A nice 5-2 win for AD Fafe.
Already well back though.
Team doesn't seem to be improving.
Leilei and Pink with a brace each
League Banter - The Matchday thread
Checked in to watch my game v Peow.... and it's a 3-0 forfeit. OK, then!
Peow didn't field a full squad???
It's suddenly very very close at the top of the table...
Pretty happy with my 3-2 win last night, good away result which saw us move up to 11th, now we really need to start picking up points as we are well back from our top half aim here.
A delightful hattrick for Leilei as well in this game.
lost a 4-3 last night... just out of playoffs
Trains are top of the league!
going through a lean spell. scoring but cant stop the opposition. conceeded 11 in last 3 games bust think i scored 10..
Playing Earthquake City tonight in a relegation-zone battle.
yes, got a result today. a nice 3-0 win away from home. top goal scorer in the league also
1-0 loss last night - to the top team, which wasn't too bad - except two of my defenders were red carded!!!
Still holding onto the top spot in the league, 10 goals conceded in 19 games
A nice 12-1 Win. Hopefully can get back into the playoff places
1-0 win to take me to 9th in the league. Lost 3 players to injury though :(
I am reluctant to say anything about The Trains' current form. Every time I do it commentator's curses it...
Well, this was onesided:
Your team scored as many as both teams in Fafe's game against Los Halcones which ended in a 6-6 draw lol.
Have all of your guys strikers been taken steroids or something?
Have all of your guys strikers been taken steroids or something?
Back-to-back wins for the first time in the Championship. After beating old third-division rivals Dirty's Boys 2 - 0 away on Friday, we scalped The Indian 1 - 0 last night. Stoked with the performance, especially considering I had my first choice DL and DMC suspended as well as my usual substitute defender, and my MC picked up an injury on Friday. Two hasty promotions from the B team and a striker playing in the centre of midfield seemed to do the trick. Going into the match I was just hoping we didn't concede seven like in the first round.
The only negative is two other teams in the relegation battle knocked off top-four sides as well last night, so the win doesn't improve our standing in the lower reaches of the table.
Okay, I am officially pleased with The Trains' current form:
It is now 15 games since our last loss:
1. 5 - 0 vs. Ad Fafe (home)
2. 0 - 8 vs. Studsup City (away)
3. 6 - 0 vs. Richmond S.S. (home)
4. 1 - 2 vs. Waterside Melchester (away)
5. 1 - 1 vs. OM Black 26 (home)
6. 0 - 1 vs. Los Halcones Locos FC (away)
7. 2 - 0 vs. R. Akl Academy (home)
8. 0 - 4 vs. Sanson BK (away)
9. 1 - 0 vs. Hamilton KV (home)
10. 0 - 0 vs. Bay of a Few (away)
11. 6 - 1 vs. Real Milwaukee (home)
12. 0 - 2 vs. FC Picton (away)
13. 5 - 0 vs. ANE2 (home)
14. 1 - 2 vs. Tauranga All Stars (away)
15. 2 - 1 vs. Brooklyn U.S. (home)
Now five points clear at the top of the table...
7-0 win to stay atop the table, loving this season.
sitting in 6th spot at the moment - have been as high as 4th this season - I think I can manage 4th if results go my way for the rest of the season.
In in the same boat in 4th. Had a win over 4th a point away with another nice winnable game this week
Hat-trick for 17-year old Hyde, 12 goals this year for the B's, 5-2 win yesterday.
In bad form. Can't score
Trains up 5 - 0 at half time, 4 points clear at the top of the table...
89th minute winner puts me 2 points clear, big game against 2nd placed Peow tonight
Can Los Halcones Locos end the Trains' 22 match unbeaten run in the league tonight?
Nope. 1 - 0 Trains. 23 games unbeaten in the league.
Massive top-of-the-table clash ends 0-0, leaving the Whips two points clear of second and three points clear of third with just four games remaining. Win would have been huge with some tough games left on the schedule.
5 - 0 win for the Trains.
24 games unbeaten in the league, 7 wins in a row, 5 clean sheets in a row... three club records.
We're 4 points clear with 3 to play. If we win the next game against 2nd to bottom Sanson Bk and 2nd place Brooklyn U.S. lose to 5th place Waterside Melchester (not inconceivable) we'll win the title with two games to play as we'll be 7 points clear at the top.
7-0 win, still two points clear, massive game against 3rd coming up - win or draw and I'm in the box seat for automatic promotion, lose and I'll be finishing in the playoffs.
smashed a banned team in the leage tonight, although lost one of my experienced guys to injury too. Still sittting in a strong 6th
Hoping to catch up to Waikato Whippingboys with the few games we have left...2 points behind. Hopefully I will be going up this season
5 - 0 win for the Trains.
24 games unbeaten in the league, 7 wins in a row, 5 clean sheets in a row... three club records.
We're 4 points clear with 3 to play. If we win the next game against 2nd to bottom Sanson Bk and 2nd place Brooklyn U.S. lose to 5th place Waterside Melchester (not inconceivable) we'll win the title with two games to play as we'll be 7 points clear at the top.
Boom! Trains win 3 - 0, Brooklyn lose 0 -1, so we have won the league... 7 points clear with 2 to play!
RESULT!!!
Conceded a last minute penalty to draw with the third-placed squad, now need to win both games to win the league
Well my team went down 1-0 early, but 78, 83 & 89 minute goals saw us run out 3-1 winners. I have no idea what went wrong with my team this season, maybe the division got tougher and I didn't improve enough, but we are well out of it.
Seven game injury at the worst possible time to my centre back sees me fall to second place, and now I'll be without him for the playoffs, bye promotion chances.
