I supose we'll be starting at 20:00 BST ... but I'n not sure... it all depends on Mooski's availability... Perhaps it'll be later.

Join msn later, I think kostis sealed the deal with our host, he might know the starting hour.

[Uknowmehfo]

It is confirmed...

Iberian LlaMas! Gather around mIRC at 20:00 BTS/GMT tomorrow.

We'll meet there :thup:

(forgot to add the day...silly me!!)

[retired_ryankesler]

What I'll do is be online from around 7:15pm BST tomorrow, as I possibly have to go out (as discussed) between 7:30 and 8:00, but I'll leave the PC on so all can log on ready. I may have to be unavailable for an hour through the course of the game, so I'll just be on holiday for that. Would that be OK with everyone?

[Uknowmehfo]

As long as someone makes it there before you set yourself on holidays...

[retired_mrsjb]

I'm unavailable at 20:00, but hoping to stop in before the end of the session (best case is at around 21:45). I'll MSN someone when I know.

[retired_babygirlgiggles]

As things are looking now I will be around when Mooski is online. Will be in irc at that time.

[retired_emanali]

I'm probably unavailable tonight since I'm getting up awfully early tomorrow :/

Odivelas

Great session tonight guys, thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyway, a brief run down of my night.

League unless stated.

17-8-03 (H) Olhanense Friendly
1-0 down at half time and my team aren't the greatest. It didn't look like a penalty, obviously, but nevertheless, it was put past my fat keeper. My penalty wasn't a penalty either. The ref must have had a couple of cheques. Good stuff. But the 2nd goal for the away side was one of those "Goalie having a lie down" moments, the third though was a belter. I was given a thoroughly deserved humping.

24-8-03 (A) Maritimo B
I feared the worst after conceding an early goal,my keeper making a tit of himself, but our strikers scored one each, to give us the lead at half time. We came under pressure during the second half but the post saved us as did some great defending on another occasion. We won our first game 2-1.

27-8-03 (A) Barreirense
Humped 4-0 and no sniff of a goal. Roll on april. :thdn:

31-8-03 (H) Comacha
The third league game and the third where I've conceded a penalty. They missed it, but that's not the point. Again, we weren't great, but our half time subs made a difference. Maybe they sould start. It finished 1-1.

14-9-03 (H) Oriental
A couple of changes before the start of the game and a kick up the arse for the ones carried over. We started brightly, no really we did and scored after 7 minutes. We never looked to be in any real trouble but conceded a late goal after 75 minutes and we couldn't get any further chances after two injuries without any subs left. Ha!

17-9-03 (A) Sinstrense
It was going well, then not so well, JCB's star striker doing the business and crapping all over my defence, but I managed to make an "inspired" substitution and scrape yet another draw. 2-2 in the end.

21-9-03 (H) Marialvas Cup 2nd Rd
A convincing win against the visitors, my right winger now scoring two in two games. The team seem to be playing ok at the moment. What's going on?


OK there you go, we reconvene on Sunday, hopefully.

:thup:

A great session tonight. Had time to re-fix training, scouting and tactics, and the banter was great fun.

Olhanense Second session:

First came a friendly against Mooski's Odivelas. We were tied 1-1, when one of my players crossed the ball from midfield and scored :o. Sorry mooks. We won 3-1.

On with the regular season then. We had a good 2-0 away win against some AI team, and then paid a visit to adax's Camacha. A deflected free-kick in the 90th minute gave me my second win. Tough luck for adam, he deserved at least a draw.

Our best match of this session was against Maritimo B. We were losing 1-0, but one of my strikers scored 4 in 8 minutes :o. Final score of 5-3, with the striker getting all five goals and missing a penalty as well.

A big clash in the next game, hosting jcb's Sintrense. We scored after 40 seconds, only to have jcb's superstriker equalise just before half time. A late second half goal by a sub gave us all 3 points. Good fight for jcb's side, but they're quite low in the table.

We then visited Moscavide or something, and got our first thrashing of the season. Team was rather tired and i used some subs which didn't work quite as i would have liked. 4-0.

Next ficture was a cup game at some central division team. I fielded a reserve team, as our next league fixture is against seamus' Louletano . Typically, we lost 1-0 from a 10 men opposition

Seamus is setting the league alight, having won all 4 of his games without conceding a single goal. He also won in his cup fixture, but leaked a goal :o

Adam, your team has won 3 and drawn 1 against Mooski. Quite highly placed in the league.

Jordi, Mafra won 2 games on the trot and then got smashed 5-0 by Pontassolense. Your assistant took his revenge in the cup game against the same opposition, beating them 3-0 :thup:

Seamus, myself and an AI team all have 12 points, but Louletano have a game in hand and look unbeatable.

[retired_mrsjb]

Wow. From those two posts you'd think Sintrense were going well. Well, we're not. We are bottom of the league with a grand total of 2 points from 5 games.

I have struggled mightily. Sintrense went their first 6 games (incl. Friendlies) without scoring. My
'superstriker" everyone mentioned is actually my only striker, but he is half decent, and was the subject of a rejected 20 million pound bid from Kfoolmoon, who is obviously trying to unsettle him as he doesn't have that much cash. Fortunately said SC went to the press to tell them how much he loves the club and wouldn't leave.He didn't help our cause by being dismissed in the opening league game, but since the suspension has scored 3 in 4(?) games. The team total scored is 4.

No signings were made before the deadline, due to a combination of a lack of scouting power and rejection of loan moves by two players. I have a significant injury crisis, including losing my AM (who I was forced to play upfront due to lack of other fit forwards) in the final game of the session, a depressing home loss in the cup in which we battered the opposition in the second half but found a keeper in good nick.

Some of my games have been chronicled already, but my only points were gained in a 0-0 draw in the opener (by my Ass Man, before I was able to join the game) and the 2-2 draw with Mooski's Odivelas.

I am likely to miss Sunday's session (although my wife has informed me I may be allowed to play: we'll see ), so I hope my Ass Man has better luck with the injuries and can give us a little upward momentum.

Other than the fact that my team sucks arse, a very enjoyable session.
