Well done to Dfx for winning the league.
Jeepers, it's set up for some last day in D2. It'd have been even better if Athletico had not thrown that game.... BOOOOOO.

It'll be some last day:
Finn Tigers vs. Dún Déalgan
The Lilywhites vs. Centremids Seagulls
Cobh Ramblers vs. Atlético Bray
Any of those five can still go up with us.

If the UCD manager is inactive, you can't lose...you'll probably be awarded a W/O as they now have two first teamers suspended and two are injured (mightn't be recovered in time).
Another sh!t result for us. My three forwards were awful, and got WAYYYY below skill ratings. Weijden will never hit another peno for us again - could swear I said that before though.
Congrats dfx, and all the promoted teams so far.

Anyone fancy posting the premier division results? I didn't get online last night and I can't access it in work.
Congrats to Dfx too, a well deserved title.

Firstly to congratulate Athletico gaining promotion and the Bridesmaids getting to the chapel again! Saturday in the Second looks a cracker - top six play each other, and all but Athletico playing to go up - Super Saturday there!
Congrats to Bluebeard on winning the division:(.
GAH. Typical ambition-free Sligo Rovers. We're level on points and both have a game to go. You'd think I was ten points clear. Look at the top of the table:
--------------- Pd W D L F - A GD PTS
1 Gates of Steel 17 12 4 1 42-17 25 40
2 Sligo Rovers F.C. 17 13 1 3 39-18 21 40
Games left:
Gates of Steel - Lilywhite Exiles
Great Northern Railway - Sligo Rovers F.C.
B*gger all between us - only four goals on GD. Sligo are pretty good away, GNR are in the bottom three at home in the division. Sligo could accumulate a lot of goals here and top us. But is Sligoman going to do the typical foot.ie league thing of deciding "Well, we can't win this, so we'll just get match experience in", and be satisfied with nothing.
It is my genuine belief (without the aid of VIP) that we were the third strongest team in the division at the beginning of the season. And we were definitely the weakest in the top flight both times, when we stayed up and when we were within a game of survival. It appears that there is a lot to be said for the sheer bull-headed persistent attempt to win every game.
Sligo Rovers really should have won something in this league by now; they have been good enough in the past and if nothing else been in the First long enough between the two spells - why not this season? It's not too late to believe in your team Sligoman - we could slip up and only draw. I believe that Sligo can win it if we drop the ball - so should you!

We're not in the bottom 3. We are currently lying in safely in midtable. For that I might just throw out a weak team:p

Tut tut Infadel - read what you highlit - bottom three at home - the games when your team plays in its home stadium and the other team is away. Ye're no pushovers, but statstically speak you've failed to do as well at home as all bar two of the other teams in the division.
And I might just put out a weak team too, just so that your defeat will have had next to no impact on the direction of the title, and I will have really lost it rather than you have given it! Two can play at this game;)

Are you really willing to risk losing the money prize.
Is there prize money related to your finish?

3rd Place: 250000 econ
Can't see me getting any of that to be perfectly honest, form is poor and it'll probably be a case of trying to keep the score down.

St..stt....stttt...stuttered over the line in the end. Certainly not a comfortable last few weeks with the hackers at the bottom :p Won the league as much as the UCD dynasty now did I think..

I can see where you're coming from, but there's 500,000 econ at stake. 1m econ for top of each league and 500,000 for second place.
Really looking forward to tonight's game. My home record is poor though so we'll be underdogs going in to this.

As strong a team as possible actually. :o My players are a bunch of mercenaries though, I don't use a win bonus and they don't bother their hole..
So when does the next season start? And when exactly do players gain or lose skill?
Going to be very hard to stop Cobh next year, considering their incredible form since the new man came in!

The new season starts whenever Sligoman picks a date.
The change report is tomorrow I think. It might be Tuesday though.

Welcome Quay Celtic F.C,
The change report is tomorrow I think. It might be Tuesday though.
Yep, done at 5am two days after the last fixtures in all leagues.
Ours was..ok. Took a big hit with the injuries and suspensions and draws/defeats at the end. 9 visible though. Disappointed with Babayaro and Bursic not increasing, but happy with Gyllensten and Dolan. And Breen still refuses to increase.

What's the story with boostings?
What are they? And are they needed?
Boostings - Increased skill bars?
Yes they are critical and are based on the average form of the players through the season, below 10 skill decreases, above 10 increases. Average form of at least 14 should get an increased bar.
Really good Change Reports are 13-15 visible increases - a 23 year old 6 skill bar player becomes a 24 year old 7 skill bar. A couple of seasons of that sort of change report and a side in mid-table in the lowest division would quickly find themselves in the top division.
superfrank
28/09/2009, 2:52 PM
I thought there was a fuss about boostings before the last season. Doesn't the league admin have to add them in for promoted sides?
passinginterest
28/09/2009, 3:00 PM
I think that's boosting the skill of the new teams so they end up with the average skill of the existing teams. It doesn't really seem necessary with the 3 divisions as it gave the new teams a chance to bed in naturally.
