@BronzeBomber @Tyson_Fury Funny how you’ve waited until now to show yourself once the contract agreement has expired. Also still plugging that glove theory - so your trainer allowed that to happen as he watched the gloves being put on right? Just admit you were beaten by the better boxer

Questions for Simmo @bbccumbriasport 1. Why has he not addressed the basic issues from last season? 2. Why is he persisting with Harry Lewis? 3. What’s the point in bringing Kelly and Armstrong on at 4-1 down?

I’ve called for his head for weeks but it doesn’t make the outcome any easier. A good man who has given us some of our best times but this couldn’t go on. His reluctance to change has cost him in the end. The Piataks backed him heavily and had to act. Who would you go for?

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion but some of the managerial expectations for Carlisle are a tad unrealistic. Don’t want him he was rubbish at Rotherham. Don’t want him he was dreadful at Stoke. We’re in league two people.

I’m going to criticise the club here. You’ve brought a player up, put them through a medical but then rejected the loan late in the day because of fear over whether he’ll be fit then gone chasing other options. You’d have known he was carrying an injury before a medical. Poor.

Final point on the Simmo debate. The Piataks investment is fantastic but it’s pointless if fans don’t come to watch. Any club suffering the season we did last year wouldn’t be getting 9k still and consistently 7k + last season. That goodwill won’t last forever.
