Subject: New Season

How did you all get on then?
Hopes crushed already or are things looking good?

4-0 nice. its all about the strikers! hopefully i can compete with bad tactics this year, sultans also looking a good team

2-2 away to EvilBunny. I'm not sure whether to be happy or not. I was 2 up and dominating at halftime, 2nd half was a different story and i just about escaped with a point.

2-0 win for me with my new Brazil influenced formation working out quite well.

Cremartins traditional injury to Donegan against me didn't do him any favours though.

1-1 draw for me, Ill take that!

4-0. Nice start.

I may be wrong but the cup should work out as

32.Limerick Irons Vs 1.Bad Tactics
31.Revengeful Snakes Vs 2.Cremartin FC
30.Apoel Cormosia FC Vs 3.Sultans of Ping F.C.
29.evilbunny united Vs 4.Nonnie`s Nonsters
28.The Miracles Vs 5.winston`s wazzocks
27.Cork Frogs Vs 6.Drogheda united
26.Mossy Tomcats Vs 7.GB Rovers
25.looprevil Vs 8.Drunken Wanderers
24.Perfect Owls Vs 9.Sharp Stools
23.Cork Wolves Vs 10.Irish
22.The Force Vs 11.Shameless Harps
21.United County Vs 12.Vibrating Dung
20.cois na habhann Vs 13.Killygarry FC
19.Barnet FC Vs 14.Super Athletico
18.Irish Gunners Vs 15.best of the west
17.IGM F.C. Vs 16.bells_gonna_get_ya

The numbers are the cup seeding. The higher your number, the more screwed you are.

Not too bad for you. You lucked out getting Winstons Wazzocks compared to the teams around that level :)

Although if things go as they should you get me next round ;)

I think Cremartin are next up for me. EvilBunny for you i expect.
I deserved some luck frankly, i got screwed by the league and cup draw this week.
Very pleased to win convincingly though, considering i didn't get the chance to change my team around because of the server problems (yet again)

Next cup round

Evilbunny Vs Bad Tactics
The Miracles Vs Cremartin FC
Perfect Owls Vs Sultans of Ping F.C.
The Force Vs Drogheda united
bells gonna get ya Vs GB Rovers
Best of the West Vs Drunken Wanderers
Super Athletico vs Irish
Killygarry Vs Vibrating Dung

I guess my unbeaten run comes to an end tonight. I expect the quarters will be

Super Athletico Vs Bad Tactics
Killygarry Vs Cremartin
Drunken Wanderers Vs Sultans of Ping FC
GB Rovers Vs Drogheda

Oh well, lost 1-2. Their attack had a little too much for my defence but i'm far from unhappy as we won posession and had them in their own half. I feel a draw would have been justified considering they have the better players.
I shall be back for the cup next season, armed with a better defence!

Good showing from the Miracles but just a step too far this time round.

I left it a bit late in my game :) I hadn't noticed that Welchy had got a replacement keeper in for his injured one so I played Craig "Chance Black Hole" Talliss to try and get his form up. Super Athletico will be a tough game for me next round.

Don't worry, It wasn't a clever last minute ploy. I only got back from a weeks holiday an hour before the match and found my keeper injured. Ah well, I expected to get a stuffing in that game, i'm quite happy wiht a one -nil loss

Semi Finals -

GB Rovers - Bad Tactics
Sultans of Ping F.C. - Cremartin FC

The first of two games in a week between the two Shane's :) Personally I'm hoping the upcoming Hattrick Masters keep the GB Rovers management distracted ;)

The other semi looks very closely matched - I reckon the Sultans strikers might edge it, but then again Cremartin have some good centre backs :)

I'd back the Sultans seeing as they won their last meeting.
