Well, there's always the complimentary pogo sticks, the hydroslide, and the ball pit stolen from a 1980s McDonalds playground

Lost 1-0 to a late goal again, this is getting ridiculous, can't score to save myself.

Yes! 2-0 Win over Khandallah Lokomotive, was picking a draw with this one.

Back up to 7th, Richmond SS up next - this will be tight

Ard Righ bought this up on twitter. Perhaps we should have a generic Yellowfever TM hashtags on twitter. 

Think smithyinwelly came up with #TMyf or something similar. 

Anyone have ideas? I fail at creating hashtags (my last one was #operationgetallyourchristmasshoppingdoneonxmasevebeforeyoustartworkat2pm - it didn't trend or catch on in any way)

That actually sounds like a good idea, that way it makes it easier to follow, and also we may end up trending in the evenings.

AD Fafe took a very nice 2-1 win last night to move back to third in League 1 Group 1 (Honestly I don't want promotion at all, rather have another season to build in the third level, but if I get promoted, I get promoted), my right back is finally back, so my versatile defender is back to the bench.

#TMYF it is?

I'm second on goal difference in NZ, and top of the league in Australia by goal difference. Fun season!

YF rivalry match tonight against Battle Hill, let's finally get a win!

On second thought, my expectations are too high, let's go for 0-0.

Wow! I'm sitting 3rd, but don't think I should be that high. Playing 5th place who seem much better than me. Went 0-1 up away, but back to 1-1 now. Thought I'd be fighting to avoid relegation, but am fighting for promotion!

Nice work with a goal N-Bomb, I managed to get a victory to move back to third. Don't think I really am good enough for playoffs, but we'll see.

I logged in today for the first time in over a week... not having a laptop sucks balls!!! (SWIDT).

Still can't score goals so have changed my formation a little though that was also forced by injury, I need a couple of reasonable attacking players pronto!

Wow, 8-2.... where did that come from.... It was a matter of time before Seghers scored, 2 goals on his return from injury but the defence just fell apart! 
I have plenty of 3.5-4 star potential players (Haidar 4 star) so I'm just going to sit back and take the thumpings until my team is a real contender.

Wow ! 8-2 ! Was close first half haha. Your keeper had a shocker! As your young players get more routine and improve you'll get better. I did actually think you were gonna lose that one, but not by that much!
I'll probably by Pro soon and get a reserve team, then get into the youth market. I'm going too awesome to chuck youngsters in my first team. Good that I'm going well, but stops me from getting youngsters routine.

Complete dominance but could only get a 1-1 draw.... Could be worse, only one point away from getting out of the relegation zone.

Yeah I completely dominated a team last night and ended up drawing 2-2. So annoyed. Hurts my chances at finishing top this season. It's such a tight league in the top 6! Also my Aussie team lost, so am no longer top of that league either.

ugh 4-0 loss :/ at least my players barely ever get cards or injuries.  Gotta pick up some points to stay in the top half, a lot tougher than I thought it would be at the beginning of the season

Was winning most the match then they equalised in third minute of injury time. Damn annoying. Missed the final goal - was thinking I'd won then saw the full time score to my dismay.

Played 5-3-2, defensively against a bloody scary team who are way too good for League 1, managed to get the 1-1 draw! In my div there was a 7-0, a 4-2, and Battle Hill FC won 8-2 for the second consecutive game!

It depends how many teams end up IA. It's possible league 2 will be created during the season, but then disappear in the season update as IA and banned teams are removed.


Looks like that's what is happening, 3 league 2 divisions have been made, no active teams it seems, at least I hope not because I'm not keen  on relegation.

On Sunday The Trains had their first visit to AD Fafe's Parque Municipal dos Desportos stadium.

Singing on the Train went home happier than the Fafeful, with The Trains winning 0 - 3.

Damn Trains, thought I was right in that game until the 72nd minute, was a good game, and then got put out of the game by a 5 minute rush and that was that...Looks like a mid table season for me. Seem to have been unable to stop goals being scored lately.

Just got back from reporting on the Auckland v Waikato match, usually I watch the whole game the next morning but might sit back and watch how I go tonight. Playing defensively against a superb attacking but average defending side, went back and forth on strategies but might just try for a point.

Hmmm well that went badly this morning. I got hammered 6-1, not even really sure what to make of it all, my team has gone from max scores of 2-1 to having about 15 goals conceded in our last 3 league games...

We were singing this morning, especially when our defense turned around our previous form and held a clean sheet for the first time this season.
