kipfizh Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 I'm not being mean and delaying a report - I haven't finished all the sections so I'm just giving you some information ahead of time..... --- As half time approached, the Villa matched was evenly poised at 0-0, and the Bandits were hanging on to the same score thanks to the efforts of Dave Banks, their reserve keeper, in for the injured James Wade. But on the stroke of half time, the Bandits counter attacked and scored the goal that took them out of the relegation zone for the time being. At the midway point, they led 1-0 while Villa remained deadlocked. The half time message was simple – they had to win this – they couldn’t rely on a Villa loss in a match they were beginning to take control of. As the second half progressed, it became a Man City onslaught as the Bandits fans clung to their radios, desperate for good news elsewhere. With sixteen minutes to go, it all went wrong. The QPR keeper had been sent off for a professional foul outside the box, and with all three substitutes used, they had to send an outfield player in goal. Suddenly Aston Villa sensed safety. They had sixteen minutes to score against an outfield player, and they would be safe even if the Bandits clung on to a victory that was also looking unlikely. But Villa attacked too hard, and only two minutes after the sending off they were hit on the break, QPR taking a crucial lead. The Bandits’ fans went berserk in celebration, but only three minutes later their joy was curtailed by a Villa equaliser. With ten minutes to go, a goal to either Man City or the now dominant Aston Villa would condemn them to the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonBlade Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Wow. Tense stuff!! I feel like I'm waiting for next sundays episode of 24. However, even if it does all go pear-shaped for El Banditos, they now have the kind of squad that will decimate the Championship. So maybe a quick drop and bounce back wont hurt them too much.

stevereay Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 In the next ten minutes Villa battered the QPR goal however at this time prashant Ditarni had driven a bus direct into the villa park power grid putting the light out and the ref ending the game 10 mins early with the match locked at 1-1 only a win for the bandits would now keep them up. Man City Legend Colin Bell struck a last minute equaliser against the mighty bandits and it looked like the Bandits are down but the manager makes an inspired subtitution replacing the poor front line with the ghosts of Karl Fletcher and Curtis Alexander. Bandits grab an injury time winner and save the day. Oops Thats the Dream Team Ending. Come On Kipfizh I'm dying here is it glory or bust for the Banditios!!!!

shota92 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I hope this is the way updates will be presented in the future.The way the last few seasons have bee going a comic strip or even a television programme could have been based on this clubs exploits. I cannot wait to find out surviving relegation would be a massive thing for the bandits. Lets all give our support to the outfielder in goal you couldnt m,ake this stuff up. Excellent Kip.

kipfizh Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Just so you know, you're not the only tense ones - towards the end of the last few seasons I've been feeling the same way, accidentally becoming a complete Bandits fan I go through most of the season on holiday, stopping every 2-3 weeks after the transfer window shuts, just to see what's going on, but when we get to March I sneak through it match by match, alternating between optimism and despair for them. I couldn't write a better story than the one that unfolds before my eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So using the obvious logic of what we think will happen won't.... Man City score 3 in four minutes while a QPR backpass bobbles past the prone replacement keeper. The Bandits are down.

crafty bison Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I do wonder why the managers in the Premiership are all so crap. Is it an indication of declining average staff quality, or declining absolute number of top staff, or insufficient selectivity of clubs? What would be interesting is if someone could post a list of current (i.e. start FM07 season) Premiership club managers and their abilities. I would, but I only have FM05 and I think a like-for-like comparison makes more sense. Keep up the good work, I only discovered this thread yesterday and have already read every post by kipfizh.

kipfizh Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Haha, good spot, I'll have to be more careful about that in future!!! The goal never came for Villa, QPR's defence held firm and protected the keeper, so the Bandits stayed up in remarkable style, and with a great deal of luck.
