Champions League: Buffs FC draw away from home against Bocboc United.
Bocboc set out in a 5-4-1 and Buffs looked to open them up with a 3-4-1-2 but Bocboc proved to be no chickens.
Dalglish opened the scoring in the 9th minute and Buffs continued to create chances but proved off target too often. The home side equalised after 57 mins and Buffs shuffled the pack to 4-5-1V to push for a lead in the tie. But 1-1 it finished.
League: Buffs FC travel to Saudi Arabia to meet the 3rd placed team, having dropped 2 points to them at home earlier in the season. The Buffs recorded a 5-2 victory and stay 4 clear.
It was a good old 'Game of Two Halves'. The Buffs romped to a 4-0 lead by HT then the home side got a player stretchered off (no replacement) and scored; Buffs Mad thought "A one-off slip up" and they scored again. XD McCoist left it late to maintain his goal-a-game streak but converted a penalty near the end - the home side finished with 9 men.
The home side marshalled its troops in a 3N-2W-3N-2 and the Buffs (hampered by training injuries and suspensions) went ND instead of the 4-3N-3 they had planned on.
Goals: Souness (1), McStay (11, 30), Dalglish (34), McCoist (72).
League: Buffs FC were at home to 4th placed team. The Buffs dominated the match and won 6-0 but the 1st half gave more reward for their eforts with 4 goals. The offense seemed to get lazy and off target with a decent lead.
Buffs stepped out in a ND against the opposition 4-4-2 flat - short passing was the key to today's success against a counter-attacking opponent.
Goals: McCoist (3, 35), McFadden (19, 44), Gemmill (71), Hutton (83).
Now Buffs Mad must get his act together to find a system to unlock the CL opponents 4-4-1-1 to progress.
Champions League: The Buffs 100% Champions League winning streak comes to an end with a 2-1 loss at home.
Bocboc United set out in a 4-4-2 but immediately changed to a 5-4-1. Buffs FC had emerged in a 4-4-1-1. Buffs Mad broke his golden rule by starting in Attacking mode and with the visitors gaining the edge in possession they took an early lead in 7 mins - so Buffs Mad took the intensity back a notch. With the Buffs starting to gain a foothold they were rocked again just after half-time to go 0-2. It would now take 3 goals to save the Buffs so they switched to a hex while the Manger warmed up the subs. Henderson on the right wing then pulled one back.
Buffs Mad completed the switch going 3N at the back, pushing Mckay into DMC and bringing on Dalglish in a 2 man attack to attempt to control possession against this defensive counter-attacking side. A string of corners and a couple of FKs came but still there was no second goal - the away defense was rock solid in the air. A final push was made with Mackay going off and McFadden playing in 'the hole'. Nada, zilch, nichts.......1-2 it stayed.
Lost in the CL? must be a troll. 
Somebody is going to get a real spanking in the league for this.
PS. Think I'll go buy a pram and some toys.
