Season 36

[July Fourth]

Rudal Jaya 0-5 Julio Quatro Champions League Group E Round 5

Julio Quatro have already qualified and ended Rudal Jaya's unlikely chances of Qualifying with an easy win, P.McNamara was the star of the show in this game, not really been the big star at Julio Quatro since purchase from scout last season, he hit a first half brace, Novotny provided Top Scorer Kevin Mensah to head home just before half-time, Holvoet got our next from a P.McNamara cross and there was still time for Player-Manager L.McNamara to get the 5th for Julio Quatro.

Haven't posted for some days now and will get back to that very soon, just didn't had the time for it in the last days.

Just wanted to share this with you:

Had a sick League match some minutes ago

Home game
75 % possession
Opponent wasn't here
Played a counterformation against his formation
19.0 vs 14.9
All my players had 100% morale and 100% condition at the beginning of the game
Opponent fouls 4 times in first half, no yellows
All 4 free kicks from my 5* freekick-specialist into the wall
I'm getting chance after chance, no goal
Made some subs, last sub in 73rd minute
The player I sent onto the pitch in the 73rd minute gets injured in 76th minute, has to pause for 5 days
Have to play 10v11
77th minute: Opponent suddenly shoots out of nowhere
0:1
Luckily I scored the equaliser in the 88'...

Not upset or so, just wanted to share

[VriheddMartin]

20 matches played this season,and the stats:!7(W)-0(D)-3(L).Goals:68-12.
First league game lost today

The CL looks interesting,all four still with chances to go thru:

[Accyrover]

CL won 0-4 Tim Sherwood scores on his club debut after 1 minutes after Cid left the full back for dead pulling the ball back for Sherwood to let fly taking the keeper into the back of net clutching the ball in his chest.

On 36min Shearer was given a through ball from Wilcox which he dully blasted into the top corner, the third coming on 46min when Tugay was given a yellow for tripping the striker but for some strange reason the free kick was given in Ravers favour, Shearer taking it quickly crossing high with Garner charging into the head in off the cross bar.

The 65th minute brought Sherwoods second when he met a Glenn Keeley corner heading into the top corner.
So at 0-4 and the game done and dusted three subs are in the process of the fourth official checking them over before being allowed into play, bang! Wilcox injured has to leave the field, wee Duggy was replacing him in any case, Keeley had had two close calls early doors after some early encounters with Bebo FC MC Caserosa who was also booked late into the game, Crompton replacing Keeley and Diaz for Tugay concluded the three substitutions, job done!, run the clock down and lets get home from this hell hole in Italy, NO! they were not letting us off the hook that easy on 86min Shearer is taken out of the game after a tackle by DC Egger, an early assessment by the medics say he'll be out for for two days with a sore ankle and Wilcox for four with a hammy.

Good results for the day soured by the injuries.

The big match. Could Rangers pull off the cup upset to advance to the round of 16?
All looked good at halftime, as the match remained scoreless. Both sides had opportunities but nobody could capitalize. In the 49th minute SV Eckerncamp scored to make it 1-0 (2-2) changing the complexion of the game. Now we needed a goal. Alas, it was not to be. Eckerncamp added goals in the 60th and 87th minutes to put an end to our upset dreams. Disappointing, to be sure, but we put a scare into a much stronger side.

Won league match 2-0 to stay atop the tables, Kupalang continues to shine.

Wed, Jan 23
Pointless Champions league match, played the reserves. Jhaylton FC fighting to stay alive played hard and we gave up only our second goal of the season in CL, but still cruised to a 3-1 win.

League game against the 4th place uss sermaize. It was one of those games. Statistically, we dominated, but trailed 1-0 at halftime. Players were exhausted. Checked tactics - thought I'd mis-set to whole pitch/hard tackling. Nope. Sent in two fresh players and changed formations. ST berezin gets two goals (55', 68') and things are looking noral again .. but then two swift goals for sermaize and we're trailing 3-2 .... prior to this game we'd given up three TOTAL goals in league (2 in CL, 7 in cup) Marzuki evened it up in the 84th, but despite pouring in everything we had nothing else would go through and we settled for a shocking draw and for the first time all season, we're trailing on the league tables.

On our way to Portugal tomorrow for a match against our friend, primary competitor and current table leader Nut FC.

Just picked up a bargain buy...

Gabriel Ekholm (ST) - 19 y/o, 5*(34)... One skill point from scout... Paid 5 tokens plus $5.54M. Fast trainer too, finally something decent! Worth staying up lol...

He'll be my 3rd striker, mainly bench material but I have plans for this kid long term!

[PricopGeorgeCătălin]

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...I coming in Romania for 2 days...andi will talk with you in 3 eyes...

Why 3? You are missing one? I will see, I will like to come to Timisoara, but I don't know when I will finish with my project, monday final exam ! )

[PricopGeorgeCătălin]

You have gotta know when the best time to bid on players.

Yes July, but you need to have luck too, to get players like that.

[PricopGeorgeCătălin]

League game sooner, thats something good but again I won't be able to watch my game from CUP, I will be away at that time, anyway,I think I will get a 5-0 )
