o/t Coleman whinging about Carlisle

[Keith]

Coleman moaning because Carlisle are playing on neutral grounds instead of playing in wellington boots. If Accrington's ground isn't playable, why not play their games at Blackburn or Preston too? Personally, I'd be more than happy never to go to Accrington again!

[mrpotatohead]

He should be called "'Accringtons child''.

[outsider]

I think he has a point.

Us, Accy and others have to play Sat, Tue, Sat, Tue, due to postponements.

I think the big difference between Carlisle's position and Accrington's recent postponements are that it is known weeks in advance that Carlisle's pitch is unplayable and Accrington's games are usually postponed about half an hour before kick-off. They could hardly relocate to Blackburn on the day of the match.

He's just bitter because he hadn't thought of it sooner!

It only affects home games, so Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday , Boxing Day

Must be a local school with a pitch going free?

Needless to say (and rightly so IMHO) the Carlisle fans are none too happy about his statement:

Neither were BBC Radio Cumbria as I listened to that station this morning driving to work in order to listen to the updates on yet more flooding the residents have endured.

Carlisle are away at Accy on Boxing Day. Hope you're ready for the abuse Coley.

[mrpotatohead]

He is actually right in the fact it isn't fair, it is a bit different to our situation though, a bit of gamesmanship before they play at Accy?

[BoroRedShrimp]

Not much they can do in their situation, unless they are expected to play water polo. They have to play their matches so don't see a problem with that. Bit of ignorance considering people have lost their homes and businesses because of the floods.

What a narrow-minded moron John Coleman is.

I bet if the shoe was on the other foot, Accrington would try and do exactly the same.

Exactly. Is he hoping/expecting Carlisle to play three games a week come April and be too knackered to finish the season? Given the situation in Carlisle, with people's lives in turmoil, a bit of understanding wouldn't go amiss instead of default moaning. Prat.

[Seasider9601]

This statement on the Carlisle forum hit the nail on the head for me:

Even in its current state Brunton Park is better than the shit hole they call home.

[Seasider9601]

A "loose" apology issued by Coley, but he still can't resist having a rant and putting his point over:
