...extra time...
Cup Banter
Grrrr, finally cracked. 2 - 3 down after 100 mins
*slump* 2 - 4 after 114 mins...
I never understand how someone playing such an unbalanced formation as the Dinamo team is manage to do so well, if someone line up like a real team in this shape you'd attack down the one wing pulling players out of their natural positions and you'd smash them - I seriously beleive that the TM guys need to either negative effect a team in someway if they line up in ridiculous formations like above or offer a positive bonus if you end up playing against something like this.
as for my reserves they got smashed 4-1 in round 1.
3 - zip loss to Gore for my B team.
Nice win for AD Fafe over Peow Reserves. Needed that.
Aren't Peow Reserves worse than the Whippersnappers (Who fought valiantly but lost 2-1)

Probably are, but I needed a win, my team has gone to poo :(
my first team has drawn Tuatapere United as our first match, on paper they are beatable, only one player at 3.5* - but we all now that means nothing.
YF derby in the cup tonight: Surge Thunder FC vs Sky Valley
holding on by the skin of my teeth at the moment..... in extra time
Trains drew E.C. Hill Giant NZ in round 2 of the cup.
At half time we were outshooting and out possessing them almost 2 to 1. The score was 1 - 1. I went to bed, and woke up to find we'd lost 1 - 4. Grrrrrr.
shafted 2-1 after 109 minutes of footy - dammit! cup dreams dashed for another year.
Crimmany, the Trains are up in round 2 tonight...
Grrrrr.
1 - 0 down at half time, and Pat Lewis, first game back from a 6 game injury break is carted off on a stretcher before half time. NOT HAPPY.
got a winm in my first leg, but now up against an aotearoa team who will probably kill me....away game too!
One win in the cup - but have drawn Basecity Bombers away. Time to think about next year.
Damn - took Basecity to penalties only for my guys to miss every single one of them!!

Oh man! It's cruel sometimes...

That would've been great for the gate takings though.
Just 4 people short of the new 40,000 capacity at Homebush Road saw The Trains go through to theird round of the cup.
Despite dominating, we were lucky to get to extra time after Hunua United, rrrrrivals of yester-year, were awarded a penalty in the 93rd minute, only to see the score stay 0 - 0 as they put it wide of the post.
Extra time then saw a goal bonanza, with the final score 3 - 1 to the yellow and blacks!
Unfortunately the Steam Engines went out 3 - 1...
2-0 win over Tawa AFC to advance
In the slum? Or up in Hamilton N?
a good 1-0 win to go through to the next round
In the slum? Or up in Hamilton N?
Thankfully a home game, otherwise I fear we may have come back a man or two short
We have drawn Timaru Tigers (Aotearoa Championshp) in the third round.
cup fever has hit Otaki Domain. A very winnable game but will still be tough. currently 0-0 after 12

Trains also down 1 - 0 after half an hour
GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL, my fast (not much else) striker out runs the oposition and slots it into the corner, 1-1 40 gone

It's the Cup. Anything can happen...
Just conceded 2 goals in 2mins. Football (even simulated) can be cruel
Goal conceded straight after half time. Lost 2-1. Our run is over
My team had 23 shots and only managed 2 goals. Might need to upgrade my strikeforce
Trains lost 0 - 1. Piss on chips.
an upset and i am through to the second round woop
Trains win 4 - 1 in the Cup. Woot.
Steam engines 1 - 1 went to ET, and two injuries after three subs already used saw them down to 9 men, and conceded 3 in the last 7 minutes to lose 1 - 4 AET
ditto, actually had my fist win in the cup in 5 seasons!
