Hattrick

[De Town]

Cool should be a good game, i went for the Boris Mancini fellow for a short while but then logged off, hope he does well for ya
Yeah he seems to be a half decent player. got him for 12k or something like that. He has solid set pieces i think which is what I needed and not a half-bad winger either!

[adamcarr]

I spend a load on a new exellent winger yesterday.

Is everybody playing their back up team in the Foot.ie Cup?

[De Town]

Is everybody playing their back up team in the Foot.ie Cup?
NO!!!! :D

Im going out to win this thing :D

Are you?

[antocurran]

I am, train the trainees and avoid injuries is the plan, maybe up the TSI of some of the other players

[De Town]

How long have you been playing hattrick anto?

[adamcarr]

Are you?
No! I have a fairly reliable back up team. The league is my priority and I have a decent chance of winning it! I have 4 or 5 solid wingers and an exellent one. So I can fit them into wing/wing back positions. I have a high inad keeper and my central defence are solid
and passable. I only really need a new Central midfield and another striker and then my backup team would be able to hold there own in division IV! :D

[antocurran]

Playing since the end of november, its sh*t cool. Yourself? ;)

[adamcarr]

You have a very handy team there! Ive been playing since April of last year!

[De Town]

Late August 2004 i think :o

Its so addictive :D

I just got an absolute bargain there for another exellent winger! :) Im gonna start saving now for a class Inner midfielder and then Ill say Id have a decent chance of promotion!

[Poor Student]

Damn it the form thing can really screw you up. I have an excellent PM, passable passing inner midfielder who on solid form got 3.5 stars. In two weeks dropped to weak form and is now only two stars. His form got heavily butchered. :(

Lads I asked before is there any way I can get into the foot.ie cup?

[pete]

I will be attempting to play backup team in Foot.ie Cup or at very least play bench players & rotate some of first teamers. Might try out some new formations in Foot.ie Cup too.

I'm in season 3 & will be making better effort to have Cup or friendlies every week.

[GK for the Town]

I'm in season 3 & will be making better effort to have Cup or friendlies every week.

I'm only into my second season myself. I know the first season is just getting used to it really & i didnt do that bad considering the team i took over had lost so many games before me, but how did you's find the second season ? I've noticed already that since i boosted my stadium, i have increased my income from gate receipts an awful lot so i might be able to go into the transfer market a bit more (have to wait till i'm out of debt first though).

[antocurran]

I'm happy enough with my team, going to save up and increase the skill level of my GK, DEF and Forwards in that order and just keep traing playmaking as it seems to be working out ok for me. I actually got a semi-decent youth pull there the other day whos an IM so i'm delighted with that. Any of you folks get anybody good?

[Poor Student]

Well I knocked out the Series II side with a stroke of luck and a lot of underestimation on his behalf resulting in me drawing Inter bloody United. I am the worst ranked team left in the cup. :eek:

Fair play! Im out! I lost 6-1 :o But I can safely say now that you are screwed! :D

[adamcarr]

Well if James keeps going in the cup then we will replace him with you.

[James]

Well if James keeps going in the cup then we will replace him with you.

serious managerial mistake
i dropped some of my best players and PIC'd it in the game and lost 2-1
biggest upset of the cup so far .. eeek :(
just missedo ut on ****e loads of revenue too

ah well

[GK for the Town]

Do any of you want to have a friendly next week as an indicator to the teams i'll be up against in this Foot.ie tournament. Its My Ball (32012) are my details. We can play home or away doesnt matter. We could play our best first 11's or our squad teams with a bit of a mixture. :ball:

[antocurran]

If i played your team again its nothing but scoring practice and you'd just cry again!

Long time ago buddy, things have changed !!

[antocurran]

They would of had to change for your sake, what was it again 13-1 aggregate win over the two matches????

I'd say me knocking out the Series II was a bigger upset. I am the worst ranked team left in the cup.

I guess with James out and me still in there's no room in the cup for me?:(

[adamcarr]

Now that James is out the cup can start next week cause everybody in it is out of the cup!

[James]

[Poor Student]

Lads if something screws up count me in after next week if you need a backup.

[antocurran]

I've got a friendly booked in by accident cause i thought it didn't start til the 15th. I've sent a mail to the GM to see if i could cancel it and am awaitnig a reply. If not i don't mind withdrawing from it :(

I don't think that would be necessary to pull out of the whole thing. I think I'm the only backup and I am not available this week anyway.

a come on, that means we are just waiting for you. What is it with you and making mistakes ???? :D

[GK for the Town]

Just had a look @ Murphs Magic's team, i'm gonna get my ass kicked in the first game. Is there any chance of you playing around 8 players and give me a chance ? How much income do you generate from home games ?

[antocurran]

13-1 its as simple as that, and now your making excuses for a match you haven't played yet?????? :eek:

[James]

How much income do you generate from home games ?
600K approx

[GK for the Town]

So do you reckon its worth building up a big stadium now. I think the price is going up in may. i've only got 17,500 myself now. Just worried that if i build it now i wont get the crowd in, is there any indication of how big a crowd i'll get by the amount of supporters i have ?

[GK for the Town]
