Here's a temporary thread to dicuss TM, including round 3 of the Yellow Fever League, until the old threads are returned.
Temporary Thread
Shame the new website made you post it twice then so we diffinately wont miss it.
Yesterday sucked big hairy dogs balls. Not only did the trains conspire to lose 2 - 1 to Island bay United, but the Dom Post decided to put the boot in against the Steam Engines too!

You'd think after winning 10 - 1 the local press would be able to write a positive article wouldn't you?
My 1-6 win at the swamp has to be one of my favourite games ever. Watched the replay about 5 times today.
It was completely my fault, I went to three at the back for my previous two games against B teams, and forgot to change it back to 4 at the back before I started work.
Losing 1-0 atm, 4/2/1 to 7/5/0.
Mini Monkeys play the Steam Engines tonight.
Grrrrrr.
Four fucking one. terrible game.. Well played sir.
Four fucking one. terrible game.. Well played sir.
Was out last night. Sailed all day today, then out again tonight. Just got home and watched the replay! Oh how sweet is this? 4 - 1 over the Mini-Monkeys... only the Steam Engines third ever win, but WHAT a team to do it against! YESSSSS!!!
A Hatrick for Vinnie Caputo, and a 10 rating Man of the Match performance from Oliver Pell.
Stoked.
Just wait until the 5th ever Khandallah-Tawa Derby on Tuesday, we will take revenge for Friday's loss with a much more important first team win in the YF League.
1-0 up vs Peow!
Edit: 1-1 now...
Great match vs Peow - he beat me 3-4 and survived down to 10 men the last 10 minutes or so. Think I beat him 0-1 in our first match, so he takes the tie on away goals !
Winner is me.
For the third game in a row, Tawa FC went down 1-0 and then came back to win 2-1. Weird stuff.
Also, recieved this message when I tried to watch Tawa B's game:
The match was decided before it even got started. Tawa Mini Monkeys won the match 3-0 due to B TSV Blenheim not being able to field a full 16-man line-up.
Bizarre.
Also, it's very unlikely the old threads will be returned, so feel free to create ones for the MatchDays, the Friendly League, transfers and the other ones that I can't remember.
As you can imagine, importing all the posts is hardly a high priority at Fever HQ as they are focusing on getting the site running as well as possible, and to be honest, doesn't really matter at all for us.
Good plan.
Will let Blair set up the Friendly League one, so he can have his tables etc on the first post of the thread.
Feel free to set up any others.
Almost kick off time here at Homebush Road. The Swamp Monkeys are here. It's ALL on...
OK I'll try and do it later. Will have to sort out how I'm gonna post the tables etc so they are readable - formatting seems a bit limited in here at the moment though admittedly I haven't had a good play around with it.
10 minutes gone, no score. The highlight so far has been the commentator observing that Michael Sanders, The Swamp Monkeys' star striker is (and I quote) "Just not up to the challenge..."
Boom Shanka!
31 minutes gone and Charlie Ring gives the Trains the lead!
The Trains are up 1 - 0 at The Bush at half time.

Judas! Judas1 Judas!!!
Marco makes it 2 - 0 Trains!
Hold the phone! The Swamp Monkeys have got one back...
Piss on Chips! Swamp Monkeys equalise...
As it stands, the trains are bottom of div 2...
I am aware of that fact...
Just thought I ought to make sure...
Oh FFS! 2 -3 Swamp Monkeys!
The wheels are falling off...
Are you Steve Kean in disguise?
BOOOOOOM!
1-0 down at half-time, EQC now lead Wellywood Utd 2-1 with a 89th minute Chris Wood goal. 4 minutes ET to go...
the Trains were threatening the promotion race just a few games ago. Now we've lost 5 in a rowm (before this game). It's a crisis of confidence at Homebush Road...
Oh man. There might be riots. Singing on the Train are NOT happy!
Finishes 2-1 at Rubble Stadium. Wellington United only had one shot on target and made it count, but they'll regret giving Chris Wood a free header in the dying stages of the game.
We're now up to 3rd on the table, 1 point behind tegal & Thunderthighs, and 6 points clear of 4th place. Real turn around from the first league, and I'm stoked we've beaten the other three relegation candidates in the first round.
