The Points System

Int Appearance = 5

Int Goal = 10

Int MoM Award = 5

Int Yellow Card = -3

Int Red Card = -8 (2 yellows --> 1 red = -8)

Team Win = 3

Team Draw = 1

Bonus 25 points will be awarded if player finishes top scorer in the EURO / World Cup Qual Tournaments.

</pre>

2 more debuts this month, Pendros and Mike Bird. icon14.gif

So a dramatic turnaround thanks to a Paddy O'Furniture hattrick against Andorra meant that he and Finland leapt from outside the overall top ten, to winning the Eurovision Striking Contest 2008/09. Chu Haowan scored in both the Sat and Weds game, but O'Furniture scored for Finland again on the Weds, along with a vital MoM award which meant he overtook Haowan. Without that MoM award, he would have finished second.

Defending champions Estonia and Robert Boyle finished back in 9th place in the contest.

In the Eurovision Soccer League, Ryan Andrews & Faroe Islands won the first ever Eurovision Premier Division. He narrowly edged out Diego Polo.

Sebastian Skywalker became the first Eurovision player to be sent off in a game. Tom Healy & In Der Van Dude did not play for their nations this season and got relegated, surprisingly along with Magnus Donaldson, who came 2nd last season!

In the second division, Kyle Smith who had been leading for some of the season, won promotion although he dropped to 3rd. His score would have been enough to have won the Premier Division though!!

In the playoff zone for both divisions, this is how the playoff table looks:

Playoff Table - Premier / Second Division

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">

Div Player Name Country Points Destination

----------------------------------------------------------------

1 Pablo Gonzalez Switzerland 31 Prem Div

2 Ulf Chaoc Georgia 26 Prem Div

----------------------------------------------------------------

3 Sebastian Skywalker Cyprus 23 2nd Div

4 Damon Lowe Iceland 22 2nd Div

----------------------------------------------------------------

</pre>

Therefore, both second division nations / players will get promoted to the Premier Division, with Skywalker and Lowe dropping out of the top division along with the 3 automatically relegated nations. Ulf Chaoc made a late move to overtake Ben Arsenal and edge him out for 5th place in the Second Division and ultimately promotion!

My Thoughts in General

It's nice to see a lot of new players winning int caps, now out over 30 players. The remaining players are all playing for their U21 / U19 sides and all tend to be part of the major nations, which was always going to be the case.

You guys will just need a little patience, 5 or 6 seasons down the line when you guys are dominating the Eurovision Striking Contest you will have forgot all about these first couple of seasons. icon14.gif

Hopefully next season we will be able to open up the Third Division. At the end of next season, the Premier Division will be trimmed to 18 teams from its present state of 19 nations. This means that next season (and for next season only) there will be 4 automatic and 2 relegation playoffs spots. The Second Division currently has 14 nations in it, next season there will still be 14 nations, with any new debuts being made being allocated to the Third Division.

Could you maybe put a list of people with most caps and stuff. Almost like a records thread just within this thread?

I'm planning on doing screenshots of the int caps of everyone at the end of each season. Don't see why I couldn't add 'Highest Number of caps to the Roll of Honour Section, along with 'Most Int Goals'. icon14.gif

Done well this season finished 3rd in both the striking contest and second division.

Thought i could have won it after being in the lead most of the season, always next year.

Albania only won one game in qualifiers, not good thought they would of done better.

on the other hand good news wanted by somebody, and have indicated i am looking to move on to bigger clubs to fulfill their ambitions.

KUTGW!

Hi TeeWee,

Yeah back to the old sign ups. I'll add you to the reserve list if you like, can't imagine it will be ages before I could add you - I can't see all 53 people staying committed for the weeks and months ahead!

Would be good to get a few more of the Commentators Curse guys in the sign up over time. icon_smile.gif

Well, without going through the thread with a fine toothcomb, I'm pretty sure 50 of the 53 have posted, not sure about the remaining 3.

Obviously some people have posted more than others, some a lot more than others.

I will only start looking if someone hasn't posted a lot perhaps next weekend. As I've said before, the more you post, the more likely I am to mention your player!

This sign up was only put up for registration this time last week after all! icon_biggrin.gif

How old are we now? Is it 18?

Nope, we were all 18 when this started. We all turn 20 on July 1st. icon_smile.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Ok thanks; I wasn't sure whether we started at 16 or 18.

Thanks for adding me to the list. I'm glad there's room for a good ex-Turkmeni centerback and ex-Welsh unemployed bum icon_smile.gif

I'll keep half an eye on this thread. Great job so far!

A goal at last!! icon_cool.gif

Jason Demir has one international goal and Kazahkstan have scored two in qualifying meaing I've scored 50% of the competitive goals this season icon_biggrin.gif

Plus, that goal saved me from relegation from the Premier Goalscorer's League icon14.gif

Great updates WW. Another idea - how about a cumulative points table so we can see an overall leader?

Sorry I haven't posted in ages, the internet has been down and I've been a bit preoccupied. 2 decent seasons for Brendan Petersen despite not scoring many goals. Hopefully I can move away from Genoa so that I get some game time. 4 games in 2 years for them is less than what I've played for Liechtenstein and on top of that I'm getting paid next to nothing.

KUGTW WW and hopefully a transfer and a few more goals beckon for Brendan.

Yes, last gasp champion! \o/

Paddy O'Furniture would just like to than everybody who helped him achieve this honour - mostly himself, and some terrible Andorrans!

Great updates WW, this was a great idea for a signup and the quality of your updates is superb. (Not just saying that cos my player won, honest!)

Next, gotta get Finland to a major championship!
