I have decided to return to my homeland, for the first time, in Northern Ireland. I asked Frank and he directed me to Lurgan Celtic, which was good as i intend to break the Protestant teams domination in Northern Ireland leagues.

2006/07

Started with the expected news that i had no funds for transfers and would have to relay on my youth team for new players. i decided to bring up a number of my youngsters to bulk up my numbers including a promising 16yo N.Ireland striker

With Numerous cups i tested this season with alot of my youngsters to see what my depth currently was.

NI 2nd Div: 5th Pl 22 W8 D7 L7 PTS31
NI Cup: 3rd Round(Chimney Corner)
NI Intermediate Cup: 3rd Round(Wakehurst)
NI Intermediate Lg Cup: Group Stage (4th)

Not to bad of a season as i was only 5 points behind the leaders and have great hopes for next season.

2007/2008

The hopes i had didnt become reality as i was unable to improve on my position and even done worse and with no player in and none out it was seeming like this 2nd Division would be a struggle for a long time yet.

NI 2nd Div: 8th Pl 22 W8 D6 L8 PTS30
NI Cup: 6th Round(Distillery)
NI Intermediate Cup: 1st Round(Armagh Res.)
NI Intermediate Lg Cup: Semi-Final (Banbridge)

Top Goalscorer: Young N.Ireand Striker(14)

2008/2009

I can't believe this season i no we were not bas enough to be joint 2nd bottom and only survive on points difference. Again no transfers as i cant afford any and no-one will meet my valutions of my players.

NI 2nd Div: 10th Pl 22 W6 D5 L11 PTS23
NI Cup: 4th Round(Ballymoney Utd)
NI Intermediate Cup: 1st Round(Saintfield Utd)
NI Intermediate Lg Cup: Group Stage (5th)

Although this season was a bust the new season is already looking hopeful as towards the end of this season my young players who i promoted looked good in ensuring the teams survival

We call them updates, not stories.

Also, cutting out the text speak is a good start.

1. It's not a story, it's an excellent update :thup:. Stories are long and boring, updates are short(ish) and to the point.

2. Cups suck ass, (aspecially in N'orn Iron).

3. KUTGgoingbackwardsintheleague :thup:.

4. KUTGW!!!

Beamishimposter. That's a bit harsh .

By the look of the rest of his post it was a simple typo/speeling error .

But then again, looking at some of his posts in certain other forums.

Something about the first paragraph put me off reading the rest.

so i said i want to break a Protestant chokehold which is obviously there considering the biggest catholic team plays in the republic of ireland(i mean the biggest catholic team from the north)!!!

Capitalise your posts will you so our non English native speaking llamas find it easier to read.

The two biggest teams in Nor'n Iron are of opposite denominations and always have been so, it's fairly obvious when you think about it.
Ergo there is no domination to break other than that which naturally occurs when two thirds of the population are of one denomination.

I may be in the minority but I find the religious connotation distasteful and I assure you I am somewhat expert on this particular subject.

You obviously have no idea why the team you refer to play in the republic and incidentally they are not the biggest Catholic supported team in Ulster.
Some detailed research would be in order.
