Details of 2006 squad and tactics

**jussi** · 23/01/2006, 9:28 AM

Hello UCD fans!

I am a Finnish researcher studying the Eircom league for an English software company. We are working on a top-selling football management game and the fans are important to us in making the game as realistic and accurate as possible. I appreciate the squad is not yet complete but I was wondering if you could help me with the following details for 2006 season:

- captain (Tony McDonnell?)
- penalty takers
- free kick takers
- corner takers
- any long throw specialists in the squad?

I am also interested in the formation (4-4-2, 3-5-2, 4-4-1-1..) and the tactics (long/short passes, attack/defence) both playing at Belfield Park and away.

Many thanks in advance!

Jussi

Tony McDonnell - captain
Robbie martin - Penalty taker
freekick taker - just re-signed Alan Cawley, who has a repoutation for scoring for us.

I am also interested in the formation (4-4-2, 3-5-2, 4-4-1-1..) and the tactics (long/short passes, attack/defence) both playing at Belfield Park and away. - Yes, all of them.

I think you left out the 5-5-0 formation & oong ball tactic?

Ha ha, a Cork fan slagging about using long balls.

We generally play 4-4-2 with short passes. Attacking unless it's one of the league leaders.

I got a PM from A Face wanting to test it. He hasn't replied since. Was going to put a disclaimer in my sig. When I get the word it'll be gone as quick as Paul Whitemarsh is slow.

**pineapple stu** · 23/01/2006, 7:37 PM

That's grand so - all is forgiven!

A Face - come on come on come on!!!

Yeah my avatar went awol so I PMed A Face about it. He had emailed me asking to activate my avatar and had no idea what he as doing until I saw Poor Student's. Surely there should be more respect shown when dealing with such immensely delicate and offensive issues.

A Face is wasting his time in all honesty. No true fan among our vast legion would ever let themselves down in brandishing that abomination on a permenent basis.

**Schumi** · 23/01/2006, 8:50 PM

Ahh, my eyes! Even the colours are horrible!

**ilovejam** · 23/01/2006, 9:55 PM

Dont think Robbie will be at the club this year(to take the penalties). Sure all will be announced soon hopefully... but i trust my source

Poor Student I just got a PM from A Face saying the crests system is fixed so you can dump that thing whenever you want.

What thing?

Jam, if what you've been saying is right, we're going to lose W.J. Doyle and Robbie Martin plus we've lost Dupuy and Anto Murphy. Any inside rumours that we're signing a striker? I'm getting a bit worried, there's not many floating around free and decent.
