3 bookings in 3 games for Donegan. Just when I need three upfront for my next game.
Pleased to get maximum points from three away games. Next three games for me are going to decide what sort of title race there will be this year.

Indeed! Not sure what happened in the 2nd half there. We were 2-0 up at one stage in the 1st! Away to Loftys now, and a real test of the bouncebackability of this squad!Quote:

Away to Forest next, never have much luck on Canalside, so the rough begin continues.
UCD's title, and its going to be at a canter.
Took a risk by not putting out my strongest team tonight...season over already.
Patsys Fags 0-2 Lily Whites FC
Another good win for me and I won the pools aswell.
Another defeat for the Galway Maroons. Supporters not happy.
They even started singing at the end towards their own players,
''Are you Kildare County in disguise!!!''
Largely forgot my tactics...glad of a point in the end..
No ones that bad. ;):o:(Quote:

Ragball 3-1 GofS
Was a vital we took the 3 points in that match, coz I doubt we'll pick them up in the next.
Pants AFC - UCD AFC 0 - 3 (0 - 0)
Ragball Rovers - Landenstown Forest 1 - 1 (0 - 0)
Gates of Steel - Loftys Lazy 11 0 - 0 (0 - 0)
Finn Harps FC - Drunk Babysitters 1 - 1 (0 - 1)
Provisional SRFC - Wexford Boys 3 - 0 (1 - 0)
Was all going to plan til Olausson got sent off :mad: .
I predict the title to be wrapped up in record time this season. I'm also thinking, really would a season in the first be THAT bad?
i was logging in with one eye closed this evening waiting to see another pasting, so i'll take the draw no bother!!
A great win for me tonight. The first is starting to look like a three horse race.
Robbed:mad:. Deserved a point!Quote:

Days like that is why Boyle is going nowhere...
The Maroons are starting kick-start their Div 1 campaign. Two wins, 5 goals, none conceded, and 6 points. Much better than 4 defeats, 1 scored, 16 conceded, and 0 points
Another win for Galway Maroons tonight, 3 wins from 3!
Yet another game where we should have done better, robbed of 2 valuable points.
More importantly Burton Albion dropped 2 points.:DQuote:

An absolute stunning opportunity missed to pick up points at DB on Saturday. 3-4-3, possession dominant, again good ratings, 2v7 chances created and we nearly blew even a point. Story of the season so far. :( When you think you can't do it, he scores in the last minute, Walking in a Davidsson wonderland. :)
This is a pretty good team available in the Golden League job centre. They seem to have a decent amount of money too.

The rules for job centre changed recently which rewards managers who have stayed with their team for a while.

4-1 down with about 10 minutes left - finished 4-4 :D . Still disappointed though, its the kind of match I should be winning at home in fairness. Full on relegation battle could be looming. :o
I was 3-1 up with 8 minutes to go. Presumed the game was over and said "HA, that's what you get for playing very offensive to myself (it's still crap btw :))" and stopped watching. Checked my player ratings- looked pretty good. Checked Loftys, which were also quite good. Checked the pools- joint winner so got my stake back. Checked team of the round- dissappointed Gorka and Schmarz didn't make it for first time. Then went through results and that we ****ing drew because of goals in the 89th and 90th minute.:mad: Would have taken a draw before the game but that just feels ****e.Quote:

Phew..reeeeally had to snatch that victory...
19 active members. Haven't had 20 for a while.
Massive win for Pants away tp Provos - it'll matter not a jot if we can't beat them in the return. A respectable placing may actually be within our grasp - ie 3rd or 4th.
thats that then :mad::D
Bit premature? :DQuote:

GoS 0-3 UCD

DBS 2-0 Ragball
Harps 2-0 Forest
maybe but i doubt it!!! unless we can turn over provos and haul them into it ...Quote:

A win on Saturday should wrap up the league.
Ah yes, tactics. Have forgotten both sets today on account of my birthday yesterday.
*Not that it would've made a difference...
Noticed that, no playmaker, nobody marked etc. I reckon you'd probably have atleast salvaged a draw had you done your tactics. The possession was evenly split, but you only created two chances - possibly because of no playmaker?Quote:

Been a bit quiet in here lately.
Belated happy birthday dfx.
