"We"??? Who is "we"? Are you admitting to being a Cumbrian? As for Carlisle not being sure where it belongs...rubbish. We are most firmly in England and where else in England is there a still-to-be-repealed ancient local by-law making it legal, almost a requirement, to beat a Scotsman for walking the street after dusk? We, Cumberland, in recognition of our economic, intellectual and cultural superiority rightly absorbed the lesser Westmorland, a chunk of Yorkshire and a bit of that county you are nominally part of...what is it...Lanacashire? As far as we in Carlisle is concerned, Barrow is the world's largest cul-de-sac and they affiliate themselves more with those people of lesser standing below the demarcated line near Clitheroe.
I think our regional and national identity has been established through wars, uprisings seiges and reiverdom more firmly than that of Preston which, let's face it, is essentially West Yorkshire in all but name.
Yes, I enjoyed the match very much except that 4 minutes added time during which you were lucky to grab an equalizer. The match was reasonably balanced but I do think we had the edge (the stats say the same) but by the same token, I'd say our man of the match was Adam Collin. His save in the first half that would have given you a third could have killed it off for us. I have to admit that your ground is a little better than ours but your concourse is very narrow and not really capable of dealing with the numbers we brought and who drank you dry.
