Automatic promotion is impossible now, but finishing below Mansfield is improbable. Let’s prepare for the promotion play-offs. Losing Mellish for three matches because of a moment of stupidity will hurt.

Mansfield Town can only oust the Blues from the play-off places if they win at Colchester, Carlisle lose at Sutton and there is also a goal difference swing of eight.

It doesn’t matter how disappointing this feels, Carlisle have massively exceeded expectations this season. Everyone thought we would be in the relegation fight back in July, maybe lower mid table if we were lucky. FiveThirtyEight had us finishing bottom.

Oh wow they’ve adapted the malicious compliance, quiet quitting and the old fashioned general internet tomfoolery thing from the americans.

Carlisle made it into the promotion playoffs.

Two games against Bradford City now, next Sunday at Valley Parade then at Brunton Park in two weeks time.

Meanwhile

Franchise FC are going to have to play against the real Wimbledon next season :laughing:

Clapton CFC are champions, but have to wait for the FA report on whether the Old Spotted Dog is up to stadium standards to get promoted

And more locally to where I live now

former Star-Telegram sports writer Jim Reeves is tweeting out some more details. Reeves, who wrote a book about Kohlhausen’s time at TCU, says he is in critical condition in ICU at Brooke Army Medical Center outside San Antonio after a horrible hunting accident that has left him with life-threatening and potentially debilitating injuries.

Friends say Kohlhausen was hunting hogs from a helicopter and fell out from a height of perhaps 60 feet.

Also wear your damn seatbelt- or harness - whatever they use in a helicopter.

Horrible thing to happen but why do some people have to enact their “Nam fantasies of being a door gunner where the victims can’t fire back?

Bonus points: if you are slaughtering from a helicopter no you don’t need to have guns to hunt “for food”. You need them to perform toxic masculinity cult worship.
