View Full Version : Xpert Eleven-Foot.ie league [NEW TEAMS WELCOME]
Youz couldn't guarantee their safety so they didn't go...our young lads relished the hostile atmosphere...:p
Two defeats at home from two...and to the Students and now Rovers for that matter..the oaps at the Showgrounds must be under pressure from their fans already..;)

Two defeats at home from two...and to the Students and now Rovers for that matter..the oaps at the Showgrounds must be under pressure from their fans already..;)No, our supporters are not fickle. They are in it for the long haul, unlike some, looking for a quick fix;)
The quick fix that produces 11 wins and a draw out of 12 matches, 18 consecutive home games unbeaten, second youngest side, skill 6 in total and the most in form side...oh and who win out wesht. :p
We could even miss a penalty too:D
Looks like your oaps are out of contention already..they mustn't like that;)
Just looked at the record performances in the league and the progression and competition is strong this year.
Best ever home performance was our 6-0 win last week and the two best away performances have come tonight with the Tree Huggers and our win..it'll be close alright this season

Raging I didn't win tonight. Came back from 2-1 down to take the lead then my two best players get sent off and injured:mad:, then concede 2 in the last 5 minutes. Don't have a midfield against Forest now. Already writing off this season and building for next year.

Just looking at my fixtures. My next 4 games are going to be extremly tough and will go a long way towards deciding where I end up this season.
Bbbut you were confident last week..... ;)
Be interesting if the two new managers get going..the ex-Raptors are a strong side

League full of active managers now bar two-surprisingly Patsys Fags and Flynnys Knees. Cork must have lost the internet?:D

Franchise FC are looking forward to getting started tonight... having not scored in the first 5 games :o
Franchise City/Once Were Wanderers/Longford Town/Red and Black Army have inflicted some painful defeats and results on the poor Provos including our heaviest defeat at the time last year, but also two of our heaviest wins...and are a very good team
Mahon Johnston, Mike Crane and Cesar Carlos are well remembered by Provo fans:D
The Fags still have four wins out of five..
Still going strong..thought the skill decay is starting to tell.

Aaaaaaaggghhhhhh...fcukin bogey team strikes again, cheating as always!!!I'm happy with a point, considering the form of both teams. You forgot to mention I also injured yer second best defender. He's out for 10 days:p.
Well hello midtable...how are ya!!!? :(dfx, I think dancinpants is talking to you:D.
Our away results have been astonishing compared to last season...five of our first seven away. Have to stop going 1-0 down early on, dominating possession and chances only to sneak a winner late on :o
Tight between the top four as long and as the Fags continue their form, we could have a new winner..so I'll hope for a point from the Pantywell:)
dfx, I think dancinpants is talking to you:D.
dp, it isn't that bad, you've got a point from the dirtiest, desperate midtable side in the league, the season hasn't collapsed yet :D
Should be a good table topping clash on Saturday..the Tree Huggers and lofty will win regardless of the result:ball:

i dunno my patience is starting to wear thin with this game.... all there is to do is train players and then watch my team lose/win or draw and its more of the 1st then the last 2!!...
it pays off in the end, gilberto - you're the newest side up against experienced sides so far....you've played the current Champions, Sligo, Flynny's Knees and the Provos who've been there from the start.:)

Dissapointed that I didn't get a draw against Forest. Both teams were mainly restricted to chances from set pieces, with their proficiency from these proving the difference. Managed to keep Suir quiet for the whole game and my 17 year old keeper made a solid debut.
When will the cup start?

I had a great start against Ballymote Celtic. Beat them 2-1.
I've just realised how sh!te our fixture list is...five of the first seven away and now our next four games:
A Pants AFC
H lofty's lazy 11
H Landenstown Forest
A Patsy's Fags
:eek:

It should balance out in the end. I've had Provos, Pants, Lofty, Forest and Fags all in a row, but have a run of easy games after. Similar to last season I'll probably end up in a false position in the table then drop off at the end.

Funny you say that Sligoman was in contact with a friend down in Cork who said that they were having trouble with the internet at home so maybe..

This thread has really taken off again since the start of the season, they cut off foot.ie in work and have no interent in the house i rent:mad:
Kean Suir, best signing from the youth team ever!, only cost 30,000, 11 goals in 6 this season. Mans on fire will let him have one quiet game. ;)
Interesting recent tactics from Pants, might try something way different tonight so

Happy with that win. Mind you thats ANOTHER defender out for a few weeks....can't afford anymore injuries at the back. 3 matches in a row that "the one man" hasn't contributed an assist or a goal.
Safe to say experiment over :D
Disappointing to lose our first game in 14 like that

Finally glad to have a run of easy games coming up. I've already played the top 6 and only managed 4/18 points. Aiming for top 6- I'm confident enough of getting that.

He is class. I just wish I got players that good through my youth system. Had to resort to splash out on young players.

Not really a system, every now and again you get a mail giving you the chance to promote a young player (no older that 18 usually) to your squad.

He's pretty good...but he's no Rordán Cobh or Braidy Boyle - Can't believe they cost 60,000econ
GIlberto, you get a youth player offered to you every 30-42 days...I've got a few 20 year olds in my time
sligoman
18/06/2007, 12:23 AM
My best youth player was a 16 year old Ailin Whiteside. A regular in the starting eleven, he's only 17 now.

18/06/2007, 3:12 AM
Best I got was Freddie Boyne, got with a 4 skill level, got a boost up to six after the end of last season - don't know why coz he's sh!te. Scores a hatrick every 3 or 4 weeks, and nothin' in between :rolleyes: . He'll soon be replaced as a favourite by Jarlath Stapelton mind you, promising young player (in the Camoranesi mould ;) )

The company im working in at the moment doesnt take kindly to fantasy leagues so can only log onto it from home when i have the time so that explains a bit of it. Same applies for Knees.
Hoping to land a few transfer targets shortly...not too confident though.:(

I despise playing you away from home. I never win but I never loose by this much either.
To say I am moderatley ****ed off would be an understatement right now.
You did win a friendly last season and you don't have as bad a record as some...to be honest I'd have been happy if I was offered a 1-1 draw
Still can't believe it

Makes two of us but fair play all the same. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come.
