Interesting stuff. Sinstrense are likely to need our Ass Man a lot (midweek sessions during work hours in NJ are beyond my control), and on the evidence of this showing we're in trouble.
Since I had a friendly on game day 1, my ass man was in charge to speed things up, but I unfortunately forgot to revert to me for the real stuff. With the first round bye in the llama shield, I only got to play one game all session (in part due to the crash we experienced) and wasn't actually in charge. D'oh! A very dull game with Mooski's lot was settled by a penalty in the last 10 mins (with an extra goal tacked on at the death). I was then called away by family stuff and am informed my ass man did not cover himself in glory in our second friendly either. I'm looking forward to actually taking charge for a game

Mafra

Several disconnections (probably due to my new antivirus trying to protect too much my PC) meant that my unmanaged side was left at it's mercy during matches.

However, from what I gathered later from match reports and comments from opponents on chat, we didn't look as bad as expected for being one of the most probable relegation challengers.

We scored at all matches played, even if we also conceeded too much, so some measures will have to be taken regarding our defense.

Enjoyable read, good luck with it all and hope the issues with freezing etc sort themselves out.

Well, it's a lively bunch this clan. And an interesting mish-mash of locations (Greece, Sweden, UK, Netherlands?, Spain, and two of us stateside-- NJ \o/).

Louletano
This is the largest squad I've ever seen, and I don't like it. Some 30+ in the first team alone and another 20 in the U-19s. (No reserves in Portugal ). Strangely, we're well under wage budget, and have 30k in tranfers funds. Put that to use straight away signing a 34 year-old defender and a striker on a free--I lost my first choice for two months with a groin strain in the first friendly. I've released a few players and am setting out to offer others for transfer.

Not much else to report. We cruised through the LLaMa Shield and have won our first trophy as a result! \o/ While our finishing needs some work we were never that troubled and didn't conceded a goal in the three matches. Winning 2 - 0 over Giziar, 1 - 0 over the Fool, and 1 - 0 in ET over Mooski.

Sadly I'll miss the season opener on Wednesday.

Santo Antonio

Club is really looking like a challenge, looking at the odds for the forthcoming games I'm likely to loose most of them. Squad is relativly small, no U-19 available and yes I'm above my wage budget.

First game was the first round of the Llama Cup. What to say more then Cups Suck arse () Lost 2-0 against Seamus'Lauletano. That gave room for a friendly against a non-league club which we manage to loose also. Final game of the evening was the heavily needed moral booster (2-1 :eek against Jordy's Mafra.

And yup Seamus I'm a true Dutchie

And if anyone can clarify why lay-out doesnt work for me in FMO (consipracy by the mods?) then I would be very gratefull.

It's Jordi, Giziar...

And I think things will be different in the first league match (that's if I can manage to manage my team). :p

About the layout: Perhaps you have smilies and code disabled???

[Giziar]

Oops, sorry Jordi.And regarding the lay-out; dont have any problems with the other forums. Ah well.

[OMDave]

Your game looks like a lot of fun -international clans rock :cool:

What time might this be happening tomorrow?

I may have the opportunity to join for a short spell if all goes well, being that is the start of the season.
