Carlisle United fans are in positive spirits after the victory over Cumbrian rivals Barrow.

Supporters gave us their views on Twitter after the 2-1 win sent Paul Simpson's side 12 points clear of relegation trouble.

Here is a selection...

Said after the Swindon fiasco we needed six wins, now have five - couldn’t see where one was coming from, but thanks Simmo. Ffantastic result, two great goals and the worst away end in history (@matty017)

Professional win. Never in doubt. Simmo knows what he is doing. (@LEEROTHERHAM)

Awful game but three points (@canoeblue)

Brilliant three points in what was a scrappy game when neither team seemed to manage the wind very well. Two well taken goals, and Howard was unlucky when ball fell for Banks. Hope Callum Guy is OK. The Blues are staying up. Five out of six ain't bad, Simmo. (@ericgreen866)

Chuffed for Kristian Dennis to get his goal and another for Jordan Gibson as we move up the league tonight. Sounded a poor watch but the best team won it seems from what I can glean from that commentary. (@LindaNi121202)

Won pretty v Northampton, won ugly today. Was never gonna be a humdinger of a game but the result is all that matters. T'ra for another 56 years Barrow (@dougrmurphy)

Long live the king. Only professional club in Cumbria go marching on. (@k200494)

Twelve points from danger now so can relax a little bit. Three wins on the road on the bounce, 15 from 18. The buzz is back.... (@Bjafn_cufc)

One word. Safe. (@SamTJohnston24)

Excellent. Ugly game of football, won the first ball, won the second ball then had the players to punish a poor Barrow team. Pity we could not celebrate the goals as we were stuck in the home end. (@MartinCrellin1)

Is it too late for the playoffs?! (@ChrisGraves19)

Give him the freedom of Carlisle (@DeanCarson92)

Not an easy watch, but we ground out another three points. What's not to like about that. Simmo is top man. (@peterjo91525330)
