships have been processed and James is our 300th member.
Dave Brown sent out the E Hit The Bar on Tuesday so you should have received it Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.Unfortunately his server crashed during Tuesday night.

Brunton Park Diary
Thanks again to Mike Kilner for keeping us up to date with the craic.
Dec 8th (Tue)
Well over 2,000 tickets for Everton are sold on their first day (the last ticket goes by the 12th). The Exeter league game postponed to make way for the cup game is rearranged for Tuesday, 26th January.
A waterlogged pitch puts paid to the reserve team’s game on the 9th away at Wrexham.
CARLISLE UTD 0 STOKE CITY 1 - FA YOUTH CUP ROUND 3
It’s heartbreak for the Carlisle youngsters as the Academy side squeeze past them thanks to a soft goal in the final minute of the game. Up until then, Carlisle had given them a few frights in an entertaining game, matching Stoke all over the park especially in the second half. Swinglehurst had a goal disallowed on the 2nd minute. For Stoke, Louis Moult was a constant threat up front including one that hit the bar and a number of others that tested Gillespie’s skills.
Team: Mark Gillespie, James Wood (James Bonner 82), Steven Swinglehurst, Sean Law, Ben Richards-Everton, Jamie Cleary, Ben McKenna, Liam Davison (c), Ryan Bowman, Manny Richardson, Matt Osmond.
Dec 9th (Wed)
The official site carries an article (see link) on the London Branch and its additional support of the Youth Team by contributing their pooled Teamcard points towards cold weather training gear.

Dec 11th
Both BMW and Anyinsah edge nearer to full-fitness while Thirlwell “steps up his rehab”. Remember kids, just ..say.. no. Offiong’s scan reveals a tear in his lateral ligament that will keep him out until about late January.
Mark Beck, a 15 year-old forward, becomes the first YTS signing for 2010/11. The Sunderland-born lad is a regular in the Durham County set-up and at 6’4”, the Peter Crouch comparisons have already begun.
Dec 12th (Sat)
CARLISLE UTD YOUTH 0 BURNLEY YTH 2
It’s a bad couple of weeks for the Youth team who seem to have hit the buffers. This time the old enemy take the points to leave Carlisle’s aspirations for a top three finish in tatters.
CARLISLE UTD 1 WYCOMBE W 0
The Ian Harte/ Pericard combination does the trick again to break Wycombe’s resistance at the end of the first half after a bright start from the Cumbrians. It’s another exercise in rapidly disappearing fingernails as the visitors pace up front causes creates a number of spurned opportunities for the visitors. Taiwo missed the game through a bout of tonsilitis.
** Player Ratings: Collin 7, Keogh 7, Livesey 8 (star man), Harte 6, Horwood 7, Hurst 6, Murphy 6, Kavanagh 7, Clayton 6, Robson 7, Pericard 7. Subs: Dobie and Aldred.
Dec 15th (Tue)
CARLISLE UNITED 3 BRADFORD CITY 0 - JPT NORTHERN SEMI FINALS
It’s almost time to start humming that annoying ‘Starship’ song over and over in your head with now only one equally loved team from Yorkshire standing between Carlisle and their 3rd visit to Wembley. Good chances come and go for both teams in the first half before Ramsden’s constant fouling of Robson tests the referee’s patience beyond its limit and sees him sent off on 39 for a second yellow. Within five minutes, Keogh had smashed in the saved rebound from Robson’s shot following good work from Pericard. Sloppy play from United almost gift City back into the match for the first half of the second period but Dobie’s introduction makes a difference as he finishes Hurst’s chipped pass on 68 and then Robson’s superb, mazy run wraps up the perfect Xmas present on 74.
** Player Ratings: Pidgeley 5, Keogh 8 (star man), Livesey 7 (Aldred 89), Harte 7, Horwood 7, Hurst 7, Murphy 7, Taiwo 6 (Dobie 64, 7), Clayton 7 Robson 7, Pericard 7 (Bridge-Wilkinson 80).
United are drawn to play Leeds at Elland Road, in the first leg, in week commencing 18 January 2010. The second leg, at Brunton Park, will be played in the week commencing 15 February 2010.
Dec 16th (Wed)
ACCRINGTON STANLEY RES 0 CARLISLE UTD RESERVES 3
The Reserves keep their position at the top with a convincing 3-0 win against Accrington and making it 6 wins from 7 in the process. A goal from Jonny Blake in the first half was followed up with strikes from Tom Aldred and Tony Kane late in the second period. It could have been 7.
Team: Gillespie, Kane, Lakeland, Bridge-Wilkinson, Alded, Cleary (Wood 66), Richardson (Davison 49), Blake, Bowman (McKenna 35), Burns, Tinnion.
Carlisle is named as one of 14 finalists hoping to be named the UK's first city of culture in 2013.
The others include Barnsley, Birmingham, Chichester, Hull, Ipswich and the Haven Gateway, Norwich, Portsmouth and Southampton, Sheffield, the county of Cornwall (huh?), Derry, Southend, Durham and Swansea. The winner will be named next summer.
Barrow sell 5,000 tickets out of an allocation of 7,100 on just the first day of sale for their FA Cup 3rd round match at Sunderland.

Raise a Glass of Vodka
For those of us who went to Poland last summer, we will all remember the fantastic hospitality we received from Dobbo's father in law's best friend Mr Kleemer. His generosity with the vodka in particular will never be forgotten. Unfortunately Mr Kleemer died this week. Please raise a glass (preferably vodka) in his honour.

10 goals in 3 games but more importantly 3 vital league points tonight nudged us up into mid table.
I have had positive vibes from the club about getting Everton tickets due to all members being Teamcard holders but we are awaiting confirmation of ko time, and ticketing arrangements.
Please wait for an official announcement before ordering tickets and ensure that your Ticket Deposit Scheme is topped up.
For those looking at travelling by train from Euston, if the ko is 3pm on Saturday 2nd Jan, the cheapest option looks to be the 0907 and the most logical return will be on the 1848.
If anyone is keen to go by train with the price likely to be £30-£40, please let me know as the earlier we can book the less it will be.
