Iliad to win the cup with some very dodgy ref desicions

As if jr would come up ahead of me? And shouldn't the top 2 people go through to conquerers league?

[icedagger]

Sam im sure you sent me your training although I have been unable to locate it I must have accidentally deleted it

Sorry for the inconvience, to stop me from being a complete idiot in the future it would be handy if you headed your pm's with TRAINING & SQUAD in capitals so i cant delete it.

*goes to make sure the rest are there*

I think it was me who hasn't sent you this weeks training yet..

You might have used Sam's for me? Is it too late to send mine now?

EDIT: Training sent..

Yes they probably should, but then I wouldn't win it automatically

[dustn64]

Sam?! Your Blowing The Game!

[pmchugh]

I think i confused ice and sam and now I deleted all your training as my inbox was full and I thought your games were done, sam have you sent me your training? Either way you need to resend it, sorry for the confusion. Not as smooth as I hoped the first game of the season would go.

I think he probably did, since I hadn't sent you one and you thought you had mine. Must've been a mixup

[sam_levi_11]

i prefer my current one anyway

[pmchugh]

This has been an absolute fookin disaster lol. The following has been shortened as I have had enough of this stupid first game!

Game 1
Thunder Hawks v Down Under United
Teams:
TH
Given 31
R. Ferdinand 29
Sagna 25
Ballack 31
Pederson 26
Denilson 20
Berbatov 27
Mellberg 30
A. Smith 27
Viduka 32

DDU
Hart 20
Vidic 26
Agger 23
A. Young 22
Lampard 29
Giggs 34
Drogba 30
Yobo 27
Malbranque 28
Miller 28


Match Report :
For most of the first half it was DDU who were the better side, however Thunder Hawks also played good football in spells. The first chance fell to DDU's Vidic when Young played a beautiful corner into the back post, unfortunately for Vidic he only hit the post. Not long afterwards Drogba attempted to curl the ball into the bottm corner however it just went wide of the right hand post.

Thunder Hawks first chance came after 28 mins when Hart spilled a long range shot from Denilson, Berbatov raced to the ball and with Hart still down it looked an easy chance for him, but Agger got back and made the challenge.

Ten mins later Young whipped another great corner into the box this time to the front post, Vidic met it again and managed not only to hit the target but also to beat keeper Given. Thunder Hawks 0-1 Down Under United.

Half time DDU are the happier side although TH still have reasons to be happy.

In the second half Thunder Hawks come out a little stronger and both sides start to play good football. On 59 mins, Lampard broke into the box and aimed for the bottom corner, only for Given to get down and make an excellent save to touch it behind for a corner.

5 mins later Berbatov found himself in space and for the first time in the match DDU's defense was poor. Berbatov slid through Pederson who was in acres of space only for him to blast the ball well wide.

On 76 mins Giggs broke free from Thunders defense and despite getting on in years he still managed to out pace the defenders, as he bore down on goal Given advanced towards him and Giggs unselfishly slid it to Drogba who stoked it into the empty goal.
Thunder Hawks 0-2 Down Under United.

2 mins later TH suffered abother blow when Ballack had to go off injured, it appears his injury is only bad swelling and he will be ok for next weeks game. SUB A. Smith on for Ballack.

DDU controlled much of the remaining 12 mins and managed to come away with a well earned and impressive 3 points.

Thunder Hawks 0-2 Down Under United.
---------------------------Vidic 38
---------------------------Drogba 76

I think I will do all my match reports like this, I dont really have the time to do much more, in fact that may even be too long for me. Other games coming up in a moment.

[sam_levi_11]

are all games finished?

[pmchugh]

are all games finished?

AAHHHH! I am going to kill someone, I was doing the next game for the second time and my computer crashed and every time I turned it back on it just crashed again, I finally have got it working but I have to go out in ten mins. I will be back in a while and if this computer is still working I will post it all. Although I will probably come home to find my computer has been stolen along with all copies of my program.

EDIT: Match reports done.

[pmchugh]

Im online and everything is working! Match reports tonight at some point I promise, sorry for the delay.

[animorpherv1]

nice game Iliad


I'm fine pmc, I had no worries you wouldn't do it.

Hargreaves 27
Shevchenko 31
Hutton 23
Nolan 25
McFadden 24

Cena today had his first game as manager of Redcar Royals who have had a bad time with managers of late, will Cena be a god send or will JR continue his winning run?

Match Report:
The game was not the most interesting one I have ever watched it seemed as if both teams were playing very average football with niether really doing much in the first 15 mins. After then the game livened up slightly as a dog ran onto the pitch, at least it gave the crowd something to sing about.

The first chance fell to the visitors after 34 mins, Flamini played a cross field ball to Barnes who controlled it well and crossed the ball high into the air, Jaaskalinen came out to collect it however he was shoved in the back by Shevchenko. The ref seemed to miss the foul and the ball flew to the back post where Hargreaves was waiting to tap the ball in. Redcar Royals 0-1 Transvestite Rodeo Clowns.

Shortly afterwards Shevchenko had a chance to double their lead, this time Flamini played the through ball and Sheva hit it first time from the edge of the box. It beat keeper Jaaskalinen only to narrowly go wide.

At half time the home crowd soundly boo'd there players off the park poor effort and also a goal behind.

The second half looked much brighter for Redcar, they came out stronger and managed to fasion there first chance of the game. Downing was hacked down by Terry on the edge of the box after some good play, giving Redcar a free kick in a good position. Tevez stepped up to take it and dipped it over the wall, Friedel scrambled across his goal and made a fine save.

Redcar Royals started to pile on the pressure getting a second chance only 20 mins later. Downing whipped the ball into box and Babel got a free header just 6 yards out, Babel is not known for his heading ability and he sure wont be now, he headed the ball straight in the air and Freidel came out to collect.

On 75 mins TRC started to pick up there game and as a result started to create chances. Carragher made a good run down the wing and cut it back for Barnes who hit it first time into the box, Shevchenko flicked it on at the near post and Flamini headed toward goal at the back post from just 2 yards out, however Jaaskalinen made what has to be a contender for save of the season, brilliant reaction to knock it behind for a corner!

Hargreaves swung the corner in and Terry got his head to it, he hit it low and it bounced into the back of the net. But the ref disallowed it, he judged Terry to have shirt pulled Senderos he was certainly mistaken. I think the ref did that to make up for his poor desicion earlier.

A few minutes later Shevchenko had to be subsituted (for McFadden) after he picked up an injury. It seems that he has injured his knee and will not be able to play for up to 2 weeks. This is a sore blow to TRC.

The rest of the game passed without major incident. TRC can be happy with the result they may not play the best football but it sure is working for them. Today many predicted a humping for Redcar Royals it turned out not to be the case however Cena has a lot of work to do to avoid bottom spot in the table, after a disapointing transfer window because of manager changes.

Redcar Royals 0-1 Transvestite Rodeo Clowns

Emo United manager Sam Levi speant much of the week ckanging his training schedule although the reasons for this are unclear it is said to be due to "pmc being an idiot". His opponents today are TWAT who failed to impress in their first game can they turn that around today?

Match Report:
TWAT went attacking staright from the first whistle, with Muntari burstig forward and slipping the ball through to Adebayor who ran on through and into the box however he was out-muscled by Alan Stubbs and fell to the ground, the referee imedeately waved play on dspite decent appeals for a penalty.

Elano took up the ball and proceded to lead a counter attack against TWAT, Emo United got up the pitch in numbers and had a 3 v1 situation near the TWAT penalty box. Elano played it to Torres who was left with a glorious chance to score but he scuffed his shot wide diapointingly.

Emo United continued to play like this they sat back and easily defended everything that was thrown at them and hit quickly on the counter every time they did TWAT failed to defend these counter attacks and only poor finishing from Emo United stopped them form taking the lead.

At half time Sam Levi was easily the happiest manager except for one small problem the fact his star striker Fernando Torres was having the worst game of his life.

Again at the start of the second half Emo United invited on pressure, TWAT took the bait and they proceeded to slaughter the TWAT defense. On 51 mins this happened once more with Larsson giving the ball away stupidly and Fabregas braking away. He found acres of space and got all the way to the box before Gallas closed him down, Torres was free once more in the box however Fabregas chose this time to shoot himself it was a poor effort and an easy save for Cech.

After this the game turned a bit sour with bad challenges flying in everywhere and nearly everyone getting booked, it was inevitable that someone would get sent off, and this happened on 69 mins. Gallas made a bad challenge on Rosicky and this enraged O'Niell who proceeded to punch and kick shit out of Gallas, and of course Gallas took exception to this and kicked studs first into O'Niell. Safe to say both were sent off.However the CCFA somehow decided not to extend their one match bands further.
SUBS Rosicky off for Todd (sam)
Savage off for A. Ferdinand (lozzi)

Finally TWAT managed to come up with a decent chance, this week it seemed their team did not want to cave like they had done previously and it was Larsson who provided the chance, he made a good run and played a pass towards Adebayor, however the ball was defelcted into the path of Muntari who struck it first time. The net rippled because the ball had hit the side netting.

In the dying moments Torres made a great chance to redeem himslef. He ran 30 yards up the pitch taking out several defenders, this time his finish was brilliant he lobbed it over Cech who could do nothing to stop it, Torres i a likely hero, Anton Ferdinand isnt but it was the latter who turned out to be on today as he cleared the ball off the line.

Emo United controlled the game playing good and very clever football, the were unfortunate not to win, a reilien TWAT side held on due to determination and a little good fortune that Emo United filed to finsh off some brilliant moves.

Emo United 0-0 The Wierd Alternative Team

Kranjcar 23
Zarate 21
Huddlestone 21

Icedagger is reported to have had several key players miss his initial training sessions due to mass confusion however he revealed that he still thought his players were ready. He even went as far as to predict his team would win the league where as Red Stick would have to settle for a mid-table finish.

Match Report:
Surprisingly it was the away side who got the better of the early exchanges with Ronaldo and Alonso both playing blinders. It was those two who combined for the first chance of the match. Alonso took the ball round Makelele and threaded through Ronaldo who done a few trademark stepovers and fired a powerful shot in on Almunia, the spannish keeper was a match for it and made the save look easy.

5 mins later Alonso burst through the Norfolk defense and had a shot of his own, again Almunia made a godd save this time only maging to palm it out for a corner. Ronaldo swung this in with pace and Bent made decent contact however once again Almunia was a match for the shot.

On 28 mins Norfolk managed to create their first major chance of the game with a series of sharp passes throughout the midfield, eventually the ball was played through for Rooney who beat Clichy and hammered the ball towards the bottom corner of the net, however you look at it it was a great goal. Norfolk and Chance 1-0 Red Stick Cajuns

After this Norfolk greatly grew in confidence and started putting together some nice moves. Shortly after their first goal Nani skinned Ashley Cole and cut inside the box, he played the ball square passed Reina heading straight for Rooney, In came Lucas sliding to clear the ball, however he nearly scored an own goal as his clearence jst went wide of the post.

In a decent first half Norfolk came out on to despite Red Stick controlling parts of the game.

The second half was less exciting in the beggining. Norfolk failed to really get on the ball as RSC controlled possesion and worked their opponents hard. On 59 mins they got a chance to capitalise on their superior second half display. Ronaldo made another good run down the wing and crossed the ball into the box, Bent got up for the header once more and this time made sure that Almunia couldnt save it, greeat header and RSC get what they deserved. Norfolk and Chance 1-1 Red Stick Cajuns

After this Norfolk lifted their game to try and get back in front. Red Stick defended well however and it took a long time for Nofolk to penitrate their defense. On 76 mins Gerrard used his strength to burst through a crowd of players and get a power shot away, it rebounded off the post andRooney followed it up with a decent effort only for it to be well saved by Reina.

On 84 mins they made another break through the RSC defense. This time it was Finnan who had left his defensive duties to pursue an attack. He dragged in the defenders around him before slipping the ball through to Rooney who went through on goal, he hit his shot hard and high, so hard and high the ball is unlikely ever to be found again.

Shortly afterwards the game ended, it was a great game and both sides have lots to look forward to in the coming season as it was an impressive display all round.

Norfolk and Chance 1-1 Red Stick Cajuns
Rooney 28----------------Bent 59
