Season 10!

Well, the changes are in, the cup fixtures are up and its that time for me to be as pessimistic as ever :P

I'ma try make a decent cup run this year, and may not be as pushy for the league. I have a feeling that one of the sleeping giants in my league has awoken for a promotion run.. so that should be interesting.

Anyway -

League prediction - 4th.
Cup- Out in round 5/6

Managed a win today, first time since S9R's 8&9 that I have managed that feat. Got a tough opponent in Menage A Quinze next weekend.

Anyone have any ideas/tactics on how I can come away with 4 points and make it 3 wins on the bounce?

Look at his Logins, He only logs in twice a month, usually both the same day.

Last login was 18th Oct, so there should be no movement before mid/ early nov.

I'll have a look over previous stats etc and send you a mail. Just incase there's a lurker etc...

To be honest I didn't expect to win by so much, was surprised - but guess it was down to the stamina differences

tipping along nicely, apart from a opening match blip! playing your replacement on saturday so that will demonstrate how season will pan out.

do you think you will survive in div II?

Orizio

It was probably down to the defence system I play for friendlies.

I was taking the piss old chap, I didn't expect an answer. :P I see the fellow that got relagated is very strong though, looks I got out at the right time.

I think I may survive, I beat my two main competitors by 10-15 points over the last fortnight (both were at home). More encouringly the week before I lost by a point away to a team looking for a play-off space.

I always start developing a new defence and then end up stopping & having to start again! must be more committed to it!

I know you were, but decided to be nice to you for once! since you're not in my league anymore no need for animosity!

ah sure you're keeping head above water so, might see you there next season if I can get one over clontarf...and manage to fall into your league!

Cup match tonight, against a decent Div II side on the face of it. but his energy levels in his big players are woeful. I went with normal in the gamble the highest he would go for was normal but expecting him to WNWIM & hoping I had the tactics to beat him.

Stars are looking good for me before KO... Let's go!:D

Still a few Div III boardsies left - lets show what we are made of! WilE lets show em what Div III.14 is made of!

Its me your playing (Couch Potatoes) low energy levels all around as TNT'd the last 3 cup and 2 out of last 3 league games. I went with Normal as well as a defence that is less than impressive I expect you to beat me tonight. I need to start getting points in the league so no harm for me to go out of the cup. Enjoy the big pay day!

Well if I have to lose then to a boardie is acceptable. To be honest when I first looked at team last week I was about to give in, but in analyzing you and energy levels even it out a bit. The stars are fairly even, you ahead in some me ahead in some.

may the best man win:)

Playin' Johnnybegood tonight... stars were quite close with me just getting the edge on some. Few minutes into the match it seems I made a serious tactical error. I'll be lucky to survive.

Currently 3-3 , but he's constantly down at my try-line, the cheeky hoor!

****
Now it's 20-10. It was stupidly close for way too much. He keeps making mad line-breaks but thankfully my defense has been solid.
****
27-10 with 5 mins to go. I think it's time to replace the beer of sorrow with the champagne of joy.

Nail biting stuff there definetly a good game tighter than the stats suggest. What a last 5mins or so!!!

Rollercoaster final 10 alright, lead has changed hands every minute it seems - not good for you if you take this sort of thing seriously!!:D

Excellent match for the neutral browser eh?!

Frankie - do a write up of our game!;)

Edit: Cheers scrummage, was a great game for a wet wednesday evening. on another day it could have gone you way, I acutally thought you had won with the penalty considering I hadn't really threathened your line for most of the half. Good luck in your league!

Bogwarriors v Curly Sue Death Squad
and
Everyone Likes A Tryer v Yermen

2 Boardsies will definitely qualify to the last 8 then. A great draw from that point of view, and well done to all for getting this far.

A lot of teams punching above their weight this week. The pressure of league competition really seems to help in the DivIII vs DivII contests.

FewFew

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUdge...

Monivea vs Gerryhatrick
Cream of the Crop vs Apoel Cormo..
Bogwarriors vs Curly Sue Death Squad (my last post... oh my last post..)
V.D. Ruff vs Mumu
Everyone Likes a.. vs Yermen
Deise Rfc vs Open Side
Tralee Titans vs City of Derry
Southern Mauraders vs Cork Southsiders

That's a very interesting draw.

Two Boards derbys (which means at least two boards teams are through to Round 9)
At least 1 Div 1 face-off (or is there more? ...)

At a glance I'm thinking round 9 will be...

Monivea
Cream of the Crop
Bogwarriors
V.D. Ruffians
Everyone Likes a ...
Open Side
City of Derry (toughy)
Cork Southsiders

Kilsough South were less than a try away from Southern Mauraders. That would have been a div IV team in round 8... would have been impressive. I'm not counting Open Side as Div IV!

Yeah, I'll be taking it easy this weekend too, my gents are knackered.

Ah I didn't jinx ya, but I've beaten Yermen a few times (I think) but never the blasted Bogwarriors. Just scoped out Dave's bloody team, haven't found the weak spot yet.

Looked up historical fixtures, and played yerman a good bit back and won... so now to be not over confident!

I know! Me too! I got as far as round 7 twice, but that was really a case of lucking out and getting Div IV teams in the draw. This time I've actually had comparable/better teams against me, so I'm delighted.
