Dropping my 10 rated goalkeeper for a 36 year old is doing the trick. Wasn't expecting those last two away results in all honesty. Looks like we'll have to keep our eyes of Looprevil too.
Hmmm 7 - 0 - Hopefully that'll be the last of them 'black'beard argh lol
In fairness, Looprevil came from behind twice and despite dominating possession and maybe Davidsson missing, it was a strong side in form which just failed at the back. Next is a possible backlash from the Starlets..could be rough times ahead. We got away with drawing 2-2 against Burton at home early last season though..
Maybe lofty will run Alberts hard this season, very very interesting game next up - Landenstown Forest at home to Flynny Alberts...very hard to call such is Forest's home record.
Afraid not, can't play friendlies because we're playing two games a week.Quote:

I put four goals past him last season at home- hopefully more of the same to come!!!Quote:

In fact, I reckon that he has deliberately set his team out to draw tonight to lull us all into a false sense of hope that they will not be a threat this year. Be warned Lofty - he's already started playing the mind games with us...:pQuote:

Hm. Very convenient:D;)Quote:

Anyone else been caught out trying to sell an older player? Comes up under their estimated value:
Tried to sell Perzon and Astrand but can't.:mad:Quote:
The player wants to end the career in this club and does not want to change club.
Nearly every season man!! Actually I had to sack Tom Pickford this morning for that very reason.Quote:

It happens to players 30 and over. It used to be that they retire at the end of the season when you tried to transfer list them, but it's changed now to not wanting to leave the club. Either way, you're left with them until you sack them. I thought Simon Naas would be one of these, but no, he was intent on playing on..
Not happened at The Empress yet, but at the moment in another private league, I have three players like that...and one is only 29:mad:
Nah, doesn't let you bid on them.Quote:

Glad with the amount of draws, allowed me to make up some ground on the others. Up to third now with a tough game Tuesday. Nice late comeback by Block G too, 3-0 down and managed a draw.
Starlets 0-1 Provos
Forest 1-2 Alberts
UCD 2-2 Loftys
Cobh 2-6 Looprevil
Pants 3-1 Burton
Good comeback by Lofty from 2-0 down. First match of the challenge next week..... :o .
ALL my goals today came from my forwards!!! New boy Jurjen van der Weijden gettin 2 of them. And the other new lad scoring in his second game. Midfield and defence played more like they did last season, and I'm starting to arrest the form crisis. :)
Dug out the win thanks to Maynooth and assist no.70 for Boyle 8 minutes from time
I'd say it's been a long time since we've been away and been the only side to keep a clean sheet.. a very long time:D
Ah balls, just looked at the squad again, 3 injured and won't recover in time for the match at Loftys :mad:
Institute it is for you then:pQuote:
