LMAO beaten 3-1 away to Burton :D
Alvarsson (great in the air) 7 rated, went into the match with an upward form trend, and form of 15....produced a 6 rated display. Hence Burtons two headed goals. Thilderkrist, 6 rated, form trend level, form of 17 - had a 5 rated display. Jaysus but this game makes no sense sometimes :D
Congratulations Bluebeard again..with the absent defeats, the draw against Sligo really nailed our coffin shut.
Tight game, was hoping to hold out for a draw with some ME-based changes and there will be plenty more for the rest of the season. Hope to hold onto second now..:o

Looking at the players who need match time for ME, you should be able to roll us over :p
Have you not faith in our capabilities? :mad:;)Quote:

Think I will get relegated now. Good to injure Bluebeard's keeper tonight though:D
Definitely, but not in ours :DQuote:

Bleerin' Sligo. Only ever try 5-3-2 against us and still have conceded 7 goals to us this season. Not one attempt on goal to our 21. Their chief triumph against us (aside "holding" us to seven goals)? Injuring the best keeper in the league. And yet they might still stay up: Wexford or Burts have to get a win against Pants, Provos, Landenstown or us to help the ethnic cleansing of the division.
Incidentally, the injury ensures that Dick Brush stays one place above Crane on the table of the all time most valuable keepers in the 10 seasons of the Foot.ie league. Needless to say, neither are anywhere near Arturo Aristizábal, who is third out of all players.
Back to what matters, and I in no way believe that the title is won yet, and I am sure that dfx doesn't either. As for UCD's trick up the sleeve, I worry - they will be the next big team to keep the Provos as bridesmaids, if they get their heads sorted. Being held by the bottom team is not how to be in the top four.
Roll on Saturday, without the best keeper in the league, and let's see what Pants can do in the biggest game of the weekend!
I do think it's over. Absolutely, completely over.
Back to the best man role again...although we were the groom once, but loooong since divorced. :)
Changed my mind slightly and went for something a bit...unorthodox to say the least. Have a feeling it will either be a masterstroke or result in a thrashing...Quote:

Title race also going to the end. Good season overall.
Holidaysong FC have sneaked into the promotion places at the right time in the season. Both my remaining games are away from home though and my goalkeeper has been injured.. :(
Surprise win to take second. To think we would be two home wins from the title had we beaten Sligo of all teams at home :mad:
One goal in the difference between Burton and Sligo, so maybe no more points required :D
Oh please :rolleyes: You do realise Burton beat us last time out? THAT was a surprise...losing to a slightly understrength Provos isn't. Especially givin' our form collapse, and my other keeper also putting in a sub par performance despite 14 form and upward form trend.Quote:

Goal disallowed just before half time which would have made it 2-0 going into the break. If that had stood doubt there would have been a way back for the Alberts. No chances for them in the second half until after 80 minutes when they got two, and took the second.
Two wins in my remaining games will get a top 4 place for the first time in four seasons. Top 2 definitely the aim next season, although change report won't be as good as other years.
One win at home to youz in five seasons with a stronger team out says different.:pQuote:

I'd say tactical masterstroke, Dman, ye nearly held on, despite us haveing the lion's share of the game. 90= minute game though, and we tend to be better in the latter stages.
Two games left, a point in it - tense days ahead. The Burts can decide the outcome as they have both ourselves and the Provos ahead - they probably need a point to survive, or at least a better set of defeats than Sligo. We've the Starlets and the Provos have Wexford, who are also painfully close safety. Indeed, any two of three can go down, and Starlets can on paper stay up - just.
Mathematically, in a convoluted way, Lofty's are up, but the next two spots could go to any from 4! My money would be on the Harps - too close with the others though.
It's out of our hands and the goal difference kills us. Anyone care to suggest honestly Alberts are likely to drop points..? :p
Provisional SRFC - Burton Albion FC 5 - 1 (3 - 0)
UCD AFC - Drunk Babysitters 1 - 1 (0 - 1)
Sligo Starlets - Flynny Alberts 0 - 6 (0 - 3)
Pants AFC - Wexford Boys 3 - 2 (2 - 1)
Landenstown Forest - Sligo Rovers F.C. 4 - 1 (1 - 1)
Blow out wins for the top two. Can't see Alberts slipping up at home in fairness. Looks like it'll finish with just the one point separating them. Hoping UCD can atleast nick a draw against Forest, thus gauranteeing us 3rd.
Lucky today, nabbed a 90th minute winner. but time Thilderkvist put ina decent match. And once again my keeper was below his rating despite going into the match with current form of 17. :rolleyes:
Hows the form change looking for y'all at the moment. Some players look good for me as of today, others just m'eh. Stapleton might become a 10, Alvarsson an 8, Cansund an 8, Sjolunds form is 18 so he should be 6 (if not 7), Janson up to 6, Thilderkvist poss 7, Weijden poss 8. Camoranesi will drop to atleast a 9. That could all change though between now and the final whistle at Sligo.
You horrible, horrible man. A draw would have probably seen me survive, now I'm down. :(
