Big game against Pants tonight. Loftys will probably win tonight so need a win to stay top. Last three games against Pants at Belfield have gone my way, with plenty of goals in them. We're stronger than we were last season and Pants a bit weaker but I would take a 1-0 coming off the ref's arse.
I'm sorry?:D Delighted with draw. Needed confidence boost badly. Now its off to Sligo with a victory in sights! C'mon the rams!!!Quote:

Form is getting better, though may have to try for safety first and only then mould in all these new signings for the change report. Too much tried at once..
It's always a good time to face Sligo:pQuote:

I'm predicting a successful night for the new guard..
Me too, especially with us handing debuts to an 18 and 19 yo defender tonight. Theres a reasonably good chance we could get relegated this season as I'm determined to get the younger players ratings up at seasons end.Quote:

Two away wins really is a significant moment.
The pair of you are worse than MNS with your Premier Division bias!
Have the makings of a really good side for the future:
DEF: Tone, 18. Slaney, 19. Sjolund, 21. Olausson, 25.
MID: Ferreira, 25. Stapleton & McKenzie, 24. Janson, 21. Jensen, 20.
FWD: Weijden, 25. Borgstrand, 21. Wingfield, 20.
lmao :dQuote:

Played my "good in the air" keeper, with an 8 rated "good in the air" defender. Tightened the wings and conceded 3 goals from headers? :rolleyes:
1-0 win in Cobh:cool:
Oh dear God!:( My season just went downhill considerably. I can draw with Loftys but I lose to Sligo! Wonders will never cease! Jaysus.....will we ever win!
Premier Division
Drunk Babysitters 1-0 Provisional SRFC
Sligo Rovers F.C. 2-1 Finn Harps FC*
UCD AFC 4-1 Cobh Ramblers F.C
Landenstown Forest 2-0 Pants AFC
*The lads always get fired up for a derby;)
Don't get the chance to say this too often...How's the view down there dfx?:)
First Division
Sligo Starlets 0-3 Wexford Boys
Patsys Fags 2-1 Burton Albion FC
SRFC Sligo Rovers 4-1 Dundalk F.C
Holidaysong FC 2-1 Gates of Steel
Jesus boys, I leave the top for 6 or 7 games, and all hell breaks loose. Sligo now above Landenstown, Pants and Provos! Do ye not feel ye have any challenge to rise to meet?
Happy with my win tonight, Gates of Steel were always going to be a potential banana.
(With that last bit being said in my finest Dundalk accent ;))
Another 1-0 defeat:mad:
1-0 defeat for me tonight, good time to have a couple of players injured, no league game for 2 rounds:D
Fix! :p
YES! What a win v Forest! Needed that badly! Doesn't move us anywhere but if we lost we were adrift. Lets hope we can do it again on the 2nd game.
Perfect season so far, doubt it will last though. Nice to see that my goal difference is bigger than second place's points!:p League certainly not won yet but I would be shocked if we don't end up winning it.
Pants and Provos will be safe. I think Harps might start dropping down the table. If the Drunks and ourselves both win on Tuesday there won't be any hope of Loftys/Harps breaking into the top 2.
Couple of inactive managers in the First has made the promotion race a bit more interesting. If Burts are fully active for the rest of the season I'd say they will nick third. Wexford and Holidaysong seem to have the top 2 places wrapped up.
Also, just realised that I won't be able to sell that striker I bought until next season.:mad: Will still make a profit but not as much as I thought and would need the 1m for training at the season update. Tempted to sell Kerrigan/Joyce but if Carlsson and Caj both retire...
I hope your not suggesting that the mighty Forest are to become victims of relegation Dman:oQuote:

Ahh, I remember that feeling a few times. Of course, that was back back in the day, back when there used to be an established and fearsome opposition...Quote:

However, so have Pants and the Treehuggers - Landenstown haven't lost a home game yet, even if they have only won one of their home games; similarly it is only Pants away form that is betraying them.
As for Harps, they have been fairly consistent so far and they should make the cut by continuing to pick up points here and there. The Madelines are looking like being the only contestants, though you couldn't rule out Loftys. It does look like being UCD's year, though they did manage to get relegated when they should have been the Alberts chief rivals one year...
I don't know who I am or hwere I am but... Provos have just played their youth players first. They will have more or less 100& ME now so expect full strength for almost every game left this season. Defence is too dodgy for 3-5-2 but will they change their beloved formation...Quote:

Between Forest and Harps for last relegation spot (sorry Sligs and Cobh). Harps team a bit weaker but Forest out of form. Harps may have benefited from 4/6 points against out of form Pants/Provos. ****** just spilled my crunch corner everywhere. ****ing chipper closed so had to make do with yohgury. Anyway, Forest should pick up win at home tomorrow. Should make things interesting.
So to sum things up; we are great. League won on 10th or 13th Jan.
POTM? At least drunk POTM. Should make an award for that. Too ****ed to suggest now. Someone else can do now.
Hard luck not league winners (we'd even beeat Alberts on this form). Loftys tomorrow banana skin for 100%.
:cool::eek::ball:
Smilies for effect.
10+ leagues in a row. Peace out.
Yeah.
I might just mention that the last five leagues in a row have been won with a 3-5-2 formation...Quote:

Beat 4-1. Missed a peno, Provos score 2 direct freekicks, and a peno :rolleyes:
Relegation is a strong possibility with that kind of luck - or lack there of.
Nah the pundit says your safe Dancinpants;):p...Hope the head isn't too sore today Dman.
Small degree of revenge over Cobh today. Provos are next up tough game methinks . There are some interesting games ahead in the coming weeks going by the league table.
This may explain your confidence in us :DQuote:

Isgren is beginning to bear fruit after an age on low form - the opposite to Gyllensten (difference of 1.5m showing). We're in big trouble.
Today is why Di Napoli wasn't culled in the 30+ bloodbath in pre-season. Really needed the win but 3 points each helps neither of Pants or us really. Unfortunately, we've Forest next and we couldn't win there even last season :o
Damn missing preparation for a game.. You'd think they'd have a break for a week over Christmas. :mad:
Come on now holiday! YOu were playing Ragball Rovers back to back, surely the same tatics to beat me the first time were good enough to beat me the 2nd :pQuote:

Sligo Rovers F.C. 1-0 Loftys Lazy 11
Landenstown Forest 3-2 Provisional SRFC
Cobh Ramblers F.C 1-3 Drunk Babysitters
UCD AFC 2-0 Finn Harps FC
Out of the drop zone with a 94th minute winner:D
Up to third now but still in danger, from third down the threat of relegation is still there. UCD and Drunk Babysitters have 1 and 2 secured.
In third! It won't last, but not bad for what was the worst team in the league when I took over, about 6 weeks ago.
Meanwhile, Sligo when un-managed achieve one of their best results of the season:D
Fcuk, Skäggmark injured with av form 17. Only short injury so should be able to stop it going under 16, 15 worst case scenario. Cobh hackers up next so expect a few injuries...
Most youth players need about 2 games to get to 100%. Probably need to use four games though as don't want to play them all at once.
Would have loved if Alberts were still around. Knew it would take me this long to get a team that would beat them then they decide to feck off.
Still on course for 100% but I doubt it will happen. The longer the run goes on the more I feel we are likely to lose. 16 games unbeaten going back to last season.
Remember that feeling alright - though you'll want a choke of Mayo proportions to fail to win the league now.Quote:
