How long left now? Any chance the 7 in the 5-7 crew have time to catch the Boys in Blue? I got lucky vs them at the weekend.

**Aberdonian Stu** · 29/11/2006, 11:17 AM

Boys in Blue need to lose both remaining games for one of the teams currently outside the top 4 to make it to the playoffs.

**Clifford** · 04/12/2006, 9:00 AM

Bloody hell Reggie Bush, there's my last lingering sniff of play off's out the window.

**Aberdonian Stu** · 05/12/2006, 9:02 AM

After this week's games there are four teams in contention for the final playoff spot. They are: Boys in Blue, Newbridge Wagons, Smashey's Bulldogs and Bashers Badgers.

Boys in Blue have a one game lead over the other three so a win or a tie in the final week would suffice for them to take the spot.

**Aberdonian Stu** · 12/12/2006, 12:32 PM

The collapse is complete as Schumi missed out on the playoffs. The draw is as follows.

Semi finals
Dublin Northsiders vs Newbridge Wagons
T&C All Stars vs Numero Uno

Consolation playoffs for 5th to 8th place
Boys in Blue vs Smasheys Bulldogs
derekskings vs Belfield Bullets

There is no consolation draw for 9th to 12th so those places finish as follows.
9th Bashers Badgers (who were only 1 win away from the semi finals!)
10th Inchicore Saints
11th CLIFFORDS CLIPPERS
12th (BC) Eagles Ab�

12th (BC) Eagles Ab�

There is a rumour going around that i have to re-apply to gain entry into this league next year.

Thanks for the game anyway - really enjoyed the season - even if my team played like the Louisiana Muddogs - pre Bobby Bouchier.

**Dodge** · 12/12/2006, 1:08 PM

And I started so well...

See y'all next year

**strangeirish** · 12/12/2006, 2:37 PM

I got lucky with Newbridge Wagons. Just made the semi's by the skin of my teeth. Will probably get my ass handed to me by the Dublin Northsiders!

Praise the Lord that you were so awful..I'll be making sure I'm there for the draft next year, pesky wife won't get in the way this time.

Best of luck to all the play off teams. Anyone who wants Vince Young can send me a fiver by post to "Losses r us".

**Dodge** · 13/12/2006, 9:14 AM

Being at the draft didn't help some of us. Being last pick was my problem.

Not an excuse... problem. Least I should get a decent spot next year

**onenilgameover** · 14/12/2006, 3:54 AM

might give this a go...doing well in the soccer ball

**swano** · 15/12/2006, 4:04 AM

Fantasy NFL is immeasurably better than any fantasy football game out there. I do one with lads from work and the banter on a sunday night when we're all in watching it is brilliant.
Lastly go on Frank Gore!

I knew it! McNair went down injured, Booker went down injured...Didn't stand a chance...Ah well.

There's just one week left in the Foot.ie NFL fantasy league and here are the final week's fixtures.

Foot.ie Championship game
Dublin Northsiders vs Numero Uno
The Northsiders are on a 12 game winning streak and have beaten every team in the league but it will count for nothing if they lose this week

Foot.ie Division 1-AA title game
Newbridge Wagons vs T&C All Stars
Also known as the third is second loser game these two met in week nine when T&C came out on top.

The Belfield Bowl II
Boys in Blue vs Belfield Bullets
The Bullets took the honours when they met in week nine but claiming the second Belfield Bowl would mean a fifth place finish.

The "tell me the past fortnight wasn't pointless" bowl
Smashey's Bulldogs vs derekskings
Currently eighth ranked Smashey's will move up to seventh in the final rankings if they win. Having lost last week the sixth seeded derekskings are looking to limit the damage caused by this playoff run.

Ah, I'm actually sh*tting myself this week! I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if I (or rather my players!) ballsed it up completely at the last hurdle!

Great fun for the season. Win or lose, it's been a brilliant way to watch the NFL.

The results of this week's "bowl" games are :

Foot.ie Championship game
Dublin Northsiders 57
Numero Uno 50

The Northsiders claimed the championship holding off a late rally by Numero Uno in the Monday night game.

Foot.ie Division 1-AA title game
T&C All Stars 51
Newbridge Wagons 43

T&C took some consolation after their semi final defeat by claiming third place.

The Belfield Bowl II
Boys in Blue 59
Belfield Bullets 45

The Boys in Blue avenged their week nine defeat by taking the Belfield Bowl and with it fifth spot.

The "tell me the past fortnight wasn't pointless" bowl
derekskings 60
Smashey's Bulldogs 57

derekskings put the brakes on their playoff slide by taking the win and with it seventh place.

Final placings from 1-8 were determined by playoff and consolation rankings matches while 9-12 were based solely on league record. So with no further ado the final standings:

1. Dublin Northsiders
2. Numero Uno
2. T&C Allstars
4. Newbridge Wagons
5. Boys in Blue
6. Belfield Bullets
7. derekskings
8. Smashey's Bulldogs
9. Bashers Badgers
10. Inchicore Saints
11. CLIFFORDS CLIPPERS
12. (BC) Eagles Ab�

Hope to see you all next season.

Well, after 16 weeks of tense competitive action, it's quite pleasurable to today be named the foot.ie Champion! Woo Hoo!

Well done to everyone as it was deadly craic along the way!

Look forward to defending my crown next year but intend to bask in my glory for a little while before then (as my signature suggests)!!

**Clifford** · 26/12/2006, 4:28 PM

Well done to the winner, nice going Karlos, well deserved and I'm sure we'll all be back for a rattle next season.

Thanks to all who set this up, I really enjoyed it. Could have done without stayin up til 5 am to see the Jet's win, but there ya go.

My Falcons are gone so I'll have a sneaky eye on the Saints from here on in as I've been there for a game.
