League Banter - The Matchday thread
You basically take over a bot team. So it's just bad luck on your part really! Though they are more likely to be toward the bottom.
it's probably not so bad to get relegated early on, you than are more likely to get an easy run back into the current division.
Well you can't get relegated, as there aren't enough active teams, so there should be no worries!
ive gone for the upgrade my stadium aproach this season. try and get me making some more money before i start buying players to push for promotion in 2 seasons or so
2-0 win puts me in 7th, here's how the table looks:
4th: 33 points
5th: 33 points
6th: 33 points
7th: 32 points
8th: 32 points.
Even the 13th placed team has 26 points. The race for 4th is on!
That's quite close.
a good win today siting in 11th 1 point from 10th. happy with my season so far and look like meeting my sponsers goals
Huge 1 - 4 win for the Trains away at hamilton Tiger Cats. in 14 matches now Tiger Cats have won 6 and The Trains have won 8. No draws ever between the two sides.
Toger Cats are 4th, The Trains are in their traditional slot of 5th. Again.
Nice 4-2 win for Los Halcones against Hammertime2 to pick us up out of the relegation playoff spots to 10th.
1st round Cup match tonight against GRRRRrivals AD Fafe
Another win last night, this time a comeback win to 2-1 and hold on to 6th in the league.
Looking reasonable for our Sponsor goals this season
Win 1 Cup Game => Complete
Score 50 goals => Have 41 scored with 11 games left
Concede less than 50 goals => Have 22 conceded with 11 games left
Finish Top Half => 11pts ahead of Los Halcones (10th)
Huge 1 - 0 win for The Trains against MC United. That's back to back wins against top 4 teams and the gap to 4th place is now 4 points... it was going to be 3 points but Hamilton Tiger Cats snatched an injury time equaliser against lowly R.AKL Academy to draw 2-2 after AKL Academy had lead twice... dammit.
4-0 win, into sixth. Massive game against fourth placed squad coming up, have some tough lineup decisions to make.
The Trains are away to Los Halcones Locos tonight...
Bogey team:
dam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 red cards against a team i should beat so lose....
I've had a numb er of those games, mid season I lost plenty to teams I should have beaten - didn't help losing 3 of my stars to injury. Beating up on the trains 'b' team tonight makes me feel a little better though. 6-1
actually drew it 2-2 last kick of the game
The Trains triumph 0 - 1,and Soren has a very uncharacteristic 4 minutes of Pavlovich just before half time, gets sent off, and STILL wins man of the match! Go figure. Happy with the three points though.
haha he did get the game winning goal I suppose.
Also, I don't really know where to post this...But Harry Havercroft (My left back) just got his 5th star. Meaning I have 2 of them in my lineup now - Him and Askew up front.

nice, chance of a call up to the nz team soon?
continuing my inconsistent form....Beat BHB bombers 2-0 tonight, theyre 6 points clear at the top of the premiership. Stacked up agaisnt him in possession and shots too, so it was a deserved victory.
4-1 win, my newly formed B team have actually scored two goals in two games as well, led against some bot team for 40 minutes despite not having a single player better than 2.5 stars.
They have made some pretty good changes to routine etc I must say!
Big 4-1 win, two goals to Rood and Melddahl (who now has 41 goals in 42 games for the Whips) leaves the table like this:
4th: 43 points
5th: 42 points
6th: Me (42 points)
7th: 42 points.
Still a massive race going on for the playoff spot.
a good win again taking me to 10th looking safe for the season i think. had 3 players suspended for this game so great result
Huge set of results in the league last night.
Awesome that the 3 of you are fighting it out for a playoff spot!
Sky Valley and the Fafe are fighting it out for the playoff spot. The Trains however are fighting it out for the league title! We've closed from 12 points adrift to within 3 of the leaders, and MC United were down 1 - 0 for the first half hour...
I can't see myself making the playoffs, my challenge is to stay up near the top, keep my number of goals conceded down, and get over 50 goals scored :)
Relatively happy with our league form at the moment... 28 points from possible 30 in our last 10 games.
I'm well out of playoff contention this year, I think moving to 3 at the back with a new keeper has hurt me big time. Gonna miss on my sponsor goals too.
alright, 4-1 win should keep me at 9th, need to stay in the top half of the 18 teams for my sponsorship goal - neeed that cash
So the last two fixtures have seen me draw against the top two teams in the league.
Another win to help me stay in 10th. 3 points ahead of 11th
Vital 3-1 win last night to put me on top of the logjam in fourth, playing the 7th placed team next so that'll be huge.
Peter Melddahl scored twice, he is now the top goalscorer in Whips history with 44 in just 46 games.
He's getting on...
Why is it showing like this? (mildly concerned)
Sky Valley come to The Bush tonight in a big 4th vs. 5th 6 pointer...
How many matches make a season?
