First we lost 5-1, last time out it was 3-0 by half time, will it be closer tonight?

Not likely :D

[Cici900]

[biscuit]

Have you already signed 20 - max of 20 players in your squad I'm afraid.

[passinginterest]

I registered on this ages ago but never really got into it. I noticed an invitation to join the foot.ie league and accepted. I don't have a team of my own though, not sure how that works?

[sligoman]

I've just approved your application now passinginterest, thanks for joining. 20 teams for the new season now so I'm happy to put the season in place. Think 2 divisions[10 in each] has won it, everyone ok with that? 2 divisions, 1 league match a week with a cup[or 2] in place too?

[Cici900]

Agree

[dfx-]

2 divisions, 1 league match a week with a cup[or 2] in place too?

Two games definitely:ball:

[sligoman]

League is already put in place dfx. Apologies but thought most people wanted a cup this season?

[dfx-]

I've just noticed...where did all those teams come from?:eek:

We'll need more than one cup

[sligoman]

I've just noticed...where did all those teams come from?:eek:My recruitment drive:p

We will have a few cups alright.

[dfx-]

Your what? :p

Looks like the ideal split..should be an interesting relegation fight:eek:

[gilberto_eire]

you can take me out for this season(if you already havent) gonna give it a miss!!

[dancinpants]

Sligoman thanks for the laugh dude. As soon as I seen your offer for Stapleton I nearly fell of the seat laughing. E350,000 for a E4,500,000 rated 19 year old midfielder with a 6 skill. Quality. :D

The relegation battle is gonna be savage this season. I still haven't got my players up to form. So it could be an interesting season for Pants :o

[Bluebeard]

Yee-oww - games 3, 4, 5 and 6 against the top four from last year:eek:. I'll have to hope that last year's run carries that bit further.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Relegation does look very interesting this year. Workington are certain to go down I'd imagine and I probably will but after that it could be anyone, bar Loftys, Provos and Alberts imo.

[sligoman]

[biscuit]

have u all paid to be VIP members lads...just like the premiership, the rich get rich while the poor get worser off-er:D bastads!!!! :p

[dancinpants]

Bad pre season for me, 2 defeats and a draw. Still can't beat Sligo to save me life :mad: . That new lad upfront for you lot looks handy Sligoman. Everyone would do well to keep an eye on him.

[biscuit]

not a bad result for the starlets tonight...Loftys lazy 11 came from behind to get a draw at home...bring on the league!!

[dfx-]

Hmmm...a mediocre pre-season. Good in that we had no problem putting Cobh away with our second side, but then 3 defeats on the road, though the last two were by an odd goal. Ok performances from Libergetti, Silverspjut and outstanding from Cobh, but Valentia didn't play and Boyle is struggling for form so far.

Think we might need to dust down our first team immediately to try get a decent start:o Not the easiest of trips either.

[Bluebeard]

Don't worry, Biscuit, we're in the top division without recourse to VIP status, and according to Dman, one of the favourites to, eh, not go down! Based on your spirited showing against us and Loftys, you might make it one day soon.

[biscuit]

Bluebeard,

In our time of need, my squad and I find great solice in your kind words.

:D:D

Loftys Lazy 11 7-4
Flynnys Alberts 2-1
Sligo Rovers F.C. 9-4
Landenstown Forest 5-1
Patsys Fags 10-1
Pants AFC 14-1
Provisional SRFC 25-1
Burton Albion FC 50-1
UCD AFC 150-1
Workington AFC 200-1

Based it on strength of each team. Place your bets lads:p.

[DmanDmythDledge]

The strength of each team is a bit misleading as it's for the whole squad so not a full reflection of how good each team is; eg Provos and my record against you.;):p Here's mine for what it's worth:

Loftys Lazy 11 7/4
Flynny Alberts 19/10
Provisional SRFC 2/1
Patsys Fags 6/1
Pants AFC 15/2
Landenstown Forest 12/1
Burton Albion FC 30/1
Sligo Rovers F.C. 40/1
UCD AFC 60/1
Workington AFC 120/1

[Cici900]

Workington AFC 120/1Wouldn't bet with you...my odds far more realistic:p, although I admit shams should be even bigger odds than what I put them at:D.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Yeah, I'd have you as favourites.;) No pressure now.:p

I'll have 20euros on the provos to win then :ball::p

[sligoman]

I'll have 20euros on the provos to win then :ball::pOk, you can pay me in the Brandywell next season when the losers fail to deliver a league, yet again:p.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Ok, you can pay me in the Brandywell next season when the losers fail to deliver a league, yet again:p.
Each way to be sure.;)

[dfx-]

I'd say youz are absolute certainties if you play your cards right...hard to judge how the new managers are going to do..some look experienced enough. Franchise City would crawl the league if they had an active manager and probably be in the top five of the top division, but they don't.

Loftys Lazy 11 1/2 fav
Flynny Alberts 5/2
Provisional SRFC 3/1
Landenstown Forest 13/2
Pants AFC 10/1
Patsys Fags 12/1
Burton Albion FC 25/1
UCD AFC 40/1
Sligo Rovers F.C. 80/1
Workington AFC 100/1

That looks about right. We don't have the strongest squad at first glance, but we've managed to do alright;)

I'd put €500 on lofty's lazy 11 if a bookie offered me 7/4 :D

[Bluebeard]

Thatś a fair whack of pressure your putting on my Alberts there lads!

I am now regretting changing the team name:(

[Leejo]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, why cant i challange people to friendlies?

[sligoman]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, why cant i challange people to friendlies?Theirs 1 more space for a friendly before the season starts so you should be able to. Maybe the person you're challenging has a friendly already set-up with someone else?

[steno]

I'll put 50 on Loftys Lazy 11 and a tenner on my own team as a outside bet.:cool:

Anyone care to give the relegation odds a shot??:D

[Cici900]

Yer puttin a fair bit o' pressure on me tooo

[sligoman]

Final pre-season result for me tonight:

Burton Albion 1-3 Sligo Rovers F.C.

Another hat-trick for Thorvald...roll on the new season:cool:

[dfx-]

Bizarre game at the Empress tonight:eek:

Biggest match for me in two years of the game in all clubs tomorrow and a fight to stave off relegation away to the next best team in the Master League..:(

[biscuit]

biscuits boys the starlets have rounded off their pre season with a resounding 4-0 victory over cobh ramblers....the cobh bus got robbed outside mcsharry park to make matters worse!bring on the new season, and a cup game againt the other Sligo...theres only room for 1 of us!:D;):D

[sligoman]

theres only room for 1 of us!:D;)Yes and we are the ones with Premier status...enjoy the graveyard league;).

[dancinpants]

I see most of us lost a managerial skill box in the foot.ie league. I'm now 6 instead of seven. Anyone know why? :confused:

[Bluebeard]

I'm a 7 now, having been a 5 I think. Probably owing to me being a far better manager than the rest of you;)

I'm a 7 now, having been a 5 I think. Probably owing to me being a far better manager than the rest of you;)I'm a 7 now too, think I was a 6. Maybe it's just you who lost out cos ye are Pants...in more ways than 1;) :D.

[steno]

ditto on the 7 rating, I'm nearly sure I was a 6 last season.

I have a 8 or 9 rating with my team in whatever expert league I am in can't remember the name of the top of my head

[dancinpants]

I'm a 7 now too, think I was a 6. Maybe it's just you who lost out cos ye are Pants...in more ways than 1;) :D.

You were an 8 ya plank. Coz you, steno and Dmandmyth were all rated higher than me when I was a 7 ;) . I'm almost certain that Lofty and dfx were 9 aswell.
