Carlisle (H) League 1- Saturday 11th August 2007

[Neil Ravenscroft]

Where was the pace in last years side? You know, the one that somehow managed to win the league. :wink:

I though one of the main aims of the game of football was to pass the ball, rather than run with it. That, as a line up, will pass the ball far, far better than last year. Pace is not everything (and can be a red herring - look at Mark Rees - fastest thing on two legs and a sh*** footballer - or Evran Wright)

[Jolly Johnny]

Butler again, why ?????

I really think Butler will perform tommorow,

What, the fandango?

More like the funky chicken

As long as it isn't the dying fly...

[Cannock]

You are right Neil. That side is capable of passing far.

I completely agree. Hence the element of sarcasm in my post. Pace is a waste of time if you can't utilise it properly.

You actually argued against your own point there

Rees may not have been the greatest footballer in the world, but he was quick, bloody quick. He caused problems to teams, and he also scored a lot of goals from midfield

*edit*

The aim of football is to score more than the opposition, not pass the ball

Which we do well because of our defensive set up. :P

[Magic Man Fan]

Butler on the bench today. He's been unwell and hasn't recovered enough to start.

Bit earl in the season for any worthwhile stat's :wink:

I'm told though that the line up Vs Vile was pretty much todays starting line up

[Duke]

Remind Dave Dean , preview posts before submitting :oops:

[latviancheese]

[jeffsmate]

2-0 To the super saddlers,
mooney and dobson,

[Four Oaks Saddler]

3-1. Sonner, Mooney & Fox.

[Magic Man Fan]

3-1. Sonner, Mooney & Fox.

He's got a powerful shot has Fox but he's unlikely to score from as far away as the halfway line. :P

[VanZant]

Walsall 0 - ? Carlisle

1 point is the best we can hope for.
No cutting edge without Ish.

[toffo]

Goal by Tommy Mooney (Walsall) left-footed (bottom-right of goal) from centre of penalty area (18 yards).Walsall 1-1 Carlisle. Assist (pass) by Michael Dobson (Walsall) from left channel.

[Exile]

Attendance - a respectable 6,933.

[SaddlerSteve]

Dongs were 1-0 up against Bury but they've conceded a penalty which was scored and now they're 2-1 down at home.
Scorer of both goals....................one Andy Bishop.
And they've now had a player sent off!! :lol:


And i just noticed the Wheelbarrow has scored!! :shock:

[Exile]

Shame for Dung!

Nicholls on for Hall.

[Exile]

Deeney on for Carneiro.

Thank heck for half time, BTW.

[Exile]

MOTM Wrack.

Seems like even the commentary team are in Summer holiday mode still. Not sure that match was worth getting out of bed for.

[Neuromantic]

Im looking forward to the reaction! I dont know how you other exiled saddlers cope! Ive been a nervous wreck last 2 hours!!!

Need. to. know. more. !!!

I'll be interested too. Seems from Mick & Co that Ince played a stormer, Wrack's first half was the best, Mooney's goal quality, Fox's play poor and Dann & Gerrard both improved as the game went on. It didn't sound great, but not too surprised as this team will take a bit of time to shake down in a competitive situation due to all the changes.
