RULES:

In order to maintain the league, a number of rules have been laid out. Any violations of this code of conduct can be sent to the league co-ordinators (Crosáidí/thewools) and each issue will be investigated.

1) Disconnections
No player is allowed to intentionally disconnect for any reason. Any disconnections during a league game must be made known to the league co-ordinators. However, accidental disconnections do occur and the rules have been written to take this into account. If a player disconnects while they are winning, a rematch is immediately scheduled. However, if a player disconnects while drawing or losing the game, a walkover is awarded to the other player. Each player is responsible for their own connection. These rules are final and the cause of the disconnect is irrelevant once it occurs, no exceptions will be given so do not contact players directly looking for a rematch.

2) Last man tackling
Fifa 10 is a soccer simulation and while slide tackling is encouraged when needed, intentional attempts to take out the last man (an attacking player that only has the keeper to beat) will not be tolerated. A defender is allowed to slide in from the side as there is a good chance that he will win the ball. However, when someone slides in from directly behind (from the 5-7 O'Clock positions) and the striker is between the defender and the ball, this will not be tolerated. Players like this can usually be indentified by a low foul:card ratio.

3) Settings
While this rule is unenforcable, each player is expected to have all assistance settings on default.

4) Holidays
If a player is going away on holidays and unable to play their fixtures for a short period then they must contact the co-ordinators in advance and let them know. They will post on the fixtures thread a note to allow that player to play the games for the weeks he is away in advance. Only those fixtures can be played in advance and any others will be void if played.

5) Unplayed fixtures
Due to the amount of unplayed fixtures in previous season we will be bringing in a new rule to make sure people make an effort to play their games. We will have intervals in the season such as the half-way point (we will post specific dates before the season begins) where we will look at the numbers of games played. Players will be expected to have a set amount of games played by this time. If a player has failed to play this amount of games they will be docked 3 points. Every player is responsible for their own fixtures and getting them played. If you find a player is not responding to your messages about organising fixtures then contact the co-ordinators.

6) People Quitting Mid Season
Due to various reasons we have players who sometimes are unable to complete the league season. In the case of these players any remaining fixtures they have will be awarded a walkover to their opponent. Any games played previously will stand as at this stage the person was still active in the league. If a player quits they are automatically placed at the bottom of the table and will take one of the relegation places at the end of the season. This allows us to keep a group of players in each league who are dedicated to playing their games and making the season enjoyable for everyone involved.

7) Arranging Fixtures
If you are arranging to play a weekly fixture, post on boards.ie to arrange it with your opponent, this will show the league co-ordinators that you have attempted to contact and play your opponent. You can re-inforce your attempts by sending PMs on boards.ie and PSN after you have posted your request to play. If your opponent doesn't respond to your requests, you may be awarded the points.

8) Walkovers
Walkovers are generally a 3-0 win, if however you are playing and a disconnection happens and you are winning by a magin of more than 3 goals then that result will stand

Please post all Results on this thread as soon as possible after a game.

Also I would recommend the following to everyone within this league:

• Subscribe to this thread - hence you will get email alerts of all new posts. Go to Thread Tools at the top of the Thread and subscribe if you wish.
• Add all League members as friends on PSN. You will then see opponent online / offline and be able to contact via PSN.
• Arrange game times either via PM on boards, PSN or on this thread.

I hope this league is as successful as season 2 and everyone continues to play on regardless of the result.

BTW I am not afraid to wield the axe; if players disobey the rules or make no attempt to play their games: I WILL FORFEIT your games and BAN you from any future leagues.

Porto 6 - 2 Wolfsburg

VERY attacking game, lots of shots and last ditch tackles, exciting game. Lprof started off well with an early goal but I got 2 quick goals but it was back and forth till the end though. I scored some good goals though by using the low drilled cross and short snappy passing.

It all started off so well, but I quickly found myself a step behind all over the pitch and after that, the result was inevitable. A pity I couldn't have been a bit more clinical.

Sorry, but this was driving me mad!
