Some of you start in the cup tonight, the rest of us will enter on Thursday.
In Australia, I started off with an easy win in the first round, and am up against a banned team tonight - so that should be interesting.

how do you enter the cup? or do you have to qualify by winning your league or something?
You're automatically entered into it. You're playing 'SF Lower Hutt' on Thursday.
Cup games are played Mondays and Thursdays. You recieve half the gate takings in attendance money.
It starts so late because it is timed so the final ends up in the final week of the season.
So umm... I played a cup match last night without even realising it. First team won 2-1, reserves lost 2-1.
First team is playing some aotearoa championship mob tomorrow night. Would be awesome to scrape a win so I meet a sponsor goal but don't have my hopes up. B team is playing the Fat Cockneys. Wish I could have got a fixture as easy as they have...

oh sweet, so I am....good way to make some coin then
Yes, 1-0 up. GONNA WIN THE CUP!
losing 2-1 in extra time. My best mid got injured and my 2nd best mid got sent off
Only retarded sad-face emoticon can truly express my emotions now :(
I got lucky with a 3-2 win against a side 2 divisions below me.
In Australia, I am into extra time with a 2-2 scoreline against a much better side a division above me.
And I just went 3-2 down in the 115th minute. Cruel.
So, I blew a 3-1 lead and went 3-3 after 90minutes. Scored in the 3rd minute of ET, and then on of my defenders got sent off in the 97th minute. They equalised again after 103' to make it 4-4.
For some bizarre reason, the penalty shootout started in the 117th minute, before the game had even finished. We lost the game 4-3 on penalties, and then had another defender sent off in the 118th minute, after the penalty shootout had finished but before the final whistle.
And on top of all that, two of my players got 3 game injuries. I've just lost four of my starting XI before a crucial game against 3rd placed Wellington United tomorrow night. I'm less than pleased.
That has to be the weirdest game in history...
In hindsight maybe you should have rested some players with such an important game tomorrow
Yeah I should have, too late now though. The injuries shouldn't be a problem, I have strong players to take their place. The weak backline could be an issue though, may have to update my conditionals accordingly.
Yeah Ive had massive injury and suspension problems in defense too,it's frustrating.
Same for me this season although mostly in midfield. I have 6 players suspended or injured at the moment and had to promote a crappy youth player to make up the numbers on my bench for tonights game!
wow, I got thrashed 5-0 by a team that was player for player worse than me? horrid performance by my lads.
Both the firsts and the reserves at Peow FC have been eliminated from the cup competition.
Achieved my sponsor goal of 3 wins with a 2-0 win over a league 2 side. Don't see myself getting as far in the cup as I usually did in the past. I'll be lucky to stay in the premiership to be honest.
I think you are the only one of us left in the cup.
Even thunderthighs? That's disappointing! I really need a good cup run with games
drawn at home to help my dire financial situation,but don't see it happening.

Yeah we gone, see my post above about the buggy game I had. Lost on penalties, which occured in the 117th minute, and then had a player red carded after the penalties. I can link you the game if you want a laugh.
BOOM!
After a tense goal-less encounter, The Trains win in a penalty shootout (with Judas scoring the winning kick) and are through to the 6th round!
It's a shame we haven't been drawn against each other!
Maybe in the final...
Gotta get past Wandering Wombats in the round of 32 first... not gonna be easy.
I'll try injure his team for you tomorow night. Think I'm playing him next.
First cup game against a prem team tonight. boring 0-0 so far. A win to get into the quarterfinals.
1-0 up in the 40th minute with my first shot of the game from a freekick!
I suspect the trains cup run is over, 4-0 down to premiership side Wandering Wombats at half time.
Is he at wombats at least? That'll make for a handy gate return $$
Nah he's at home. 1-11 down now with 6 minutes plus injury time to go.
NOOOOO!
Conceded an equaliser in the 84th minute!
Now 2-1 down in the 86th minute.
Ill be off to strangle a puppy now.
For some reason I have been awarded the NZ cup...

Congratulations!
LOL well earned.
Calciopoli: TM style.
I hope I get to keep it
Sad to announce that I have lost my trophy
Main team managed a 2-0 win to keep the cup hopes alive. My much needed left back picked up a 6 match injury though.
Reserves have been knocked out of the cup.
