Yellow Fever League - Second Edition

OK so I think I'll give in and try and get a meaningful thread for the second YF league going here. Might be a bit messy since I can't post an HTML table or mono-spaced text to line things up neatly (or at least, I can't find a way to do so). I'll save the tables etc to images and upload them and post them here, hopefully that'll work.

I'll reserve the next few posts to backfill with previous round summaries etc as I get this sorted. 

Banter, mockery, accusations of bought referees and offers of discount KFC relating to the second Yellow Fever League in here please ladies, gentlemen, and Hecant Ski. (Oh, and the occasional piece of serious discussion if you must.)

 

cool looking table! 

Looks awesome. It was a shame RCNS scored in the 91st minute to snatch a draw, could have found ourselves on top of Div 2 if we had picked up 3 points.

Managed a 2-2 draw against Battle Hill...New table looks awesome.

Yeah, it doesn't look too shabby. Lack of formatting on this forum is a pain in the arse though (e.g., bold/underline is the only heading you can do, no size changes or centering that I can get to work). As long as the replacement is better...

Stoked with the change in form this edition. Not safe from relegation yet but a hell of a lot better than last time out.

bwtcf will be pleased to get the trains out of the div 2 relegation zone with their first win....

like the new tables, although not happy with where I've dropped to. Two losses really have hurt.

Sweet, a win tonight will lift me off the bottom of the table. I have a few injury/suspension concerns but nothing compared to what I have had this season. Feeling confident! First game in my stadium since it's had a second tier added too.

Need to win in division 3 tonight against peow to either stay in touch with (or move into) the top 2. 

Big game for the likes of peow and sanchez afc (who is that again?) to keep their slim hopes of promotion alive. 

Barryz, as said above, just looking to avoid the wooden spoon! :p

Peow with a dramatic 92nd minute winner. 

 

 

My game was a nailbiter but I scraped it 5-4 in the end. Off the bottom of the table at last

Selwyn hawks coukd provide the upset of the round for just their 2nd point of the season! 

Ive started signup for the 3rd fever league by the way. 

Swamp Monkeys have equalised. They're out of the relegation zone, Trains back into it. Gonna be a tight finish in div 2 I think.

Pram and north shore battling it out for top of the league too.

North Shore took the lead in the 54th minute to leap to the top of division 2.

Dammit! The Swamp Monkeys have equalised.... That changes everything.

Three yellow cards for the Swamp Monkeys... same old Tawa, always cheating!

I just equalised 4 minutes after going behind to WTF. Hoping to now push on for the win so can compete for the league win next week.

Swamp monkeys have the lead, and are into the promotion spots. Trains dead last...

NO! another late goal conceded. 2-1 down in the 89th minute now. Dreams of winning division 3 seemingly extinguished. 

BOOM! 0-1 win over Wellington United secures 3rd place for Earthquake City!

Good effort. Thats kind of like a mini league win really!

Promotion/relegation

The top two teams in divisions two and three will be promoted for the next edition of the league, replacing the bottom two teams of the premiership and division two respectively.

Table

1. Within each division, the following will be used, in this order, to rank the teams:
   • Points
   • Goal difference
   • Goals for
2. During the league, if two teams are still level after this ranking their position will be random.
3. At the end of the league, if two teams are still level they will be ranked by head-to-head results (first by points gained, then by aggregate score, then by away goals).
4. If they are still level, a coin toss will be used to separate them.

Fair play rankings

1. Rankings will be across the whole league, not per division.
2. Points will be awarded for the following infringements:
   • Yellow card: 1 point
   • Straight red card: 3 points
   • Two yellows => red: 3 points
   • Yellow plus straight red: 4 points

YES! Came back from 1-0 down to post a historic win over Tawa FC's main rivals, Lokomotiv. Puts us within touching distance of promotion, and almost ensure relegation for Khandallah. It's a good night in Tawa.

Will get around to adding the fair play table to the thread shortly. But just so you know, after 9 rounds, Tawa FC is 7th equal on 15 points, while the dirty trains are 15th equal on 20 points. Only Sanchez (22) and tegal (24) are worse than you.

Have added competitors (using nicknames from the old forum - if anyone has changed their username during the upgrade let me know) and rules to the start of the thread. I've just about got the formatting etc sorted (well, as best as is possible), so it must be about time for the new forum to start up...
