Up 1-0, tied on points and GD and have more goals than my rival so I'm staying up if things stay the same. They're also down to 10 men in their game.
EDIT: JINX. Now 1-1 :-/
League Banter - The Matchday thread
just aquared a b team so dont have a lot of back up players in my first team which may have played a part.
now sky valley tries to injure my back up CM (DC) and he gets sent off for it. im feeling a little more posative now
half time and still 0-0
a goal without conceeding in the next 45 minutes and i am safe/into the playoffs
Pretty much assured of finishing second in 2.1. Going to give promotion a shot this year and have rested a couple of players who are yellows. Unfortunately I don't have a good record against the third placed team so I'm not expecting good things in the playoffs.
Goal! Two reserves have scored so far, up 2-1.
A 3-1 win, coupled with a Torbay triumph over New Land FC sees me finish 11th, which will move to 10th once the banned team above me is removed, so I have successfully stayed up in my first ever season in Div Two.
Great way to do it too, goals to two reserves who stepped up due to suspension, and finished off by the 19 year-old phenom Hyde with a goal off the bench.
Will sell some of the older guys, keep a few of them, and use some of my spare cash over the offseason for hopefully a just as productive season next year!
Trains won 1 - 0 over second place Waihi Beach (their first loss of the season) at home to complete a 15 game winning streak in the league to finish the season on 90 points, 17 points clear of second placed Waihi Beach.
Result.
Couldn't find a way through. Down I go. Funny that I go all out attack and it's my first 0-0 draw all season. And I think my first clean sheet.

After inactive and banned teams had their points removed, I ended up winning the league by 22 clear points!
Shaky Boys (Earthquake City's B side) finished bottom but almost escape the relegation playoffs due to the points deletion process. I assume they stay up as their opponent is abandoned?
Yup, can't go down lower than League One

LOL I never realised that League 2 was all empty shell leagues...
congrats on winning the league. Your first trophy (other than any yellow fever league wins)?

No, I won the League two seasons ago too and got promoted to the Championship. Then I Tegalled, and bounced back down.
Hoping to stay up this time.
I am thinking of renaming my club to "the Yoyos"...
Looks like The Trains, Whips and Onehunga Town in Aeotearoa Championship Group 2.
woops forgot about the new season. Did our friendly league survive?

Tables yes, last round details no.
no fever teams in my league this season. Sad face. Had hoped there would be. You're all in group 2 it seems and I'm stuck in group 3.
So back to league 1 this season..... touch luck but hope i can bounce back

Grrivals! No idea how I got promoted. That certainly wasn't the plan, but I'll take it!
Will probably get owned this season so I'm expecting a write off. Looking to build for future anyway. Pulled another 4/4.5 star player on the weekend. Should have a decent squad in 3-4 seasons!
up 2-0 at half time away from home to a good team. (minus his defence, but a good keeper)
shirts off, but its lots closer after halftime, 2-1 ahead but under pressure
edit. Conceeded in extra time... 2-2. one player let the team down with a 2.7 rating. not the best start..
What a start to the season! With no additions from last season, I knock over SHC FC, who were in the Prem last season, 3-2, coming from 2-1 after 75 minutes to steal a huge first-up win.
With some defensive reinforcements hopefully coming over the next few days that is a big time start to the campaign.
Trains went down 0 - 1 at The Bush, dominated the second half and fought back to 1 - 1 after 80 mins, and promptly conceeded a second after 82. 1 - 2 loss at a close to sold out Home Bush Road.
got Peow FC in my league this year! started with a 1-0 win for my 1sts.
Went up 2-0 before HT vs another promoted team to the Championship. Ended up losing 4-2.
Might need to change my attacking tactics, or even just give my younger players routine and count this season as a write off!
1-1 draw against TM newcomers J.C Taradale, at home in front of 29k+ spectators.
upgraded a couple defenders since then, new goalie has slightly better stats than the last.
Absolutely bizarre, down 1-0 to Heart and their monster keeper 
Gergõ Kovácz, go attacking and boom, up 4-1, go back to defensive after 70 minutes and nearly blow it before winning 4-3.
What a start to the season, into the top four.
Trains thumped 6 - 0. Not good.
lost to a shit team... really bad start to the season
Got dicked 9-1...... As predicted this season is a write off!
anyone else having problems getting into trophymanager?
after 3 wins I'm top of the league!!!! wont last long though
Trains picked up their first win (2 - 1) in the Championship. All is not lost... back on track?
Chew chew.
Drew 1 and lost 2 last night.
Fu*k this stupid game.
...morale is low...
0-0 in both my games approaching halftime
Whips took it 2-1 in the end at his home ground in a grrrivals match in Kiwi Champ!
I am going to promote some of my up and coming young players into the squad to get experience as my reserve team is bulging at the seams.
I'm relegated that I will be.... well relegated from the championship this season.
woo 6-2 win for my 1st team, 3-0 win for the reserves :)

Had me worried for a bit there, good lineup you picked and it looked like your solid keeper was going to keep me out for a while.
Still in third, which is kinda crazy, but even though Ill fall back down to earth, the more points I gain now means the further away I'll be from relegation playoffs.
10 shots on target to 1. So Ofcoarse I lose 1-0
