Haden Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Don't worry about voting for me, I just want cold hard cash and champagne!
gaggle64 Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 HAaaden! That's enough of you and your saboteuring ways!
Haden Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Huh? What did I do now? Or do you mean stop posting? Sorry I will be quiet now its J7's fault he started it :p
Twozzok Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 uni library, my man. I was without net for 2 months and still managed to set my tactics... most of the time! Plus now apparently you can set them for future games too. Oh shit, hadn't thought of that, totally forgot the library existed. Didn't go at all last year. I better wake up in time to get there to set my tactics.
Haden Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Audio Soap Box Utd 1-2 Made of Win Made of Win badly needed to live up to their name and win a game to escape the relegation zone as we head to the half way point of the league. Things looked grim as managerless Utd were awarded and converted a penalty 4 minutes into the game. Made of Win defensive 5-3-2 formation seemed to be badly holding them back. However a scrappy clearance led to a close range shot and the score was 1-1 at 77 minutes. With 5 minutes left Stuart scored his first goal of the season with a well directed header to drag Made of Win out of the relegation zone. Party at Richters 0-6 MadDog United United scored an utterly devastating victory against Richters. Going on the attack straight away with a 3-4-3 formation United pushed forward. After 5 minutes they were rewarded as the captain Hadley headed the ball in. The first half was basically an attacking masterclass, 11 chances were created and 6 converted. Hard to pick out players to compliment, Jeeves did well commanding defense with just 3 players, Carpenter scored 2 and made 2 but everyone was great. United now have a positive goal difference and still have to be seen as an outsider to be promoted. Edd Kirby Athletic 0-0 Silverdale FC Athletic failed to notch up their first win in this frustrating game for them. Both teams midfields had good periods of creativity and plenty of chances were created for both teams. However while Silverdales team was balanced front and back. Athletic's strike force but in yet another abysmal performance. However Atheletic keeper Bain had a wondrous match making saves with ease. In the end this led to both teams canceling each other out. The draw leaves Silverdale just outside the promotion zone but with a game extra played and Athletic in the relegation zone badly needing a win. Noodle FC 1-1 Tin Can Club A crucial game between two title contenders as Noodle FC tried to break Tin Can Club's unbeaten record. Tin Can Club amazingly played a 4-2-4 formation and drove wildly up the pitch scoring after 4 minutes as Gudbrandsson side footed a cross from a corner into the net. Noodle recovered and began to create more chances against Tin Can Club's 2 man midfield. However their title aspirations seemed to be slipping away until they got a corner of their own which was curled in for Batistuta to head down through the goalies legs. The game ended at 1-1, givng Tin Can Club a great result but also keeping Noodle FC in the title hunt just about. Analysis Most Important Result: Noodle FC 1-1 Tin Can Club, Noodle had a chance to end Tin Can Club's unbeaten streak but failed to do so. Turned on the Style Award: MadDog United, 11 chances in 1 half! Awesome football. Player of the Day: Edd Kirby Athletic. Marshall Bain, while the attackers are failing Athletic's goalie are giving them half a chance of staying up. HAaaden! That's enough of you and your saboteuring ways! If you meant a dirty trick then that was not me I will show you my clubs bank account if you dont believe me baby! I can take a guess at exactly who would want to cause a civil war between us two though.
Brian Mcoy Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Mcoy wonders which clubs have the money to afford dirty tricking. Mcoy finds it very hard to train his players and save money.
jayseven Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Frickin' forgot to SAVE my tactics so we were too defensive and only managed a 0-0 draw. I had more possession by a fair bit and really would've capitalised on it if I was aggressive. The return leg will not be the same, Cube! I can still take satisfaction from having the best keeper. 22 years old and playing at 11 skill. Totally awesome :P
Ellmeister Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 ReZ is in trouble, 3 of his defenders are out :p With a hardness of 9, you set the aggression to normal? Silly boy! Happy with my 3-0 win, 6 points away from relegation zone means I can screw up a couple of times and still have hope!

Happenstance Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Happy enough with my match, managed to get some of my youngsters some much needed experience
gaggle64 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Ph-ew. That was an important one. A real nail biter too - goal in the 92nd.
Mr_Odwin Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Fried Egg for me, but my league position and egg are misleading. The second half of my season looks to be significantly harder.
Haden Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Ph-ew. That was an important one. A real nail biter too - goal in the 92nd. Ohh close! Shame my stats are pretty sweet for an away team I think my team just didn't click. Ah well never mind still happy with how my team is doing I reckon a top 4 finish is still in order.
Ten10 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Ok can someone seriously tell me why the HECK MY DAMN TEAM KEEPS PLAYING 4-2-4. I've set the default as 4-3-3 but every single time I don't get a chance to set tactics I see that bloody 4-2-4 being done. IT'S PISSING ME OFF!!!! Press release: Manager Ten10 found hanging in his room, due to not being able to take 90% of things that had been happening to him anymore.
Ellmeister Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Maybe you are setting midfielders as forwards by accident?
DuD Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 pretty happy i didn't lose to the adorable vikings. my interweb failed me so i ended up tacticless. luckily i had sorted out a team well in advance and so got a few youths some experience and a 3 - 0 win
jayseven Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 People should be punished accordingly for the lengths of time they've failed to play. I mean, the guys who don't even post a 'sorry guys! [insert excuse]!' Because, frankly, they know this thread exists, they see it several times a day and they ignore it. It's rude!
Haden Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) I did PM Dyson early about trying to swap some managerless sides out with someone that posted after the cutoff. It needs a sort out in the lower league and middle league its sad that its like that, still good for teams youth training lol! Edited September 15, 2009 by Haden
Cube Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 People should be punished accordingly for the lengths of time they've failed to play. I mean, the guys who don't even post a 'sorry guys!

I seem to be getting punished the most and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Haden Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) Last Fridays games for Division 1 Jaffa Munchers 4-0 Tellstorm The Munchers kept their promotion hopes alive as they gave Tellstorm a whipping. Tellstorm had essentially dug their own grave by fielding no subs so at one point they were playing with 9 men because of injuries! Munchers sealed the game before half time with a 3-0 lead, 2 of these goals came from McAnuff who had a great game. Munchers played superbly and deserved the result. The Adorable Vikings 4-0 Mike Strikes FC Two teams that are finished for this season having been abandoned by their managers clashed. And the Vikings came out on top destroying Strikes. Investigating this further it seems long time absent manager Tales turned up for this match! His team was up for the fight literally in some cases with a red card being given to a Viking player. However Grimnes the captain had a great game scoring twice and will be hoping the manager sticks around. Battlestar Odwinica 2-1 DuDs Baggies A critical game for promotion and the title race was a really hard fought one. Both teams fielded 4-4-2 and went out to win. Odwinica struck first as Murray jigged past a Baggies player and slotted in a great breakaway goal, marking his first for the club. However Odwinica's stadium fell silent as the Baggies gained a free kick and Standen their free kick specialist stood over the ball ran up and blasted it in. However Tate for Odwinica found himself 3 minutes later in the box with the ball and flicked it into the net, again for this first goal for the club. After the break Odwinica's midfield led by Gullian dominated the Baggies and it proved decisive as any change of a comeback was snuffed out. The promotion spot race is getting tighter. Recall United 1-2 Mcoys Sons An ill tempered game that saw 3 yellow cards in the opening period of play, then witnessed a penalty for United which captain Steep neatly converted. Moments later Sons made a vigorous attack which resulted in a penalty for them! Jevons blasted it down the middle to make it 1-1 and by this time both sides had a bad taste in their mouth. Dabic for United was seriously injured after a reckless tackle by Harris who was booked. The two sides went back and forth as more cards and injuries amassed, Through all this chaos the Sons were given a free kick which Moses blasted into the net after it was passed to him. United tried to fight back but captain Steep while trying to get the ball pushed a Sons player out the way and was given a 2nd yellow and sent off. A very ill tempered match that gives Sons title hopes a big boost. Analysis Most Important Result: Battlestar Odwinica 2-1 DuDs Baggies makes the promotion fight very tight and gives Odwinica some momentum Turned on the Style Award: Jaffa Munchers, easy game but won it with clear style. Player of the Day: Mcoys Sons, Adrian Moses, had a great game and scored the crunch goal in a chaotic game. Edited September 15, 2009 by Haden
Dyson Posted September 16, 2009 Author Posted September 16, 2009 I did PM Dyson early about trying to swap some managerless sides out with someone that posted after the cutoff. It needs a sort out in the lower league and middle league its sad that its like that, still good for teams youth training lol! Oh yeah, right at the start of the season. Would feel a bit cheeky giving someone a dead team though. A 3-2 loss for me kills my hopes of winning the championship this season unfortunately, and drops me dangerously close to the relegation zone. Fingers crossed I can stay up. Thinking there's gonna be a major cleanup after this season.
Happenstance Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Yet another win today for Happenstance United, im 7 points clear at the top with only 3 games left so looking very positive!
Twozzok Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Despite finding out 'spoons has free internet and setting my tactics on my phone, it seems Odwin definitely has the better team. (though I think him changing up his formation didn't help )
Roostophe Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Yet another win today for Happenstance United, im 7 points clear at the top with only 3 games left so looking very positive! I lost today. If I'd won that I would have blown the promotion race wide open. But it looks like I'm staying in Divvy 5. Well, if you're coming up, and if Haden decides to get himself relegated we can have a threesome with cream try to better each other next season.
Mr_Odwin Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Despite finding out 'spoons has free internet and setting my tactics on my phone, it seems Odwin definitely has the better team. (though I think him changing up his formation didn't help ) I think it was less about the team strength and more about the awesome tactics that I used to counter everything you did. Home advantage helped a lot too I think. The next leg of the double header will likely go your way.
