Season 43

[July Fourth]

ROYAL RUMBLE CUP - 1ST ROUND, 2ND LEG

July Fourth 0-1 PIPPO FC

PIPPO FC win 4-0 on aggregate
July Fourth 127.2 4-1-3W-1-1 then 70 minutes 4-5-1 V - PIPPO FC 134.1 4-DMC-3WAM-2

This will go down as a frustrating defeat because unlike the 1st leg where we were outplayed by our higher level opponents today we played quite well and managed to live with them at home with creating more chances than they did, Pietropaolo and Ramirez for us were our best chances getting clear through on goal but both teams the PIPPO GK was able to deflect the ball away for a corner, they scored midway through the second half quite typically from 9* McLoughlin from distance and we decided to switch to the V and again Watson with a solo effort fired a shot wide near the end of the game.

Goals: McLoughlin (70) MOTM Nijs (Their GK)

Team Talk: We definately deserved at least a draw here but again its always difficult against a team like this, but at least we can say we gave it our best shot at this and we were always likely to come up short, we can get on with the more important competitions this season.

A bit unlucky that you were thrown into the shark cup. Makes you wonder what they will give you for the league. Imagine one with NAMO and Batigo United

It wouldn't put it past me if I did end up in a league like that... GRRR.... Could well be a few teams I've played before or at least came across.

I will soon be able to determine tonight if indeed this was the Shark Cup.

Have you ever had a season with only league fixtures?

Have you ever had a season with only league fixtures?

No... I've always been the Champions League and in the older days I would always be getting to the later stages of the old cup format.
