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.

Don't warn them;). Just cos he got a hat-trick on his debut doesn't mean he's good:p :cool:.Quote:

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.
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.
Bluebeard,
In our time of need, my squad and I find great solice in your kind words.
:D:D
I am available for the position of Online Coach & General Guru (part-time) if need be. I offer favourable rates.Quote:

Based it on strength of each team. Place your bets lads:p.
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
What about 1st divisiopn odds. Th8ink i have a chance??
Wouldn'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.Quote:

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
Thatś a fair whack of pressure your putting on my Alberts there lads!
I am now regretting changing the team name:(
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?Quote:

Anyone care to give the relegation odds a shot??:D
Yer puttin a fair bit o' pressure on me tooo
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:
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..:(
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
Yes and we are the ones with Premier status...enjoy the graveyard league;).Quote:

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;)Quote:

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
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.Quote:

Workington AFC 0-2 Loftys lazy 11
UCD AFC 2-2 Provisional SRFC
Burton Albion FC 2-1 Flynny Alberts
Pants AFC 3-0 Patsys Fags
Landenstown Forest 3-1 Sligo Rovers F.C.
Happy enough with that start. :D
Can't complain myself and all my players came out unscathed from sligomans bruising tactics:cool:
Outside of lofty, we were the only side to get a point and that was from having led twice too playing cautiously against a dangerous team. Unscathed, unbeaten..good start all-in-all
Nice to see Sligo Rovers' much hyped new striker be really effective on his first real day ;):p

1 goal in 1 game. Not bad for a man being tightly marked;). As for the rest of my team, obviously the win bonus wasn't big enough:mad:.Quote:
