My added commentary encouraging Jay to go on

[Newcastle Blue Star FC @nbsfc2018]

Taken like a seasoned pro. 🤝

Our third goal of our semi-final victory, cooly converted by Jay Richardson in the 92nd min, with 9 men on the pitch, having defended with our backs to the wall for the previous 20min. ⭐️

Brilliant assist from Steva who was involved in absolutely everything yesterday. 🪄

[Newcastle Blue Star FC @nbsfc2018]

What. It. Means. 💙

Absolutely mental day, but we once again show outstanding character and come out on top. ⭐️

10 wins in a row, a season brought back to life, and a group we couldn't be prouder of. 👏

Thank you for your brilliant backing on the road. 🛣️

One more to go.....🏆👀

[Ian Gilmour-Ivens @bigehgi]

Class win, thoroughly deserved

This group. 😍

9 wins on the bounce, and into the semis we go. 👀

[Newcastle Blue Star FC @nbsfc2018]

And that concludes the 25/26 league campaign. 🔵⭐️

Results elsewhere today mean that we finish 6th, one place & 3pts outside the play off zone. 👀

Full focus now on the league cup, as we travel to Prudhoe to take on Newcastle University in the quarter-finals on Tuesday.

A massive thank you to all of our incredible supporters, sponsors, partners, suppliers, volunteers, clubhouse staff, players, coaches & backroom staff - it's been a wild old season, with a near magical ending. ✨

Hopefully 3 more games to go this season. 🔜

An incredible effort by this special group to reignite our season and take it to the last weekend. 💙

Worn the badge with pride, and given it their all. 🤝

[Ian Gilmour-Ivens @bigehgi]

@CarlisleCityFC Well, this has backfired. I don't understand what your actualcomplaint about the ref is? Tell me one controversial incident that went against you? If anything, you were lucky you weren't down to 10 men in the first 10 mins with elbow that may have broke our CH nose

A final Saturday outing in NE15. 💙

This season has thrown up a little bit of everything; changes on and off the pitch, horrific weather, good results & bad results, but none of it would have been possible without the continued passion, enthusiasm and time shown & put in by our volunteers & team behind the scenes. 🤝

Certainly not captured everyone here, but just some of the team who make it happen. 👏

Legends each and every one. 🫡

[Stu’s Football Flashbacks @stusfootyflash]

Fascinating BBC Sportsnight interview from this day in 1988 with Brian Clough.

Here he talks about being denied the chance to manage Wales alongside Forest, and why he was never given the England job.

Forever a missed opportunity.

[Newcastle Blue Star FC @nbsfc2018]

Outstanding save by our #1! ❌

A crucial save at 0-0 yesterday to keep the scores level, before the lads went on to score 3 and keep our clean sheet in tact. ⛔️

Great work, Lister. 🧤
