It wasn't quite a repeat of his last visit to Brunton Park.
This time Harry McKirdy had to settle for a point with Swindon Town and Carlisle United.
And the forward, who failed to find the net in the 1-1 draw, appeared to be happy his latest reunion with the Blues was over.
"Positives are we don't have to come back here again," wrote the 25-year-old on Instagram after the Brunton Park clash.
The latest game came six months after he starred in Swindon's 3-0 win at Carlisle in February - a result which triggered the departures of Keith Millen and David Holdsworth, and the return of Paul Simpson.
Carlisle's manager had called on Blues fans not to "light the touchpaper" by abusing McKirdy this time around and firing him up.
And initially supporters appeared to go along with Simmo's wishes - sarcastically applauding McKirdy down the tunnel after the warm-ups.
The frontman, who has made little secret of his dislike of Carlisle since his 2019/20 spell with the Blues, saw Jacob Wakeling give the visitors the lead.
He did not celebrate the goal as elaborately as he had the Robins' three in February, as he joined the visiting players in a huddle.
After Kristian Dennis shot Carlisle level, meanwhile, McKirdy was thwarted in his bid to inflict more damage on his former club.
The ex-Aston Villa man found Jon Mellish a stubborn defensive opponent when he attacked in the second half, with Jack Armer also making solid challenges to deny McKirdy.
McKirdy had two reasonable sights of goal, but saw one attempt saved by keeper Tomas Holy and then shot into the side-netting.
He was booed at various stages by Blues fans, while travelling Swindon supporters sang his name.
McKirdy played the full game and on occasions, showing some bright touches in the second half in the visitors' best attacking spells.
He also failed to win decisions from ref Andrew Kitchen and his assistants when he went down under challenges and appealed for fouls.
All in all, though, the latest reunion passed relatively quietly - by McKirdy's standards, anyway.
