Boskovic Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Update - SalPa - 2011 Pre Season Due to the financial problems incurred at the end of last season its been a quiet winter. Made a couple of signings tho. ------------------------------------- ANNUAL LAURI DELLA VALLE REPORT ------------------------------------- My battle to sign Lauri continued with FC Hameenlinna this time asking for £65k. Again due to financial worries there was not much of an effort to him this year. ------------------------------------- The Fans player of the year was awarded to Patrik Lomski for his 20 goals in 26 games. Season Best 11 Overall Best 11 The highlighted players are this years inductees ------------------------------------- Youth Player Watch ------------------------------------- Best Youth Player - Antti-Pekka Moilanen Best player from this years intake Nobody has been promoted to the first team sqad this season Jarno Turonen (2009) - Jarno was promoted to the first team in 2009, he had a steady season covering when ever injuries and suspensions allowed him Petri Eskola (2010) - Petri played in most games last season at the young age of 16. He became our youngest player and youngest goalscorer. He started ot as left back but was moved into a DM position half way through Tapio Linna (2010) - Tapio was used rarely making just a couple of sub appearances Jarkko Kekkonen (2010) - Jarkko immediatly settled into the first team playing most of the season as first choice right back. Many Premier Div sides have been tryed to lure him away this winter. ------------------------------------- TRANSFER INFO ------------------------------------- Tommi Laurila Tommi was bought in as back up but may easily find himself in the first 11 if players underachieve. He can play both center mid and center half. Jussi Aijala Jussi was confirmed just after last years deadline and finally arrived at the clb in november. He will be first choice left back for the start of the campaign Juha Soukaila Juha wil be given the nod over our other new keeper as the number 1 de to his experience. Juha Bjorndahl Same first name, same position. Juha Jr. will be our sub keeper this year and at just 18 is a good future prospect Eero Lindberg Eero returns for another season on loan. The fast center half proved very usefull last season Again i had hundreds of (Expected) bids for Werner Kaitila and David Ramadingaye but i rejected all offers and they both seem happy enough to stay with us. Also this year Patrik Lomski, Kettunen, Kekkonen and Markkula were also hot property with plenty of bids for all 6 of them. ------------------------------------- SEASON PREVIEW ------------------------------------- Promotion Odds Considered amongst the favourites by the bookies. Our board would be happy with another respectable finish. Im hoping for the play off place at least. I think promotion is needed to keep hold of my better players this year. Were in financial difficulties and ive only offered a low bonus for the league which has upset most the squad. The sale of a big star may be needed to keep our head above water.

Jimbokav1971 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Gundo. Don't worry too much about a "not winning streak". Concentrate on not losing and everything will fall into place in time. johnny. Well done against CSKA. Could you end the trio's dominance this year? ghost. You seem to be really struggling but you said there are "2 god-awful teams in the division". Are you one of them and it's 1 to go down, or is it 2 to go down and you are keeping aheadv of the 2 God-awful teams by just being a bit carp rather than God-awful ? iacovone. Congrats on a good season and well done on beating the Bubble Blowers . Keep faith with Cop. I have a good feeling about the look of him . Anyway, with Lucic alongside him I doubt it will be an issue. Quite a stable looking best eleven by the looks of it. With regards to your overall update, I like the fact you talk about the other teams in your domestic league but if anything I owuld have liked to see league table from UEFA Cup. I like your updates, (they're similar to mine) . Well done on getting hammered . Annihalator. I knew it was you really . Commiserations on not qualifying for the froup stages. rlipscombe. Decent finish . Hang on. You've got an Olly Kenney and someone else had Ben Kenney . You do know they're members of the testing team . Gundo. Brilliant finish to the season . More than happy to mentor Myhre . DO you intend sticking with 442? NepentheZ. Oh no, what a nightmare. On the plus side, welcome to Mosside . That was a quick visit. Cool .

Flashman\'s School Days Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 FC Bex Update: 08/09 Winter Break The League Going steady so far in the league due to loads of other teams being just as poor as us League Table , however, if my form dips badly at any point i could find myself in a right mess again. After the first 5 games i was still to find a point from somewhere, that was found at home to Servette. Followed by a record of 7-3-7 up until the break, i can be nothing but very happy. My strikers have hit some sort of form, Mladen Vidovic and Achille Njanke , both from non-league clubs aswell Swiss Cup After a first round thumping win against non-league vs. Puplinge my hopes of progressing through the second round were dashed in extra time against Servette Now i just have to concentrate on getting enough points to stay ahead of the pack at the bottom of the table Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotg Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 NK Tolmin point of interest We were predicted to finish tenth again this season, so out of interest I took a look at the reputations of teams in Slovenia, as I know this generates the prediction mostly. Slovenian second division sides have reputations ranging from about 2800 down to 1650. Slovenian third tier sides go from about 1500 down to 750. Tolmin start with 850. Which makes me a real man in this challenge iirc. And probably makes it extremely rare for them to come up. How does this compare to other countries in the challenge?

mr susan Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Another Swiss winter break update here. After my early pessimism the team have gone all out to prove me wrong, and after a fantastic start to the season (even achieving 2 draws with relegated SL team Sion) we're in a very good 3rd place and might even snatch that promotion playoff place by the end of the season if all goes well. We'll most likely lose, but it's good for finances and reputation if we can just make it ahead of Delémont who crashed out last season after winning the home leg.

It's 2 straight down and thankfully I am just awful not God-awful. There are 6 awful teams (gap of 11 to 12th) and we are the best of those. As the 2nd bottom only has 8 points after 22 games, I feel relatively safe as I have double that. Much better start after the break as my first game produced this. Our record victory and both Cortesi (2 assists as well) and Gavranovic are new signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boskovic Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Update - SalPa - 2011 - MidSeason A fantastic season so far, nothing short of spectacular. We currently sit proudly at the top of the First Division. We only drew our opening game 1-1, however what was to follow was an unbelievable 4-0 win away to favourites KooTeePee. We never looked back with our only dropped points after that coming after being reduced to 10 men. ----------------------------------- League Table ----------------------------------- <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> -------------------------------------------------------------- | Pos Team P W D L F A GD Pts | -------------------------------------------------------------- | 1 - SalPa -------- 13 - 11 -- 1 -- 1 - 40 - 7 -- 33 - 34 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | 2 - Atlantis FC -- 13 - 9 -- 2 -- 2 - 34 - 11 -- 23 - 29 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | 3 - KooTeePee ---- 13 - 8 -- 3 -- 2 - 27 - 22 -- 5 - 27 | | 4 - JJK ---------- 13 - 8 -- 2 -- 3 - 23 - 17 -- 6 - 26 | -------------------------------------------------------------- </pre> It appears Werner Kaitila has decided to prove a point to me after my comments that he wasnt prolific enough by smashing goals in left right and center so far this season. His most goals in one game record of 4 was however taken from him when Patrik Lomski hit 5 in one match. ----------------------------------- The David Ramadingaye Story ----------------------------------- In 2008 David was playing for HJK and turned down a loan move to SalPa in order to join up on loan with non league Gnistan. David was however released from his contract at HJK after the season. In December the same year he signed a £85 a week contract with SalPa. He has spent 2 and half seasons at the club getting plenty of assists and scoring the odd goal. Ever since he arrived there has been plenty of specualtion over his future. Numerous bids from various clubs. Recently the bids have been coming in from bigger and bigger names culminating in a news article that David was too big for SalPa (Link). I responded by telling them that he had a contract at the club and i expected him to honour it. However when this happened i couldnt hold the young lad back. I wasnt willing to let him go for so little tho so i upped the ammount and this happened. I kinda wish id held out for more but good on the lad. Maybe he can get some champions league football. He hasnt however accepted but it looks like the 2-0 win over KPV in which he scored and got man of the match could be his last ever game for the club. ----------------------------------- Lauri Dalla Valle Update ----------------------------------- Lauri has signed a deal with Premier Division outfit VPS. He will move at the end of his current contract with FC Hameenlinna. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saab693 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 FC Jarfalla - 2008/2009 -Swedish Second Division East Svealand - End of Season Review http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd227/saab693/LeagueTable3.jpg Wow. Let me tell the tale . . . . With 6 to play we sat third, 6 points behind newly promoted Syrianska, the surprise package of the division. We'd fallen from grace big time - at the mid way point we'd sat top of the league but a bad run of form including 5 games witout a win saw us hanging on to a slight chance of promotion. Anyway, a 2-1 win against Syrianska away meant we went into the final game of the season 3 points behind them. We played 4th place Akropolis at home; they had league leaders, the invincible Hammarby, also at home. I did my bit - a 4-0 spanking of Akropolis. I nervously clicked continue to take me through to the league table and ..... yes! We'd been promoted on goal difference! Hammarby has won 2-0 at Syrianska and promotion was mine! I'm still buzzing . . . So what did it for us this year? Quite simply, this man http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd227/saab693/Amoah.jpg He refused to join us on loan last year, but our decent run in the league won him over and his goals were key to us going up. One of the real surprise packages was this guy http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd227/saab693/Pacha-1.jpg I did point him out last time round, but he really came into his own this year. When everyone around him had seemingly forgotten how to pass the ball, he kept on putting out consistent performances and creating 11 goals for the club is great. I think it was key we went up this year and this is why http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd227/saab693/Finances-2.jpg Things have steadily been getting worse, despite being under my wage budget and not spending a penny on players! I've also got the team's bonus pay outs to make which isn't gonna help at all! I'm hoping that the promotion will keep the board off my back for another season at least As regards the future. I don't know what to think about life in the First Division. In the cup, we did beat a D1 team comfortably so the squad I have may be capable of survival. I'm concerned that my scouts are still struggling to find players of quality that will come to me and given my financial situation I don't really have any scope for buying anyone! I think I will probably try and stay up with the team I currently have, just strengthening the squad a bit where I can. Anyway, that's put a bit of a downer on what's been a great season! I'm so chuffed to have my first promotion in the challenge, I really thought it would have taken another year. I shall report back next season with how FC Jarfalla coped with life in the Swedish First Division! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Knockbreda Update Its looking grim. Due to my mass injury crisis this season, i've not been performing great. The board expected Euro Qualification, (1st - 3rd place), and im currently languishing in 9th, way off the pace with 3 games left. Less than 3 months to run on my contract, and i asked for a new one, but they said they are not willing to renew my contract at the current time.! The long term goals have been achieved, and the board confidence bar is over halfway, so i MAY get a new contract come the end of the season, but im not looking upon it with much hope. May attempt a new nation after N. Ireland, so reccomendations are welcome, just incase i do the the old heave ho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I got lucky.! Well, I say lucky, but i think i deserve it, for the past 3 seasons work! Champs League for knockbreda in 3 seasons is amazing, and the board obviously agree. I've been given a 2 year contract extension, with the aim to "finish just behind the top teams" within the 2 years. I guess thats 6th or better in my division. Hopefully with some signing and less injuries next season i'll win the league again. Until then, i've got an EOS update to do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season started great, finding myself in the Champs League, the All Ireland Cup, and with a very strong squad I hoped to build on last season's success, and I started well. 7 Wins and 1 Draw from my first 8 league games, and going strong. Out of the Champs League and The first carppy cup at this stage, but happy to even be included in the CL. Then horror struck. Within the space of 10 days i lost 4 Forwards to very very long term injuries, (none shorter than 4 month's). This practically ruined the season for me, along with other minor 3-4 week injuries cropping up every week, and a lot of red cards this season, I found it difficult to carry on creating the chances that won me so many matches in the past. I did get my star striker of last season back, (Niel McFarland), but within 4 minutes of his return, he got injured again for 4 weeks.!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes. All this injury troubles caused me to look to the transfer market, where I signed a very good striker, who could have easily saved my season, and is high and above the best forward at the squad, yet on the day of his transfer, he too got injured for 4 weeks.!!!!!!!!! You couldn't make this up.! Anyway, I struggled through the season, Going from 7 Wins in 8 league games, to just 4 more wins from the remaining 22 league games . Luckily a few good cup runs kept the season from being a complete disaster, but both ended a bit too premature in the Semi-Final stages.

CoachFlu Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Meldert, Belgium - May 21st 2022 Mid-season table. End of season. A record-breaking season! As a team, we broke four First Division records this season: most points, most goals, biggest win, and matches won in a row (11). We started with a 1-1-1 after the winter break, so I was slightly concerned that we'd have another spectacular drop in form in the second half of the season, but we quickly bounced back and pretty much cruised to the title. Belgian Cup: A fairly smooth path towards the final, where we met Cercle Brugge, who had clearly established themselves as the second strongest team in Belgium this season. We hadn't lost to them in our two encounters in the league, which was a reason for confidence. On the other hand, our record in cup finals was poor - zero in three. A solid 2-0 lead at half time made me confident that we'd finally bring the trophy home. But they came out of the dressing room a different team, leveled 2-2, and after a tight extra time, we missed all our penalties. So after four times runners-up (in five years), the Belgian Cup remains Meldert's greatest frustration. Despite that, this is the closest that we've ever came to domestic domination. I'm not convinced, however, that this is the start of a new era, where we'll easily win the title every year. Quality-wise, we're not *that* much stronger than the other teams in the league, certainly not the top five or so. We just had a team that, for the first time in a long time, performed efficiently. Very few matches where we didn't get what we deserved. Two forwards at their peak, who scored regularly. Our defense wasn't as effective as it could, or maybe should, have been - maintaining the 1 goal against per match average - but the 105 league goals obliterated the existing First Division record, which was 76 if I remember correctly. We passed the magic 100 limit in the last match of the season, a record 8-0 away win against Roeselare. The squad I'm a bit reluctant to call this the best Meldert squad ever, but it was certainly the most efficient. Ideally, a slightly better goalkeeper would have been nice, but that would be nitpicking. Vandenbossche, signed last season as a "quality back-up," became unexpected first choice after I decided to sell the talented but unhappy Dutch kid. He did quite well, but did allow some goals that I feel he should have been able to save, and at 33, he's not gonna improve. Some of the goals can be blamed on the defense as well, but in their case I do feel they have the ability to get better, bot individually as together. Two of the back four: (both new signings) Dumitru Serban - signed on a Bosman from KVSK Lommel, he was a bit of a gamble, but he turned out quite alright. His one goal of the season was voted second best goal of the season (a 30 yard cannonball). Ivica Madjari - signed on a Bosman from Genk. An absolute quality player, I was hoping he'd be my star at the back for three or four more seasons, but after rejecting a few bids for him, he's already unhappy, so I may have to let him go in 12 months or so. But it was the offensive players who were the true stars of this squad. Maarten Jansen - I wasn't in need of a left winger, but when this lad was released by PSV, I couldn't resist snapping him up, and didn't regret it. Rodrigo - This Spanish striker's third season at the club was his most productive, and he'll be missed next season, but he wanted to leave, and will turn 29 next week, so the 2.1mil Getafe is paying for him is a good deal. His spectacular season, however, was outdone by Meldert superstar Alex Lambrechts. Alex's profile has been posted a few times, but after a season like this, I just can't overlook him in the season report. He broke the club's most goals, most league goals, most assists and highest AvgR records, and will undoubtedly be fan's player of the year again (for the 8th consecutive time, I think.) At 28, he has a few more seasons in him, but I'm already wondering what'll happen to the club once he's gone. I don't plan on doing much shopping this summer, though as always I'll keep an eye out for talented freebies, and perhaps look a bit more pro-actively for a goalkeeper. But in general, I want to keep the team as much the same as possible and hope they can keep performing like they did this season. Finances. Still under control, though only because of the sale of a few quality players. After an early exit last season, and no European football at all this season, another Champions League group stage appearance next season would be welcome.

Fire Bracelet Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 3 Season Update I'm not posting screens as I don't feel up to it, but I do have them. Fire_Bracelet - Sirocco Works - 2013/2014 Season This season started with an Intertoto matchup that saw us losing to WIT Georgia Tblisi in the first round, we lost pretty heavily. Finished midtable in the league with a semi-final loss in the League Cup and a finals appearance in the Country Antrim Shield. Fire_Bracelet - Sirocco Works - 2014/2015 We finished second in the league, a major breakthrough that would see us on to the UEFA Cup 1st Qual round the next year. We won our first silverware with a triumph in the County Antrim Shield. Disappointment in all the other cups however. Fire_Bracelet - Sirocco Works 2015/2016 Our first true European experience drew us against Albanian side Partizani, we drew amazingly at home 0-0 but lost 3-2 away on agg. Finished second in the league again! Thanks to 4 or 5 straight wins, most of them being shutouts, including a win at home against Linfield to jump us over them in the last game. Qtr Final losses in all cups, all coming in penalties. I'm not expecting losses in any cup game that comes to penalties, it seems to be a major theme of my game. This was a huge season for our team as we had a total profit of just under 500k bringing our balance up to 275k. A true lifesaver. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlipscombe Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Caerleon AFC - Welsh Premier League - Season 2010-11 Promising Players Inspired by Iacovone and Boskovic amongst others, i have decided to add a new feature to my end of season reports - Promising Player watch!! i have picked out half a dozen young players who i think will form a huge part of the clubs future, and will provide yearly updates on their progress with the club. So, may i introduce to you my chosen 'wonderkinds' ( ) Anthony Graham - GK. Anthony is probably my best prospect in terms of a young goalkeeper. as previously mentioned, GK is probably my weakest position in the team, so he could well get a run sooner or later. Season's expectation:- May get a run in the team if either Andy Little's form isn't spectacular, or if i feel brave enough to give him a run. Jonathan Measom - CB/DM. I have a few young defenders who have the potential to achieve big things at the club, but i have chosen Jonathan as i remember giving him some run outs as a 15-year old in pre-season of my first season in a CM position, and him scoring a few goals. Unfortunately, because of his age, he was ineligible to play for most of that season, and hasn't really featured since. I do though, as a result, have a soft spot for him. Season's Expectations:- Has a good chance of breaking into the first-team this season. will probably feature as a CB. Simon Lake - DM. Simon was my first 'international' player in my first season at the club. a very promising player as far as i am concerned, he is already a first team regular. Season's Expectations:- To establish himself as a key member of the first team. Maybe score a few more goals as well. Craig Stevens - ML/C. My most promising player. My coasches rate him as a quality player already, although hasn't featured too much to date. a Wales U-19 player at the age of 16. Season's Expectations:- To establish himself in the first-team squad. Played on a number of occasions last season, but didn't shine, and drifted out of the scene towards the end of the season. i expect more this time round. Michael Mitchell - MF. Michael is one of a scattering of Islanders at the club. Has yet to appear in a competitive game for the club, but a prospect for the future. Season's Expectations:- To develop as a player in the youth team, and push for inclusion in the first-team squad. May send out on loan. Adam Murray - ST. Along with Lance Thomas, Adam is set to be the future of the Caerleon front-line. Another Islander, Adam spent most of last season with the reserves. When injuries kicked in towards end of the season, Adam was given a chance and took it, scoring a number of important goals. One to Watch. Season's Expectaions:- To form a partnership with Lance Thomas, and establish himself as a first-team member. Barring injuries, i expect him to score 15 goals. So that's the list of players i'm placing my faith in for the future of the club. i'll keep you updated of their progress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rlipscombe Looks like you've got some very promising youngsters. Who is your most exciting prospect in your opinion? i'm torn really. from a personal point of view i'd say Measom, but i do think that it'll be between Murray and Stevens. Based on my coaches, it'd have to be Stevens. i think Murray will be a star mind. to cut a long story short, i think Stevens will become our best player, and Murray will score goals for fun (hopefully!!)

cookie15 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Rlipscombe, i tend to agree with you. It'll be interesting to see who makes the most progress. Would you say that your coaches are up to fulfilling these guys potential? I know from my experiences that i have one really good coach and that my GK coach is making huge progress with my keepers. But the quality that you can bring in is pretty limited! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for coaches, they're ok, but i can't say i've really 'tested' them so far. Have just got rid of one and brought in two (including Andy Marriott, ex-Welsh GK), meaning i have 3 coaches now. (should only have 1 mind... ) Will see how they do this season.

So happy i got the new contract.! I've made a mass of changes to my squad for the new season, getting rid of a lot of dead wood, and signed 6 unattached 16 year olds, who look very promising.

Yeah meant Manager of the Month award, threw me off that i saved the pic as mom.jpg Seriously think i need to strenghen my squad. I have a very young starting line up and maybe an experienced central attacking midfielder would fit in well. Ive noticed Tomi Petrescu of ex Leicester City fame knocking about in the Premier Division and complaining about a lack of first team football. Think ill see if i can lure him to SalPa. Lauri Dalla Valle would have been great bt he has already cut a deal with VPS. Another couple of players im interested in are Veile-Vikko Savolainen and Jussi-Pekka Savolainen. Veile-Vikko is now playing with KooTeePee who are in the promotion play offs and ive noticed Jussi-Pekkas name in the media having problems at his current club so well see what happens.

johnnyquest409 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Right then, I've got my start-of-term exams out the way so I should be able to get some good FM time in over the next couple weeks, unless the social life takes over like it did for most of last term. I know, I should show more commitment to FM Anyway, going to get in an hour or two now, we're 6 games into the season and have had our best start to the league, but I still think our squad lacks sufficient depth to challenge CSKA and Spartak.

Best Eleven One new name: Diego Antonio Rodrigo, going straight into the Eleven to take up the semi-vacant (occupied by an AMR/FC right winger) second striker spot. Diego will leave the club in a few days, but it's good to have a real striker in that spot, at least. Alexander Fischer also moved from the bench to the Eleven. The Overall Best Eleven is filling out nicely, and we're pretty much at the point where players need at least three and a half good seasons to break in - more for some positions. In other news: a nice award for Meldert super-star Alex Lambrechts, as he picks up the European Golden Boot. As the report says, quite an achievement for a lad who plays in Belgium.
