CARLISLE UTD RESERVES 2 TRANMERE ROVERS RESERVES 1
The Reserves go to the top of the table after this win against a team with a 4 win – 1 loss record. Rothery played in Richardson on 6 for the first and then on 15, the favour’s returned as Rothery curled in Richardson’s pass around the keeper. A late consolation on 81 doesn’t halt Carlisle securing all three points. Burns just edges it as man of the match from Richardson.
Team: Mark Gillespie, Tony Kane, Simon Lakeland (Jamie Cleary 61), Michael Burns, Steven Swinglehurst, Peter Murphy (James Wood 71), Ben McKenna, Jonny Blake, Manny Richardson, Gavin Rothery, Conor Tinnion (Sean Law 46).
According to the BBC site, Ipswich enquires about getting Carlisle’s leading scorer (!) Ian Harte on loan before tomorrow’s deadline. The request is then knocked back by Abbott.
The usual pot of Westwood transfer rumours is given a stir once again with Sunderland this time being the latest club to be interested. Carlisle has a 25% sell-on clause as part of the original transfer.
Nov 26th (Thu)
Paul Simpson makes a deadline bid to take Peter Murphy on loan at Shrewsbury. The inference in the comments given suggests that Abbott was willing to let the deal go ahead but it fell through when the replacement he wanted came to nothing.
One piece of business that does go ahead is Gavin Rothery’s loan spell to Barrow until the New Year. At 22 years old, time’s running out on him making the grade and certainly opinions are divided on whether he’ll make it as a first team regular. Most agree though that the loan spell should do him no harm at all given the quality and number of matches served up in the Reserve league.
Nov 27th (Fri)
Saturday’s Youth Team game at home to Accrington is called off due to a waterlogged pitch.
The News & Star run a story on Carlisle’s attempts to hang on to their guns for hire; Clayton, Pericard and Taiwo, with all three attracting interest from further up the league and the latter meant to be the subject of a firm bid from an unknown side.

CARLISLE UTD 3 NORWICH CITY 1 F.A.CUP ROUND 2
A few seasons ago would have seen the Carlisle players looking to swap shirts with their opposite numbers in a cup game so a dominant second-half display just shows what a performance it was. Hopefully, 150,000 or so will have enjoyed the game as part of the F.A. new live internet coverage of the cup with both clubs receiving £67,500 as part of the deal. With Taiwo suspended and Clayton injured, Murphy is drafted into midfield with Hurst playing just in the hole and Anyinsah wide on the right. Anyinsah’s early cross finds Pericard near the penalty spot and he scores one of the goals of the season with a brilliantly executed volley over his shoulder using the heel of his boot. Norwich get their passing game going and eventually grab an equaliser through Holt’s header. With less than 20 seconds on the clock, Carlisle come straight out of the traps in the 2nd with Pericard bursting through and laying it into the path of Hurst who sweeps a side-footed finish past the keeper just inside the box. It sets the tone for the rest of the game and rather than sit back and defend, Carlisle go on the offensive, continuously pressing the Canaries into mistakes. Keogh’s headed third seals the win and there’s no way back for Paul Lambert’s side.
* Player Ratings: Collin 7, Keogh 7.67, Livesey 7, Harte 7, Horwood 7.17, Murphy 7.67, Kavanagh 6.33, Robson 6.67, Hurst 7, Anyinsah 8.33, Pericard 8.83 (star man).

Summer Trip and/or Weekend Away
The vote for the destination/date of next years summer trip chose Budapest as the destination and the date Friday 4th June. I am unable to go on the trip next June and whilst I'm happy to help in booking hotels and researching things to do etc if the trip is to go ahead a volunteer would be needed to organise things once there (excursions, meals etc). If anybody would be prepared to step forward please contact me asap.
I also asked in the survey if there was interest for a weekend based around an away game this season. The response to this was very positive and having discussed this further with a number of members I would now like to gauge interest for a weekend based around our final game of the season at Norwich (Saturday 8th May). I would base this on staying for two nights (Friday7th & Saturday 8th). If anybody wanted to stay longer that could be arranged.

Brunton Park Diary
Nov 16th (Mon)
Andy Cook returns to the club on crutches after picking up what was originally reported as a badly bruised foot in Barrow’s 2-2 home draw with AFC Wimbledon on the previous Saturday. Cook was substituted at half time having picked up a knock during the first half and leaving a swelling around the damaged area. The injury transpires to be damage to his fifth metatarsal and on full assessment a few days later, it’s confirmed that Cook’s season is unfortunately over. The operation will involve a bone graft with the bone pinned and there’s also likely to be associated tendon damage, thus taking at least five months until he’s back in training.
David Raven undergoes an operation on his injured hip having missed out on first team action since the end of October. MBW sprains ligaments in his knee after twisting it awkwardly in training that morning and is out for about three. The Captain’s armband strain sustained by Thirlwell continues to tie him to the treatment table. Murphy is also set to miss out on the cup reply with a “groin twinge”. Several female volunteers arrive at physio Neil Dalton’s office in order to assist with his treatment and recovery.

MORECAMBE 0 CARLISLE UTD 1 - F.A.CUP ROUND 1 REPLAY
Although not the slickest of performances, Carlisle do just enough to get past their plucky opponents with a fine 5th minute goal from Anyinsah to book a webcast tie against Norwich in the 2nd round. The defence is fortunately less chaotic than the turnstile arrangements as 1,000 Carlisle supporters descend on the tie leaving some 300 still outside when the game kicks-off. The officials miss a nailed-on penalty when Keogh is barged in the back but otherwise, the first non-draw between the two is possibly hard justice on Morecambe.
** Player Ratings: Pidgeley 7, Keogh 7, Livesey 7, Harte 6, Horwood 6, Anyinsah 8 (star man), Clayton 7, Taiwo 7, Kavanagh 6, Robson 7, Pericard 6. Subs: Dobie and Hurst.

YORK CITY YOUTH 1 CARLISLE UTD YOUTH 2 - FA YOUTH CUP RD 2
Although non-league at pro level, the York City youth team are flying high in the equivalent north-east league set up. With the prize of a third round home tie against Stoke City, it’s therefore a good win that sees Carlisle through following first-half goals from Rod-Thomas-o-Like Manny Richardson and Ben McKenna. York, who had a robust, physical approach, scored near the end to set up a nervy finish but the team held out to the end.
Nov 19th (Thu)
The football club confirm that the Environment Agency flood gates have been closed due to ongoing bad weather conditions, thus closing the match day car park until further notice.

BLACKPOOL YOUTH 0 CARLISLE UTD YOUTH 3
Goals from Reid, McKenna and Bowman secure a comfortable victory for the Youth Team and their first double of the season having won 4-0 at home.
CARLISLE UNITED 0 SWINDON TOWN 1
The ground staff work wonders to clear up to 6 inches of standing water from the pitch and then in the words of the Football League Show on BBC 1, “wish they hadn’t bothered”. It’s confirmed later that Keogh and Taiwo were both playing with the effects of an illness that led to their substitution at half-time. It was a poor touch from Taiwo that led to Austin opening the scoring after just 3 minutes. Anyinsah missed a gilt-edged chance to equalise on 13 and despite some near things including a Harte free-kick hitting the woodwork, it was the same old story with Carlisle’s finishing as Swindon held on.
* Player Ratings: Pidgeley 5.5, Keogh 5.25, Livesey 5.25, Harte 5.75, Horwood 6 (star man), Anyinsah 4.75, Clayton 4.75, Taiwo 5, Kavanagh 4.25, Robson 5, Pericard 5.5. Subs: Dobie 5.33, Kane 5.33

Summer Trip and/or Weekend Away
The vote for the destination/date of next years summer trip chose Budapest as the destination and the date Friday 4th June. I am unable to go on the trip next June and whilst I'm happy to help in booking hotels and researching things to do etc if the trip is to go ahead a volunteer would be needed to organise things once there (excursions, meals etc). If anybody would be prepared to step forward please contact me asap.
I also asked in the survey if there was interest for a weekend based around an away game this season. The response to this was very positive and having discussed this further with a number of members I would now like to gauge interest for a weekend based around our final game of the season at Norwich (Saturday 8th May). I would base this on staying for two nights (Friday7th & Saturday 8th). If anybody wanted to stay longer that could be arranged. If you are interested please let me know by Sunday 29th November, at this stage no committment. I will contact those who have expressed an interest after 29th November with further details.

Brunton Park Diary
Nov 16th (Mon)
Andy Cook returns to the club on crutches after picking up what was originally reported as a badly bruised foot in Barrow’s 2-2 home draw with AFC Wimbledon on the previous Saturday. Cook was substituted at half time having picked up a knock during the first half and leaving a swelling around the damaged area. The injury transpires to be damage to his fifth metatarsal and on full assessment a few days later, it’s confirmed that Cook’s season is unfortunately over. The operation will involve a bone graft with the bone pinned and there’s also likely to be associated tendon damage, thus taking at least five months until he’s back in training.
David Raven undergoes an operation on his injured hip having missed out on first team action since the end of October. MBW sprains ligaments in his knee after twisting it awkwardly in training that morning and is out for about three. The Captain’s armband strain sustained by Thirlwell continues to tie him to the treatment table. Murphy is also set to miss out on the cup reply with a “groin twinge”. Several female volunteers arrive at physio Neil Dalton’s office in order to assist with his treatment and recovery.

MORECAMBE 0 CARLISLE UTD 1 - F.A.CUP ROUND 1 REPLAY
Although not the slickest of performances, Carlisle do just enough to get past their plucky opponents with a fine 5th minute goal from Anyinsah to book a webcast tie against Norwich in the 2nd round. The defence is fortunately less chaotic than the turnstile arrangements as 1,000 Carlisle supporters descend on the tie leaving some 300 still outside when the game kicks-off. The officials miss a nailed-on penalty when Keogh is barged in the back but otherwise, the first non-draw between the two is possibly hard justice on Morecambe.
** Player Ratings: Pidgeley 7, Keogh 7, Livesey 7, Harte 6, Horwood 6, Anyinsah 8 (star man), Clayton 7, Taiwo 7, Kavanagh 6, Robson 7, Pericard 6. Subs: Dobie and Hurst.
Nov 18th (Wed)
YORK CITY YOUTH 1 CARLISLE UTD YOUTH 2 - FA YOUTH CUP RD 2
Although non-league at pro level, the York City youth team are flying high in the equivalent north-east league set up. With the prize of a third round home tie against Stoke City, it’s therefore a good win that sees Carlisle through following first-half goals from Rod-Thomas-o-Like Manny Richardson and Ben McKenna. York, who had a robust, physical approach, scored near the end to set up a nervy finish but the team held out to the end.
Nov 19th (Thu)
The football club confirm that the Environment Agency flood gates have been closed due to ongoing bad weather conditions, thus closing the match day car park until further notice.
Nov 21st (Sat)
BLACKPOOL YOUTH 0 CARLISLE UTD YOUTH 3
Goals from Reid, McKenna and Bowman secure a comfortable victory for the Youth Team and their first double of the season having won 4-0 at home.
CARLISLE UNITED 0 SWINDON TOWN 1
The ground staff work wonders to clear up to 6 inches of standing water from the pitch and then in the words of the Football League Show on BBC 1, “wish they hadn’t bothered”. It’s confirmed later that Keogh and Taiwo were both playing with the effects of an illness that led to their substitution at half-time. It was a poor touch from Taiwo that led to Austin opening the scoring after just 3 minutes. Anyinsah missed a gilt-edged chance to equalise on 13 and despite some near things including a Harte free-kick hitting the woodwork, it was the same old story with Carlisle’s finishing as Swindon held on.
* Player Ratings: Pidgeley 5.5, Keogh 5.25, Livesey 5.25, Harte 5.75, Horwood 6 (star man), Anyinsah 4.75, Clayton 4.75, Taiwo 5, Kavanagh 4.25, Robson 5, Pericard 5.5. Subs: Dobie 5.33, Kane 5.33

A Plea for a Lift
A message from Aidan Wharton in Jersey - " I am keen to get over for the Colchester game on 19th December but would not make it back to Gatwick in time for my return flight due to the time it would take getting back on the train.
I was keen for this match hoping it wouldn't involve another overnight stay for me but the winter flight times mean that there are no later flights available.
If there is a member who has to pass Gatwick on their way home and wouldn't mind giving me a lift back there after the game , I would happily contribute to the fuel bill. " Aidan Wharton slim_ady14@hotmail.com.

Despite the disappointment of blowing a lead both in the supporters match and at Brunton Park, saturday was a great social day for those that made the trip up to Herts. A special thanks to Ryan Wilson and Chris Tembey for their hard work in arranging the day. Four of the next five games are now away which won't help the cashflow but the importance financially of both cup competitions should not be underestimated. It's Norwich at home in the 2nd rd of the FA cup if we can beat Morecambe in the replay.

To be played at Haileybury, Hertford Heath, Herts SG13 7PX.
The idea being:
Game – Showers – Afternoon watching the goals fly in on Soccer Saturday
(OK, this is just an excuse for a game of footy and a social gathering.)
All available players please contact Chris Tembey football@carlislelondonbranch.org ASAP but ALL WELCOME – even if it’s just to join for the afternoon!

Brunton Park Diary
Oct 31st (Sat)
The draw for the 3rd round of the Cumberland Cup sees the Blues drawn away to Wetheriggs United. The game will be played on December at 1.30pm, the time when the first team are away to Gillingham.
CARLISLE UTD 3 CHARLTON ATH 1
The winning bandwagon rolls on with possibly the most impressive performance of the season. Neutrals wouldn’t have picked out which team was lying in 2nd and which was hovering above the relegation zone. The referee manages the rare feat of bemusing and annoying both sets of fans in equal measure. Dobie, 25 yards out and clean in on goal is hauled down by the last defender. Only a yellow is shown. Carlisle attack and as Livesey waits for the ball to drop, a Charlton defender tries to use him as a human step-ladder. No penalty. From the corner, Burton gives his man a gentle nudge. Penalty. Harte scores from the saved rebound. Burton makes amends with a run that ends with Kavanagh’s reckless challenge on the edge of the box. It looks 50/50 to being outside but having just given Carlisle a penalty, you know human nature will see the odds fall in favour of Charlton. Burton duly scores to send them in 1-1. Second half is all Carlisle and Kavanagh enacts his own revenge with two superb long-range strikes.
*Player Ratings – Pidgeley 7.00, Keogh 8.75 (Star Man), Livesey 7.13, Harte 7.75, Horwood 7.25, Hurst 5.88, Taiwo 7.50, Kavanagh 7.06, Robson 7.00, Dobie 7.38, Pericard 7.00.
Nov 1st (Sun)
Yesterday’s victory sinks in. We have finally put one over ginger whinger Nicky Bailey and Charlton to lay a bit of ‘previous’ to rest (the Raven sending off when we were hard on the heels of Swansea in 07/8 and of course, Tolmie-Gate). Woo Hoo! Chris Evans, Anne Robinson, David Caruso, Mick Hucknell, Elizabeth I, the one off Sex and the City that nobody can remember, Paul Scholes, Charlie Dimmock, Julia Roberts we have beaten them all. Ron Weasley, can you hear me? Ron Weasley, can you hear me? Ron Weasley, your boys took one hell of a beating.
Nov 2nd (Mon)
Adam Clayton joins Carlisle United on loan from Man City until January 2. The England Under-20 midfielder, who recently played in the Under-20 World Cup in Egypt, signed a two-year deal in May but has yet to figure in Mark Hughes' senior plans this season.
Greg Abbott commented: "We're really looking forward to working with him. He was on the brink of the first team last season but, with the arrival of the likes of Robinho and Gareth Barry, it has become very competitive. City have been fantastic with us and they see this as an opportunity for their player to come in and help us, by giving us some depth in a key position. He is very similar to Paul Thirlwell in the way that he plays, and he definitely isn't shy when it comes to putting a tackle in. He also has a good range of passing, and we think he will fit in nicely with the way that we want to do things."
Nov 3rd (Tue)
Despite progressing and also fielding new signings such as Offiong, the club are fined £3,000 for not fielding a strong enough team against Morecambe on September 1st in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy. Rule 7.3 states that a minimum of six players who have played in the majority of league and cup games to date (out of 11 presumably) are meant to play any given JPT tie from the beginning. United argued that injuries to first team regulars such as Taiwo and Livesey meant that a change in the starting line up was a necessity. Recent transfer activity involving Kevan Hurst and Richard Offiong also made them natural choices as part of the team. 50% of the fine is payable immediately, with 50% suspended pending future involvement in the competition.
In slightly better news, Tom Taiwo and Adam Clayton are cleared by Chelsea and Man City respectively to play for United in the coming FA Cup tie, if selected.
Nov 4th (Wed)
The night’s BIG cup tie involving the famous team based in Lancashire (in old money) is postponed and re-arranged for next Monday evening. The winners of the Accrington Stanley v Carlisle Utd FA Youth Cup tie will take on York City away in the second round.
