March 2002 report

Saturday 2nd March

Albion Rovers 3 - 0 Queen's Park

After this match, I knew it was gonna be one of those months where we play very badly. Smith, Diack and Tait all got goals for Albion, I've gave up hope. I have to ask one question, Am I allowed to move clubs yet?

Saturday 9th March

E.Stirling 2 - 0 Queens Park

The leaders showed us why we are where we are right now, beating us 2-0, McKechnie and Curran with the goals.

Saturday 16th March

Queen's Park 2 - 2 East Fife

Its an Improvment on the last few matches, Morton putting us behind 1-0, before Christie scored on the 45th and 50th minute. I missed the Lofting goal due to getting meself a cup of coffee, to keep me awake during the boring parts, and when i came back, they had just blew the whistle for full-time. 2-2 the final score, stupid cue at the Coffee Vender.....

Saturday 23rd March

Stirling 2 - 0 Queen's Park

Ok, thats it, I'm taking a vacation, stupid Geraghty and Bailey, they shouldn't of got those goals for Stirling. So I'm away to Madrid, see you later.

Saturday 30th March

Queen's Park 2 - 0 Montrose

While Madrid was cool, with the warm weather, good football team, one problem, I couldn't talk to any of the girls, my (fictional) wife would go crazy! Anyway, I came back, jetlagged, and we won! Orr and Canning with the goals. Maybe I should go on Holiday more often. Or maybe it was Smith's new role as Captain that helped.

End of Month Stats:
League Postion: 8th (34 points)
Top Scorer: Christie (10 goals)
Top Assists: Butler (9 assists)
Highest Av.Rating: Smith (7.34)

April/May 2002 Report

Sunday 7th April

Queen's Park 3 - 3 Elgin

Interesting Match, Hartley playing one of his last matches for Queen's Park scorinf twice. Burchell putting Elgin in the lead, before Huntleys double, then Christie made it 3-1 after 64 minutes. Burchell spoilt the party, scoring on the 66th and 78th minutes to make it 3-3.

Saturday 20th April

Queen's Park 2 - 1 Dumbarton

Dumbarton, who's fate at the bottom of the table was decided a few weeks ago, went ahead, Flannery getting a goal after 9 minutes. Carbury became the hero, getting 2 goals, 70th and 76th minute, and also getting the win.

Saturday 27th April

Brechin 1 - 2 Queen's Park

Nothing happened in the first half, but in the second half, B.Mitchell got sent off for Brechin, before Carbury got a goal on the same minute. Christie made it 2-0 but Black scored on the 64th minute, but it was too little too late, as Queen's Park win on the second last game of the season.

Saturday 4th May

Queen's Park 0 - 1 Albion Rovers

Main, who recently broke through the youth-team and broke straight into the first-team, after a bad debut, great in he last 2 games, he got sent off. Martin scored just before half-time, so Queen's Park ended the season 9th. Not good.

End of season stats:
League Postion: 9th (41 points)
Top Scorer: Christie (12 goals)
Top Assists: Butler (11 assists)
Highest Av.Rating: Smith (7.35)

End of season report: We need to improve next season, better defence and a MUCH better goalie, despite Smiths constant good performances.

Pre-Season

Watching one of the most bizarre World cup's ever (Belarus made it to QF, Paraquay was third, Colombia beat Germany in the Final.) I just remembered about some friendlies I needed to play, heres the results.

Hamilton 1 - 0 Queen's Park
Montrose 3 - 0 Queen's Park
Darlington 1 - 0 Queen's Park
Hartlepool 1 - 4 Queen's Park

the last result was the best, obviously.

Anyway, next up is Berwick in the League Cup, I have a feeling we're going out.

Queen's Park Squad, 02/03

The squad needed Improving, so I tried to Improve it, here's the Squad.

Goalkeepers

Darren Bonfield, 26, English

Bosman from Farnborough (I was desperate), in his first match, letting in 4 against Clydebank, not good enough

Robert Crown, 31, N.Irish

Proving that N.Irish footballers maybe rubbish, but they do try, only letting in 2 on his debut, only 2, thats amazing!

Mark McLean, 30, Scottish

This was the dude I was geting excited about, he turned out to be less exciting then watching paint dry, and believe me, the only reson why I didn't post too much yesterday was to see what was more exicting. I liked the part when the paint dried, man that was so cool....

Allan Smith, 21, Scottish

This guy was able to let in 64 goals last season, but out of the four I have right now, he seem's the best, yes, don't think I'm just saying that, the best, at Q.Park, yet he still has alot to prove, like if he can get at least 5 clean sheets, the challenge, is on!

Up Next: August report and the Defence report

August 2002 Report

During the summer, I phoned everyone that was in my team last season, and told them how they played, most of them were offended I said they played like Mince Pie's, while the people I said played like Schoolgirls, thought it was a complement.....

Right, here's what happened during August, the first Month of the Football Calender.

Saturday 3rd August

League Cup 1st Round

Berwick 3 - 2 Queen's Park

Close game, shame we never got the 3rd goal, insted of them. Burns got two goals for Berwick, on the 2nd and 14th minute, and it stayed liek that untill the 67th minute, where Canning got one back. Richie made it 3-1, and, when we though it was all over, Orr got one back. Never got another one, and we went out, in the first round.

Saturday 10th August

Elgin 2 - 2 Queen's Park

We went in there thinking "Pepperoni or Chesse and Tomato?" and some people were thinking "we're gonna win it!" and I was thinking "Win = Pepperoni, Draw = Chesse and Tomato, Lose = best pizza ever (since I was expecting to lose!)"

Anyway, Carbury made it one-nil, I could smell the Pepperoni already, untill Shanks made it 1-1. Then Shanks made it 2-1, before Patterson gave us a point, and the Cheese and Tomato pizza.

Tuesday 13th August

Challenge Cup 1st Round

Queen's Park 2 - 4 Clydebank

McKay, Clydebank, 1-0, Canning, Us, 1-1, Carbury, us, 2-1, I went YIPPIE, then I choked on a peanut and ended up missing Clydebanks 3 goals, Mooney (2) and Burke, got the goals, according to Butler, my Assistant Manager, as you all know. Oh, this meant we're out, Duh.

Saturday 17th August

Queen's Park 0 - 1 Stranraer

Stranraer, who got relegated from Divison 2 last season, seemed to struggle, despite going in the lead after 11 minutes, Farrell got the goal. We held out for ages, but never got another goal.

Saturday 24th August

Stirling 3 - 2 Queen's Park

We did well, Higgins made it 1-0 after 17 minutes, before our own Halldorsson equalised on the 23rd minute, before Solberg gave us the lead, then Higgins made it 2-2 before Williams put Stirling in the lead.

Saturday 31st August

Queen's Park 3 - 1 Dumbarton

Dumbarton were, for once, challenging for a top two place, already winning half of the games they won last season (2 wins last season), and they looked set to be top, after Brown put them in the lead. I waited for a goal, but had to wait till the 77th minute, where Christie got one back. Solberg and Ex-Man City dude, Leon Mike, got goals to give us our first win of the season, yippie!

End of Month stats:
League Postion: 8th (4 points)
Top Scorer: Canning, Carbury, Solberg (2)
Most Assists: Halldorsson, Main (2)
Highest Av.Rating: F.Christie (7.33)

Defence Report

The defence was one of the weakest parts of the squad, here's the people who made it weak, and others who have just joined.

Jamie Dodds, 16, Scottish

Maybe too early to say if he has a future, but he's one of those players who either play very well, or really bad, like a Schoolgirl.

Danny Ferry, 25, Scottish

Captain, but ain't too good, but he's a first team player, and it might stay that way for a long time.

Thomas Solberg, 32, Norwegian

Free from Aberdeen, he seems to score when you need him to, and plays well only when he's in the league, our best defender, I think.

Paul Borland, 23, Scottish

This dude is the co-holder of the "Best defender at Queen's Park", and while Solberg can attack as well, this dude likes to stay back, and protect our goalies (notice the "s"!) Future captain?

Ian Roper, 25, English

Rubbish when you want him to play good, and only really starts performing when your 3-0 down. Back-up.

Stephen Marshall, 22, Scottish

Another back-up, can't say much though.

Next Up, September report and the Midfield Report

retired_somi

I'm Kinda !@$£ off'ed right now, you'll know why once you look at these results. I'm not going in detail, cause Right now I'm beating up my bed right now, I'm losing, as usual.

Q.Park 0 - 1 Peterhead
Alloa 2 - 1 Q.Park
Q.Park 0 - 1 Albion
E.Stirling 2 - 0 Q.Park

League Postion: 10th (4 points)

I got a new tactic, I hope it works, or I might just do something that I don't think is allowed and move clubs, cause this team play like fat Schoolgirls, and some play like Mince Pies, which isn't good, btw.

October 2002 report

umm, I kinda left Queen's Park, and joined Farnborough Town, um, so that is my new UK club.

I've only played one game so far at Farnborough....

Saturday 26th October

Farnborough 2 - 2 Hayes

This match should of been mine, Baptiste and Cartwright putting us 2-0 up, before Cartwright got injured, and Stevens got 2 goals so we had to settle for a draw.

After this match, I set out for a new goalkeeper, as our current one, Patterson, wasn't good enough, despuite getting a call-up from Australlia. I got Romain Larrieu from D3 side Plymouth, he better perform or someone's not gonna be happy...

November 2002 Report

Farnborough look too good for the postion they were when i took over (11th) and they seem to be better then Queen's Park (thank god!) so lets see how my first full month in England went, hmm?

Saturday 9th November

Nuneaton Borough 1 - 2 Farnborough

My first win as Farnborough, and I had a feeling it wouldn't be my last, went behind after Bunce scored...at the wrong side, he is currently being treated for Ammesia. Stoneman equalised to make it 1-1, and De Souza made it 2-1, whoo-hoo! 3236 people showed up, shame it was away, we could of used the extra money (we are quite rich anyway!)

Saturday 16th November

FA Cup 1st Round

Farnborough 1 - 3 Cambridge

The result is not as bad as it looks, since they do have great players, and their in D2, their 20th though, but still....
Scott Parker, the ex-Charlton midfielder, got the first goal, before, The one and only, Armand One, made it 2-0, Cambridge were going through? Not just yet, Middleton getting his first goal for Farnborough since joining in the summer from Worchester. Traore, though, took all the hope we had left, and kicked it into the Back of the Net, 3-1 it ended.

Saturday 23rd November

FA Trophy 2nd Round

Stafford 2 - 4 Farnborough

Against the team who almost put out D3 team Exeter of the FA Cup (4-3 was the score), we were expecting no favours. By Half-Time, it was already 4-2. De Souza (2), Baptiste and Bunce all getting goals for us, and Jones and Ceraolo scored for Stafford, but we went through, yippie! We face Woking in the next round.

Saturday 30th November

Dag & Red 1 - 1 Farnborough

For a team chasing top-spot, Dag & Red needed all the points they could get to get pormoted to the Football League, but we gave them no favours, apart from letting Terry score for them. But our Top-Scorer Baptiste made sure we get one point, and now Dag & Red have pretty much no chance of going up, 13 points behind closest rivals York, who are 2nd, their new target will be to stay third....

League Postion: (9th, 24 points)

December 2002 report

Farnborough, seems perfect for me and so does the team, as December saw a few surprises, for the good!

Saturday 7th December

Farnborough 3 - 0 York

My bad jokes always seem to get players ready for their match, and today, I must of told a great joke. York, second, one point behind leaders Barnet, seemed to have a bad day, Thomson, on loan from D1 strugglers Cystal Palace, got a goal, after 2 minutes, before De Souza made it 2-0 just before half-time. Baptiste got another on the 69th minute which meant we had beaten the second best team in the Conference, you all know what I'm gonna say, YIPPIE!

Tuesday 10th December

Vans Trophy South 1st round

Farnborough 1 - 0 Swansea

Shock horror, we beat Swansea, Thomson getting the goal that counted on the 36th minute, can't think of anything else that happened, I did fall alsleep in the Second-Half.

Saturday 14th December

Margate 0 - 2 Farnborough

Great match, we deserved it, De Souza getting yet another goal, with Middleton also getting a goal. I think this match might start our comeback, after being Runners-Up last year (and nobody told me?!?!?!?!), my target is promotion next season.

Saturday 21st December

Farnborough 1 - 2 Barnet

Barnet have been, and remained to be unbeatable this season, so this score seemed to be ok. Venables scoring after 9 minutes, before Gledhill scored exactly 10 minutes later. Thomson seems to have suited in nicely, as the Scottish, loan-star scored his 3rd goal for Farnborough.

Thursday 26th December

Farnborough 2 - 0 Southport

Ha, ha, ha, ha....great match, Baptiste and Stoneman scoring, but it was our goalie, 25-year old Gaston Marquet, on loan from Notts. Forest, kept another Clean Sheet, and if he were transfer listed, I would definatly go for this superstar.

Saturday 28th December

Sutton utd 1 - 1 Farnborough

Not so good, but still ok, Hamsher (or Hamster as I call him) scored before Shephard got one back for Sutton utd, it stayed 1-1 and I was not happy, but not angry, only slightly dissapointed.

End of Month stats:
League Postion: (9th, 34 points)
Top Scorer: Baptiste (17 goals)
