Looks like a couple of you rookies managed to squeeze your way into pot 1 with the champs.

World number 1s in pot two. Hope we get them so we can take them casuals out.

Seemed inevitable we'd be there given our mauling of the 'champs' at the weekend.

Poor Finn Harps.

Enjoy it while it lasts you've probably peaked too early.

No peaks for us, we're no mountain, more like one of those crazy places in South America with an altitude thousands of metres above sea level.

Damn, my hit took me just out of this list. Well done to Lemlin and iroced

Worldwide acclaim. This day tops the births of my two kids.

Makes sense that you're using a South America analogy as you must be high to think you're going to get anywhere vs us when it matters.

I didn't actually think we'd dominate the top seeds so much. Hadn't really looked at any of the other teams to suss out the standard but certainly didn't think almost all the teams would be top seed.

Its pretty impressive I wouldn't be surprised if we did see a couple of teams in the quarters at least.

I definitely think that is a good probability. Once it hits knockouts one bad week could kill you, but I think with our ORs we all have a good chance in a group scenario.

Living on past achievements Jimmi, sounds like a man under pressure of the FSA Renegades coming to send your squad into the also rans of this competition!

FHFC · 07-10-2015 8:14pm

Ah, lookit we'll never have the budget to compete with some of these other sides. When you look at their squads, lads like Lemlin, busts, the French fella, lookit, they're premier division players! We just need to work hard and not make it easy for them. All I can guarantee the supporters is we'll not be found wanting for honesty of effort.

It's the Ollie Horgan school of playing down your own chances to a comical level for the uninitiated.

If by past you mean current champions then I guess we are. We're happy for you guys to ride on our coat tails on this one all you johnny come latelys will be dropping by the wayside pretty quickly once things get serious.

The good thing about the team format is often you are able to ride out one team or even two having a bad week. Teams were rampant with their hits last year in the final we started 20 points up or something stupid like that talk about trying to take yourself out before it even starts!

iroced · 07-10-2015 11:32pm

Ah lads it's no place for fighting yet. First let's all reach the Quarters and make full FSA Semis. Yeah, let's rule the world first and then have no mercy for each other to grab the laurel wreath :pac:.

Our 5 FSA teams in the top26 (out of 80 teams): 4 top seed and 1 second tier. 3 of our teams in the GW8 top7 and 2 of our managers in the GW8 top9. If there was any time to praise ourselves, it is now

I probably jumped the gun on this a little. By my count it's a 16 point lead with Ayew vs Gomis and Naughton

Don't think the real thing starts for a couple of weeks.

Our one. Real one isn't til week 11 and we're both seeded so didn't end up in the same group.

But the Mikita cup was a chance for the creme de la prems of the world to win a bit of silverware, you should be embracing this competition because you never know when you'll meet the anti Ramseys on an off week.;)

Could someone from each team post the scores for their team for gw 8 and 9 and I'll do the table later.

GW 8 : We had our rest.
GW 9 : 63 + 60 + 62 + 75 = 260.

FHFC · 20-10-2015 11:02pm

Ollie's Army
GW8 vs Renegades....388
GW9 vs Boards FSA...218

Was hoping we had a week off this week. Have we lost every game so far?

Harps don't really do preseason.

F1ngers · 20-10-2015 11:03pm

Boards FSA:

gw8 = 89 + 104 + 113 + 76 = 383
gw9 = 34 + 70 + 44 + 52 = 200

Wtf. We won this week!?!?

Finnharpsboy our hero with 67 and a pathetic 43 from the captain.

Edit. We've actually won 2 out of 3. We're doin well and showing our character to be competing with the resources we've got. Tis hard to get players to come to Donegal. We've had a few oddballs from Dublin way over the years mind you.

Starting to worry that this might be like at 5-a-side where after a few minutes it becomes blatantly clear that the teams are unfair and you need to switch it around to give the other team a chance.

finnharpsboy · 21-10-2015 7:17pm

How it looks after GW 9

GW7- Boards FSA 199 v 181 FSA Renegades , Ollie Horgan 180 v 120 Creme de le Prem
GW8- Boards FSA 384 v 402 Anti Anti Ramseys , Ollie Horgan 388 v 432 FSA Renegades
GW9- Boards FSA 200 v 218 Ollie Horgan , Anti Anti Ramseys 275 v 260 Creme de le Prem
