Lower Leagues Rule Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Ok then in that case rancer IF I complete this challenge I promise to partake in yours afterwards. Only if you're there too though I will do the same, must say it is one that does interest me. Is there promotion in India? If not I might hunt for another league.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Thanks Rancer, I was very happy with that friendly, and there were about 10 posts left when I started writing the report. Delighted with Marco considering he only has 5 for Composure and is only 19. I picked him up because no other strikers would come to my club, but he is doing swimmingly.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Taking the Fafe First Half Update Well a back and forward start to the game up to the 24th minute when Fafe went to a defensive style, this opened up the park for Alcobaca, and in the 33rd minute we saw Claudino holding up play before feeding Tengarrinha, he played it forward to Pinto, Pinto to Graca, Graca moves up the park unchallenged and feeds it to Mourato (captain) on the left, he heads up the wing before sending it up to Zito, Zito sends it into Pinto, he is dispossesed, but the ball falls to Graca, who finds Marco in the area, Pinto pounces on the rebound and fires it towards the top corner, the ball bounces off Costa and falls to Marco who fires it low, but it is blocked again and goes out for a corner. After 4 corners in a row, finally the ball drifts in to Marco who sinks a beautiful header to gain the lead. 1-0 Following the goal our domination of the game continued and Russo & Fernandes exchanged passes on the right hand side, before Russo feeds it into Graca who powers the ball into the goal from 25 yards out after 43 minutes we had doubled the lead. 2-0 The remainder of the 1st half was about controlling the game and preventing a comeback. so we went in with the lead and I sent the boys out with some pleased words and a bit of encouragement to try and get more out of them.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Des that description of the first goal is brilliant. It reads like a piece of horse racing commentary! Why thank you. I actually see myself as a sports commentator. I regularly commentate on my games outloud haha, and when watching sport on Tv I always make comments before the commentators do. I am getting pretty good at it As for the rest of the game, it continued the same as the first half, with Marco grabbing a second off a Russo cross, moving it to 3-0 and then they managed to sneak a goal back from a corner, 3-1, but the game was truly written off for Fafe when Graca managed to double his tally as well to move it to the final score of 4-1. Goalscorers: Marco (33,59), Graca (43,79) Attendance: 122 An excellent victory over AD Fafe, and my forwards are starring exactly as I want them too. marco's goal count is now 10 in 8 at the end of my PreSeason.

GazTheDoood Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Castel San Pietro - Serie C1A - 2010/11 Media Prediction: 18th Final Position: 1st League Table I can't really congratulate my team enough on this further success, I was fairly worried at the beginning of the season, as I had no transfers arranged to come in, but again, after players contracts expired, they were interested in joining, and the squad began to look stronger. I think a reputation boost helped the coaching situation, as we now have a full backroom of staff, inlcuding nine coaches and a half decent assistant. Again, it was a strong start that helped us gain momentum, after losing to Ancona 2-1 on the first day, we remained unbeaten until facing Cittadella on matchday 17. After that defeat, we remained unbeaten until the end of the season, although it did still take us until the last round, needing to win, to clinch the title. Tbh, this season was alot easier than expected, the step up didn't seem too great, and alot of last season's team were on equally good form. Having said that, I think the new signings had an equally large role to play in making the step-up seem easier. Best Player - Giovanni Scappaticci - new signing, brought in to take over from the aging Furlanetto, and did a fantastic job on the wing. Recieved goal of the season, for a fantastic dribble inside before unleashing a swooping shot into the opposite top corner. Top Goalscorer - Francesco Macchi - the youth prospect I mentioned earlier, just thrown into the first team straight away, and boy did he respond Honourable Mention - Michel Cruciani - was inspirational in every move we made, just like last season, made the step up with ease, lets hope for more of the same next season. We further proved our domination of Serie C by following up our title success with victories in the Serie C Cup Final, and the Serie C1 Super Cup. All in all, a fairly fantastic season My other aim, sorting out the clubs finances, went quite well too, to a point. We were up 120k come the end of the season, after prize money, etc.. Then the board kind of wrecked it with this. A completely unnecessary addition of seats in my opinion, putting us back to -100k, not impressed Aims for next season: Don't embaress ourselves after two successive promotions. Try, again, to put the club back into the black. Have a cup run, if thats not pushing it too much. Try very very hard to survive, as relegation might cripple us financially.
