This is going to be a serious test for me to escape relegation!
Bad result last night didn't help either!
-
3-5-2 is not a good formation when you have to play longball.
you better try 4-5-1 use wings or 3-5-2 use wings in rainy/snow conditions
if you want to play longball try 5-2-3 or 4-3-3, also I saw 2-5-3 working well (Realale Madrid is using it with succes)
-
Thanks for the advise mihai.
I don't quite have the players to go changing formations too much at the moment, squad build is still in full swing.
Got my first win last night, tough game against saiyan warriors tonight!

Relagation battle well and truly underway!
Time for siege mentality ;D
-
The Cricketers were taught a harsh footballing lesson last night by Lucy's Tigers, games don't get any easier with me facing The Rumour Mill who are in second place.
-
Good luck Booker. I feel your pain when it comes to battling relegation! Early days with your squad so no worries if you do get relegated, just means more preparation for next time ;)
-
Cheers mate!
Improved performance last night from my boys, only going down 2-0 to The Rumour Mill. One of my key defenders suffered a bad injury, will need to find a replacement before tomorrow's game!
-
It's been a tough few days for The Cricketers, four defeats in a row against the top teams in the division. Another very hard game tonight against Hoarse Whisperers, hopefully I can start picking a few points up soon!
-
Season starts tonite @booker for you. Make it yours. All the best.
-
Thanks mate.
Proud of my lads even though I lost last night.

I reckon you can get 8 wins 2 draws mate in the 2nd half of season. Should be nicely away from danger.
Next season top 6 is realistic along with a place in the Friendly League ;)
#recruitmentstartsnow
-
I like your optimism mate, fancy joining my coaching staff? ;D
Good win last night for my lads, the great escape is on!
-
Always willing to help and share my vast expertise ;D
Beating the team in 9th 6-0 can only give you confidence for the run in.
-
Narrow win against the bottom team last night.
5 Points from Safety.
-
Just looking at the top of league.
Top 3 all on same points, looks like a good fight for the championship!
-
Keep it up Booker! :-)

Wow! Missed two penalties! The gods were against me last night!

I had a player in my team who was awol for the game last night.
Only thing is he wasn't showing as awol before the game or after!
Any ideas guys?
-
Also that player wasn't even in my team or subs when I set my tactics!
Confused!

Crucial win last night puts me 3 points from safety!
Tough run in though, it's gonna be close!
-
http://smokey.sundayleague.com/cgi-bin/sundayleague/leaguetables.pl (http://smokey.sundayleague.com/cgi-bin/sundayleague/leaguetables.pl)
4 wins in a row have put me 1 point from safety!
Must win game tonight as I play the top 4 teams in the run in, looks like it's going down to the wire!
-
That's a nasty run in Jimmy, you need those points tonite. Best of luck to you
-
Cheers Steve!
http://smokey.sundayleague.com/cgi-bin/sundayleague/leaguetables.pl?a=0 (http://smokey.sundayleague.com/cgi-bin/sundayleague/leaguetables.pl?a=0)
I got the win! 2 points above the drop zone, think I'm gonna need a few more points against the top teams!
-
Great to have you in The Friendly League Jimmy
Great win last nite, I reckon you need 1 more win, Hinckley look like they will get 1 more win also. It's in your hands now.
-
Best of luck Booker you deserve to stay up
-
Thanks mate.
Fantastic result last night against Lucys Tigers has put me up to 10th in the league!

Well played last night Theblade, thought I might have gotten away with a draw.
I need at least one point from my last two games to guarantee safety.
I've only got the top team Notts County and Hoarse Whisperers to play, easy. ;D
-
http://smokey.sundayleague.com/cgi-bin/sundayleague/match.pl?fixtureid=8486605 (http://smokey.sundayleague.com/cgi-bin/sundayleague/match.pl?fixtureid=8486605)
The gulf in class was just too much last night, thought I might have at least scored a goal though!
I need a point tonight against hoarse whisperers as the team below me have an easy game!
It's all come down to the last game!
-
Well done to Hoarse Whisperers who hammered me 3-0 last night to finally put the nail in my coffin.
I go down on goal difference, always knew it was gonna be close!
Well done to Notts County for winning the league, mainly with 5-2-3 formation too!
-
Unlucky booker, admirable that you took on the challenge instead of just entering a team in 3-1-2. You'll be able to build now and come back in a season's time with a team capable of causing a few problems.
-
Cheers mate.
Hopefully my team will be a bit stronger and I can bounce straight back up next season!
-
Anyone from conf 3 interested in representing the conference in the champions league? We are still two sides short? Booker?
-
Yeah I'm up for it!
Where do I sign up?
-
Once I get a 4th team from conf 3 il do the draw and il message you mate thanks for helping out
-
Jon, you can take Notts County into account ...
I will sign them :D
-
Cheers mihai you're a star!

No idea what happened here, I was only losing on tactics for 5 mins.
Granted my players aren't quite as good but I think it still should have been closer.
Can anyone spot something I've missed?

Well yes --- But since you and I are likely to be in direct competition for the next few seasons at least I'll have to stand back (though if anyone else want to help you that's fine and in the spirit of the game). There are reasons I can see (more than one) but learning is part of the (if sometimes painful) fun. ;-)

your player, J.Czarfunee, is out of position ... he's a central midfielder, you should have used a left midfielder or anyside central midfielder.
this thing, players out of positions, it's the thing that match engine penalize the most
-
Thanks for the feedback mihai, didn't realise having one player out of position would effect the score so much.
I will get revenge Dave! Look forward to our next encounter! ;D
-
its nice to see someone making use of the 5-2-3 as well...
Looking forward to a few battles when your team comes to strength Booker 8)
-

I will get revenge Dave! Look forward to our next encounter! ;D
Can't wait. Or, given that my squad still has a way to go, can wait ;-)
I would also say that, IMO, the out of position player wasn't your only problem (one that might sort itself out over a few seasons if you don't) but that's for you to consider. :-)
-
Good luck tonight Dave.
Got my work cut out again I think.
-
Well played Dave, too much for me again!
-
Well played Dave, too much for me again!
I haven't really looked at the report yet (just because I've been busy with too much other stuff) but you clearly did better than the first match :-)
Promotion is one thing but next season could be hard for the promoted teams (I reckon they will likely be at least one season behind where they might need to be) and survival could depend on others having bad seasons. Have you played in a Prem before?
-
Yeah I took over a team in the relegation zone last season.
I went down on last game of season.
-
Hey Booker, been reading your posts on your battle against relegation last season since you rejoined (great read mate) in your opinion do you reckon you could have stayed up if you had a full season?
I've got a team in 3-2-1 and I'll go up through the playoffs to 3-1-4 next season which is where I will begin investing in a side but I'm thinking of moving straight to 3-1-2 and aiming for promotion straight away with a team of season 1's. This will mean that if i'm successful I will be in the top league with season 1/2 players but could risk getting relegated if there not ready, Would you say it's worth the risk ?
Cheers
-
Hi Touch, didn't you play felix back in the day?
I think I joined the top league about 10 games in with 0 points, I was also still building my team, so yeah I would've avoided relegation if I had a full season.
I would build your team up for a season then join the top league, what you got to lose? You might even pull off a few shock results mate.
-
That's me mate the very same one. It's been a very long time but I got the urge to start playing again!
Thanks for the info, I'll probably make the move to 3-1-2 for the start of next season then!
Will be good getting back into playing again it's looking as competitive as ever with all the managers on one server so should be good fun.
-
Good to see you back mate!
-
Yeah I took over a team in the relegation zone last season.
I went down on last game of season.
'course you did --- I should have remembered that.
It could be tough again, even though your team (our teams) should be better than this season. Prem teams tend to hang around because they pick up points --- and that's a knack. It could be the classic "One place above the relegation zone will do nicely" ;-)

It'd mean one less definite relegation team which would probably be a good thing. :)
-
Big game in 3-2-1 tonight as Touchnplay take on the league leaders in his first game back against a human team ...
-
Lol, i was gunna stay silent about it but its my 3rd team, youre playing Touchnplay. Just going through the motions voting for credits... my moneys on you mate
-
Despite being completely outclassed tactically Touchnplay come away with a 3-1 win to reduce the gap at the top to a mere 15 points with 8 games remaining lol
Good game Dave having a decent striker is the only reason I won :)
-
Haha, im just glad you returned mid-season. Itll take another season to amass the credits i need for a full squad of 500s. Plus im buying young with this team so i dont envisage myself being very competitive until seasons 9 and 10... If ever lol
-
Yeah I did think about going down the voting for credits route as well mate, may still have to if the only way you can pay is by paypal on this server.
Got myself a 16 year old cm who can play on either side for 500 last night by no means a world beater now but in 5 seasons he will be quite decent so it can be done
-
Congratulations to Hoarse Whispers for taking over Conference Three this season. Absolutely well done!
Highest regards,
Lucy
-
Cheers Lucy,
You kept me on my toes all season :)
Nice to see Dave back next year...
-
I'm not sure about "nice" but having Dave back would be getting back to normal. :D
-
I doubt I'll bother either of you much. If I avoid rlegation I'll be happy :-)
-
Can we end the season now please? ;D
-
Haha nice start mate, I've decided I'm going to work my way back up so when I get to your division I will be able to give you and the rest a run for your money!
-
Well played Lucy,
Dave is still in the shed after the pasting you gave him ;D
-
I'm sure he was shocked. That result won the season for me . Good to have you back, Dave. :D
-
Ooooh there's only to be a spare space in 3-1-1 next season, it's tempting to just make the jump. That will mean I lose my Champions Shield space though right?
-
Also congrats Lucy on winning 3-1-1
-
Well played Lucy.
You were too good.
-
Hey Conf 3. How's it going? ;D
-
Well played Lucy.
You were too good.
That's so nice of you to say. 😊
The match engine was pretty easy on me this season.
Also no managers played Psycho
to deliberately injure my team.
I wish all of you the same good luck I had.
Lucy
-
Hey Conf 3. How's it going? ;D
More meat for the grinder ;D

The bullet club hoping for top 8
-
I'm sure he was shocked. That result won the season for me . Good to have you back, Dave. :D
Oh the season was over by then so I decided to experiment a bit. And I obviously learnt a couple of things to avoid doing this season. My squad is still in development so my expectations will remain fairly low but hope costs nothing ;-)
Hearty congratulations on the title BTW --- Well deserved :-)
-
Thanks Dave. For various reasons, several seasons ago, I dropped my other team. I hope I can do well this season.
Cheers,
Lucy

Oh you will, you will.
And re: your earlier comment about nobody playing psycho against you, I did get that. Why he did it I have no idea and it caught me unawares but I lost four important players long-term. I have to consider taking some revenge this season except he won't be challenging so would it be worth it? And since I was very happy to finish where I did, maybe I'll just forget it. Maybe. 8). I've had a nice rest (apart from having had to share Lynne's suffering) but this team is all I have and it's still a young squad so there's not exactly a lot of pressure --- Yet ;-)
So maybe I am coming for you ..................... ;) :-* ;D
-
Okay Dave...Bring it on!😀 I love the challenge whatever the outcome. (That's depending on my still being around).
-

"Still being around" could have many interpretations?
-
The thing is I have 4 doctors with different specialties. "All the king's horses"... I'm glad I kept this team.😇
-
Who wimped out of 3-1-1?
-
Lowes is gone.
-
Lowes is gone.
Oh. :(
They were a decent team to have in the Conference. Shame.
Does my surivival chances some good though! ::)
-
Where did lowes A sneak off to?
-
It looks like his team is in 3-3-4.
-
Soundly thrashed last night by the blade.
Back to the drawing board.
-
Everyone happy to end this season at this point? Haha. ;D
-
What a crazy evening. 3 of the top 4 all losing, leaving Nijinsky with a four point gap.
-
Congrats Nijinsky. Dominant performance this season!
-
Cheers Matey,
I had a bit of luck though.....
-
Cheers Matey,

Every winner needs a bit of luck. It doesn't ever take away from finishing top :-)
I'm hoping for a bit of luck next season ;-)
-
Congratulations Hoarse Whisperers for winning the season! You're an amazing manager. My team feels the agony of defeat!😢
Best Wishes,
Lucy
-
Ha, Cheers Lucy (and Dave)
Was lucky to beat you last time out and Dave did a kamikazi on himself.
Goog luck next season :)
-
Keep pulling out big results out from somewhere! Not sure how long we can keep pressure on Nijinsky and Lucy. :o Its good fun whilst it lasts though!
-
Well done Lucy.
Fingers crossed for the double :)
-
I really did it! Thanks for wishing it for me. That was very kind of you.🙂
Lucy
-
Well done Lucy!
Sure we can't tempt you to join us in the UCB?
-
Finally made it to the promised land of 3-1-1 hoping to give you all a run for your money next season!
-
Hopefully this is the season we've all been waiting for and C3 finally bursts into life. Can't pick a winner out of 6/7 teams, with us all hopefully taking points off each other!
Hopefully a bit more life on the forums now too!!
-
The Bullet Club hoping to make a bang this season
-
Ill be posting a bit too guys, looking forward to getting thrashed by you all ;)
-
Totally agree Contrast going to hopefully be a great season looking forward to playing active managers every night definitely going to keep things interesting. Got Dave second game so looking to exact some revenge after he pipped me to the title on goal difference last season
-
Muahahaha, looking forward to it mate, i was definitely surprised i took you down last season ;)
-
Think you'll surprise yourself Dave. Definitely a chance of Top 8!
Really hope we get a good team take that final CPU spot. Noticed RKS City have joined up too! Such a good division now.

-
What a naff start to the season for my boys!! Gotta hope the rest of you lot take points off each other now!
-
Long way to go yet contrast, good friendly match today to warm us up for tomorrows division clash which could go either way!
-

Always a close match. Been a season or two since we played competitively. Both come a long way since then!!
-
yeah definitely mate, Im only just recovered after spurs madrid last night so im not confident my team is going to be in best shape tonight
-
Will take last nights and Spurs' results mat! ;)
-
Argh so annoying that I must not have confirmed my ATs correctly ended up playing an injured player an no style changes.
In the top leagues you get punished well played mate thoroughly deserved the win
-
Not quite sure how I didn't come away with a draw last night at least but the honeymoon period is definitely over!
-
Would be helpful if Dave and myself took points off Lucy and Nijinsky!
-
Due to injury and awol, one of my players will be a DMiID(C) playing for a MID(R). I've been long overdue for a problem like this. I can't wait to see how much of a difference it makes. None I suppose if I lose on strategy. Lol

No difference at all it seems.

Six wins on the bounce has turned this around. Shame nobody can get close to Lucy!

Evening C3,
I have decided to take the vacant spot in C3 for my 2nd team.
First aim = Avoid relegation.
3 interesting games to start with Clayton Royals tonight followed by Poachers & Lucys Tigers

Mr C
Well I can't claim to be thrilled by your joining us. Nothing personal per se but I will have to play you twice and even if I manage to win both I won't be making up the hatfuls of goals scored by others that played the computer team. Especially, given league positions. EG I am on 21 points (the same as Hoarse Whisperers) We have both conceded 7 goals. But, thanks to a 32 goal victory over the computer team his Goals For is now 52 while mine is 19. Worth an extra point in any close finish. And none of the "crumbling cookie" nonsense from anyone not adversely affected please. Oh and Rumour Mill (who I beat last night) stays in second place due to the 28 he managed to add to his Goals For in his "lucky" game There really should be a rule where any team that becomes managerless has its season's matches automatically all listed as void.
-
Yeah my thoughts too Dave.
Maybe a rule that if a computer team gets taken over anyone who played before has their results switched to 3-0? I've been banking on that game to make up GD all season.
-
Yeah have to agree with Dave and Contrast on this one, I also was looking at that game as 6 points which could go a long way to securing a top 8 finish and better GD. Oh well guess I'm going to have to do it the hard way.
Narrowly lost to Lucy last night if only my AT's were a little better could have nicked something there,
-
Got no problem with a good team joining, but just irked that rivals got a free pass and boosted their GD.
I'm sure I'll draw or lose tonight, which will be a kick in the teeth when everyone else won 20-0!
Should definitely be a rule about joining leagues after the season has started. I remember I waited until the end of the season before joining C3 for that reason.
-
Even if it was after game 15 I wouldn't have an issue. Lets hope it doesn't have a major impact on the outcome of the conference
In the long run it will be good for the competitiveness of the division
-

Very fair point about the 15 game mark.
-
Got Steve tonight hopefully going to leap frog him into 7th after a thrilling 3-2 against the fan club earlier this week surely this is the featured game
-
So Joe will it be
The Club Win Shootout
Touch Give The Club The Runaround
Bore Draw As Club Fires Blanks
-
Or Steve:
Touch Takes Bullet After Club Night Out
After the build up I'm going for a 0-0 draw
-
Yup. Drew the game. ::)
-
Davef, Contrast & Touchnplay
I fully understand where you all are coming from.
If i'm honest the sole reason why I joined the vacant 3-1-1 spot was to try bring back some more hunger to play this game and not to annoy others.
In my opinion the game is starting to fade again with things like the UCB failing to get up and running, Gold Competitions like the World and Super Cups barely getting to 16 teams and normally only 8 where they used to fill up so quick and top managers departing for one reason or another.
Yes I could of waited until game 15 or next season but the lower division I was in was boring me playing CPU's or Managed teams where managers don't show up.
Why 3-1-1??
No disrespect to any current managers in this division but I saw a division that I feel I can compete in even at this early stage with a team of season ones, My first 2 results shows I can (Although I am currently Rock Bottom)
I also see there is at least 10 active managers maybe more who would give you a good battle at night and that's why I came back to SL after around a 10 year break to be competitive again, look forward to checking my scores in the morning etc.
Well I have said my piece and that's my reasons behind the sudden move.
Tomorrow I have Lucy's Tigers who have currently Won 11/11 games and are 6 points clear and seem to be cruising to the title already, fingers crossed I can nick a point.
I doubt that will happen ;D
Regards
Mr C
-
You don't have to explain the reasons for joining mate as I said in the long run it will be good for the competitiveness of the division also you are active on the forums so hopefully it will bring more engagement/banter to this thread.
Good to have you here and look forward to beating you next week ;)
-
You got more chance of Spurs getting a result at The Emirates on November 18th than beating me!
:-)
-
It's not a problem with the manager Mr C, it's a problem with the game.
Again, not your fault but you quoted Lucy's recent record and then, in the match against her, with her squad being far better than yours and her match performance being the better, you beat her. No Red cards or injuries to influence matters --- and you even managed to wear the wrong boots. The winning goal game when tactics were matched and Lucy (as far as I could see) made no silly positional errors.
These are the kind of things that make managers say "why bother" (or why bother spending on the game). I certainly don't spend anything like I did back in the day --- but, looking at some of the squads, there are managers out there who are spending and possibly spending a lot. Which would be fine if the game was all about "fun" and not seriously competitive? (as it clearly is for more than just a few)?
Will I spend much time/effort on my game tonight against Mr C's lot? Probably not --- then if I lose or drop a point I won't feel I have wasted much time or effort. If the game is dying then I'd suggest it's more self-inflicted than anything else - and that's a real shame.
-
Hi Dave
Did you read the match report in detail?
I think the 1-0 win was more than justified.
I won 30mins - 0min on Tactical Advantage throughout the game
0-15 Mins = Me
30 mins -45 Mins = Me
The rest of the game = Same
Boots - Blades can be worn on a Normal Pitch as can Moulds (It even says on the strategy forum building your squad) so the correct boots were worn. Other managers do this and I find Blades work just as good.
I noticed she changed to Nutter @ 75mins with a Pansy / Normal ref at a push so that's maybe why the goal came late in the 87th minute and the game didn't finish 0-0. Although there was 30mins I could have gone 1-0 up as she had 0 mins on me.
I performed better on the night and gained a good result in my eyes.
Mr C
-
Hmmm, yup I read it
And I said my post was an attack on the game, not on you. You did read that?
Maybe others will comment on your thoughts on Aggression but otherwise I'll just wish you luck.
-
Don't think it matters, whole division is skewed this season. . I've lost a bit of passion for setting up for the evening games. Roll on next season!
-
I'll just tend to my injured men ;)
-
Hey all,
I have decided to give the game another shot after years away. I see some people are still around!
Anyways gonna start building my team so it might take me a while to get competitive, going to move to 3-1-2 and hopefully next season I can play with the big boys & girls ;D
P.s: what happened to the 3-1-1 thread I created? :P :'( ;)
-
Took a gamble last night and it went very wrong. Should help your GD issue though, Dave!!
-
With the Friendly League and my main two teams taking up my time and thoughts it is with mixed emotions that I have to say that my final game as manager of The Bullet Club is tonite. From Friday the team will be managed by Bri (CSI Westgate On Sea) Good Luck guys for the rest of the campaign to all teams
-
Ahhh Steve that is such sad news was looking forward to battling it out with you over the coming seasons. Good luck in your other conferences and FL and make sure you tell Bri to get involved here.
Got Mr C tonight about as much chance of getting something as spurs v arsenal so they say. After seeing Spurs last night I'm very hopeful ;)

Haha! To be fair they looked good but equally Real Madrid were poor and missed a bag full of chances!
The Europa League is where it's at tonight people!!!
Oh and then Touchnplay v OCO Reserves to top it off!
-
Just to introduce myself to all managers in Conference Three as I take over "The Bullet Club" now to be known as "AFC Isle of Thanet"
My Name is Brian Gilbert and I have been playing this game for a great many years but not serious until late last year when I was offered help by one of the more experienced managers. He directed me to where I would find out information on how to play the game and every so often he sent messages with more advice. Now the game has got serious. My First team was CSI-Westgate on Sea and plays in 711. Also in FL3 in which I write the daily reports for the forum.
Eventually I took over a team in 612 and that team became Thanet Invicta and now plays in 611.
I am looking forward to playing the second part of the season with you all and my opening match tonight is against Lucys Tigers. What a christening for me😅.
Best wishes to you all.
Brian
-
Good luck Brian, great to have you mate :)
-
Twice in 2 days Mr C well played. Tactically out done me in both games.
Great to have you on board Brian!
-
Hi Everyone, would you guys be up for an conference 3 cup?
-
Flying up the Division!
Be great to steal a Top 8 Finish.
-
Lost all passion for the game already. Haven't set up for a few days and now can't be bothered. Argh. Hopefully will recapture the spirit somewhere.

Is my mid season move to the Division partly to blame?

Not at all. Can't even be bothered with FL4 which is ridiculously tight.
-
Hope you regain your passion soon mate youve got a great squad and on top on FL4 There be a few trophies coming your way soon im sure !
-
I think that is the biggest margin for a long time.
Well played Lucy.
-
Thank you! I think it's bizarre. 😂 Now it's your turn!
-
Hoping to hand Lucy's Tigers their 2nd defeat of the season following from my 1-0 Win earlier this term.
Buzzing that I got from 16th - 6th!
My goals against column still looks interesting though, ;D
-
Dear Mr. Cobra,
If I hadn't read your post, I wouldn't have bothered to set up. Funny isn't it?
Regards,
Lucy

8) Well played.

Congrats Lucy well deserved, took me to the cleaners the other night
-
Congrats on the title Lucy!
Just managed to reach the promotion play-off so I should go up to 3-1-1. Definitely don't have a competitive team yet but it will be great to play real players! Looking forward to it.

Looking forward to having you. It's becoming a great little Division that's getting stronger each season. Shame we can't temp Wizard over. Would be the place for new exciting teams that by summer time shouldmbe THE division on the game!
-
We've got the most competitive division for next season no doubt just look at the top teams either were killing it in the Fl bar Lucy just look at how competitive it is

Admittedly I did think about joining 3-1-1 when I joined up a few months back, but I ended up heading back to my spiritual home (7-1-1), which was my competitive resting place back in the Piggy days. That isn't to say that I won't contemplate the thought in the future. I appreciate the thought though mate!
Always checking up on you all to see how you are all getting on. Congrats Lucy, you are the manager to beat at the minute (though, you've always been rather brilliant!)
-

I am looking forward to having a full 30 Game crack at 3-1-1.
I have surprised myself this season.
I personally think my Reserves are a stronger squad than my main team.
Be an interesting season...
-
Yeah you've invested really well on your reserves defence its given you a really strong team. In my next cycle of buying players thats where I'm going to spend the most as everyone has pretty much 99's across midfield the defence is where the best sides really get the advantage.
I'm still hoping to sneak a top 8 finish and been experimenting with tactics I'm hoping for a much better season next year.
Also hoping to avenge that 1-0 defeat against you last time out Mr C ;)
-
I'll be happy just causing some upsets next season ;D
I still need about 2 seasons to actually be able to give it a good go. My main objective will be to try and sneak and ICC spot and promotion to FL4

I see it’s Me vs You on the Final game of the season!
Very interesting
-
Good luck building up your team Turner. Wizard, l've missed you! Your Wizards always played attacking but managed to be maddeningly unpredictable!
Thanks everybody for your nice comments. The credits from the EC will keep me in cheap players for another season. In order to play in other competitions, I'd have to use credits that I don't have to spare. Best wishes for success in the FL. :)
-
Just seen a computer team is coming up next season hopefully another good manager decides to take its place at the start of the season 1

It's destiny, Wizard!!
What about Cove, he's always languishing in the lower divisions of C3?
-
Im going to set up a conference 3 cup for all conference 3 managers and have it run every 7 days so it goes along with our league campaign, hopefully we can get 16. I will be asking active managers across the leagues so its like a proper FA cup style competition
-
Sounds good. Count me in.
-
Count me in too!
-
i'll play too if needed.
-
Same here :)
-
I'm in!
UCB
Being champion Lucy was the captain for C3 but has decided to pass on participation.
I have sent a message to Davef who is the new provisional selected captain should he choose to play.
Could we get an idea of managers that would be up for it?
-
Brilliant I've sent you all the password.
Also messaged the other managers in 3-1-1 tonight to build interest so hopefully we will get this up and running just after the start of the new season.
Would play in the UCB if the managers above me dont want to enter.

I'm in!

-
Already got 12 people signed up for the conference cup which is brilliant just need 4 more and we are good to go
-
I've got 9 season 1 players with three more due over the top early next season so I may be a little weak for the UCB...
-
Need 2 more for the conference 3 cup hopefully day 1 tomorrow other managers will log in and see my mails I'm hoping Thanet and Saiyan fancy it or some of the promoted teams

Despite relegation the Rhubarb Triangle will be looking for a good cup run to supplement their challenge in 3-1-2

Hoarse Whisperers vs Rathpeacon
The Rumour Mill vs FC Schwifty
Clayton Royals vs Ruff Ryders

Clash of the round has too be Lucy Tigers Vs Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs a draw neither side will be relishing.
Finally thanks everyone for joining so quickly it should be great fun. Good luck to all!
Edit: Just realised it starts in a week rather than tomorrow my bad
-
Great job!! Great to get this Conference alive and kicking and also great to see it near the top of the forum every day! Good effort guys. Hopefully we can attract some more good managers and a human player before the start of the season!!
-
Yeah it's great to see that we have a very active top division. There's a couple of active teams in the lower leagues as well. I would say overall in conference 3 there are 18-20 active managers based on the response recieved from the conference cup message
-
Great job!! Great to get this Conference alive and kicking and also great to see it near the top of the forum every day! Good effort guys. Hopefully we can attract some more good managers and a human player before the start of the season!!
I still say we try and get Eamon (Rathpeacon) or Wizard over to join us?!
-
Tried Mr C with Eamonn I think he is happy building his squad up in the lower leagues for now you'll have to work your magic on wizard ;)
-
Tried Mr C with Eamonn I think he is happy building his squad up in the lower leagues for now you'll have to work your magic on wizard ;)
God knows how many season's it will take for Eamon to get to 3-1-1
At this rate SL 3 may be out lol.
-
Nice work on the cup Touch!
Good luck to all on the new season!
-
Cheers Turner, good work on everyone's part to make it happen. I'm hoping there are a few surprises along the way!
Rich away first game of the season is going to be a tough game and a good indicator of how strong my team is for this season.
-
You'll smash me regardless tonight. My gelling is zero across the board again.
-
Saying that guarantees you will get something now Rich just the way it goes 8)
-
I think the battle for the 3-1-1 title could be fascinating.
This league could be very open but I can't see past Lucy retaining her title.
Can't wait to have a full 30 game shot at this!
Let the games begin!
-
I've already looked you all over and picked who I think will win the next title. It's unlikely to be me. I'm hoping to do well though. I love the enthusiasm 3-1-1 has going now. It's all good!😀
Fingers crossed,
Lucy

Conference 3 Opening Day Fixtures and Preview / Predictions
Lucys Tigers vs Ruff Ryders
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs Padstow Town
The Rumour Mill vs Barnsley Bullets
Hoarse Whisperers vs Dynamo St Jude
Poachers FC vs Touchnplay
Thanet United vs RKS City
Ocean City Reserves vs FC Schwifty
Clayton Royals vs Saiyan Warriors
Lucy's Tigers start their defence of the 3-1-1 crown this evening when they host newly back to the game / Conference 3 Turner and his Ruff Ryders. The Ryders who were promoted via the playoffs may feel like they have been literally thrown to the tigers by the fixture computer with this opening day corker! On the other hand everyone has to play eachother twice and perhaps it maybe best get this one out of the way early and then assess how far the seasons ambitions can be?!?
Dave & his Pigs host the only CPU team Padstow Town and can sit back and smoke a cigar for this one!
The Rumour Mill will be hoping for a solid start against newly promoted Barnsley Bullets and I cant see nothing past a routine home win, maybe the Yorkshire team have other ideas?!
Old Foes clash in the Poachers v Touchnplay game this evening, these 2 play each other a lot and should know their opponents inside out. Who will gain the upper hand on day 1??
Ocean City Reserves who caused a stir with their arrival last season host FC Schwifty a team their manager Mr C doesn't know too much about. Could be an interesting one.
Nijinsky and his Hoarse Whisperers come up against Dynamo St Jude one of the other newly promoted teams, with Nijinsky going through a rebuilding stage he will still hope he has another to see of his opponents.
Newly renamed Thanet United start their season against the hit and miss RKS City, Thanet will be looking to build on a good finish to the 3-1-1 campaign last season and aim for a higher finish!
Clayton Royals host Saiyan Warriors in the final game.
Day 1 Predictions
Lucys Tigers 2 v 0 Ruff Ryders
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs 17 v 0 Padstow Town
The Rumour Mill 4 v 0 Barnsley Bullets
Hoarse Whisperers 6 v 1 Dynamo St Jude
Poachers FC 1 v 1 Touchnplay
Thanet United 3 v 0 RKS City
Ocean City Reserves 2 v 0 FC Schwifty
Clayton Royals 3 v 1 Saiyan Warriors
Enjoy what could be a very open 3-1-1 this season!
I will do as many previews and reviews as I can.

You're too modest Lucy you will definitely be there or there abouts I would be genuinely surprised if you finish lower than second. Looked at the teams myself after that and Dave's Pigs I reckon are going to run you very close this season.
Edit: Nice write up Mr C look forward to hearing more reviews and predictions!
-
2-0 Thx for being gentle Cobra ;D ;D
-
Yeah, loving the write up.
Didn't expect to give Joe a small thrashing! :o Asks more questions about Gelling and what it all means!
Go on Lucy, tell us your pick! We've all told you ours. Mines you as well by the way. Haha.

Clayton Royals 4 - 0 Saiyan Warriors
Day 1 see's all 8 home teams victorious, I managed to get all 8 results correct! (But no correct scores, Close on a couple) Poachers scored the result of the round!
-
As a newbie to conference three I have looked all the teams over and from what I see I think that the top three at the end of the season should be Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
Lucys Tigers
Hoarse Whisperers
with touchnplay not very far behind.
Still, with my prediction form in FL3, no-one should give up hope.🙂😎🙂
-
Didn't expect to give Joe a small thrashing! :o Asks more questions about Gelling and what it all means!
Wow, I definitely did not expect that. I gambled tactically and I had a feeling you were going to stick with attacking and second guessed myself - bollocks lol. However gelling wise you can have been that much over 30 for your team whereas mine was around 80, plus I've been getting some good results lately, so to lose 4-0 was a massive shock - that must be the biggest margin of win in all of the games we have played!
Well played Rich get deserved win, I'll get you back in the return fixture ☺
Loving the write up Mr C keep them coming if you have the time I'm sure others will chip in as well!!!
Lucy put your neck on the line who's going to be champion ??
Dynamo St Jude tonight time to get this season up and running

Okay. I can say that I think Dave is a legend. We have a long history. When I started to play many, many years ago, he welcomed me and shared the ins and outs of the basics and more. Then I have utmost respect for Hoarse Whisperers and can see him at the top. I also see Mr. C's OCR as a surprise and he can move up to top fast. If they do badly against each other, I'll do well.😊
-
Dynamo St Jude tonight time to get this season up and running
That has got a 1-0 Dynamo St Jude win written all over it :)
Just the motivation my players need to turn up tonight !!
Can't let Mr C do well Lucy it's common knowledge he is a dirty gooner and deserves to be punished for it ;)

Heartbreak in the ICC first round against The Seg. Gutted.

That 1-0 Win vs Lucy's in the ICC will do me nicely! Bring it on...

Day 2 Preview & Predictions of Key Matches
Lucys Tigers vs Clayton Royals
Both teams had fantastic 4-0 wins on day one this one could swing either way, could The Royals face a set of angry tigers after their ICC loss today?
Prediction 2-1
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs Poachers FC
A very interesting fixture in matchday 2 sees the Pigs and the Poachers face off. Davf's team needn't turn up yesterday as they sailed to a comfortable win over manager-less Padstow Town. The away side started off 3-1-1 with an emphatic win vs fellow rivals Touchnplay and will hope to continue their fine start.
Prediction 0-0
The Rumour Mill vs Thanet United
Tough game to call this one as both teams made good starts, The Rumour Mill may surprise a few people this season and I think they will be slightly stronger at home this evening in this low scoring affair.
Prediction 1-0
Hoarse Whisperers vs Ocean City Reserves
Both Hoarse Whisperers and OCR started well last night recording 5-1 and 3-0 wins respectively. On top of that both teams progressed into Round 2 of the ICC. Not much between them & I see tonight heading that way.
Prediction 1-1
Touchnplay vs Dynamo St Jude
Touchnplay are looking to bounce back from a horrible opening day mauling by the Poachers, they surely will get back to winnings ways against a team who started with a 1-5 lose. If not then Touchnplay could go on a bad run picking up 1 point in 3 league games like the current Tottenham team :D
Prediction 3-0
RKS City vs Ruff Ryders
I think tonight could be the night for the Ruff Ryders albeit narrowly!
RKS City a generally a stubbon team and Turner would just like to get some points on the board after last night.
Prediction 1-2
FC Schwifty vs Padstow Town
Lets have a guess what the score could be here?!?!
Prediction 7-0
Saiyan Warriors vs Barnsley Bullets
These 2 had heavy first day defeats, Not much to preview here so I am taking a wild guess.
Prediction 3-1
Mr C
-
Great preview Mr C these are really bringing something extra to the conference chat this season!
After some rumours of a second Touchnplay defeat on the bounce the boys have come good and am off the mark in style happy with that especially seeing as I have the Pigs tonight!
Been a really interesting start to the season as we expected. Big result for you Mr C yesterday 3-0 against Hoarse Whisperers that's putting down a marker! Also some of the margins of results have been a lot wider than I expected so far and by Game week 4 a maximum of 2 teams will have 100% record got a feeling we are in for season with many twists and turns especially for those ICC places.

:D Loved that result!
I have the mighty manager less Padstow tonight so I am mainly hoping for no injuries!
I will aim to do previews when I can with weekends of course being easier and I have been aiming to do the same in C4 Thread.
I will definitely do my predictions each league night though.
I haven't been far off some correct scores. I am kind of playing Super Sicks vs myself.

Been Busy this evening so only a few comments and predictions
Matchday 3 Predictions

Good Luck for Matchday 3
Mr C

You nailed the score today Cobra! Great stuff by the way thx for the effort you’re putting into this.
-

No problem.
Happy with my start to the season.
Massive showdown with Lucy's on Monday night!!
-
Another heavy loss in the league, my team are leaking more goals than West Ham at the moment! Dave wore the wrong boots as well.
Good to get poachers and pigs away out of the way early but having far worse score lines than last year is concerning. Think I'm going to finish between 9th-12th again which isn't good enough.
-
Some teams can cope with the pressures of a competitive division. Others abandon ship after three league losses in a row.
Cya later RKS City. Hope you find what you're looking for in the weakest Confernce on the game! :-*
-
A shame that RKS felt the need to leave the conference, there's lots of human teams in 3-1-2 so we should have a full compliment again next season!
I wonder if we get any surprise late entrants to the league again this time round!

Day 4 Review & Predictions
Lucys Tigers vs Ocean City Reserves
Top of the table clash this evening which see's 2 teams with 3 wins from 3 and 0 conceded. Someone's 0 has got to go!! Lucy will be looking for revenge after the ICC defeat earlier this week, this can swing either way (I'd take a point) -
Prediction 1-1 8)
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs Clayton Royals
Dave's pigs the other team with a perfect 3 from 3 host Clayton Royals who have had a strong start to the season. I will however be siding with the home advantage here.
Prediction 1-0
The Rumour Mill vs Poachers FC
It's 4th v 5th this evening and the home side remain unbeaten with 2 draws and a win in their first 3 games, Poachers have been also going quietly about their business and with not much between them I am calling it a score draw.
Prediction 1-1
Hoarse Whisperers vs Thanet United
The low scoring Thanet United travel to Hoarse Whisperers who have had a sluggish start to the season and lie in 10th. I think this is another of the low scoring games this evening and I see the unbeaten Thanet coming away with something.
Prediction 0-1
Touchnplay vs Barnsley Bullets
The home side who currently sit in 11th will be looking to fill their boots against the team who have scored only once and shipping 17 the other end. High scoring game but there is only one way this is going.
Prediction 5-0
Atletico Methodical vs Dynamo St Jude
A CPU team vs a team who since being promoted have scored once and conceeding 16. I see the away team picking up a certain 3 points here. I'll have a guess at the score of...
Prediction 2-6 LOL
FC Schwifty vs Ruff Ryders
8th host 9th tonight with both teams Winning, Drawing and Losing one each. I see an open game with a fair few goals looking at previous results.
Prediction 2-3
Saiyan Warriors vs Padstow Town
Padstow to get whipped again!
Prediction 7-0
Let's see what Day 4 brings!!!
Mr C
-
Some really interesting games tonight Lucy v Mr C obviously the headline act, looking at previous results it would seem Mr C has the edge but who knows with Lucy having the home advantage.
Looking forward to seeing how The Rumour Mill & Thanet get on tonight both very strong teams and are flying quite nicely under the radar at the start of the season. I reckon they are both dark horses in this league.

Some massive games tonight, No time for previews but I have added my predictions.
Mr C
-
Got my score right last night Dan, I'm hoping you've picked it right again tonight!
-
I hope not ;D
-
Crikey what a crappy start. 4 of the top 5 played already. Think a draw with Lucy last night would've been fair. :(
-
Had a bit of a ruff ride last night but scraped the win, already turning out to be a very interesting league 3 points separate 4th-11th and with pretty much everyone capable of taking points of each other I reckon it will stay close as well.
Will be interesting to see if Mr C can keep up the pace with Lucy and Dave as well turn it into a 3 way title race as well!

Conference 3 First Round Results
Touchnplay 1 - 0 Ocean City Reserves
Lucys Tigers 3 - 0 Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
Poachers FC 1 - 3 Lone Rangers
Hoarse Whisperers 0 - 1 Rathpeacon
The Rumour Mill 5 - 0 FC Schwifty
Clayton Royals 4 - 1 Ruff Ryders
RKS City 1 - 2 The Rhubarb Triangle
Dynamo St Jude 0 - 6 Thanet United
First round of the Conference 3 cup and it didn't fail to disappoint! In the headline game featuring the top 2 in the division saw Lucy's Tigers eat Dave's Pigs for lunch in a resounding 3-0 victory which firmly establishes her as the favourite for the trophy.
There were two shocks as Lone Rangers & Rathpeacon won away 3-1 and 1-0 respectively against Poachers FC & Hoarse Whisperers who both finished in the top five of last years 3-1-1. Just goes to show that these two champions of their divisions are not here to make up the numbers and are looking to go far in this competition.
Touchnplay hosted Ocean City Reserves in a tough fixture with the away side the favourites after their strong start to 3-1-1 but a second half strike helped the hosts scrape a 1-0 win while Ocean City struggled to pass through the mud.
Dave's FC Schwifty have had a great start to the season and lie 6th one place ahead of opponents The Rumour Mill, however you wouldn't know that on this result as The Mill smashed 5 in without reply to send Dave's boys swiftly out of this seasons cup.
Turner's Ruff Ryders could count themselves a little unfortunate in their previous league fixture, but in today's game they faced the experience Clayton Royals who took full advantage against Turner's growing team to progress as 4-1 winners.
The Rhubarb Triangle have been flying in 3-1-2 this season with 5 wins from 5 and they took this league form into the cup beating conference 6's RKS City 2-1 away from home. This will surely give the Triangle confidence moving forward in their league campaign.
Dynamo St Jude have had a baptism of fire in 3-1-1 and are the only champions from last season to fail to progress to the next round being comfortably defeated 6-0 by Thanet United.
Conference 3 Cup 2nd Round Draw
Thanet United vs The Rumour Mill
Clayton Royals vs Lucys Tigers
Lone Rangers vs The Rhubarb Triangle
Touchnplay vs Rathpeacon
2nd round ties some more interesting draws - should be fun preview to come next week
-
Jeeeeeeeze. This has been a terrible start to the season. Gonna be out of everything by the end of week 1!!!
-
No complaints for the cup game, 30 v 30. Could've gone either way and you got the rub of the green on this one!
Nice to have a "simple" game in the league for once tonight, the big games were cropping up every day!
-
Forgot to put nice rest on for the afternoon games and it's had a big impact on some of my players, not good, especially with another tough away game at Thanet tonight. Can't see myself getting anything from this one unfortunately!

Yeah I think the home advantage swung it for me in the end, I'm sure you'll get revenge in the league
-
When's next season? :(
-
Exactly my thoughts :)
The only player I have no proper cover for gets a 12 week injury and my Left Mid goes AWOL so played today with 2 OOP 5-4-1
-
I want to fast forward ;D
My tactics are ok but my team stats are still way too far to cause damage. As soon as I have tactical disadvantage I get a goal against, I have even gotten goals against when I have the advantage in tactics which really hurts.
I will keep setting up to the best of my ability though, no gifts! ;D
-
Mixed start for our boys in the UCB. Glad I was able to put my poor league start behind me with a big win!
Good luck all C3'ers in the Elite Cup tonight. Let's get one of us in that final.

Conference 3 - Match day 7 Preview
Lucys Tigers vs Hoarse Whisperers
The Tigers host Nijinsky's Hoarse Whisperers tonight in a battle of the long serving 3-1-1 managers. Hoarse are going through a rebuilding stage and occupy the last ICC spot in the division. Lucy's Tigers have 6 wins from 6 and are 2nd on GD. I can't see past a home win here albeit a narrow one.
Prediction 1-0
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs The Rumour Mill
Top of the table host 4th in this clash. The Pigs have made a 6 wins from 6 perfect start whereas The Mill have been quietly cropping up the table and sitting nicely in 4th place. Like the above game I can only see it going one way but the away side wont make it easy and I expect them to at least score in this game.
Prediction 2-1
Poachers FC vs Clayton Royals
The home side have had a somewhat indifferent start to the season, This team was some tipsters pick to threaten the big twos reign in this league, Still plenty of time to do so and after an Elite Cup success they should be in full focus to pick up some points here. The Royals lay in 6th position and have been pretty solid this season and after scrapping a 1-1 draw last time out this game could end up the same.
Prediction 1-1
Thanet United vs Ocean City Reserves
Thanet United seem to currently be this seasons draw specialists with 4 of the 6 games ended up this way so far this campaign. The Reserves who sit in 3rd place scored a confidence boosting win last night in the Elite Cup although very lucky and should of most probably lost that game. This can go either way but I think the trend could continue for the home side.
Prediction 1-1
Touchnplay vs Saiyan Warriors
After 7pts out of a possible 9pts in their last 3 games the home side find themselves right in contention for the ICC places in 5th. The away side sit in 7th and tend to either win or lose with not one game drawn this season. I think the home side will have too much to offer.
Prediction 2-0
Atletico Methodical vs FC Schwifty - Prediction large away win!
Ruff Ryders vs Dynamo St Jude
Turner has found life in 3-1-1 difficult with his young team but with his 5pts gained after facing some big teams can build a platform for the season. They face Dynamo St Jude who were promoted along side them and now sit below them in the table. I see the home side doing the business tonight in this one.
Prediction 3-1
Padstow Town vs Barnsley Bullets - Prediction Away Win
Mr C
-
Mixed start for our boys in the UCB. Glad I was able to put my poor league start behind me with a big win!
Good luck all C3'ers in the Elite Cup tonight. Let's get one of us in that final.
Lucy won it the season before last and I was a bit unlucky to lose in last season's final. We both went out early in the following season to teams they might have expected (with respect to those opponents) to beat. Something in the match engine, I suspect, so I'm not surprised to be out and happily leave C3 representation in the hands of those who got through.
-
Shocker for C3'ers today it looks like. :(
-
disappointed to draw in FL4 but still in the promotion places hopefully I can beat Saiyan tonight if I get the 3 points then it will be a good start to the season
-
Some interesting results in the league last night!!
-
Fair play last night Contrast you outplayed me good and proper!
Makes the season more interesting again.

Just seen it’s the eagerly anticipated clash between Lucy’s Tigers and The Pigs tomorrow night.

I've gotta be honest, I've never taken so long putting tactics in place haha.
-
Awful couple of days for me glad I've got an easy fixture tonight to get me back on track
-
C3'ers not doing themselves justice in the UCB. Arguably though the three best teams in the Conference aren't playing, which doesn't help.
-

With respect to the teams competing for C3 it's maybe a chance for them to have a go at something they might not normally get to do? So not a bad thing.

Thanks Dan, yeah I've been doing much better this time around but got a tough run coming up, I'm hoping I can do enough for an ICC place. We'll have to see. You've also had an amazing start hopefully we can reel Daves Pigs in in the second half of the season

Wrong season for fishing surely?
You could always try bribery or promises of sexual favours (preferably from attractive relatives rather than any of you lot). Although that is not to say I wouldn't react with disgust to any such offers (as you probably all would) and complain. To somebody. Do we have an ethics committee (no-one from Basildon or with a speech impediment need answer this)?

Conference three has been very quiet lately.
I just said I'd point out that the conference three cup semi finals took place today.
Lucy's Tigers beat the Rumour Mill 2-1 after extra time while Rathpeacon, (me ;)) had a very narrow 1-0 win over The Rhubarb Triangle. The final takes place on Wednesday.
Until then, happy Christmas to everyone :D

When you joining us at the top table?
-
six more seasons after this one, (well assuming I get promoted every season, some of the computer teams are good :P)
-
Putting this season down as transitional. I haven't been setting up properly and it's shown.
Going 'random' with the ATs don't work - really need to spend that time researching.
-
Yeah me too, I went way to hard on the Private Leagues in late November/ early December and it just drained me so last week I lost a bit of interest and needed a break especially after my awful start to FL4.
Congrats for getting into the cup final Cove I'm glad that a non 3-1-1 member got there as it's great to see we have teams in the lower division capable of competing.
I thought I would be coming back in the relegation zone so to see I'm 9th isn't too bad. Still got a shot at the ICC which was my main aim this time around.
-
I think i'm just going to fall short in catching Lucy and Dave this season!
-
I reckon it can be done Dan remember your second half of the season last time out.
I feel like I've got a top 8 position in my grasp now so hopefully I can push up the league finishing 4th-6th would be great progress from 9th last year then next season Finish top 3
-
Well done to Lucy's Tigers on winning the conference 3 cup today. That 1-8-1 formations is hard to score against, not to mind beat :(
Congratulations and good luck for the rest of the season.
-
Congratulations Lucy had a tough run so thoroughly deserved the win. Also the formations that you pull off so well is amazing.
Well done Cove as well a great cup run was nearly stuff of fairy tales I'm sure you will be back next year representing the lower divisions.
-
Thanks Joe,
looking forward to it already :D

Join 3-1-1 Eamon!!

I'll join you shortly. just seven more promotions needed if i can continue to beat these computer teams, some of them are really tough :D
-
That’s my slim title chance well and truly gone now!
Well played Contrast 60-0 on Tactics perhaps should’ve been more than the 1-0 scoreline!
You done the double over me this season and I didnt score against you, no complaints!
Let’s hope your passion for the game comes back sometime soon as C3 will be more competitive next season if you do.
Mr C
-
5 points between 3rd and 8th now it's going to be such a close run for those champions league spots

Focus firmly on next season. Games like that are a good reminder that the only thing stopping the team being competitive is me.
Going to experiment for the rest of this, like I did last night using wings and moulded. Be interesting to see.
-
5th to 8th all on 45 points, massive game tonight for me against Dan. A win for me and like cycling the peloton will start drawing him in to the melee
-
Also good luck to The Rumour Mill hope you bring the ICC back to Conference 3
-
I'm conceding. I can't think of anyone on SL that I like better than Lucy so I'm pleased for her and she has obviously been very, very clever --- But it takes me back to my oldest complaint in that I reckon a football game that does not pay homage to "proper" football is not a game at all and, in the "real"world, any team playing 1-8-1 would always come unstuck against any opponent playing two or more strikers.
And if tactics alone could change the current circumstances around that'd be even more daft.
What to do I ask myself. Little point carrying on like this and her squad looks set to dominate C3 (and maybe more) for a good while (maybe losing the odd game if she loses both strikers --- but then she can easily take care of that possible flaw). Can't go to C8 because my dear wifey is in that, jump to a conference where there are spaces (but I am gonna do some rebuilding so doubts in my mind) or join another conference in a lower division and work my way up as my new squad gels.
Ideally I'd save a lot of grief by just quitting altogether and taking up a properly dull past-time but I don't think I'm emotionally right for that just now. So what to do, what to do, what to do???
-
You find a way of beating 1-8-1 🤓
It's a great formation to train as they are all midfielders and kudos to Lucy for trying it out.
I'm rebuilding with a 4-1-4-1 but still a bit weak at the moment.

Dave you have the the team to win an x-1-1 easily, my aim is to win this league next year. Lucy. Is amazing but but not unbeatable stay with it mate

Well done Chris on his first ICC !

Absolutely no way am I criticising you Lucy --- what you have done is clever and didn't happen overnight but (apart from feelings that SL should be more like the real game), I can't see how to stop you. From your last defeats (in the CS and league against Borg and Schwitty when you played 3-6-1) you've gone 29 without losing (just one draw in a friendly) playing 1-8-1 (including reversing the Borg defeat by knocking him out of the Elite cup). Last night you went back to 3-6-1 to draw with Schwitty (who beat you earlier in the season in both league and Friendly matches --- Is it me or do most teams seem to have a bogey team each year?) but your squad looks well capable of carrying on with 1-8-1 while others (including me), would have to do a lot of re-building in circumstances where everyone will be after MFs.
And if the new system suddenly decides it doesn't like 1-8-1 (as it did with 3-5-2 and maybe has with 2-5-3) that could leave a lot of managers with wasted efforts.
So my squad is a decent one (although, before the break I was topping the league and since we re-started my form has been pretty poor) and it is just coming up to needing-tinkering-time --- but I tried most things against your 3-6-1 over the last couple of seasons and struggled and the 1-8-1 looks even tougher so I am somewhat flummoxed. Poor me ;-)
So if I mention quitting, I don't mean quitting SL, I mean quitting C3, at least until such time as someone can work out how to deal with 1-8-1, or a law is passed banning Lucy (in particular) from being cruel to people (IE me) :-)
And, as a C3 manager, I shall most certainly be supporting the Tigers in their quest to win another Elite Cup (and hoping the match engine doesn't try any "balancing up" tricks).
-
Well done Chris on the ICC great to have a major coming back to our conference !!!
-
Thanks Nijinsky and Joe.
Thats my first major title in about 8 years and i now have won every major competition, just shows that perseverance pays off.
Won a few Friendly league divisions and World Cup Groups recently but nothing as good as my 1st ICC.
Shame Winter Milan didn't set up. Hopefully its not another 8 years till my next big win.
-
Well done them boys at the Rumour Mill.
I'm taking a break until next season. Think I've done enough to stay up.
See ya'll next season.
-
And if the new system suddenly decides it doesn't like 1-8-1 (as it did with 3-5-2 and maybe has with 2-5-3) that could leave a lot of managers with wasted efforts.
I think 2-5-3 is still going strong throughout the server. I have solely used it in 4-1-1 and thats currently got me 2nd with still a chance of winning the division.
It can give you great wins or a thrashing or two its very inconsistent sometimes.
I think it works better with longball rather than passing but have had some crucial goals go my way when switching to 2-5-3 Use Wings.
I used it for a long time this season in 3-1-1 but noticed I had a very strong Centre Defender - Non Anyside who was just rotting in the reserves.
I have since switch to 5-2-3 in all weathers and it seems to be low scoring as I expected and bringing me a lot of draws.
I have made a 3rd team currently in 1-1-2 which I have picked to soley use 3-6-1 so I am giving that an go to investigate how effective it might be long term, as we know Lucy has mastered this.
Do formations really matter if you look at it closely?
Team strength is a massive factor on this game, there are several games between the big teams I have seen this season in some knockout cups that one team has been countered 45-0 or 60-15 and won because of its team strength.
I sometimes look closely into the random goals in the KO cups and do wonder what factors in the match engine triggers it to give the goal to that team in that match.

I agree. Also for myself I believe the 100% gelling I had most of the time plays a part in results. In my option no formation alone is a guarantee of winning.
Cheers and best of luck to everyone,
Lucy
-
Gelling is obviously very important and we've seen some weakish teams from lower leagues reach cup finals simply through being able to turn the same team out every match. Avoiding injury helps but so does having 12 MFs (and the right kind of 12) as Lucy has.
And, regarding team stats, defenders will usually be quite low on shooting (and maybe a couple of other skills) while strikers will be down in tackling stats and, mostly, good in one and bad in another when it comes to heading and pace. MFs, though, can generally reach 99 in every skill but tackling so a heavy preponderance of MFs means naturally higher stats.
But a great ICC win for Chris --- you can, as they say, only beat what's put in front of you and reaching a final requires a lot in itself and Lucy is only two wins from a 2nd Elite cup in 3 years (I think?). Fingers crossed for her.
-
Ahhh that draw with Chris last night has probably put an end to any chance I had of making the champions league places. Really enjoyed the second half of the season been a great battle between 4th and 8th.
As for the tactics I definitely agree player strength is paramount for success but then you look at Dave and nijinsky who dont play friendlies or are rebuilding and are performing really well, so there is hope for everyone

Slightly confused by that? :)

Haha i was referring to Dave who manages FC Schwifty

im confused by it too... just the fact im performing well lol
Gotta secure that ICC spot!

I thought I'd been up to something (or rather NOT up to something) and hadn't noticed. :D
The bogey team thing is worth discussing IMO. It's something that's irked me for some time now in that, even when maintaining a top three position, I always seem to lose twice (or lose and draw) against one mid-table team. A draw and two wins against Lucy this season is a good effort for Scwifty, a team/squad that is not, with respect, comparable in strength to hers. I'm gonna suggest that next season she will win all encounters between the two. Possibly easily. Which if all things remained equal, shouldn't really happen.
-
Hmmm I think you might be looking into it too much Dave if you go through the managers in our division you've got lucy, 3 teams in fl1 yourself nijinsky and Chris, Dan fl5 winners second in c4, Brian top manager promotion from fl3, Dave top 2 in fl1 in the top 2 of c1 and c2, I can cause an upset on my day, then rich who is a great manager as well. There's no easy games really and anyone can take points of each other on the day

If we are discussing the seasonal "bogey" team theory then maybe you are in denial? I have at least been looking at this for a few seasons before coming up with these thoughts? But maybe you are correct. So I'll do what I said and wait until Lucy's games against Swifty next season before passing any more comment on that (unless anyone else wishes to report any anomalies --- although it would only be in C3 for now since the thread is for C3 managers). It never hurts, though, to keep trying to learn what makes this game tick? ;-)

Couple seasons ago Lucy only lost 2 games, both against me, both 3-0. Thought it was weird at the time, more weird now we can't get close to her!

The Imps rarely lose matches in Majors and, even more rarely lose by more than one goal. In fact only once this season, to me, in the ICC, 0-3. I just wish I'd been in something long enough where I could have played him again to test my theory ;)

Its not something I've considered but maybe you are right Dave, I was just looking at the managers and thinking everyone knows the game so can set up to beat teams. I'll also pay attention next season.

If we are discussing the seasonal "bogey" team theory then maybe you are in denial? I have at least been looking at this for a few seasons before coming up with these thoughts? But maybe you are correct. So I'll do what I said and wait until Lucy's games against Swifty next season before passing any more comment on that (unless anyone else wishes to report any anomalies --- although it would only be in C3 for now since the thread is for C3 managers). It never hurts, though, to keep trying to learn what makes this game tick? ;-)
Its not something I've considered but maybe you are right Dave, I was just looking at the managers and thinking everyone knows the game so can set up to beat teams. I'll also pay attention next season.
My suspicion is that there is one of the "invisible" factors built in to encourage the idea that "anyone can beat anyone" which leads to teams at the top losing to mid-table teams (even if they comfortably handle the teams at the top with them).

Massive result for me last night, a draw against Clayton tonight and with a computer team to play I can lock down an ICC place for next season
-
Congratulations Lucy on another title well deserved yet again you won it at a canter in the end! Also congrats on the league and cup double.
Got the win against Clayton last night so have settled the ICC places (delighted to get into that top 8) but with 2 games to go 4-8 is still to be decided I've got Lucy tomorrow which most likely will end my chances of finishing higher than 8th but Dave and Chris are playing each other which could open the door for Nijinsky
-
Congratulations Lucy.
Just couldn't keep up with the pace.
Well played.
-
Thanks guys. This has been bittersweet. I hope you make it tough for my Tigers next season. You're both good sports.🙂
Cheers,
Lucy
-
Totally deserved, no dodgy computer results so well done Lucy :D
Shame about the Elite Cup :( --- maybe if I grovelled you'd tell me why you went with 3-6-1 instead of 1-8-1? I'm always keen on learning ;) but if not, I'm sure you had your reasons.
Roll on next season. I've no idea if my new system will work well enough to challenge in its first season (probably unlikely) but if not I'll be able to sit back and watch the others suffer trying to catch the Tigers.
-
No mystery Dave. I didn't have the needed players available for 1-8-1 for the cup game.
-
Wow did not expect that result last night but up to 7th now and if clayton and poachers and do me a favour tonight may still up ending 5th so hopefully they pull it out of the bag
More importantly I reckon I've probably done enough for an Elite Cup place now and only losing once in the second half of the season bodes well for next seasons campaign! :)
In other news going to run the conference 3 cup again next season, it was a great success last season with the lower league teams all springing surprises so expect the same thing to happen again next season
-
Well done Lucy 🙂
-
Way to go Joe! 😀 That really made my team look shabby!😀 I hope touchnplay can make it to 4th place.
Fingers crossed,
Lucy
-
All done and dusted before the final games due to GD (and Lucy being too good :)) ;D. Is that good (less tension) or bad (less tension)? ;D
-
5-0 Win :o
Finished 3rd on GOALS SCORED of all things :o
Shame but I'll take that.
Got me an Elite Cup place on the final day.
-
Nijinsky gets the final champions league spot congratulations. How did everyone think their seasons went?
-
Crap.
I gave up during the Christmas break and been trying to learn about the game. There must be more to it than I thought, was my conclusion. I have a good team, good enough to challenge yet I was falling short on all fronts.
I've sat back, experimented, and learnt. Next season I'll be going for the title. Sounds brash considering where I finished and the season I've had - but meh. Better to fail aiming high.
-
Yeah I expected you to be much higher up the league Rich.
My season was very indifferent started off with a 4-0 loss to Poachers with low gelling which I was pretty pissed off about then lost to Dave's Pigs 3-1 who wore wrong boots but then went on a pretty good run and was 4/5th in the league after 12 games. This is when the additional private leagues run up to Christmas took it's toll and I lost a bit of interest which resulted in some key defeats.
The Rumour Mill 2 - 1 Touchnplay
Hoarse Whisperers 2 - 0 Touchnplay
Clayton Royals 10 - 1 Touchnplay
Lucys Tigers 11 - 7 Touchnplay
Then after Christmas got back into it cut down the private leagues and really went on a good run both in the League and FL. Another key defeat to Thanet 0-3 after making an incorrect sub was a blow.
But finished the season really strongly and ended up 7th with an ICC and Elite Cup place both of which I've never done before so that is major progress from a 9th place finish last season. Also won the Beer Garden Cup my first PL win and got on the deck in Master and Commander so real progress on that front as well.
Also finally found a replacement striker last night for 500 credits!!!
Overall, a bit like you Rich if I can keep active for the full 47 days I want to be aiming for that title as well minimum top 4 next season. "It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low. And we have set our sights very high, so high in fact that even failure will have in it an echo of glory."
I'm setting the C3 cup today hope everyone is up for it again next season.
Roll on next season be good to hear what others thought of their performance :)
-
Thank you to everyone who congratulated me. I should have a word here about how I decided to test 1-8-1. I'm not a manager with deep pockets. The squad is cheap to fill and I remember a team named Sporting Caravan had played it. The formation turns out to be one for a gambler since injuries don't have the usual amount of replacements to draw from. I never expected to be winning with it. Setting up games is tricky and never boring for me. If I'd had the credits beforehand, though, I'd be setting up as I had for so many, many years. I'm looking forward to getting whatever I deserve next season. 🙂

5-0 Win :o
Finished 3rd on GOALS SCORED of all things :o
Shame but I'll take that.
Got me an Elite Cup place on the final day.
An interesting match. I wasn't overly bothered because, as said, the GD thing made it moot for me but, to be fair to others, i did team and tactics and ATs. Was a bit lazy with the early tactics and paid a price (even if losing TWO early goals was maybe a bit harsh), I could see why. But to then go to Defence against CA and then lose another goal --- well that makes a bit of a mockery of the game? From 1-2, I could have made a comeback. Is it explainable? The only other last-day weird one was Aston Villains losing their top spot in the last match in C7 due to having tactical advantage for the whole of the first half but not managing a single goal. If that were me, I'd be spitting fire (75 minutes of tactical advantage apparently --- but his complaint is very English ---- more feathers than fire). I'd agree with him though.
-
Just had a quick look at the weird game last night Dave. Did you bring the mid r and str c on in the others positions? They both have substantially lower ratings than the others. Would maybe explain the massive defeat otherwise it's just a strange one.
I should introduce myself. I'm in the lower leagues of conference 3 with king Kennys army, used to play many years ago and I've returned for another go.
Cheers
Ryan

Thanks for bothering Ryan (and it's always nice to see an ex-manager return). I expect you are very, very old now --- but that only means you should fit in nicely now. ;) ;) ;)
Players involved in substitutions always have lower scores because they haven't completed 90 mins.
I have seen a lot of odd last day results over the years for myself and others, from which I have both gained and lost out. As it happens, from my POV, it didn't hurt me this time. Just.
But considering I had only lost one league game by 3 goals in the whole of the rest of the season and that was to Lucy after a softy Ref like Michael McLintock (with a 0.1 Red card per game ratio) sent off two of my players when I was only playing Normal --- losing by 5 to a team with whom I'd drawn 1-1 in the first league meeting and beaten 2-0 in our only PL meeting seemed --- odd. No offence intended to Mr C (who will probably be flat out next season to prove it was no fluke :-)).
-
Looked at the match report from last night a couple of times now but just noticed you was playing in the wrong boots (Blades on Soft Pitch), that may of had some significant impact on the result as well as the TA I had and the 2 players out of position. Based on the ratings its looks like the Right Mid came on as a Striker Centre and the Striker played in Right Midfield.
Or am I looking at this wrong as Players subbed on at KO or 15 generally have higher ratings than your 2 did.
Cheers

I have my doubts but then again I have to accept the possibility. Things were going well before the break (very well) then those same things changed (and I have no idea why) and could do nothing about them, which is when I started to accept my season was over and, towards the end, really wasn't bothering too much. So maybe I did make a mistake with the ATs. It's all done and dusted now though, I'm happy for Lucy and am looking at my team not quite sure where it will be going next season :)
As for boots, I messed about with them all season and the messing never seemed to make too much difference as my pre-break form showed (I think you even had a moan at me early on for beating you while wearing the "wrong" boots so .....??). I'll probably go back to accepted ideas for next season --- one less thing to worry about ;)

Yes. You could wait until the first day of the new season just in case a team moves out of 311 or a team turns into a computer team. Highly unlikely I know,but who knows what may happen. ;) 8)

Joe has done us all a favour on the opening day! Going to enjoy being above the Tigers whilst I can! ;D

I'll take that all day long, could have even nicked it at the end, anyway toughest fixture of the season out of the way with! Next up Ocean City Reserves tonight hopefully can get out of that without defeat as well.
Rich going to need to you to pull it out of the bag today I have never beaten the Borg so need you to get us the points!

I agree tonight is a massive game. I have DVG vs OCO as well in 4-1-1 so these big games come thick and fast!

Gambled with my tactics and it backfired massively! Big learning curve yesterday and last night which will stand me in good stead for the rest of the season.
Well played Dan good win for you.

It is a big game at this stage of the season. I think Eamonn will be the favourite going into the match and to be honest I would be happy to avoid defeat. Let’s wait and see...I’m sure it will be a close encounter!

Good luck Jimbo, my team is in transition at the moment so you'll have every chance.

This must be how Leicester City felt. ;D Hahaha

You won the tactical battle. Going to have to work hard if I'm to over take you next time we meet ;)

Cheers Eamonn - it was very close and could have been 0-0.
The league is very tight and goal difference could be worth an extra point come the end of the season. We both still have Saiyan Warriors to play. Some of the teams in the playoffs are capable of causing an upset so it will be interesting to see how the league pans out.

Although I won, I managed to get 2 injuries in the first half which wasn't a disaster but getting 2 players sent off after 73 minutes for stealing was extremely random! :-\

You're in a very good position now Jim. Saiyan and me both need to beat you in the second half of the season, otherwise, you'll win the title. :D

Three points separating the top 5 in 3-1-1. Crazy stuff.

I agree. Very interesting season. Too hard to call at this stage.
I remember 5-1-1 was like this most of last season, everyone can take points of each other which makes each game crucial.

Got to pissed after Spurs Juve and forgot to set up, shame really I was on a good run and was hoping to sneak up on you all got home games against everyone challenging apart from rich second half of the season so expecting to take a few points off you all ;D

Why do it the easy way. Lynne and I just finished a 9 hour Babylon 5 binge. Then we were trying to set up our teams and got the giggles. It'll be fine, we've been doing this a long long time. Surely :) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Luckily no damage done to my team last night, but what a cheap way to try and derail someone's season. Expected more class from the Conference's Queen.
Still, now that unwritten rule has been broken between the two teams, bring on next seasons games. :-*
-
Going from Nutter To Psycho so late is a desperation move that hardly ever pays dividends. I would have thought Lucy would know that even if you didn't. After the 75 minute change --- No injuries, no cards, no penalties, no goals. In general the use of Psycho is avoided by anyone who is not a newbie because A] As a hail Mary it is usually useless and can actually end with the team switching just earning a red card and B] The possibility of everyone in the division, knowing a manager was going down that road, likely trying to get the first strike in --- with that being possibly as many as 15 other teams trying to damage your players (and that would make a mess of any squad). As it is, with your statement, if you and she don't make-up, the rest of us can look forward to seeing how badly it will affect both your chances next season (and hopefully and happily benefitting from it).
-
Shame you only got a 1-1 draw last night Contrast after losing 45-15min on TA.
As we all know this game swings in roundabouts where things go for and against us all.
Safe to say I probably had that this season, unsure how you didn't get any injuries though last night, I would of got about 3-4 the way my 2 teams have been going this season.
2 Points now. Makes our game next week very important if it stays this way!!
Onto tonight and I won't have a walk in the park vs Nijinsky...
-
Interesting points about the use of Psycho. We don't have any such unwritten rule in Conf 4 as far as I know. Several of the very best managers ( Floriana, and Borg when he was in Conf 4 ) have used it against me to good effect. I've also been kicked off the pitch more than once this season through not using it although I hope I have learned my lesson now. Its all part of the game for me so I hope nobody would take offence if i come out fighting in a cup match. It does depend on the referee of course ( and the forum strategy guide isn't perfectly accurate in that respect) and something else which I haven't been able to pin down yet. I do agree that the team using the higher aggression can sometimes get more injuries themselves so its not just a question of risking a red card.
PS looking at the match report: The Tigers didn't use it just a s a last minute hail mary. They switched to Psycho at K/O and alternated levels of agression during the game: which is a well thought out strategy rather than a desperation measure. :)
I agree its bad if a team that isn't in contention for anything suddenly uses psycho against the teams that are...and I think we have had instances in our league of teams that have been planted just to injure others.. but in a vital match between competitive teams I would say its a valid tactic.

Problem I have is that it was utilised straight from Kick-Off and then again at the end. It was in use for half the match. I've done my homework on everyone this season, and believe she had only used it as a tactic for 5 minutes in the entirety of the season up to this point.
Just think it's a bit of a cruel attempt to sabotage a side who in all honestly won't have another chance at the title. Like I said, given the right circumstances next season I'll protect my team by fighting fire with fire, and with that crazy formation, injuries will hurt her more than me.
-
I probably got my point a bit wrong. I would say that while you are concerned with having your team nobbled, Lucy might have had other concerns? To cripple your team she could have played Psycho for the full 90 mins? My guess would be she was more concerned that losing would effectively end her chances of retaining the title (and even drawing would severely damage them).
You have already said that this might be your only chance of the title (a chance that wasn't damaged by her actions) but if you go out next season looking for some sort of revenge (with no gain for your team) you'd probably lose respect (if you care) and it'd all end with you still feeling a bit unhappy.
If you scrape a possibly undeserved draw and suffer no damage to your team then maybe you should smile, be grateful and carry on, crying only when you are hurt. Some while ago I had a team that was near peak in most positions and winning the league and heading (I reckon) for that title and at least one major cup, when some newbie clown decided, just because I was top of the table to go Psycho for the full 90. He had four players Red carded and one badly injured but I had five serious injuries (6 weeks or more, my best striker out for 12) and title wins I absolutely deserved slipped away from me.
But what can you do? So far as SL is concerned I have no pram or toys, just the next season. And if I'm really angry I can always go out and pick a fight with a child or a blind person (preferably small and female in either case).
-
If I lose respect for doing it next season, then why hasn't Lucy for doing it this?
Anyone else and you'd be on my side on this, you know that Dave. I get that you're good friends, but don't defend the indefensible.
As for not deserving the draw, I'm obviously reading the game differently to most - TA only plays part of the role, not as much as a lot of people make out. Aggression, style and formation I beat her on, we matched each other on the other aspects. I'm not thinking 'that was lucky!' - I should have won the match. But I guess everyone's interpretation is different.
-
Massive Massive chance missed last night. Nijinsky played me off the park tactically.
I still think though that the fixture list may be in my favour.
In the final 7 games I have got to play 5 teams currently in 10th or below.
I do however have Poachers and Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs still to play in the middle of that and notice Poachers play 2nd Place The Rumour Mill tomorrow.
A lot of twists and turns to go.
-
Bloody hell I beat Dave's Schwifty away in the league for the first time in ages! Good result that ICC back on the cards!
Gutted I'm not in the title race it's so tight at the top looks like a lot of fun. Chris' Rumour Mill quietly going about there business might fly under the radar !
-
You took your chances Joe, cant complain at all about that, conference 3s top half are all daunting seasoned veterans itll be a hard nut to crack.
Im going to try and stick around with Schwifty but 3 teams is proving to be quite difficult to manage now im a bit busier in the real world so if anyone would like to take them off me as a 2nd or "test" team then by all means let me know through here or via the in-game messager :)
-
The 3-1-2 title race is hotting up. Great win over me last night Eamonn. Me, you and Saiyan look certain for automatic promotion to 3-1-1 next season. Will be a close finish!

You took your chances Joe, cant complain at all about that, conference 3s top half are all daunting seasoned veterans itll be a hard nut to crack.
Im going to try and stick around with Schwifty but 3 teams is proving to be quite difficult to manage now im a bit busier in the real world so if anyone would like to take them off me as a 2nd or "test" team then by all means let me know through here or via the in-game messager :)
Yeah definitely got a very strong conference, but I feel I've underperformed with the squad I have at my disposal for the last 2 seasons.
Shame you are thinking of dropping Schwifty next season, with the teams coming up is it going to be one hell of a league, it would definitely be worth sticking around for that!

Going from Nutter To Psycho so late is a desperation move that hardly ever pays dividends. I would have thought Lucy would know that even if you didn't. After the 75 minute change --- No injuries, no cards, no penalties, no goals. In general the use of Psycho is avoided by anyone who is not a newbie because A] As a hail Mary it is usually useless and can actually end with the team switching just earning a red card and B] The possibility of everyone in the division, knowing a manager was going down that road, likely trying to get the first strike in --- with that being possibly as many as 15 other teams trying to damage your players (and that would make a mess of any squad). As it is, with your statement, if you and she don't make-up, the rest of us can look forward to seeing how badly it will affect both your chances next season (and hopefully and happily benefitting from it).
Problem I have is that it was utilised straight from Kick-Off and then again at the end. It was in use for half the match. I've done my homework on everyone this season, and believe she had only used it as a tactic for 5 minutes in the entirety of the season up to this point.
Just think it's a bit of a cruel attempt to sabotage a side who in all honestly won't have another chance at the title. Like I said, given the right circumstances next season I'll protect my team by fighting fire with fire, and with that crazy formation, injuries will hurt her more than me.
Absolutely disgraceful comments. Can't believe someone would make threats like this, sounds very much like sour grapes from Contrast.

The 3-1-2 title race is hotting up. Great win over me last night Eamonn. Me, you and Saiyan look certain for automatic promotion to 3-1-1 next season. Will be a close finish!

Thanks Jimbo, I'm glad I did my bit to make the title race interesting for the next few days. Saiyan has to play both you and me still so it could go either way from here.
What is certain is that all three of us will be promoted and maybe we can all look forward to playing pyscho against Contrast next season ;D

Yeah, threatening to do it is hardly as bad as doing it!! I can't grasp the double standards here.
-
Let's recap.
- Lucy plays physco against me for half the match.
- That's okay, it's part of the game.
- I will safeguard against my team by playing the same tactics next season, that's disgraceful.
As long as I know where we stand. Unbelievable.

Looking at Cecil's stats for red cards I would like to think Lucy was trying to gain a tactical advantage on aggression rather than take your team out Rich
I see why you would feel aggrieved though

3-1-2 shaping up nicely. Next year's 3-1-1 is going to be immense. Best conference for strength in depth by miles. I want in!!

Nicely put Eamonn. You have certainly made things interesting in 3-1-2. Saiyan has a tough task but could come out on top, that's what I like about this season - very unpredictable!
Yes, I agree. Haha, one thing I'm not afraid to do is to use the features the game allows you select - it's all part of the game and I don't mind ruffling some feathers ;D

You should definitely jump up to at least 3-1-2 next season Ryan, maybe even 3-1-1 as you could mix it in there. It will be incredibly tough that's for sure. My aim will be to avoid relegation!

Your comments here are much worse than what Lucy did, much much worse. There are no double standards. Your comments are shameful, Lucy played pyscho for of one match, that hardly justifies all of these threats.

Please explain how? I'm serious. I can't understand how I'm in the wrong.
I can assure you I've made no threats. I've said that if the circumstances dictate (referee, conditions), I'll play physco against her team next year. If as a conference we are all happy to get rid of the unwritten rule, then let's do it. I'm happy to abandon it against you, if you are happy to make that agreement?

This seems like a threat to me.

By protecting my team?! It's also a fact that injuries will damage her squad more than mine. She will admit that first.
Are you a millennial by any chance?! ???

Conference 3 rules
-
Luckily no damage done to my team last night, but what a cheap way to try and derail someone's season. Expected more class from the Conference's Queen.
Still, now that unwritten rule has been broken between the two teams, bring on next seasons games. :-*
Is this written in jest?

Someone help me out here. What's this guy on about?! ???

May I ask what is this unwritten rule you guys are on about?
I didn't know anything about this...?
BTW - The ref (Cecil) in the Poacher v Lucy's game
I would personally ALWAYS play Nutter.
Next Sunday's big game Rich - Just checked the Ref and it's Butch so shame I can't use Psycho on you for the full 90 and get away with it 8)

Unwritten rule for as long as I can remember is that nobody plays Psycho against each other in the 3am matches. I can assure you, I won't play it against anyone that hasn't used it against me.
Of course you play Nutter with Cecil, nobody is doubting what the motive was not to haha.

Maybe Lucy will have her say on the matter at some stage.
Anyway... Close at the top, who is going to win this C3 Title then guys?

I didn't know about that unwritten rule. I wasn't purposely trying to damage Rich's team. I just wanted to win too.I have no idea why he thought I'd be out to get him. It never entered my mind. I'm glad this didn't hurt our teams.
-
I think he might be a bit tense. Being at the top with such a slender lead and two draws on the trot can easily make for a squeaky sphincter. :) Plus, being a black cab driver in London must have been even more annoying recently with the Ubers and mini-cabs etc. What's your excuse for last night though? When I do something like that (and I've already done the same thing twice this season costing me a 0-5 v Clayton Royals and a 0-7 v the Donks in FL1, it's usually because my mind is elsewhere.
-
sounds like the pressure is just getting too much for Poachers, hope he doesn't do a Kevin Keegan on it ;D
-
Ryan is taking over the reins on FC Schwifty as of tonight guys, i just dont have the time for 3 teams and didnt want to see them die.
Farewell and Good luck to all in Conference 3... but a tad more to Ryan ;)

Massive win for Rich last night under pressure. Sign of a champion perhaps?
Also Dan 'the Invincibles' you must know it'll only be downhill from here :P

Jimbo, I hope you dont mind if I support Saiyan tonight? :D

A big game indeed! Saiyan must win to keep his title hopes alive. If we draw it would make the last 5 games of the season really interesting as it could be that the title is decided on goal difference.
Your welcome to support Saiyan tonight Eamonn and I will do the same when he plays you soon ;)
-
We better be careful Jim, if Saiyan beats both of us, then neither you nor me will win the league :-)
-
Massive win for Rich last night under pressure. Sign of a champion perhaps?
Also Dan 'the Invincibles' you must know it'll only be downhill from here :P
Need to pull out all the stops to win the title from this position and have to get a decent result on Sunday vs Poachers otherwise it’s too late.
-
Beautiful bit of Irony that, Dan :)
-
My say on the Psycho bit ?
It's a valid tactic although I don't use it myself.
Playing psycho with intent e.g with a non psycho ref isn't playing ball. but sometimes increased aggression can lead to wins.Usually leads to injuries to your own players though.
I've been through it with second teams trying to injure me whilst I've been up there challenging for the majors ( Non currently in our division I must say) and it has worked. May not have cost me the game but the injuries kicked in after and cost me points.
Nice to see to see the increased competition in the division but lets keep it friendly :)
P.s I had to set up on Friday for all my weekend/Monday games due to my now frequent visits to Wembley... It paid off with some great results. Guess I'm too predictable when I set up daily !
-
Great win last night Jimbo, the title is yours now, well done.
I've enjoyed the season and am looking forward to us all competing at the top of 3-1-1 next season.

Thank you Eamonn :)
I wasn't expecting to win, let alone a 5-0 victory! I hope you get 2nd spot so you get the runners up added to your team's history 8)
It has been an enjoyable season and 3-1-1 will be a new challenge but one that we will all embrace I'm sure. My aim will be to avoid relegation, anything above that will be a bonus!
Jimbo.
-
Jimbo, you've got a good team and challenge the bigger players. if Poachers can lead 3-1-1, then I know you've got a great chance ;D
-

Haha, Eamonn stirring the pot
-
Not just stirring the pot, I'm shitting in the pot ;D
-
Not just stirring the pot, I'm shitting in the pot ;D
And you're eating out of it!
Imagine being so sad you want to wind people up over the internet. That's cute, isn't it?
Lucy and myself are cool.
-
well I'm enjoying winding you up, it's so easy and great fun ;D
-
Poachers v Rathpeacon is the game to look out for in 3-1-1 next season then!
-
well I'm enjoying winding you up, it's so easy and great fun ;D
Not wound up at all. You're the one posting that I'm disgraceful and disgusting.
Nobody has been more wound up than you, you little weirdo!!
Unless you don't want me to post those Pm's!! Haha
-
"Please don't play psycho. it was just a joke. Hope you win the title!"
Come off it you little freak.

Thanks Eamonn, your team’s pretty good too! I’m not sure I’m challenging the bigger teams but if I can cause a few upsets along the way that would be nice. Poachers is the team to beat! 3-1-1 will be very strong next season and probably really unpredictable at times. Looking forward to it though! :)
-
Found the ignore function, finally!
Big week coming up in Conference 3. Can't believe I got through a week of Dave, Lucy and Chris unbeaten!
Some great games coming up for everyone in the title race this week. Starting with Poachers vs Invincibles tomorrow.
I've got a feeling any success I have will have to come from a helping hand from my fellow Yiddo and doubles partner, Joe! I believe in you mate haha.
-
Best of luck to you Rich, you deserve the success.
-
I've taken a look at the last 4 games of the season and predict the following top 3.
1st - Poachers FC (69pts)
2nd - The Rumour Mill (69pts)
3rd - The Invincibles (68pts)
So rich to win it on Goal Difference IMO.
Probably be totally wrong!
-
It's a great end to a great season, good luck to everyone
-
Fair play Mr C, a minor SL lesson for me last night!
Luckily I've got my free pass tonight as Chris and yourself have tough games!
2 points seperate has the top 3 with three to go, what a season.
-
Glad to get that result and be in the title hunt with only 3 games remaining.
My 2 x 0-1 defeats to Nijinsky and Attack Attack Reserve hit me hard last week and may have cost me dear!
Tonight for me is the biggest game so far, if I lose - assuming Chris wins and you will of course be victorious against the CPU that would leave me in 3rd, 5pts from top spot and 4pts away from 2nd also only on goal difference to 4th if Nijinsky overcomes Lucy all that with only 2 games left so that would put me out of the title race IMO.
A lot of permutations over these last few days, I am hoping for a favour from Joe tonight as I bet you are too!
Current Goal Difference
The Rumour Mill + 61
Poachers FC +65
The Invincibles +70
You should easily over take in the goals difference column as you never know we could all end up on the same points!
I haven't really had the best record against davef over my time on SL either!! eek!
Who knows what's in store next in 3-1-1!
-
For those not paying attention I decided to start rebuilding weeks ago and that pretty much left me there for the taking. :)
Six new players so far (with which I am very happy) and maybe two more to get --- so next season might be a bit of a rest one.
Best of luck in the the final battles folks ;)

Top three all win again! Can't we just share the title?!? Haha. What a season.
Yeah, I've started 'phase 2' of my team build too, Dave. Hoping the way I've done it I'll be able to stay competitive. Quite pleased with my 5 new first seasoners.
-
Glad I got the result to stay in the title hunt.
Shame my main central striker got a broken leg :(
Hopefully that won’t effect my slim chance much 8)
Massive game for Chris tomorrow v Lucys!
-
The title is down to me. I play Invincibles and Poachers in last 2 games. I feel so important 😂😂😂
-
Don't forget to play psycho ;D
-
Don't forget to play psycho ;D
Hahaha. I experimented with psycho in midday games. Causes more injuries to me than them. Won't be using it again.
-
Wow! What a way for Chris to wrap up the title! He'll win tonight no doubt!
-
Nice easy way to win the title tonight for Chris!
Surprised I took it to the last day.
All I need tonight is both of you to draw which isn't to much to ask
8)
-
Well done Chris, assuming you win tonight of course but you have been the best team in the division and deserve the title. Looking forward to trying to steal it from you next season
-
Congrats Chris!
Next season is going to be even closer as we get rid of some of the weak teams and replacing them with even more strength!!
-
Congratulations Chris 8)
I'm really looking forward to joining 3-1-1 next season and the challenge of playing top teams in every fixture!
Jimbo.
-
Well played Chris.
Was nice to pip rich to 2nd 8)
I do look back on those 2 loses that cost me.
Next season I’ll be stronger but so will everyone else!
-
Well done Chris.
Next year will be tough !
-
Well done Jimbo, you led 3-1-2 for most of the season and were the best team. I drew you in the beer cup quarter final so I'll try and beat you in that one :-)
Well done Chris and also to Cobra. You were the best two teams in 3-1-1 this season. Looking forward to playing you both next season.
-
Just noticed the champions league win. Congrats Cobra. Beating Floriana this year hasn't been easy!

Thats my 1st league title for about 6 years so really pleased to win considering the level of competition. This coupled with a run in the top league of the friendly league and winning the ICC last season shows persistance pays off.
Hopefully I can contend for the title next season but im just going to enjoy these next few days and hope for a good run in the champs shield.
-
Congrats on the title Chris,
Sorry about the lack of logging in this season I really enjoy the game but have just started a new job and have been quite ill last week coupled with the fact i dont have a computer at home at the moment.
Ultimately I've got to consider whether or not to give my space up in the division in the next 2 days i know on my day I can beat anyone but playing in fits and spurts like I have been doing isnt fair on you top managers luckily this season it had no bearing on the title.
Thanks
Joe

Keep it WITH C3. I'm the current holder. But with 7 players in their first season and two in their second, I can't see me retaining it so someone else will have do the winning for us ;-)

So we reach day 47/47 and the 4 teams promoted from 3-1-2 are:
1. The Pompey Chimes - Division Champions
2. Rathpeacon - Runners Up
3. Saiyan Warriors
4. Foo Fighters - Play Off Winners
The teams that have been relegated from 3-1-1 are:
13. PSYCHO F.C.
14. Dynamo St Jude
15. Scoby FC
16. Ruff Ryders (computer team)
3-1-1 looks like a strong lineup for next season!

Not a clue. Whoever stops logging in through the season.

Pompey Chimes

Invincibles. I have to beat them one day don't I?

Invincibles. I probably won't beat them.

Top 8. Aim for the stars
- Predicted finish in the table?
10th
-
Prediction's for the new season, Top 3 / Relegation?
To tough to call at the top end but I expect the usual suspects to be there or thereabouts.
- Dark Horses / One to watch out for?
Hoarse Whisperers - I think Nijinsky has a strong season up his sleeve this time around.
- Team/s you are looking forward to playing the most and why?
The Pompey Chimes & Rathpeacon - Always good to have active managers who are unpredictable with tactics being promoted as I would rather play teams like that (Who are a challenge) then CPU's or teams that play one tactic for the full 90mins who hardly show up.
- Team/s you are least looking forward to playing and why?
Attack Attack Reserve who seems to always get a result against me and probably went a long way to costing me the title last time out, from memory we drew 1-1 and he beat me 1-0!
Also Mmmrs Pheonix Pigs as I don't have a great record against davef either.
- Personal Goal for the season?
Win my first x-1-1 title
Try not to be too predictable with advanced tactics during games
- Predicted finish in the table?
Top 3

Poachers FC - Home
Rathpeacon - Home
Touchnplay - Home
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs - Home
Lucys Tigers - Home

-
Winners? Luck and concentration will play a big part (but not me --- with 7 new players and 2 just into their 2nd seasons that's a whole team and I can't see me getting through a season without paying a price). Making two mistakes setting up can cost 6 points --- relatively more if against a fellow challenger --- so anyone who has a season of being consistently error free will go close.
Relegated? Managers who get bored not winning and set up the least (maybe not the worst squads but the worst managed).
Least favourite opponent? Lucy. Even if she is one of my favourite managers --- but recently my players, whatever formation or tactics I used, just never worked well against hers. When my new lot have grown up a bit, maybe that'll change :D. I'd also nominate myself for some of the stupid mistakes I've made in the last two seasons.
Dark Horses? If I get things right, maybe my lot. They shouldn't challenge but then that's why I'm saying possible dark horses ;-)
Looking forward to playing the most? Whoever forgets to set against me on a night when I have important players out through injury or suspension.
-
Set up the Conference 3 cup again, we filled it up so quickly last season so although we are starting a couple of days later it will still run nicely with the league campaign.
Roll up roll up places are at a premium.
-
Got that wrong then haha.
-
I’ll take that but I am a bit confused as to why me winning 19-0 on Tactical Advantage would give me a 6-0 win?!?
-
I noticed some strange results last night too. Not In this league obviously.
Mariners Park lost 4-0 last night while only losing on tactics for 15 minutes against a side I would say I’m stronger than.
The Grey Hen lost 3-0 in a match that was even on tactics...you could argue the team I lost too was stronger but I didn’t think it warrented a 3-0 loss.
I wonder if Junior has done something with the match engine...
-
I noticed something wrong with one of Lucy's games last season, too (I am nosy!) She lost something ridiculously like 6-1 or 7-1 (I can't remember what), but she dominated tactically for the majority of the game... in fact, she didn't put a foot wrong. Nothing wrong with boots or style, etc. I don't know what that was about.
-
The only thing I could think of that my players Gelling were all atleast 50 and I think Poachers were 10-20 each player. Unsure how much on an effect that would of made?
-
Damn a last minute goal stopped me getting the perfect start.
That Poachers v Invincibles game was crazy though I couldn't quite believe that score line. I thought Rich must have had AWOL's, I'd be pretty pissed off if that was against me!
-
Level until HT then Poachers lost a defender --- and 5 more goals. Always a risk, you would think, when playing 2-5-3 and using 3 subs straight from KO? It's all I can see (but Invincibles don't look too bad a side). Also, in the past, promoted teams sometimes have seemed to start seasons (anything from first half dozen games to first half of a season) with an invisible advantage. Just a thought.
-
I went to work this morning and assumed that I had got something wrong. Now I've looked at t, I'm confused.
I deserved to lose, but 1-0, maybe 2?
Frustrating as Gelling has never been an issue before. I've beaten teams with 109 Gelling when I've had zero.
Ah well. The season can only improve from here, right?

Didn’t think of the injury to the defender so Longball against his one remaining defender.
By that time I was 2-0 up with only 4mins TA in my favour and just before his injury I had my Centre Mid go off with a broken arm.
Still baffled by it as much as anyone else. :o

The only thing I could expand on is maybe his wingers were better at attacking than yours were at defending? And losing a MF when you are playing LB might not be as relevant as losing one of your two defenders when your opponent has three strikers? Otherwise it might be just one of those early season things. Or god (in whatever form) hates you --- probably unlikely unless you have been really naughty (though I'm not sure you have to be even really naughty in some religions, just even thinking about a tiny bit of naughtiness might do)? Hope that is some help :)

Needed that last night and got a good win in the ICC.
Fair play, Jimbo I had to dig deep and try something different to get a result against you.
-
Couldn't break down Rathpeacon's mighty defence!
0-0 Bore Draw. I will take any points I can get in these first 6 fixtures.
I can already see this league is going to be close again with only 3 teams gaining 2 wins from 2 in the first couple of games!

Don't worry Dan you'll get back on track tonight no doubt

At home with no ref tonight Jimbo. You're getting psychoed!!!!!! Haha
Good luck buddy

Well played last night dave, no complaints about that one!
Shame I couldn’t get into the Server Cup Final today to give C3 another shot at Silverware.
Onto tonight and yet another tough tie against Lucy ::)
-
Have to say, after just five games, how tough but enjoyable 3-1-1 is. Two wins, two draws and a loss, six goals scored, two conceded. Not good enough to mount a challenge for the top spots but good enough to steer clear of relegation. It's going to be a tough slog but hopefully I'll get close to a top eight finish.
-
Finally off the mark thank god! Going to be a very topsy turvy season I think but can't wait to see what's in store!

Hi everyone,
Just a quick update we are at 12/16 for the conference 3 cup. Going to chase those who are yet to enter as I would like the competition filled by the start of next week.
Thanks
Joe

Ouch.
Not been able to log in for a week and it's cost me. :(
Always next season.

Well that loss was annoying. On top for 54 mins. Level for 30. Behind for 6. Lost 1-0. Lucy your team must be insane!! Haha
-
I was annoyed but my win against Green Bay Parkers made me feel better. :D (Here in Chicago the Bears fans call Packers fans "cheese heads.") :) Huge rivalry. No offense meant. ;)

For no apparent reason --- I like cheese. A lot. :). And I know a lot more about it than I do Gridiron Rugby.
So ---- Should the need ever arise --- Questions on cheese to me --- And questions on Gridiron Rugby to Lucy.

I suppose we could swap roles at Christmas --- For fun? :D

Conference 3 - Day 8 Preview
The Rumour Mill vs Rathpeacon
The reigning champions have made a solid start again to the new campaign with 5 wins out of a possible 7 and lye in 3rd place, I'm sure Chris would be happy with this even at this early stage seeing the strength of 3-1-1 now. Eamon's side come into this game in great form unbeaten in 4 games with the last 3 being straight wins.
I dont see much being given away by either side in this one - Prediction 0-0
Arsenal Invincibles vs The Pompey Chimes
The home side go into this game following a opening 6 game slug which saw a return of W2, D2, L2.
A.I finally got back on track last night with a 3-1 win against the lowly Saiyan Warriors.
The Chimes lye in 7th after 7 games following their promoting from 3-1-2 and I am sure Jimbo will be more than made up with their current position following decent draws against Thanet & Green Bay, Nijinsky however handed them a 0-3 drubbing last night and they will be looking to bounch back.
Prediction 1-1 - Based on how my season is going
Poachers FC vs Green Bay Parkers
Following being handed a good squad, Ryan has steered the Green Bay Parkers into 5th place and well in contention to mix it up at the top end this season. Lucy's Tigers ended their unbeaten run last night so they will be looking to get back to winning ways against a Poachers FC side currently 12th in the division and although Rich has had some logging in problems are struggling for any kind of form. Poachers need a result here to get their season going and I think they will get one albeit a close game. Prediction 1-0
Hoarse Whisperers vs Attack Attack Reserve
Nijinsky who was my "dark horse" pick in the pre season prediction has been going about his business nicely with a 16pts return from the opening 7 games and are currently the closest challengers to Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs. The away side have shipped the 3rd most in the league & are looming in the relegation places even at this early stage. The home side will have too much tonight. Prediction 3-0
Lucys Tigers vs Touchnplay
4th Place Lucys are on a unbeaten 4 match run (winning all 4) following a sluggish start to the season by her standards I'm sure. Joe's Touchnplay seem to be struggling to score many goals but fortunately for them also keeping the door shut at the other end. The home side rode their luck a little last night and I think Touchnplay could nick something here tonight. Prediction 1-1
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs The Rhubarb Triangle
Not too much to preview in this one.
The run away leaders with 7 wins from 7 and only conceeding 2 goals come up against the 2nd to bottom team who have only scored 2 goals and conceeded 26. This is going one way and one way only.
Prediction 6-0
Thanet United v Foo Fighters
11th plays 16th in this game this evening with the home side losing the last 3 on the bounce which may worry Brian as they do not want to be too cut adrift from the others above. Foo Fighters are yet to score a single point though and I'm putting my neck on the line and saying tonight wont be the night either. Routine win and Thanet to get back on track. Prediction 4-1
Clayton Royals vs Saiyan Warriors
The home team currently in 9th place had a solid start to the season but after a 3 game losing streak they got back to winning ways last night. Saiyan Warriors have lost 5 games and only scored 5 goals and if their form doesnt change then they look certain to re-join 3-1-2 at the start of next season.
Low scoring game but the home side will come out on top. Prediction 2-1
We'll see what happens...
Mr C

Brilliant preview Mr C 8)
I would take a draw versus you tonight, however, I have a feeling you will turn me over like the Hoarse Whisperers did to me last night.
Being in 3-1-1 is tough for newly promoted teams but you are right, I am delighted with my start and would exceed my expectations if I finish in the top 8 this season. My objective is to avoid relegation! My plan is to cause a few upsets along the way, if I can ;)
Best of luck tonight Mr C and a super read before tonight's 3-1-1 day 8 fixtures :) :)
-
I try to do previews etc. when I can but it's getting the time!
If im honest I dont think there is any chance of you being relegated. I think the current bottom 4 are the ones who will go down.
Mr C
-
Won 1-0 despite losing 60-15 on TA!
I had an If not winning @ 75mins ---> Counter Attack so could of nicked it then but you should have got an equaliser in that last 30!
Started bad this season... Small Steps I suppose
-
Dan called the result, but oh if only my players had behaved themselves then I would have got the win gutting!
Also love the previews Dan keep them coming! The best thing about C3 this season is any mistake you get punished definitely the most fun conference at the moment

Well played Mr C. Gutted I didn’t equalise but think your team is stronger than mine so will need to get back to the drawing board. My focus is on training and keeping my gelling as high as possible to keep my top 8 hopes alive!
-
Still not got the C3 Cup filled yet Joe??
Not enough time for previews tonight but I will just put my predictions out there...
Matchday 8
The Rumour Mill 2 vs 1 Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
Arsenals Invincibles 1 vs 0 Thanet United
Poachers FC 1 vs 1 Clayton Royals
Hoarse Whisperers 2 vs 1 Lucys Tigers
Green Bay Parkers 2 vs 0 Saiyan Warriors
Attack Attack Reserve 1 vs 2 Rathpeacon
Touchnplay 1 vs 0 The Pompey Chimes
The Rhubarb Triangle 3 vs 2 Foo Fighters
-
The slog continues, my AT's this season have been absolutely atrocious much like my strikers who seem to have decided they want to turn into a load of Rasiak's.
Dan been super busy at work these last few weeks so not got round to the chasing part yet. I've forgotten who I need to chase to be honest I know Chris still hasn't entered and Lucy and Dave aren't entering this year but that about it off the top of my head
-
Can't believe the conference three cup is still not filled. Surely four more teams are interested in a a good competition. You only need to win three games to be in a final, it's well worth a punt of 500 credits.
-
I've entered. Forgot to do it earlier.
-
it's been very quiet here. No one saying anything in conference three!!!
Still three slots in the conference three cup. We could nearly do with getting this started shortly. Anyone else want to enter????

I'm keeping quiet as I am exceeding my expectations for my first season in 311.
I've entered the conference 3 cup :)
-
I'm struggling, just two points from my last six games. Defeat tonight would end any outside chances of a top eight finish for me. I'm looking over my shoulders and not looking ahead anymore.
-
Another loss last night, only two points from my last seven games! Awful form at the moment, can't seem to buy a win. Seven points off the top eight now.

I always find that momentum plays a big part. If you are towards the top of the league you seem to get the rub of the green. If you start badly then it's a struggle throughout!
-
Maybe, of my last seven, I lost 1-0 to Clayton last night. Drew 1-1 with Lucy the night before that. Got hammered 4-0 by Pompey but drew 1-1 with Green Bay, lost 1-0 to Hoarse Whisperers, lost 1-0 to Attack Attack Reserve, lost 2-1 to the rumour mill.
My last win was a 1-0 win over Poachers. I've only scored three goals in those seven games.
My team is not the best but I would have thought that I should have picked up the odd win in seven!

Someone else is more than welcome to take that over.

Nice of Poachers to show up for the 1st time in a while last night. Bye bye title dreams 😭😭😭

Given that no one has said anything for nine days, I said I'd say something just for the sake of saying something :D

Well done and Congratulations to Hoarse Whisperers. Winning the title a day early in this conference is awesome. A well deserving champ!

Yeah strange one. But I've Had them in my favour this season aswell so no complaints. That's why you were my team to avoid at the start of the season. Still no wins against you with either team. Haha

you have been the best team this season and deserve the title.

Lost my last two games to drop out of the top eight so ended the season with disappointment.
Enjoyed my first season in 3-1-1 although I struggled for much of the season. Pity we lost a few players, looking forward to next season already :D
-
Given that it took so long to fill the conference three cup this season, the final will be played next season!!!!!
Should we set up the fourth version of the cup soon with a view to getting it started a little earlier this time?

Well out of my 3 teams Id like to say Ocean City Orioles are strongest (Winning C4 finally) etc. Arsenal Invincible are around a season younger but are very strong - Current holder of TCL and in the final again!! not much between them.
My 3rd team now named "The Wizard of Ozil" stats wise are doing very well but I used this as a trial team to test out formation etc as if you look at my players I can only really use 3-6-1.
For this season though I am trialling 1-8-1 which is new to me so could go pete tong with this C3 team which I have never used before but seen that Lucy has to some effect.
I'll take a top 8 finish but we'll see!

Best of luck to all.
Jimbo.

At the half way stage, here is what the table looks like so far:
Conference 3, League 1, Division 1, Premier Region
+/- Pos Team Name Pld W D L F A Pts
(0) 1 Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs 15 13 1 1 36 4 40
(0) 2 Green Bay Parkers 15 12 1 2 36 9 37
(0) 3 Hoarse Whisperers 15 10 4 1 35 10 34
(0) 4 The Wizard of Ozil 15 10 3 2 30 6 33
(0) 5 The Pompey Chimes 15 10 1 4 31 9 31
(0) 6 The Rumour Mill 15 8 4 3 27 13 28
(0) 7 Lucys Wanderers 15 7 3 5 27 15 24
(0) 8 Thanet United 15 7 3 5 20 17 24
(0) 9 Rathpeacon 15 7 2 6 33 18 23

(0) 15 PSYCHO F.C. 15 1 0 14 7 49 3
(0) 16 Dynamo St Jude 15 0 1 14 6 92 1
It's close at the top with Green Bay Parkers, Hoarse Whisperers and The Wizard of Ozil all putting pressure on Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs.
There also seems to be an interesting battle for a top 8 finish with only 1 point seperating Lucys Wanderers, Thanet United and Rathpeacon from 7th to 9th.
The bottom of the table would suggest that 3 of the current bottom 4 look likely to go down. Attack Attack Reserve must remain optimistic as couple of wins on the bounce can make a big difference in the fight for survival.
Best of luck with the 2nd half of the season everyone 8)

Looking to just stay up this season and progress from there! Such a tough league but that’s what makes it exciting I suppose ;D

There were three one sided games, 3-1-3 leaders Wizards hammered Scoby FC 7-0. The Rumour Mill easily dispatched 3-1-1's bottom side Dynamo St Jude also by 7-0 while champions Green Bay Packers may still be the team to beat. They started their cup defence with a 5-0 win over 3-1-2 promotion hopefuls, The Rhubarb Triangle.
Rathpeacon 2 - 0 Clayton Royals
Ocean Beach 3 - 0 Wizards FC
Thanet United 0 - 1 Hoarse Whisperers
The Pompey Chimes 1 - 2 Lone Rangers

The conference three cup quarter finals took place today.
The Rumour Mill beat 3-1-3 side Wizards 3-1 while defending champions Green Bay had an easy 4-0 win over Ocean Beach. 3-1-2 leaders Top Rank FC followed up their good first round victory with a 2-0 win over my team Rathpeacon. 3-1-1 leaders Hoarse Whisperers stay on course for a possible double with a 2-0 over Lone Rangers.
Wizards 1-3 The Rumour Mill
Green Bay Parkers 4 - 0 Ocean Beach
Rathpeacon 0 - 2 Top Rank Fc

Looks like Nijinsky bagged himself the 3-1-1 title last night with that 7-1 Win :o
-
Not yet but nice gift to wake up to. :)
-
7-1 against 2nd place is rather special. Would take a mighty collapse from here. Well play Nijinsky

The Pigs having 2 players out of position had a massive say on that result IMO.
At 15mins - subbed a Left and Anyside Mid off for a Def L and a Striker.
Oops.

In the semi finals of the conference three cup, defending champions Green Bay Packers had a 3-0 victory over the Rumour Mill.
3-1-1 leaders Horse Whisperers were favourites to reach the final but they fell to a 2-1 defeat against 3-1-2 leaders Top Rank FC.
So Green Bay are bidding for back to back cup titles, can Top Rank stop them? We will find out next weekend. Good luck to both.
-
Looks like it's Hoarse' s to lose tonight. It might take a miracle result to allow Green Bay nick the title.
-
Glad I've taken it to the last game. Closer than last year. The one game I got drunk and didn't set up is destined to cost me. Haha

Great job Ryan,
Just out of interest, what team do you manage?

Looks to be wide open again next year

Just 11 teams in the conference 3 cup. Looks unlikely that we will get to 16 teams. I wonder if I should run the cup as it is with 11 teams, (can this be done?)
Any comments are welcome and additional entries are very very welcome
-
You can't play a Knock out (or league) in this game with eleven teams. You can play an eight or sixteen team knockout only. ;) 8)
-
If I changed the competition to an 8 team competition, what would happen? Would three teams be dumped?
-
Ok, I asked Borg and he can change the conference 3 cup to an 8 team cup but the last three teams who entered would be excluded which is not very fair.
However, it doesn't look like we will get to 16 teams to start the cup.
What do people think? should we go for 8 teams only or just not have a competition this season?
-
If you can get two others to enter, Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs will play.
-
Thanks Dave,
We have 11 so Mmmrs would bring us to 12, still need another 4. I messaged every active player in the conference at least once, several got two messages.
-
Morning Cove. I was gonna give it a miss but I will join. See if we can get a couple more
-
Passwords sent to Belgicshe verpakkers and MMMRS
sorry about my sh1te spelling...
-
Need another three teams, then we could start this. Anyone else interested?
-
sent out messages to some more teams today, not sure if they are even active.
What are our options to get this started? Could some people enter their second teams from other servers to get us to 16?
Is it ok for those teams to win the conference three cup? What do people think? Do many care? Should we scrap the cup for this season?

Thank you for trying to get this competition going Eamonn.
Options:
a) hopefully another 3 teams enter.
b) maybe convert to an 8 team ko (but 5 teams miss out)
c) perhaps convert to a 12 or 14 team league - play every day?
Let me know what your thoughts are?
-
Hello Jim,
Thanks for coming back. I got one reply from those i messaged yesterday and that was a negative reply so it looks unlikely that we will get three more teams from conference 3.
We could reduce the competition to 8 teams but this would be unfair on 5 teams, (although a couple are unlikely to be upset at missing out).
The league option isn't really a runner, this is supposed to be a cup competition.
If we could get three non-conference 3 teams to enter to make it to 16, maybe those teams would agree not to set up. Matches against them would effectively be a bye into the next round. That option might work. We would need teams that are happy to forego 500 credits.
-
You could consider making it a "Conference 3 Open Cup"
That way, once all who wished to enter from Conf 3 had entered you could open up the competition to teams from other leagues who would actually compete..not just provide a bye. It would add a bit of spice and give Conf 3 the chance to prove that they can win their own cup against all comers. Just a thought. :)
I think its real fun if teams from another conference try to win a different conference's cup.
-
I'm open to that. Any objections?
-
I'm open to that. Any objections?
Sounds like a good idea, let's go for it!
-
I'm open to that. Any objections?
Seems like the only way forward to me. Bring on the westerosi
-
Send me a password and I'll be happy to send the Westerosi over to Conf 3 to do battle. ;D
-
Let me know if you want another to enter - happy to play. With the last 3 teams entering from outside of conference 3, you should end up with one of the first round ties being between out of conference 3 teams ;D
-
Yes we would. That means one or two non-conference three teams or guest teams in the quarter final.
Passwords sent to both
-
14 in, two more to go......
-
WE'RE THERE.
Thank you Saiyan Warriors for joining the conference three cup. We now have 14 conference three teams and two guest teams: Westeros and the Seg.
The competition starts on Saturdays, games every three days this season.
Round one:
Rathpeacon vs Lone Rangers
Hoarse Whisperers vs Wizards
Wizards FC vs Ocean Beach
The Pompey Chimes vs Top Rank Fc
CSI-Ramsgate vs Clayton Royals
The Rumour Mill vs Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
Belgische Verpakkers vs Westeros XI
The Seg vs Saiyan Warriors
-
Great. Conference 3 looks like a real quality league and I look forward to testing the Westerosi in competition agains the managers from there.

Thanks Jim.

Round one of the conference 3 cup took place yesterday. The defending champions have fallen at the first hurdle. Top Rank lost 3-1 to Jimbo's Pompey Chimes, could this be the Chimes year?

Wizards FC had a 2-0 win over Ocean Beach. CSI beat Clayton 2-1 and MMMRS Phoenix Pigs beat Rumour Mill 2-1.
Our two non-conference three guest teams both won. Westeros beat the former champions Belgische Verpakkers 2-1 while the Seg saw off Saiyan Warriors 5-0.

Nice write up Eamonn!
I'm having a terrible season in 3-1-1 at the moment so this cup may well be my only chance for some success.... ;)
However, looking at the draw for the quarter finals I think The Seg away from home is a really tough fixture! Fingers crossed 8)

Don't worry Jimbo, my record on knockout competitions recently has been utterly woeful!

What's Conference 2 like? I'm considering moving to another x-1-1.

What's Conference 2 like? I'm considering moving to another x-1-1.
2/3 seasons ago, it was probably the toughest conference up there along with 1-1-1. It's slipped off a little bit recently, Winter Milan and The Donks are both currently on a break but Old Fullerians AFC have just returned who used to dominate the conference when I first started. The top 4/5 teams are probably similar to 3-1-1, it seems as though there is a bit more depth in 3-1-1 lower down the division though.

I nearly joined Conference Two 3/4 seasons ago but opted for Conference Three as it was more active in terms of the forum activity. Sadly a few top managers have gone awol or changed to other x-1-1's. However, it still remains very competitive which is great! I'm weighing up my options for next season so if a space is available I may switch over. Best of luck with the rest of your season Chazz, looking good for the 2-1-1 title!

Jimbo move to conference 4 with me 2 computer teams in it and will give me someone to talk to on the forum ha

Conference three cup quarter finals took place today and we saw some very interesting results. Jimbo's Pompey Chimes had knocked out the defending champions in round one and took an early lead over guest team The Seg today. However, that was as good as it got for Jimbo who's team were well beaten 4-1 by the Seg.
3-1-3 leaders Lone Rangers beat top flight opposition for the second time in the competition with an extra time victory over Wizards FC.
The tie of the day was between 3-1-1 joint leaders Hoarse Whisperers and CSI Ramsgate. Hoarse looked to be heading into the semi finals before an injury time equaliser took the tie to extra time. However, the Hoarse's held firm and scored the winner in extra time.
Finally, 3-1-1 joint leaders MMMRS Phoenix Pigs made their exit, going down to a late winner against the second guest team, Westeros XI.
Quarter finals
The Seg 4-1 The Pompey Chimes
Lone Rangers 2-1 Wizards FC
Hoarse Whisperers 2-1 CSI-Ramsgate
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs 0-1 Westeros XI
This leaves us with two intriguing semi finals to look forward to. Can Lone Rangers continue their giant killing run and make it all the way to the final? Can Hoarse Whisperers win the title that has eluded them up to now? Or can the two guest teams win again and give us a conference 3 cup final with no conference three teams involved? ;D
Semi finals
The Seg vs Lone Rangers
Hoarse Whisperers vs Westeros XI

We would hate to lose a player from conference 3. 3-1-1 has a computer team right now and some inactive players too, it would be a shame to lose one of our better players.

Today's semi finals of the conference 3 cup saw defeat for both conference 3 teams! The final will be contested by The Seg of conference 2 and Westeros of conference 1.
In the first game, giant killers Lone Rangers of 3-1-3 lost 2-0 to the Seg who just shaded the tactical battle. In the second semi final, Westeros also won 2-0 over 3-1-1 leaders Hoarse Whisperers.
The final will take place on Monday. Who win the fifth ever conference 3 cup and who will be the first non-conference 3 team to win?
Make your predictions here, my money is on the Seg after extra time ;)
-
Thanks for inviting us to play in your cup. It has been a pleasure . Hopefully someone will put money on the Westerosi for the final...although i have to say i was hoping The Seg would not make it through.
;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I feel bad for knocking out 3 conference three teams :-[ Good luck in the final DVG.
-
Don't feel bad for knocking Conference 3 Teams out. Well Done for Knocking Lone Rangers out. It's not a difficult task to achieve. Anyway, we can always say we're on a break, or a rebuild, or we are in transition. We are Mutating...but not quite yet. We are officially Giant Killers now. So I must find the magic beans.... ;) 8)
-
You should all feel bad coming in and conquering us. Khaleesi and Khal in the final. But maybe when the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, when the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When my womb quickens again, and I bear a living child. Then conference 3 teams can reclaim their own title, and not before.
-
I'm in Italy .
Ballsed up two majors somehow.Not a clue how i managed to start nutter in both games. Another glitch !
Tried setting all my games up before i went.

In the meantime Ramsay Bolton has volunteered to supervise training for you. ;)
-
The next one will have to be just 8 teams? It was an idea and worth a try but now the novelty has worn off I don't think many C3 managers actually care enough about what happens at lunchtimes to keep it going (possibly not even with only an 8 team competition).
Or maybe do it just the once in a season?
-
haha. surely you will want to invite at least the winners back to get your revenge?
-
YES!!! Finally beat Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs in 3-1-1!
I couldn't believe it when I logged in today and saw the green arrow thinking I've done well to get a draw, then looking closer I could see the W and a 2-0 scoreline - super chuffed with that result 8) 8) 8)
The not so good news is both my right backs are injured for 8 days and my any side defender is awol ::) Will have to try my luck with a player out of position for today's 3pm games!
-
Hell of a win last night Jimbo. Now if only Nijinsky can lose a couple then I can have my title shot. Please Sunday League gods please
-
Cheers Ryan :)
It's certainly very close in the title race! I play you on Monday ;)
-
Could you lose that one though please mate. Haha.
Looks like we're both up to FL1 aswell. Been a great 4 seasons for us!
-
Incredible result going from FL5 to FL1 at the same time!
You have been consistently better throughout the leagues and think you can challenge for the FL1 crown!
My aim will be to avoid relegation as it is a seriously strong league.
-
You can beat anyone on your day Jimbo. Aim for the stars. Let's be 1 and 2 in FL1 next year! Bagsy 1st though

The cup is once a season and I think it should stay at once a season. 8 teams is probably the way to go. It's great to have the non-conference 3 teams this season but this is not something that we should need every season.

Can't argue with it and can only say well done. :)
And I think you should really enjoy it ---- The Pigs will be making efforts to ensure it doesn't happen too many times in the near future ;) ;) ;)

I look forward to future fixtures versus you and will have to be on top form to repeat The Pompey Chimes most recent display. We will celebrate with a beer or two but not too many as my training programme is pretty strict :)
-
YES!!! Finally beat Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs in 3-1-1!
I just beat them too Jim, 2-0 but they wore the wrong boots last night so I can't take too much credit. Still happy to pick up an unexpected 3 points.
-
Jimbo you ruined my day yesterday day and night. Ha.
Well played!

Well played Eamonn. Sometimes it doesn't matter how you win, to get the win is good enough especially against one of the best teams in our conference :) :) :)

I think I'm having a really lucky spell at the moment :D I didn't deserve to win but will take a point from you ;)

Conference three cup final
Sorry for being late but yesterday saw the final of the conference three cup between two non-conference three teams: The Seg and Westeros XI.
Both teams had impressed en route to the final. The Seg beat Saiyan Warriors 5-0 in round one, Pompey Charms 4-1 in the quarter final and Lone Rangers 2-0 in the semi final.
Westeros had three narrow wins beating Belgische Verpakkers 2-1 in round one, MMMMRS Phoenix Pigs 1-0 in the quarter final and Hoarse Whisperers 2-0 in the semi final.
A tight final was expected and that is what we got! The Seg had the upper hand in the tactical battle for the first 30 minutes and final 30 minutes but could not press home their advantage. The teams could not be seperated in 90 minutes and the game went to extra time. The game looked like going to penalties before Ned Stark popped up with a sneaky strike inside the near post. Try and they might, The Seg could not find an equaliser.
Westeros join the list of conference 3 cup champions, the fifth ever champions.
Congratulations to Westeros and thanks to all for participating this season. Special thanks to Westeros and The Seg for entering, without you there would be no competition.
-
It was a pleasure guys. Thanks for inviting us. There are a lot of good teams in Conf 3 and I was drawn against all of the top 3 in the league. Good matches which I enjoyed and it was good to play in a different Conference cup.
There isn't much in our trophy cabinet so the cup looks nice.
Commiserations to The Seg. We had the luck on the day, I guess.
I would happily enter again to defend our title but if thats not to happen then maybe one day, if they ever conquer Conf 1 first, then the Westerosi will land on the shores of 3-1-1 and attempt to take your league. :) The Hound says he is in the mood for some pillage. ;D
-
Thanks Westeros. You certainly have to defend your title. Couldn't have it any other way but we need to sort the format. We will struggle to get 16 teams but a few people have said that 8 teams is too small for the cup. Not sure what we could do.
-
Sponsor it. ;) The feeling on here is to gain gelling from private leagues, which is fine. However if your out first round then what benefits do you get? Especially if your thinking your only making up the numbers. So if everyone gets free entry, by either someone paying for all team entries or making it free like the Server Cup, then it should fill up.
Another way is to issue a challenge to another Conference to run a Con 3and 4 Cup with eight teams from each Conference. Then I'm sure it would fill up. But not back to back competitions, as Managers may need a break before the next Cup competition. ;) 8)
-
The Vs idea is awesome. Love that!
-
Hello Ad,
I really like your ideas. The sponsorship one is great as it costs people nothing to enter, (except for the sponsor of course :D)
The conference 3 v other conference is a great idea. We could run that up to seven times.
Maybe both ideas should be tried. Have a free conference 3 cup and also start an inter conference cup competition. what do people think?
-
Eamon, I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm but maybe start with the eight team v eight team challenge cup. Every conference should be able to recruit their eight teams.
If you go down the sponsorship route it's at least 8,000 credits to run a Con 3 Cup Competition. If you try to do seven competitions its 56,000 credits. Which is a mighty amount. 8)
-
Hello Ag,
56,000 is a lot but we would and could only run one conference competition at a time and I don't think we would need to sponsor the conference 3 v other conference cup. Surely we could get 8 teams in each to part with their cash? What do you think?
How would we run it? One competition per season? Games every 7 days? Start with the top 8 from the end of this season and work down to list until we have 8 in each conference?
-
I think you should start it with a Conference V Conference. Ask the Conference three Managers who they would like to take on. Also I think you should let it be on a first in to the competition basis. I know it feels good to have the top eight teams of 311 but it will need active recruiting. 8)
-
Also think would be a bit unfair to start a competition near the end of the season an say top 8 from now gets in!
Not saying next season I’ll be top 8 but live in hope ;D

Ok, some fair points made. Let's start with two questions then,
1. which server do we want to play in a cup competition?
2. are people willing to pay 500 credits to enter a cup competition?
-
Conference 4 so I can play my brother.
Yes I will.

Just for information. The Pigs don't really care much about lunchtime matches and even less for KO competitions so while being happy to try and make up the numbers in the last C3 cup, counting them as unavailable for any other such competitions (as least for the near future) would be best. At least until Dave is back in full control of his team.
-

I don’t mind cove an I’m willing to spend 500 mate.
Tony
-
I'm in if needed, Con 4 sounds a good place to start. This competition could also be run as a 16 team league which could make some interesting stats ;) 8)
-
Ok, based on the feedback:
I propose a 16 team league between 8 conference 3 teams and 8 conference 4 teams. I'll try and organise that. That will cost 500 credits to enter. I'm not going to sponsor it as there should not be a need.
I like the conference 3 cup, i think it is nice to add a cup competition tot the conference. I propose reducing it to 8 teams. I'll sponsor it so will cost me 4,000 credits , (about £2) which is not a lot. Given that I live in euroland, sterling costs about the same as monopoly money ;D
I'll talk to Borg about the sponsorship side and let's see how everything works out.
-
Well what a last day this is. All down to the last game.
If Dave and his pigs could do me a huge huge huge favour I would be ever so grateful! Ha.
Good luck Nijinsky mate
-

You might be able to nick 1st with Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs and Hoarse Whisperers drawing. Most teams are hammering that cpu team in 16th place so it's definitely going to be a close finish!
Best of luck to you both 8)
-
If Hoarse draws, then you need a 30 goal swing but with Tomahawks, that could be a possibility.
-
Hoarse Whisperers, you did it! Again! Congratulations!
I knew you would.
Lucy 😀
-
Congratulations Nijinsky 8) :) 8)
-
Congratulations Hoarse, the best team in the league again,
Well done Green Bay as well, you had a great season, no shame in coming within two points of Hoarse.
-
Congratulations ninjinsky!

Thank you all :)
Just about managed to hang on there.
Going to be harder next season !
-
Top 4 confirmed for UCB :)
I'm sure we could have put A & B teams in this year and done OK
-
Nijinksy, how about joining us in the conference 3 v conference 4 challenge? We could do with having the conference 3 champion on our side.
-
Am already in:)

Think tonight is the best ever time to play me. Haha. Good luck Tony, beat up on the injured guy 🤣😂🤣😂
And there is nothing on the market to replenish!
-
The market players are never good enough to be drop in replacements. I just lost my full 99's play anywhere in midfield star for 12 weeks as he has a painful back injury. That injury might be the reason i could fall short in FL3 again :(
But that's sport i suppose, sometimes you get the breaks and other times you don't.
-
Well that was an unexpected win Tony.
And another long term injury. That's 4 big injuries and 2 declining players. I'm down to 14 players. Please no more Sunday League Gods please.

Round one of the conference three cup starts tomorrow!
The defending champions are Westeros, the non-conference 3 team. Can anyone in conference 3 prevent them from winning back to back cups? Former runners up Rathpeacon will be their first opponents.
In the other ties, new entrants D Rivals entertain past champions and 3-1-1 leaders Green Bay. 3-1-2 leaders Lone Rangers play Wizards FC while Wizards play the Rumour Mill.
Rathpeacon vs Westeros XI
D Rivals vs Green Bay Parkers
Lone Rangers vs Wizards FC
Wizards vs The Rumour Mill
-
Conference three cup round one
The champions are through to the semi finals after a 1-0 win over Rathpeacon. No one has ever successfully defended this title, could Westeros be the first to do so?
In the other games, 3-1-1 leaders Green Bay were too good for newcomers D Rivals. Hopefully D Rivals will learn from the experience and become a stronger side for next season.
3-1-2 leaders Lone Rangers beat Wizards FC 1-0 while Wizards and the Rumor Mill were involved in a five goal thriller. Both were level at 1-1 at half time and again level at 2-2 at full time. However, the Rumour Mill scored in the first minute f extra time to record a famous victory.
Rathpeacon 0-1 Westeros XI
D Rivals 1-14 Green Bay Parkers
Lone Rangers 1-0 Wizards FC
Wizards 2-3 The Rumour Mill
Semi finals
Westeros XI v Lone Rangers
Green Bay Parkers v The Rumour Mill
Come on Ag, win this back for conference 3!
-
After tonight's game where I have set up to the best of this teams and my ability I will be removing "Monreal Impact" to a different division.
The reason why I will do this tomorrow as this team would still have everyone to play once and with a CPU in place of it everyone would be guaranteed 3 points.
As I am starting a re-build I would see it unfair playing against everyone again as this team is going to be chopped and changed for a while.

Conference three cup semi finals take place on Tuesday.
Semi finals
Westeros XI v Lone Rangers
Green Bay Parkers v The Rumour Mill
We'll start the build to the big day here :D
My money is on Lone Rangers and Green Bay. What does everyone else think?
-
So... the visitors and holders Westerosi will face the current leaders of Conf 3 in the Cup Final ...the mighty Green Bay Parkers. That is going to be a cracking match! Looking forward to it. :D
-
Well done to Westeros. We just could not get a foothold in the game. :o 8)
-
No one has ever defended the conference 3 cup, could Westerosi be the first? Should be a great final.
Tickets are selling fact for this onec :D
-
The conference 3 cup returns to conference 3
-
Congratulations to Green Bay Packers, conference 3 cup champions, the first team to win this cup twice.
Today they met the defending champions and non-conference team Westeros. Some early pressure lay the ground work for a 35th minute opening goal. Try as they might, Westeros could not find an equaliser.
I just want to say well done to Westeros on putting up a great defence of their title and also for helping us to keep the conference 3 cup running for the past two seasons.
I will try and organise another conference 3 cup for next season, probably with just 8 teams. I hope we can fill this again.
-
Thanks Cove. Enjoyed playing in that and disappointed to have lost. Well played to Green Bay Parkers..too good for me on the day. I played my best but not good enough. Honour restored to Conference 3. 8)

Glad to have beaten you Ryan ;D
I took a lot of points of the top four this year, (except for Lucy).
I think this is the first time that the 3-1-1 winner also won the conference 3 cup so congratulations on winning the conference 3 double Ryan.
-
Congratulations Ryan. Well done
-
Congratulations Ryan!
-
That’s the way to do it! Congratulations Ryan! 😊
-
Well done Ryan.
You've been knocking on the door for a while !
-
First against second tonight, I've never been second in conference three before, had a couple of easy games to start with and got the better of Lucy last night.
Good luck Wizards, nice to see a new team getting to the top......
-
Thanks Cove. Not sure how long it will last though!
-
Great job Globus. My run has come to an end but I enjoyed it while it lasted. Hope you can stay top for the long run.

The 7th staging of the conference 3 cup is about to start. Have you got what it takes to win????
Entry is FREE, so what have you got to lose. Reply to me or on the forum if you want to enter.

11 players have expressed an interest in joining the conference 3 cup. I am hopeful that we could get to 16 teams this season. Please let me know if you would like to join.
-
Ten teams have joined, two others received the password but have not yet joined so we are a little bit away from getting the cup started.
Any other interested parties out there? I would hate to have to make this an eight team cup when we have at least ten players who would like to play. Remember it is free to enter. :D
-
Its been a while but we have only 11 entrants in the confeence 3 cup. It looks like we wont make it to 16.
I think the only option is to make this an eight team cup which means three of the entrants will lose out. I hope that this is ok. It is free to enter so no one loses any credits. Im not sure what three teams will lose out but i am happy to be one if it is possible to select who can drop. Ill ask borg how it will work.
Any objections, please raise them here by Saturday night at the latest.
-
Just a quick message to say well done to Conference three. We followed up our victory over conference four with a good win over conference seven. Well done everyone, please have a celebratory pint on me ;D

;D ;D

Wow, two games left and three teams are tied on 65 points. Who's going to take the title from here???

Luck?
Arguably my most important match of the season and despite my best scorer suffering five big injuries during the season, I was still hanging in there as title favourite. So I studied it all and checked everything --- and rechecked. I was sober and not over-tired. I even asked Lynne to have a quick look and she checked and gave it the thumbs up before I logged off. And, apparently, I then substituted my LB with a RB and lost 1-6.
I won our first league match (reasonably? comfortably;-)) and knew I had to win this. I know I could have lost it (or even drawn and let the Whisperers in) and I could have coped with that but as god is my witness, nothing will ever convince me that when I logged off last night my team and tactics weren't all set up as perfectly as I could have managed. And it was witnessed by an experienced and useful SL manager.
"
No right of appeal (I doubt I'd win one anyway, I've heard enough sour grapes in the past and it's only ever manager error" and bugs don't exist an I just shrug and move on) so that's what I'll do in this case. It's a game, it's one season and it's not like it was a chance at my first title (or, hopefully will be the last chance I get) but something went wrong last night and if it's happened to me it could happen to others (or to me again) and I will never again ever play a "big" match without taking a screenshot of the details.
And congratulations to Nijinsky --- regardless, he is a worthy champion.
-
Sorry Dave,
I am as shocked as you are to win 6-1. You have a better team than me, you beat me 2-1 when we played earlier in the season. I got the tactics right so I am not surprised if I beat you but I can't understand how it was 6-1. Seems like a ridiculous result and a bad way to end the season.
-
Can you get away with Blades on a Soft Pitch these days?
-
Interesting scoreline. Could it have been the boots and the playing style? I would have played passing and blades... but then I am not 100% sure about 2-5-3 and whether use wings is appropriate for this formation as I've never tried 2-5-3 for long enough. Would the sub have made that much of a difference? 6-1 feels so extreme!
Also, would playing normal have made much of a difference? Nutter seems to be the style to play against Billy Bludgeon these days... and I notice that you scored your goal soon after you changed to nutter.
-
Can you get away with Blades on a Soft Pitch these days?
Good question. I’d never chance it.
-
Thanks folks but the system etc worked fine to get me clear at the top of the table and it was only a period when the 4 best of my 5 strikers were out together for a run of games that allowed me to be caught. I'm convinced it was something else.
Having said all that, it was an embarrassing rant brought on by frustration and annoyance and I apologise for that and am just letting it go. What else can be done or said. It's either that or walk away from SL and I'm not quite ready to do that just yet.
And being a cry-baby whinger just doesn't suit my usually sweet nature and happy-go-lucky personality that has made me so loved and respected by everyone who knows me or has ever met me. Mostly. ::)
Dave.
-
Dave,
You are very much entitled to a rant given what happened to you. I know I would have had the same reaction if I was in your shoes.
By the way, sorry for ending your title hopes ;)
-
Feckin big "ouch" from me Dave.
I'll take it and look forward to the rematch next season.
Big win against Chris last night as he was the winner with a draw.
-
Dave,

Well you did (partly) end them.
For THIS season 8) 8) 8)
And since I only have 13 divisional titles (which is hardly impressive) maybe I need to be extra determined to get away from that unlucky number.

Conference 3 cup starts today!!
It took a long time to get this going and unfortunately, we only have 8 teams but conference 3 cup 7 starts today.
Round one games are below. Can Hoarse win this and complete a league and cup double?
Good luck all.

Rathpeacon 0 - 3 Purple Gelato
Blue Star Knights 0 - 3 Lucys Wanderers
Wizards 0 - 1 Hoarse Whisperers
The Rumour Mill 5 - 1 Clayton Royals
The semi finals takes place on Saturday with the following line up:
The Rumour Mill vs Purple Gelato
Lucys Wanderers vs Hoarse Whisperers
GOOD LUCK ALL

Well Done on the ICC win Lucy !
-
Thank you Nijinsky.😊 Congratulations to you also for your impressive season and win.
-
Yup, well done Lucy. :) And it shows the continuing strength of our conference. Even though neither you nor I are deemed good enough to compete in the so badly misnamed "Elite" cup. In fact only Nijinsky and the two promoted sides have qualified from 3-1-1 while in 8-1-1 (as Lynne cheerfully pointed out to me earlier) the top 5 (as well as the promoted clubs) all qualify as "Elite"
If ever one thing needed binning it is the ridiculous managers' table.

I never gave the Elite Cup a thought but I can see why I wouldn’t be in it. Good luck to Nijinsky.

I know this is late but congrats to Nij for clinching the title on the last day. It was really tight and I’m sure this season will be the same. Unlucky to Dave who had first position for so long and lost it. I feel your pain mate. Also a shout to Chris who could have won it had results gone his way. All 3 of you had fantastic seasons.
Also a congrats to Lucy for winning the ICC and bringing it to C3. Sorry guys, made it to two major finals and lost both (I am Purple Gelato hehe but wanted to keep it low-key till the season finished).. always a next time but I’m proud I got that far in my first season back but I’ve realised I always bottle finals. Been in all 3 so far and lost all. I also remember back in the days being like 12 points clear in FL1 with only 5 games to go and I bottled that to along with a TCL final to. I still believe one day I will win a major (I hope)
A big welcome to the new teams promoted. Will make this season incredibly spicy. Also I see Mr C and Ty have taken computer slots I think? Always good to see a X-1-1 without any cpu teams and more competition. Need to replace a few players this new season so my aim is a top 8 position.
Regarding the managers table - yes it is a bit dodgy lol... I came 5th and I was the highest in the managers table out of any other c3 team which is weird (13th overall). Something I will definitely look into when upgrading SL ;D

Arsenals Invincibles have come back to where it all began 8)

The Rumour Mill vs Purple Gelato

These games take place today since the game was broken.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL, MAY THE BEST TWO TEAMS WIN :D
-
Wow, two very close matches in the semi finals today. Rumour Mill led from the 28th minute and extended their lead in the 73rd before Purple Gelato got one back late on to give Rumour Mill a nervous finish.
In the other game, former conference 3 cup champions Lucy's Wanderers had a hard fought 1-0 win over conference 3 top dogs Hoarse Whisperers. Lucy's goalkeeper and back three put in some superb performance. Lucy doesn't concede many and could be hard to beat in the final!
The Rumour Mill 2-1 Purple Gelato
Lucys Wanderers 1-0 Hoarse Whisperers
The final takes place on Tuesday 27th, if the game doesn't break down again ;D
-
Congratulations to Lucy who won the conference 3 cup for the second time with a 2-0
win over The Rumour Mill.
Well done to all for playing again. I'll start another contest for this season for 8 teams only. We should be able to get it started quickly.

Hi 3-1-1!
I thought 3-1-1 managers decided not to use Psycho in league games. Has that been changed? I’ve been sticking to it and it cost me a win and now have an injured essential player. I’ll play Psycho too if that’s where we are now. I definitely will play it next match against anyone who played it against me in any case.
What are your thoughts?
Regards,
Lucy
-
Ouch, 8 weeks with a broken cheekbone.
The whole thing with pyscho is strange. It's obviously part of the game but I suppose that there's a n unwritten rule that we dont play it in league games. Of course if some people use it, then we all will.
For me, I dont mind either way. if everyone wants to use pyscho as a tactic, then I would too. If everyone agrees not to use it, then I will follow too. Interested to hear people's views.
-
My opinion is that psycho is one of the things that should be taken out of the game. At least two of my teams have had the opposition playing psycho for the whole ninety minutes this season with the expected long term injuries to my players. I have never played psycho and never will. :) 8) :)
-
I only use psycho (sometimes) at times when the referee allocated to a specific match is normally a Nutter playing referee. I don't use psycho for the full 90mins but it is sometimes part of my advanced tactics and strategy. I don't see a reason to why one can't do that and I have seen a few match reports where other managers do the same. I believe and with my experience in the game and depending on match conditions, this can sometimes have a positive impact. For this I will continue to do this so long that the ref allocated is a Nutter playing referee such as Wilmot Piddlethwaite.
Obviously if you play psycho for a full 90 on a pansy/normal referee on a regular basis that is a different case as I assume your intentionally trying to injure your opponent.
Lucy, I remember just taking over this team and playing you in last seasons EC 1st round where you played psycho on me with Terrance as the ref. You gave me like 6 injuries with 4 of them being long term. I did assume though you made a honest mistake when setting up tactics so I just forgot about it.
-
Thanks for your point of view. I'm sure I could have played Psycho in an EC match but with that Ref it wouldn’t have been intentional. Sorry this happened. My question is specifically about the unwritten rule I was told we were following during the regular games. Apparently it no longer applies and feelings are mixed now. I’m glad I asked.🙂
-
OK, this has to be aimed at me, so ...........
I was one of the first to complain about Psycho and ask for it's removal (or at least an unwritten rule not to use it). I haven't changed that view.
If and that is a ridiculous if (because it wouldn't happen), no way would I switch at HT because I've seen that back fire against managers who have done it to me. In the old says I might have used it on 75 (but that was way back).
I happily admit I am not top-level competitive at the moment and am developing a new team. I'm already too far behind to harbour any thoughts of finishing in the top three. And using Psycho gets players sent off and missing training time so I would have had nothing to gain (and some possible loss) by ever using Psycho.
Lucy is one of my oldest "friendly enemies" on SL and while, in darker moments I can think of one or two I'd like to go Psycho on, you dear lady, are definitely not one of them. Ever.
I have already complained about the ending of last season and won't revisit it but I have never been so angry (and sad) and came >:( :-[ >:( :-[ >:( close to just walking away. And now this.
So, hand on heart, I will say here that I didn't set up to use Psycho (at any time in the match). DID NOT. Sober, wide awake, mentally stable (or close to it) and actually still in the game at 0-0.
What else can I say? I have no way of proving anything but something is very wrong with SL just now --- ridiculous results and (seemingly) crazy happenings. Anything else and I will consider walking away (or screaming the place down until someone finds something) because having to treble check everything for every match just makes it not worth it.
And, Lucy, when we play again I'll happily gift you a win (even if --- and that's by a ridiculously massive stretch of the imagination for my lot --- we are level at the top) and I feel like saying sorry even though I did nothing wrong, either deliberately or by accident.
Just gutted :-[ :-[ :-[
Dave.

I realise this thread is a conference 3 thread and you guys are free to agree whatever you like amongst yourselves. But we do play each other in other competitions and just to be clear i think its worth saying that I currently play my league games in conference 1 and I've played in conference t 4 before that. Plenty of really good managers ( and it does tend to be the best ones) have used psycho against me to good effect and i also now use it when i feel it will me me an advantage in the game. With some refs it does appear to be the best level of aggression for does of the game at least. Its part of the game for me.
I'd also say that he recommended agression levels on the "guide to tactics" are not perfect so beware, Also, choosing the best aggression seems to play a very important part in results ( up there with the attacking, counter, defensive casino) so if you do not use it in cos 3 you are not playing the whole game .
The problem with having an unwritten rule is that it can't be enforced and might lead to upset.
Sorry to intrude. Just my thoughts.

I agree with everything 3 Eyed Raven has said especially the part "With some refs it does appear to be the best level of aggression...." At the end of the day, the psycho option is available to be used so you wont be able to stop anybody from using it. If there is any agreement with fellow managers to not use it in private leagues, divisions or whatever then fair enough but I for one can not agree with this as I feel playing psycho at certain times during a match (depending on referee and match conditions) has it's advantages. When I play like this, I am by no means looking to intentionally get my opponents players injured but that is simply the nature of the game and injuries can occur at any aggression given.
By looking at the match result for Lucy against Dave; Lucy, you got a player injured in each half but the player with the longer term injury happened during the first half when dave had nutter aggression. You could have had an injured player also in the second half if dave was still on nutter ... That's just the luck of the game and unfortunately one can be unlucky with injuries every now and then. It is easy to notice though that with nutter referees, you are much likely to sustain less injuries with opponent playing psycho compared to a pansy/normal referee playing psycho.

Many thanks to those who gave me their opinions. Extra points for those who understood I was looking for a simple answer. (It’s a relief to find not all of you thought I was born yesterday.) That being said, as always, I respect all of you. Also I always have forgiven Dave. 🙂

Lucy
As always (and you may take comfort in the fact that you are far from being the only female --- in SL and Life --- to do so --- happily for me ;)) your forgiveness is happily accepted. But in this case I still am still totally convinced I did nothing wrong --- not deliberately and not by accident. Maybe we need VAR. Or an improvement to the game where any ridiculous happening can be appealed against and investigated (rather than being fobbed off with "It's all part of the fun of the game" >:().
And if other conferences wish to accept Psycho as part of the game then that's their business. I would very much prefer C3 continues to avoid it in internal competition (I think C3 teams have done well enough recently to show it's not necessary) however, knowing where we stand will certainly allow me to use the tactic if/when I am an underdog in any competition where conferences all meet.

Done

Getting real tight at the top now.
I've had to replace some of my best squad players especially my defenders and still have to replace a few more... I feel this will cost me the title. As long as I can qualify for next seasons EC and ICC, i'll be a happy man :D
-
my great escape continues 😂 but AC are also hitting some form now so it’s squeaky bum time at Blue Star
-
The 8th running of the current version of the conference three cup starts today!!!
Rathpeacon vs Lucys Wanderers
Defending champions Lucys Wanderers start their campaign against Rathpeacon. Rathpeacon's best result in this competition was losing the final 7 seasons ago to Lucy. Lucy has won this title in season 1 and 7 and who would bet against Lucy winning this for a third time?
Blue Star Reserves vs Hoarse Whisperers
Blue Star Reserves host Hoarse Whispers in what is a tough draw for Blue Star. Blue Star started the season poorly but an impressive recent run has seen them moved into mid table with strong potential for a top 8 finish. Hoarse have threatened many times to win this cup losing the final in season 3 and 4 but have yet to get their hands on the title. Could this be their season?
Wizards vs Lone Rangers
Wizards entertain Lone Wanders is what could be a very close game. Wizards are 4th in 3-1-1 but are just two points off top spot. Lone Rangers sit in mid table but have a good record in this competition.
The Rumour Mill vs Purple Gelato
Finally, the game of the day might the Rumour Mill against Purple Gelato. Purple Gelato won this cup in season 3 and 6 under the Green Bay brand and lost the final in season 4. Rumour Mill were beaten finalists last season. Who will triumph?
Lastly, remember, it's just a game and a bit of fun. Good luck all, I hope you all enjoy the contest :D
-
good game hoarse :-) tried my best but my squad isn’t strong enough clearly. no shame in losing to you
-
Ag has left the building.. :o ::) ??? 8)
-
Wow four really close games in round one!
Our defending champions have fallen at the first hurdle. Lucys Wanderers were beaten 2-0 by Rathpeacon in what could be seen as a surprise result. Underdogs Blue Star put up a brave side against Hoarse Whsipers and were only 1-0 behind late on before Hoarse sealed the win with a 88th minute second goal. Lone Rangers dominated the possession but a failure to take their opportunities cost them as they went down 2-0 to the very clinical Wizards.
In the game of the day, Rumour Mill led 1-0 at half time but two second half goals were enough to put Purple Gelato into the next round.
Round one results:
Rathpeacon 2 - 0 Lucys Wanderers
Blue Star Reserves 0 - 2 Hoarse Whisperers
Wizards 2 - 0 Lone Rangers
The Rumour Mill 1 - 2 Purple Gelato
-
Cup semi finals take place tomorrow!!!
Three of the current top four teams in 3-1-1 have made the semi finals. Could one of those teams do a league and cup double?
Rathpeacon vs Hoarse Whisperers
The first semi final sees Rathpeacon at home to Hoarse Whisperers. Neither side has won this competition before. Rathpeacon lost the final in season one while Hoarse lost the final in seasons three and four. Hoarse has dominated conference three in recent seasons winning 3-1-1 in four of the past five seasons. They will be favourities to progress to a third final.
Wizards vs Purple Gelato
Wizards are sitting in second place in 3-1-1 and are eyeing up a possible league and cup double, (something that has yet to be achieved!). Purple Gelato have won this competition on two previous occasions under the Green Bay brand and could be the first team to win this competition three times. It's second in 3-1-1 against fourth. A top quality contest is expected!
Good luck to all of the four teams and may the best teams win :-)
-
Two tight semi finals
Rathpeacon 2 - 1 Hoarse Whisperers
This was a very tight game. Goalless at half time before Rathpeacon made a breakthrough early in the second half. Hoarse equalised just one minute later. Rathpeacon got a second after 77 minutes and despite enormous pressure in the closing minutes, they held out to reach the final of the conference three cup for the second time.
Wizards 1 - 0 Purple Gelato
This game may have been scoreless for 90 minutes but it was not without drama or excitement. 27 shots and a red card kept the crowd enthralled while both teams battled for the breakthrough. Wizards struck with their first attack in extra time when Stu Goodall took advantage of a pigeon distracting the goalkeeper to seal a memorable win for Wizards. Wizards make the final of the conference three cup for the first time.
The final will be fought out between two teams who have never won the conference 3 cup. Good luck to Wizards but I hope I win ;D
-
Nice win to the Wizards.. Felt a bit unlucky there but it happens I guess :P
Good luck to both in the final.

too late for an assault at the Top 8 but on the plus side, 1 more point from 4 games guarantees my safety for another season 😬 wohoo
right at the top, 4-way race (or should that be 4-hoarse? 😜) good luck you guys it’s an exciting watch
-
Conference three is a great conference, lots of good teams who are similar in standard which makes for a great league. Looking forward to how this season finishes.

IT'S CUP FINAL SUNDAY
Today sees the final of the 8th running of the current version of the conference 3 cup. One thing we know for certain is that we will have new champions today. Wizards are playing in their first final while Rathpeacon are in their second final. Wizards are currently 3rd in 3-1-1 and may start as the favourites but Rathpeacon will be hoping to overcome the trauma of final defeat 7 seasons ago.
Both teams have a full squad to select from. Best of luck to both, (but I hope I win ;))
Paths to the final
Wizards:
Round one: Wizards 2-0 Lone Rangers
Semi final: Wizards 1-0 Purple Gelato
Rathpeacon:
Round one: Rathpeacon 2-0 Lucys Wanders
Semi final: Rathpeacon 2-1 Hoarse Whisperers
-
Conference three cup final - well done WIZARDS!!!!!
Rathpeacon 0 - 3 Wizards
Despite the eager anticipation, this final never lived up to the pre-match hype as Wizards demolished Rathpeacon to win their first ever Conference three cup.
Wizards took the lead after 12 minutes and increased their lead just before half time. Rathpeacon rarely threatened a comeback and the game was effectively over when Wizards went 3-0 after sixty minutes.
Well done to Wizards, deserving champions and thanks to everyone for playing.
Good luck to all involved in the title race. Wizards could still do a league and cup double which has never been done before.....
Lastly happy Christmas to all in Conference three!!!
-
well done Wizards! excellent cup run 👏 and Cove your write ups are amazing ☺ï¸
-
Thanks all and special thanks to Cove for the excellent write ups. Super stuff.

Congratulations Nijinsky for your outstanding performance all season. Well done! 🙂

Four signed up for the conference 3 cup and password has been sent to a fifth team.
That leaves three more places. The cup is free to enter and is open to all conference 3 teams. If interested, reply here.

hope i put up more of a fight this time out, 2 first round losses don’t bode well but my team are
up for it
-
I have had a lot of first round losses but last season i made the final and then lost :-)
It's free and if you win three games, you win the cup, should be a popular competition, not sure why it's so hard to fill
-
Six teams in now, just two places left. Lots of messges sent out inviting teams to partake. Would like to fill this within four days. Get in soon or you might miss out :D
-
I can enter AC Upstreet mate. Sorry I think I deleted your message by mistake.
-
excellent. i'll send you the password.

one more to go
-
Yes only one more left. These seven have joined. Who else fancies having a crack at winning the conference three cup?
- Lone Rangers
A.C.Upstreet
Hoarse Whisperers
Saiyan Warriors
Rathpeacon
Wizards
Blue Star Knights

Still short one person for the conference 3 cup. Any takers?

Conference three cup starts today!!!! :D
Sorry for no preview, I have been traveling for the last two weeks, in the Ukraine right now!!!!! Heading home tonight. Will write a report for round one then.
BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE
-
Just looked at my fixture's and thought I'm doing well. The quarter final of the Conference Three Cup. Great. Then I realised this was the first round. ::) :o 8)
-
Conference three cup round one or quarter finals if you prefer ;D
Rathpeacon vs Blue Star Knights
Two finalists Rathpeacon would dearly love to get their hands on the cup but they will have their hands full to beat the improving Blue Star Knights in round one.
Wizards vs Saiyan Warriors
Defending champions Wizards will be aiming to be the first team to successfully defend the conference Cup title. Based on league form, Wizards should come through this first test but Saiyan have a history of upsetting the odds in this competition. Can they dethrone the champions today?
Hoarse Whisperers vs Lone Rangers
Hoarse Whisperers may be the dominant conference three team for many seasons but they have yet to win the conference three Cup. Ag's lone rangers may be sitting in mid table but have a long history in this competition. Could Lone Rangers win a first cup this season?
A.C.Upstreet vs Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
An intriguing encounter in thid one. AC Upstreet are the runaway leaders of 3-1-2. Today's opponents will be a big step up in standard. Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs are a team in arebuilding phase. A cup run would boost the rebuild.
-
well played rath, i was hoping to give you more of a run but
my low gelling would have not stood a chance against your well oiled machine.
maybe it’s time i hired bielsa to come coach 😂
-
Rathpeacon 1-0 Blue Star Knights
Hardly a classic but Rathpeacon will be thrilled to be still in the cup. A 77th minute strike was enough after a pigeon upset the Blue Star goalkeeper.
Wizards 3-0 Saiyan Warriors
A Kenny Dewitt hat trick was the difference as the champions eased their way into the next round. Can they be the first team to defend the conference three cup?
Hoarse Whisperers 3-0 Lone Rangers
Sergio Aguero was on top form as his hat trick was enough to put conference three king pins Hoarse into the next round. Can they win their first ever conference three cup?
A.C.Upstreet 0-3 Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
Mmmrs proved a step too far for AC today with herbie voor grabbing the third hat trick of the day. AC can look forward to 3-1-1 soccer next season. Mmmrs could be dark horses to win the cup.
Semi finals next weekend. Thanks to all for playing and best of luck to our semi finalists

CONFERENCE THREE CUP SEMI FINAL DAY !!!!!!
Wizards vs Hoarse Whisperers
The top two teams in conference three meet in the first semi final and what a game this promises to be. Hoarse Whisperers has dominated conference 3 for several seasons but has yet to win the cup. Wizards are the defending cup champions and are looking to become the first team to defend the conference three cup. Both teams have mean defences conceding just 14 goals between them in the league so far this season. Who will triumph here? Extra time may be needed.
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs Rathpeacon
MMMRS Phoenix Pigs entertain Rathpeacon is what is an intriguing cup semi final. Two team conference 3 cup finalists Rathpeacon sit 4th in the league table but are just 6 points ahead of MMMRS. MMMRS are developing a dynamic new squad and reaching a conference 3 final would be a strong endorsement of the new team. Expect very little between these too but home advantage may be just enough to help MMMRS reach their first conference three cup final.
BEST OF LUCK TO ALL FOUR TEAMS!!!
-
Conference 3 cup semi finals
The champions are out!!!
Wizards 1-2 Hoarse Whisperers
The top two teams in conference three met in the first semi final and a game this was. 28 shots in total and after 90 minutes, the cup champions were narrowly beaten!
Hoarse Whispers started brightly and their early endeavours were rewarded by a Sergio Aguero strike on 21 minutes. Wizards were never going to give up their title without a fight and after some shrewd tactical changes, up popped Richie Wilson to level things right on half time.
The second half was a real dog fight but just as we were getting ready for extra time, some silky skills by Ageuro won the game for Hoarse with just five minutes to go.
Hoarse reach their third conference cup final, will it be third time lucky?
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs 3-0 Rathpeacon
MMMRS is building a new squad and maybe today we got a first glimpse of what this team may be capable of. They totally dominated their opponents today. Ben Dover opened the scoring on 22 minutes. Harrison Fire extended the lead on 50 minutes and Manuel Labour finished off the scoring on 75 minutes. Rathpeacon rarely threatened and will be disappointed with their efforts.
MMMRS will contest their first conference 3 cup final. Could they win at the first attempt? Based on today's performance, they have every chance.

CONFERENCE 3 CUP FINAL THIS SUNDAY!
MMMrs Phoenix Pigs v Hoarse Whispers
Sunday sees the final of the conference three cup. This is the ninth season of the current version of the cup and this final may be the hardest one to call yet. Hoarse Whisperers have dominated conference three in recent seasons but they have yet to win the cup, losing two previous finals. They currently lead 3-1-1 by one point. No team has done the conference 3 league and cup double. Could Whisperers be the first team to complete the double?
Hoping to stop a Hoarse triumph are MMMRs Phoenix Pigs who are appearing in their first conference 3 cup final. MMMrs are currently in a rebuilding phase but rebuilding seems to be well ahead of target as can be seen in this season's cup run. MMMRs has won 3-1-1 four times and has won the Elite and Server cup in the past. Could they add another cup to the trophy cabinet?
Paths to the final
Round 1: Hoarse Whisperers 3 - 0 Lone Rangers
Semi final: Wizards 1 - 2 Hoarse Whisperers
Round 1: A.C. Upstreet 0 - 3 MMMRs Phoenix Pigs
Semi final: MMMRs Phoenix Pigs 3 - 0 Rathpeacon

It'd be an upset based on some serious good fortune for me to win it (but then it's my first go at this cup so maybe I haven't used all my beginners luck up?). If, though, there was a book on the result, I, for sure, would not bet on me. Too many new players (from ditching too many top-but-nearing-perch-falling-off-time while they were still at the top of their games before they faded and the right replacements were available --- based on the Liverpool plan in the 1970s. What could go wrong?) and it's a bit early for the new squad. Next season should see me top six and then the one after --- we shall see ;)
Good luck to Nijinsky --- but if it all falls to me instead of him I won't feel at all guilty ;D
-
No Good Luck to Nijinsky please! I have him in QF of Champions Shield tonight, i need the luck not him! :)
-
I thought Lone Rangers deserved a draw in last night's game V Purple Gelato ;) 8)
Lucky 3 points to me if I must say Ag.

Dave,
At the Etihad tomorrow so I might not have time to set up.
Or maybe i will..
Good luck anyway.
How did you get players on the TM. I can't buy a sausage, Rich keeps stealing them from me ;D

Thanks Kush. All I meant was at 75 minutes you had used all your advanced tactics and we had tactical advantage so if Lone Rangers scored there could be no tactical response from Gelato. I know it does not always work that way but an equaliser would have been fair. ;) 8)

TM just took very regular checking. Got some real bargains too. As for today, the match engine has, by suspending the only player I couldn't afford to lose, decided the result as I can't now put out a viable competitive formation. I'll probably go through motions of some sort but I might as well say congrats now. :)
-
Well done Dave,
Can't say I've had such a bad day though :D

CONFERENCE 3 CUP FINAL
MMMrs Phoenix Pigs 1-0 Hoarse Whisperers
Congratulation to MMMrs Phoenix Pigs who have won the conference three cup for the first time ever. Heartbreak for Hoarse Whisperers who lose in the final for the third time.
This was a tense game all the way through with chances at a premium. Goalless at half time, the second half followed the opening pattern. Extra time was looming before Adam Bomb scored from a throw in to put MMMRs ahead. Hoarse fought hard for an equaliser but MMMrs held out to win their first cup.
Well done MMMrs, hard luck to Hoarse and thank you to all who took part. We will go again next season for the 10th conference 3 cup.
-
Well done Dave,
Can't say I've had such a bad day though :D
Just confirms why I dislike and generally avoid KO cups. Not that I am unhappy with winning ;D.
Maybe payback for Loftus Road yesterday. I've only ever seen QPR come back from 4 down at HT twice. At home to Newcastle when it ended 5-5 and away to Port Vale after they had a perfectly good well-over-the-line "goal" not given at 4-0 and Rangers came back to draw 4-4 so yesterday was set for the hat-trick. And to have the Pen saved by an ex-QPR keeper just rubbed salt in >:(
So the SL cup win was sweet and so was your lot's win at the Etihad. I didn't watch the game nor have I read any chels fans' comments on forums but I'm guessing City only won due to amazing luck and inefficient/corrupt officials. And possibly a government/EU/Russian conspiracy.
I still need at least one more defender so I hope you won't be looking for one yourself ;-)
-
Well done to Hoarse Whsiperers, conference 3 champions again, that's five times in six seasons, i think. 81 points this season is an outstanding total.
Great praise for Wizards too who pushed Hoarse for most of the season, falling a little short in the run in but 72 points is a great return and in other seasons, 72 points might have been enough to win the title.

CONFERENCE THREE CUP STARTS TODAY ;D
Rathpeacon vs Wizards
League leaders and season 8 winners Wizards start their campaign with a tricky away tie to Rathpeacon who sit 3rd in 3-1-1. Rathpeacon have twiced lost the conference 3 cup final. They will start as underdogs today.
Blue Star Knights vs Hoarse Whisperers
The ever improving Blue Star Knights host Hoarse Whisperers in what could be the tie of the round. Hoarse has dominated conference 3 for some time now but has yet to win the cup. Blue Star are and coming team and sit 4th in 3-1-1. Could they cause a shock today?
A.C.Upstreet vs Teamo supremo
Its 10th v 12th in a game that shoudld be close. Will home advantage be enough for AC Upstret to make the next round? A cup run for either could help to kickstart their season.
Purple Gelato vs Saiyan Warriors
7th placed Purple Gelato has won this cup twice under the Green Bay Franchise and they will start favourites against 11th placeed Saiyan Warriors. Warriors have struggled in the cup in recent seasons but better league form hint at a potential upset here.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE AND THANK YOU FOR PLAYING
-
Rathpeacon 2-0 Wizards
3-1-1 leaders Wizards have fallen at the first cup hurdle. A goal in each half was enough for Rathpeacon to advance.
Blue Star Knights 6-1 Hoarse Whisperers
A huge win for Blue Star Knights today. Hoarse had more possesion and shots but Blue Star took their chances and progress on an eye raising scoreline.
A.C.Upstreet 1-0 Teamo supremo
As expected, this was the tightest game of the day. A tactical change on 60 minutes provided the catalyst for a 61st minute winner.
Purple Gelato 3-0 Saiyan Warriors
Purple Gelato were always in control of this one. Leading 1-0 at the break, an early second half goal gave them a big cushion before a late third put the cherry on top.
-
i think i used up all my luck already, the 2 red cards swung it for me. been on the receiving end of that lottery before with boneshaker

CONFERENCE THREE CUP SEMI FINALS TODAY
Blue Star Knights vs Purple Gelato
It's 5th v 7th in this semi final in what could be the game of the day. Blue Star raised a lot of eyebrows with their 6-1 thumping of Hoarse Whisperers in round one. Blue Star are an improving team, could they reach their first conference 3 cup final today? Standing between them and the final are Purple Gelato. Purple Gelato were too good for Saiyan Warriors in round one. Gelato are conference 3 cup kingpins winning the conference 3 cup in seasons 3 and 6 and losing the season 4 final. Could they reach their fourth final today?
The sides have met in the league once this season with Blue Star winning 1-0 but who will win today?
Rathpeacon vs A.C.Upstreet
Recently promoted A.C. Upstreet are adjusting to life in the top division and currently sit in 10th. They will have their eyes focused on finishing inside the top 8 but today their eyes will be fixed on reaching a first conference 3 cup final. A 1-0 win in round one will have them full of confidence for today's game. Rathpeacon have lost the conference 3 cup final on two occasions. They are having a very decent season sitting in 2nd place in 3-1-1. Can they reach their 3rd cup final today?
The sides have met in the league once this season with Rathpeacon winning 3-0 but who will win today?
BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE AND THANKS FOR PLAYING

Blue Star Knights 2-3 Purple Gelato
Well, this was the game of the day and after extra time Purple Gelato have progressed to the conference 3 cup final for the 4th time.
Blue Star started brightly and were finally rewarded with the opening goal in the 42nd minute. The lead was short lived with Gelato equalising 3 minutes into the second half. Gelato were now in the ascendancy and they took the lead on 70 minutes. However Blue Star were not finished and equalised with 6 minutes of normal time remaining.
There was nothing between the sides during the first half of extra time until Gelato finally made the breakthrough with just 9 minutes remaining.
Rathpeacon 2-0 A.C.Upstreet
Rathpeacon started brightly and took an early lead on 11 minutes. the first half was relatively even but Rathpeacon stole in for a second goal in first half stoppage time. With a 2 goal lead, Rathpeacon sat back and soaked up relentless AC pressure but despite 12 shots, AC couldn't close the gap and Rathpeacon make it to their third conference 3 cup final. Having lost the previous two, can Rathpeacon make it third time lucky?
-
love the write ups Cove :) disappointed to get KO'd with a random goal but Gelato are strong so no shame there
good luck in the final you two!
-
Thanks Blue Star, I'd hate to lose the final for a third time but Gelato has a very good team.

CONFERENCE 3 CUP FINAL DAY
Purple Gelato v Rathpeacon
It's cup final day in conference three. Who will be crowned cup champions for season ten?
What we know if that it will be either Purple Gelato or Rathpeacon. Gelato are appearing in their fourth final and have won this competition twice. Rathpeacon are appearing in their third final but have yet to win on the big day. League form would favour Rathpeacon but league form counts for little in the cup. Gelato's stronger cup pedigree may make them favourites.
Paths to the final
Purple Gelato
1st round 3-0 Saiyan Warriors
Semi final 3-2 Blue Star Knights
Rathpeacon
1st round 1-0 Wizards
Semi final 2-0 A.C. Upstreet
-
Conference 3 cup final
Purple Gelato 1-2 Rathpeacon
A great start to the game by Gelato who took a deserved lead after 22 minutes. Rathpeacon manager Cove kicked lumps out of his team at half time and his motivational tactics worked really well with an equalising goal after 46 minutes. Gelato were on top in this one with 56% possession and 18 shots to just 12 from Rathpeacon. However somehow Rathpeacon held on to take the game to extra time. Some more stern words from Cove had the desired affect and Rathpeacon scored a 91st minute winner to win the conference 3 cup for the very first time ;)
Thanks to everyone who took part. I hope this adds a small bit of extra fun to the game and I look forward to playing with you all again next season.
Must admit, I'll thrilled, I dont win much :D
-
well done cove!! fun cup and first win makes it sweeter
-
The season is coming to a thrilling end. I've got Wizards tonight. I hope I can do the chasing pack a big favour tonight. :D

Squeaky bum time 😅😅

Looks like you'll be 3-1-1 champions after tonight. Very well played this season and deserving champions.

well done wizards :-D stellar season

Congrats Globus on the title. You've had a stellar season

CONFERENCE THREE CUP - ROUND ONE
Due to the forum problems, there was no preview for round one but here are the match report:
Rathpeacon 2 - 1 A.C.Upstreet
Defending champions Rathpeacon are through to the semi finals but they had a real scare in round one against AC Upstreet. Upstreet took a deserved lead early in the second half before Rathpeacon levelled after 65 minutes. The tie could have gone either way but Rathpeacon knicked a winner with one minute to go.
Wizards 2 - 0 Blue Star Knights
Defending 3-1-1 champions Wizards are through to the cup semi finals but were pushed all the way by high flying Blue Star Knights. The sides were level at half time before two second half goals put Wizards through.
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs 0 - 3 Hoarse Whisperers
Conference three supremoes Hoarse Whisperers have never won the conference three cup but could this be their season? They ruthlessly swatched away the challenge of MMMMRS Phoenix Pigs with a 3-0 victory.
Teamo supremo 1 - 2 Purple Gelato
For 85 minutes, this was very forgettable game but Purple Gelato scored and must have thought they were on their way to the semi finals. Their joy was shortlived as Team Supremo equalised within a minute to take the tie to extra time.Extra time was tense and tight but after 111 minutes, Gelato scored again to progress to round two.
Semi finals - Sunday 12th
Hoarse Whisperers vs Wizards
Rathpeacon vs Purple Gelato

CONFERENCE THREE CUP
Semi finals - Sunday 12th
Hoarse Whisperers vs Wizards
3-1-1 champions travel to Hoarse Whisperers, current 3-1-1 leaders and conference 3 kingpins for many seasons now. This will be tight, expect a golden goal winner to decide this one.
Rathpeacon vs Purple Gelato
Reigning cup champions Rathpeacon entertain two time cup winners Purple Gelato. Both sides are having a decent albeit unspectacular league campaigns. A cup final would lift their season.
Good luck to all.

CONFERENCE CUP SEMI FINALS
Hoarse Whisperers 2-0 Wizards
This was expected to be a close one and expectations were lived up to. Hoarse took the lead after 22 minutes but Wizards had the best of things after that. 52% possession and 14 shots was not enough for Wizards to draw level. Hoarse scored a second in the 88th minute to qualify for the final. Can Hoarse Whisperers win their first conference 3 cup?
Rathpeacon 2-1 Purple Gelato
Rathpeacon scored early in this one. A change of tactics saw Gelato getting a good foothold in the game and they started to create countless opportunities. On 60 minutes, they got a deserved equaliser but Rathpeacon struck with 6 minutes to go to take an undeserved lead. Despite Gelato's best efforts, Rathpeacon held on.
Can Rathpeacon defend their conference 3 cup?
As an interesting aside, Hoarse Whisperers and Rathpeacon meet in the FL cup final too. :D
-
good luck you two! :D
-
Sorry Nij to break your unbeaten record... if you could drop some more points that would be awesome!
-
Sorry Nij to break your unbeaten record... if you could drop some more points that would be awesome!

I still have 2 very hard games to go against you and Globus....Nij most likely to be champions with his very strong team but you just never know. I'd be very chuffed coming second.
Would have been squeaky bum time had I beaten Dave, but he got me :( .. Well played Sir! Always difficult to get a result against you especially when your changing tactics last second.
-
Yes, Well done Kush and unlucky Cove.
I remembered to set up after forgetting Sunday as I was distracted by other things …..
Got another distraction on Saturday so you may have a chance !
I'm peaking now after reaching 812 during the season, I'm down to 800 now and about to drop again when my super keeper will start to fail.
Still can't touch the Imps though, I've recommended him to the Sheik when Pep goes :)
-
Blimey Nij, that is some epic stats right there... Don't think I've heard of any team have 812 before.
It's a damn surprise I scored when we were on equal tactics.... I am currently on 764 if I put my strongest team out.
I think the Imps has the password for every user :p .... Top top quality manager.... Might have to go to 1-1-1 to give him a semi challenge one day!
-
Might have to go to 1-1-1 to give him a semi
Excuse me? ;D
-
Hahaaa ;D
-
Might have to go to 1-1-1 to give him a semi
Excuse me? ;D
lmao, good one Gull.

CONFERENCE 3 CUP FINAL
Apologies, I didnt get a chance to preview today's final. The summary was that Hoarse Whisperers and the dominant team in conference 3 were in the cup final for the third time but had lost their previous two final appearance. Could they finally land the title as one part of a league and cup double? Rathpeacon were playing in their fourth final and are the defending champions. Could they retain their title?
Hoarse Whisperers 0-1 Rathpeacon
This game couldnt have been closer. Both teams set up to play counter attack and both changed the defence straight after the kick off. The first half was very uneventful but Rathpeacon changed to attacking at half time and took the lead after 75 minutes when man of the match ariel hassle scored with a bicycle. Hoarse changed to counter attack but Rathpeacon held on the retain the conference 3 cup.
Thanks to all for playing again. I hope you all enjoyed it. We will go again next season.

well done Cove!! :D
-
Thanks ;D
Hoarse beat beat in the FL cup final, I would have hated to lose two finals to him but I would like to see him doing a league and cup double sometime.
But now I am going to try and do a cup three in a row ;D

Well done Cove. Always hard to win the cup let alone retain it.

Well done Cove,

CONFERENCE 3 CUP - SEASON 12
The conference three cup kicks off today with the first round. Eight teams start off the journey but only one can be crowned champions. Best of luck to everyone.
Round one
Rathpeacon vs Blue Star Knights
Rathpeacon have won the cup for the passed two seasons and start their campaign fr a third straight title against Blue Star Knights. Blue Star have been improving dramatically in recent sessions and are currently sitting fourth in 3-1-1. Rathpeacon have some injuries and suspensions for this one, Blue Star should win this one.
Wizards vs A.C.Upstreet
Wizards won the cup in season 8 and won 3-1-1 two seasons ago but their form has dipped of late. They currently lie in mid table in 3-1-1. AC Upstreet have had limited success in the cup and currently lie tenth in 3-1-1. This one could either way but home advantage might be enough for Wizards to sneak through.
Hoarse Whisperers vs Teamo supremo
Hoarse Whisperers are 3-1-1 kingpins but for all their dominance of the conference, they have never won the cup. They currently sit third in 3-1-1 after a slow start and are top of FL1 with a 100% record. Teamo Supremo are currently leading 3-1-3. Today's opposition will be a big step up in standard, can Team Surpremo spring a big shock?
Saiyan Warriors vs Purple Gelato
Saiywan Warriors host the current 3-1-1 leaders Purple Gelato in what could be an intriguing tie. Purple Gelato have won the cup twice under the Green Bay franchise. Saiyan have yet to reach a cup final. Current league form suggests that they will have their work cut out to beat a well drilled Gelato side.

normally i’d be confident, but not today. got tonked in the div match, some players low on gelling and AWOLS so i’ll take any result now (and hope i don’t slip away in the league)
-
I've got one awol, two injuries and a suspension. All for today. FL and conference 3 cup first rounds today, what a terrible day to lose four of my starting 11.

didn’t expect the awol to start.. lucky day for me.. sorry bro
-
CONFERENCE 3 CUP ROUND ONE
Rathpeacon 0 - 6 Blue Star Knights
Ouch. Terrible mistake by the Rathpeacon manager to play an awol player :'( but there should be no taking away from Blue Star Knight's outstanding display. Leading 2-0 at half time, four second half goals helped to send the defending champions out.
Wizards 3 - 0 A.C.Upstreet
Kenny Dewitt was the difference between these two sides. Kenny put Wizards ahead after 9 minutes and doubled their advantage on the storke of half time. He completed his hat trick mid way through the second half to send Wizards into the next round.
Hoarse Whisperers 4 - 1 Teamo supremo
Four goals for Hoarse's Serio Aguero but Team Supremo from 3-1-3 gave Hoarse Whisperers a real scare in this one. Hoarse took the lead after 24 minutes but Team Supremo levelled after 36 minutes. Hoarse took the lead on the stroke of half time and two second half goals gave them a solid cushion to see them into round two.
Saiyan Warriors 0 - 3 Purple Gelato
This game was much closer than the scoreline suggests. Gelato took an early lead but there was little between the sides until Gelato added a second mid way through the second half. Warriors pressed hard to try and find a way back in but were hit on the counter attack to an 81st minute strike that helped ease Gelato into the next round.
Semi finals
Blue Star Knights vs Hoarse Whisperers
Wizards vs Purple Gelato
Four top teams make the semi finals, 3 of the current top 4 in 3-1-1 plus Wizards, 3-1-1 champions from two season ago.
-
Conference 3 cup semi finals
Four top teams have made it through to the cup semi finals. The games take place on Monday but I'll do the preview a little early.
Blue Star Knights vs Hoarse Whisperers
Blue Star Knights had a big 6-0 win over Rathpeacon in round one and should be in confident mood for this one. However, their recent league form has been patchy. Hoarse are 3-1-1 kingpins but have never won the cup. After a slow start to the season, they went on a long winning run to move back into contention for another title. A defeat and a draw though has halted their momentum. A cup semi final win would be a welcome boost.
Wizards vs Purple Gelato
Wizards won 3-1-1 two seasons ago but they are struggling in mid table this time round. A solid 3-0 win over AC Upstreet in round one was a very welcome boost. Gelato are two times cup champions and have been in devastating form in 3-1-1 this season. They are sitting top with 80 goals scored and a miserly 4 conceded. Gelato will start this one as favourites.
-
you make SL fun cove old chap
-
Conference 3 cup semi finals
Blue Star Knights 1-0 Hoarse Whisperers
4th played 5th from 3-1-1 so we should have expected this to be close. Blue Star had 55% possession and 17 shots to Hoarse's 10. Blue Star opened the scoring on 30 minutes but were not able to add to their advantage. A nervous final 15 minutes left Blue Star hanging on but they did just that and have reached their first conference 3 cup final.
Wizards 3-1 Purple Gelato
Wizards are back in a conference 3 cup final for the first time since season 8 and who would bet against them landing a second title? That said, today's game was much closer than the scoreline suggests. Wizards took the lead after 16 minutes and held the advantage until half time. Gelato came out with all guns blazing after half time and levelled after 46 minutes. Wizards retook the lead after 60 minutes. Gelato through everything at Wizards to get the equaliser but conceded a late break away goal to go down 3-1.
The final will be between Wizards, season 8 champions, and Blue Star Knights, first time finalists.
Good luck to both.
-
CONFERENCE THREE CUP FINAL
It's cup final day in Conference three. Blue Star Knights play Wizards. Blue Star are appearing in their first conference 3 cup final and have been very impressive en route. They opened their campaign with a 6-0 hammering of defending cup champions Rathpeacon before beating 3-1-1 champions Hoarse Whisperers in the semi final. They currently sit 5th in 3-1-1.
Wizards won the cup in season eight and are appearing in their second final. They won 3-1-1 two seasons ago. En route to the final, they beat A.C.Upstreet 3-0 in round one before a solid 3-1 win over Purple Gelato in the semi final. Wizards' league form has been patchy of late and they sit 9th in 3-1-1.
This game could go all the way, on league form, you would have to fancy Blue Star but Wizards have won on the big day before, could that experience be enough to win a second cup?
Paths to the final:
Round one Rathpeacon 0-6 Blue Star Knights
Semi final Blue Star Knights 1-0 Hoarse Whisperers
Round one Wizards 3-0 A.C. Upstreet
Semi final Wizards 3-1 Purple Gelato

CONFERENCE 3 CUP FINAL REPORT
CONGRATULATION TO WIZARDS
Blue Star Knights 0-1 Wizards
Cup finals are often tight and tense affairs and this one was no different. Tactics were the order of the day in the first half and despite changes from both managers, no one could find a breakthrough. Three minutes after the re-start, Kenny Dewitt cut in from the left to give Wizards a 1-0 lead. Blue Star threw the kitchen sink at Wizards after this but they couldn't find the equaliser and Wizards held onto win their second conference 3 cup.
WELL DONE TO WIZARDS AND THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK PART. SEE YOU ALL AGAIN NEXT SEASON ;)

Congrats Globus. Well played!
Also a big shout out to Cove for sorting the cup every season. Thanks buddy.
Season getting close to finishing...... I’m hoping to wrap up the title soon as I got some really tough fixtures towards the end. Hoping I don’t bottle it like the ICC final today lol.... 5 major finals and have lost all :( :( :(
Atleast I won the FL cup though 8)

Thanks guys 😊👍
and big thanks Cove ror running this. Great job!

Nice of Saiyan Warriors going 90min psycho on me with albert as the ref.
4 injuries and facing Nij tonight ..... well atleast 3 of them are mild concussions somehow.

Saiyan uses Pyscho sometimes. I know there is an unwritten rule about not playing pyscho but for me, it's part of the game and if someone wants to use pyscho, that's ok even though i've suffered from playing other pyscho teams.

It's understandable to play psycho with 'Nutter' referees but one knows if used on a 'pansy' or 'normal' referee, your most likely going to lose the match due to red cards and injure your opponents players. 9/10 managers who do this, do it on purpose to screw you over so yeh .... but as you said it's part of the game and you can't stop it so it is what it is.

It is sort of part of the game in real life too. In the modern game it doesnt happen much but once upon a time, a team would target their opponents best players even if that meant that they could pick up a red card. Taken out the opposition's best player could make that red card worth it.
In rugby, the out halves get targeted all the time, I can't understand why modern soccer players dont send a fella out to break Messi or Ronaldo's legs? Your player gets a red card and the opposition loses their star for the season. Seems like a great tactic ;D

Yeh mate I get what you mean.
I think the problem is in real life if you purposely attempt to injure someone severely, your more than likely going to be charged heavily by your football commission and be banned for a long period of time rather than just the default? Remember Roy Keane smashing Alf-Inge Haland's knee which resulted him in having to retire.... I think Keane was banned for like 10 games or something along with a hefty fine.
Not to fussed about it now as it didn't affect my performance yesterday and managed to get the 3 points that I needed 8)
-
Or you could go to jail for assault too but it's a small price to pay to win ;D
-
Woohoo, real chuffed to have wrapped up the division with 2 games to spare especially with my last 2 games being against Nish & Globus.
I'm hoping this is one of many to come 8)

oh man, do i still have to play you again? there’s my tilt at a strong end gone 😂
all that aside, congrats kush!! you have had a stellar season and your defense is legendary 😬

CONFERENCE THREE CUP ROUND ONE
Rathpeacon vs Wizards
The two most successful recent cup teams meet in the this one. Rathpeacon won the cup in seasons 10 and 11 and Wizards are the defending champions and also won the cu in season 8. Very little seperates these two in the league. Wizards are 6th in 3-1-1 and Rathpeacon are 7th. This could go either way.
Purple Gelato vs Hoarse Whisperers
3-1-1 champions Purple Gelato host 3-1-1 kingpins Hoarse Whisperers in the tie of the round. Gelato have won the cup on two occasions but Hoarse has never won the cup. This is another game that is impossible to call.
The Rumour Mill vs Blue Star Knights
The Rumour Mill entertain current 3-1-1 leaders Blue Star Knights in what should be a very interesting tie. Rumour Mill have had an up and down season to date but 3 wins and a draw in their last four league games might indicate an improvement in form. Blue Star are unbeaten in the league are sit on top of 3-1-1. Can their league form transfer to the cup?
Teamo supremo vs Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
Teamo Surpemo from 3-2-3 host 3-1-1 side MMMRS Phoenix Pigs in the bottom tie. MMMRS are occasional participants in the cup but went all the way in season 9. Supremo might be operating in a lower league but they have assembled a very strong squad and have an impressive trophy cabinet. Can they cause a shock here?

CONFERENCE THREE ROUND ONE REPORTS
Rathpeacon 0-1 Wizards
As routine as 1-0 wins can be for Wizards who had more possession and shots in this one and finally made the breakthrough on 54 minutes. Rathpeacon offered little in front of goal.
Purple Gelato 2-0 Hoarse Whisperers
3-1-1 champions Purple Gelato were always in control in this one. A goal in either half was enough to see them safely into round two.
The Rumour Mill 0-1 Blue Star Knights
Probably the most exciting game of the day but just one goal to show from two teams who went all out from the off. A 57th minute strike sees 3-1-1 leaders Blue star into round two.
Teamo supremo 0-4 Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
MMMRS Phoenix Pigs were much too good for Teamo Supremo today running out 4-0 winners in the end. Teamo should gain some good experience from this and hopefully will be back stronger next season.

CONFERENCE 3 CUP SEMI FINALS
Apologies, it's been a busy week and I didnt get a chance to preview the semi finals. Here is my report.
MMMRS Phoenix Pigs 0 - 2 Purple Gelato
A very strong performance by Gelato who were always in control in this one. A brace for Marcus Rashford on 27 and 78 minutes was enough to see them through. Can Gelato win their third cup?
Wizards 2 - 1 Blue Star Knights
Defending champions Wizards are through to the final but they were made sweat for much of the game by 3-1-1 leaders Blue Star Knights. Blue Star took the lead on 35 minutes but a late 86th equaliser for Wizards took the game to extra time. Wizards won out with a 111th minute winner.
-
good luck you two, well played Wiz.. thought it was my season but such is life :P
-
Thanks Nish, will be very tough against the Wizards... they thumped me a couple of days ago in the league.
Nish, your having a stellar season mate... let's see if you can handle the pressure at the last hurdle :)
I can officially say I am out of this seasons 3-1-1 title race... not good enough at all.
-
Thanks guys.
Good luck Kush!!

CONFERENCE THREE CUP FINAL
Final number 13 Wizards v Purple Gelato
Defending champions Wizards have made it all the way to the final but standing in their way is Purple Gelato. Both teams have won the conference 3 cup on two occasions but one will become the first three time cup champion.
Wizards defeated Rathpeacon in round one and beat 3-1-1 leaders Blue Star Knights in round two. Purple Gelato beat 3-1-1 kingpins Hoarse Whispers in round one and travelled to MMMRS Phoenix Pigs in round two and scored a famous victory.
Gelato are third in 3-1-1 and Wizards are 4th. There will be little between these two. Gelato have not conceded a goal en route to the final, will that defence be enough to win the cup? Wizards have won the cup on two of the last five seasons, will their recent cup experience be enough to win a third title?
GOOD LUCK TO BOTH TEAMS

CONFERENCE THREE CUP FINAL
Purple Gelato 2-0 Wizards
Congratulations to Purple Gelato who have won the conference 3 cup for the third time. A first half brace from Frederico Bernardeschi put them 2-0 ahead at the break and a solid defensive second half performance was enough to give them the cup.
Gelato can be proud of not conceding a goal en route to the title while Wizards should be proud of a strong title defence.
THANKS AS ALWAYS TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK PART, CONFRATULATIONS TO GELATO AND HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN NEXT SEASON

Conference three cup round one
Round one takes place today, I'm short on time this morning so very brief previews are as follows:
Rathpeacon vs Purple Gelato
Defending champions and three time winners Purple Gelato start their defence against Rathpeacon. It's 3rd v 4th in 3-1-1, this could go either way.
Wizards vs Blue Star Knights
3-1-1 leaders travel to Wizards in what is an intriguing clash. Wizards have two cup titles in recent seasons and have become cup specialists. They could upset Blue Star in this one.
Teamo supremo vs Hoarse Whisperers
Teamo Surpemo of 3-2-2 entertain Hoarse Whisperers hoping to pull off one the cup's greatest shocks. Hoarse are 3-1-1 kingpins but have never won the cup. Supremo has an experienced team but are missing some key players for today's clash. Hoarse will expect to come through this one.
A.C.Upstreet vs The Rumour Mill
11th in 3-1-1 entertain 6th in this one. Both sides would welcome a cup run to kickstart their season. Both have strong squads and this tie could go either way.
BEST OF LUCK TO ALL TEAMS - THIS IS A FUN COMPETITION AND THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR TAKING PART

CONFERENCE THREE CUP ROUND ONE RESULTS
Rathpeacon 0 - 5 Purple Gelato
Purple Gelato have started their title defence with a bang. A 5-0 away victory at my poor Rathpeacon :'( Two goals in the first half were followed by three in the second half.
Wizards 1 - 2 Blue Star Knights
This one could have gone either way. 1-1 at the break and looking like heading for extra time but Blue Star snatched a late win. The league and cup double dream is very much alive.
Teamo supremo 0 - 1 Hoarse Whisperers
Teamo Surpremo can be proud of their efforts in this one but Hoarse's class showed. A well taken goal just before half time was enough to win this one.
A.C.Upstreet 1 - 0 The Rumour Mill
A.C Upstreet had the better of things in this one. However resolute Mill's defence kept them out until the 58th minute. AC are just 90 minutes away from a final and might be dark horses for the cup.

Wasn't expecting that result against you Cove but of course I'll take it :) ....
Cove, I'm thinking of sponsoring some credits next season for the C3 cup... Hoping maybe this could give us a 16 team K.O ... 0 entry and could win some credits... But then again it is probably unlikely we will fill 16 in any circumstance right?
Very tight game yesterday Nish. You've got the better of me this season and I'm not looking forward to our Champions Shield match. I'm seeking revenge after our ICC game but your team is really strong at the moment 8)
In my opinion, everyone in the top 8 still has a chance of winning the league. Would be awesome if this could continue till the end.

I think 16 teams would be hard to get, 10 or 11 is possible but it could be hard to get to 16. It's worth trying though, the first few cup seasons had 16 so maybe it could be done.

i was very happy with my title push but 3 defeats in my last 5 have left me with too much to do. The top three are great teams and Hoarse could still have a say in this.

CONFERENCE THREE CUP SEMI FINALS
A dramatic day and we will have a new cup champion this season.
Purple Gelato 1 - 2 Blue Star Knights
2nd played 3rd in 3-1-1 here and what a dramatic game we had. Gelato took the lead on the 30th minutes. Blue Star edged the game from here but looked to be going out only for a 90th minute equaliser. Extra time was needed and for a while, it looked like we would never get a winner by a 111th goal put Blue Star through.
Very high quality game with 45 shots, 37 fouls and 7 yellow cards. No one deserved to lose but Blue Star have a chance to take their first cup title.
Hoarse Whisperers 3 - 0 A.C.Upstreet
Hoarse Whisperers may be having a poor league season by their high standards but there was nothing poor about this performance. 1-0 up at the break, two second goals left them comfortable winners. AC fought hard and had their chances but Whisperers were clinical in front of goal. Can they win the cup for the first time?
-
a bit of luck on my side, sorry Gelato (but not too sorry to take the win). Hoarse in the final, there's no easy games :P all the best Nij

Good game mate.... Not the first time you've scored a 90th minute goal against me lol.
League is very tight which is great to see. Defence has been rock solid this season which is good to see!

CONFERENCE 3 CUP FINAL
IT'S CUP FINAL DAY IN CONFERENCE 3!!!
BLUE STAR KNIGHTS V HOARSE WHISPERERS
What a final, it rarely gets bigger than this!
Blue Star Knights are the 3-1-1 defending champions and currently lie second in 3-1-1. Hoarse Whispers have won 3-1-1 7 times in the last 11 seasons.
These teams have met several times this season. Hoarse won when they met in the server cup and Blue Star won their league 3-1-1 meeting while their FL1 tie finished in a draw.
Neither team has ever won the cup. No team has ever double a league and cup double, Blue Star could still win the league, will today be the first leg of a possible double? This one is impossible to call!.

CONFERENCE THREE CUP FINAL
HOARSE WHISPERERS 4-0 BLUE STAR KNIGHTS
Congratulations to Hoarse Whisperers who have won the conference three cup for the very first time. This was a final that promised much but few expected such a one sided game. Hoarse took the lead after 24 minutes in what was a relatively even first half. Three second half goals saw Hoarse through as emphatic winners.
Blue Star had plenty possession and many chances but they couldnt find a way past inspired Hoarse defending.
Well done to Hoarse Whisperers, it's always good to see a new name on the roll of honour.
Thanks to everyone for playing and hope to see you all again for next season.

first, thank you Cove.. you run this like a well oiled machine and it’s an honor to be in it.
second, well done Nij! you played a superb final and outmaneuvered me completely :) i hope to return the favor in the division (which is nicely poised with 3 potential winners)
and lastly, Kushy! you’re welcome ;) for the FL1 result i got today

Nish you absolute beauty!! I believe it's between me and Dave now and tomorrow will be an epic showdown. Secretly hoping Dave forgets to rehab and gets some awols lol.
Well done Nij on your first C3 Cup.... Wasn't expecting a result like that I must admit.
Big props once again to Cove.. Thanks mate and you make C3 even more enjoyable every season. I'll sponsor next seasons cup 8)
League is getting awfully tight. Still have to play some quality teams including Dave which is always difficult but I'd take a loss in the league and a win in FL1 all day :)
-
Thank you both and thanks to everyone who took part in the conference 3 cup.
Kush,
I'm very interested in your ideas for the cup next season. For the initial seasons, the cup was a 16 team contest. Season 5 needed some guest teams from other conferences to play to make 16 teams. It has been 8 teams ever since. I think there are maybe 10 or 11 conference 3 teams who would be willing to play.

Cove, if we can get 16 players that would be amazing but I know it's hard.
Even if it's the usual 8, I will still sponsor the cup. It won't be a high sponsor but something is better than nothing :)
-
Top 3 last league fixture:
Lucys Wanderers vs Blue Star Knights
CSI-Ramsgate vs Purple Gelato
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs Wizards
It's been a fantastic season in C3 and may the best team win! ... I need a couple of favours tonight :D
-
Gelato! what a title win!! 😬 gutted i fell short, but it was an AMAZING race! well done bud
-
Wow what a finish!
Well done to all three if you. No one deserved to lose but Gelato only concede 7 goals all season which is an unbelievable statistic. Maybe that makes him deserving winners :)
-
Really wanted to mess this title race up, must try harder next time.
-
Thanks guys.....
Blimey... If I'm honest, I was hoping to pip 2nd place. Wasn't expecting both teams to drop points with the great form your both in. After that draw a few days ago in the league against Dave, I thought that was it for me. My defence has really helped me out this season 8)
Incredibly happy to win my 2nd C3 title. What an amazing season it was and hope it's even better next season :D
-
Stunning how the results of these last 3 matches fell in place! Very cool! Congratulations, Purple Gelato, on a great season!

Great title race !
I must do better next season

Hi guys,
As you most probably know by now, the UCB will be back from next season.
As the captain of C3 8), I have chosen current top 4 BSK, Pigs & Whisperers in which all have confirmed their participation. I hope no other managers will take my choosing to heart. We have many fantastic teams in this incredibly hard conference but I feel we can definitely challenge top overall spot with the team I have picked. Top 3 teams speak for themselves this season and Nij is an absolute legend and I feel he will be back with a huge bang next season in all competitions after a transition season.
Thanks and kind regards,
Kush

Hello everyone,
we now have 8 people signed up for the cup. Given the extra credits this time, I'm going to see if we can get 16 players this time round.
If we cant get 16, then the first 8 names on the list will take part. It would be brilliant to get another 8 entries.
It is FREE to play and there are loads of extra credits available.

9 teams in, we need 7 more, don't be shy, it's great fun.

Fantastic Cove, hopefully we can get 3 more. Come on peeps it's free to enter, with a even bigger prize pool thanks to Nish 8) and games are going to be played every 7 days...
-
Still stuck at 13. Hope to get some more interest but it is not looking good right now.
-
I have 14 now and a 16th team if we can get to 15.
That means we have 15 teams willing to play. I need one more team. Any one interested in this?
-
come on lads!! :D let's do it!!
(if you want, i can offer my 2nd team and not do tactics for them) -c6 though
-
That might work. I'd like to hear people's views.
The team who drew BlueStar's second team in round one would effectively have a bye into the next round. Would be a lucky break for someone but would allow us to start.
What do people think?
-
We have another conference 3 team so I think, (fingers crossed), that we have 16 teams.
I'll start sending out the passwords now.
-
Everyone should have the password, 6 have joined so far, hope everyone else joins quickly.
-
Waiting for the last four teams to join.
Please join quickly.
Given that the season is half ways over, does anyone object if games are played every 3 days?
-
Passwords resent, hope to get this filled soon......

You will get your wish Nish. 5 players injured and I got Nij tonight....
Thanks Saiyan Warriors you absolute twat for playing psycho 90 minutes on me with Pieman as the ref and injuring 5 of my main squad players.
Honestly this is not fair. You can blatantly tell it was intentional and this is not the first time they have done this to me.
That's my title hopes probably gone down the drain..... I might leave C3 next season cause this is bull..... I'm so pissed off right about now.
You can play normal aggression with the same ref in a friendly http://smokey2.sundayleague.com/cgi-bin/sundayleague/match.pl?fixtureid=9909631 but you go psycho on me?
Only other time they have gone pyscho this season is against Ramsgate when Buster Jones as ref....I am 100% sure they intentionally went psycho to sabotage me.
Now the question is why did they do this if there is nothing to gain from doing so? Unless they have a second team in secret in 3-1-1 .... I don't know

Hello Kush,
Yes, it is frustrating but Saiyan plays pyscho quite often. You need to play nutter or pyscho also. Like you, I've learned the hard way.
There has always been a psycho aggression debate on sundayleague. I know there is an unwritten rule about not playing pyscho but in Saiyan's defence, he is entitled to play pyscho if he chooses.
I hope he joins the cup soon, he is one of the players that I am waiting for.
I wonder will he draw you in round one ;)

I'm sorry Cove but i'm not having it. Yes your right he plays often high aggression but he has not this season except for 1 game with Ramsgate where it was a nutter referee so one can understand playing psycho.
All other referees similar to Pieman in regards to aggression, Saiyan has played with pansy/normal aggression. Moreover a friendly game against Pieman in which he scheduled was with normal aggression for the full 90 minutes.
What bothers me the most is that he put psycho intentionally to injure my players... There is no way around that. If you played like this in real life in the Premier League, one would get fined and banned. It is not fair at all and I have a busy fixture list with important games and this will have a big effect on upcoming results. I can't afford to match his aggression as firstly one doesn't know if they will play pyscho and secondly I can't afford to have a ton loads of players banned the next day for getting red cards. I could potentially lose the game and 3 points if I went on psycho and they played the right aggression.
To summarise everything.... Saiyan you are a big bellend and that's all I have to say about that.
Our next division game, Terrence is the ref... Let's see if he does psycho again. If he does, I'm leaving C3.

Sorry, that was a poor attempt on my part to try and smooth things out a little.
I do hope to see Saiyan entering the cup soon and I really hope ye meet in round one, I'd love to write a preview for that game ;D
-
He played Psycho against me in a division game (1-1 v Ant Hill Mob) albeit when Buster Jones was the referee.
-
Hi Kush
On the last day of my season Saiyan played Psycho entire match with me and next day with Rumour Mill. He changed from pansy to psycho on kickoff. He knows it was a pansy referee! I hope he hasn’t spoiled your whole season.
Lucy
-
Hey Kush, he did it to me the season before (or last season) when i was top. i assumed it was just an error but it seems a genuine tactic now. must be the wimbeldon from the 80s coming through 😭 at least you got a draw last night (and i lost), you are in stellar form so i hope the injuries don’t damage your season (but you can drop points if you like, that would be very nice of you 😘). i hope you don’t leave C3, you’re truly loved here bud -just see the number of people on your side â¤ï¸
-
Thanks for the support guys I really appreciate it.
If I'm honest, I don't want to leave C3... It's the hardest and most interesting conference out there at the moment and I'm loving every bit of it but there's only so much a team can take. I've already been smoked this season with lots of injuries and awols and to get purposely butchered by Saiyan just killed me. I've started incredibly well this season still undefeated and the next few division games are vital for me if I am going to go all the way. Not to mention other important competitions like TCL, Champ of Champs, UCB and I'm still in two of the majors. Thankfully I didn't get the L yesterday but could easily have.
It's exactly what Lucy said, he knows which referee's are pansies etc and him going psycho on me and others in the past is a blatant intentional sabotage. A real pity because on his day Saiyan can be a pain as I've had some tough matches against them previously so I just don't get why he would purposely take the piss. There's no benefit from them doing this as your going to lose the game, get loads of banned players and potentially even injure your own players. Nevertheless, I hope you get relegated and I hope to meet you first round of the C3 Cup so i can whoop your ass and go psycho on you.
-
it's a real shame that we have managers playing with the intention of deliberately injuring another manager's players.
i had this the other day with one of my teams where 4 players were taken out, and with hindsight i should of played pycho against psycho and risked having bans.
At least C3 scored maximum points in the UCB today :)
Don't let it get you down Kush, it's a pity we don't have the powers to suspend a manager for a certain time, or take them out of the game altogether if using this deliberate ploy.

I guess it is what it is.... We can't stop someone doing this so we just have play on. My frustrations are over but as you said, it is a real shame these things happen.
Just sucks as you don't know when they will decide to sabotage you as they don't do this all the time. It's also hard to know when they will do this because if you assume they will go psycho and they actually don't, it will be you who looks stupid if you do psycho and a very good chance of dropping points.
Just hope everyone watches out in 3-1-1 when facing Saiyan.

Hi all
Lucys Wanderers play Saiyan next. I’m beyond worrying about looking stupid. I’m living dangerously every day anyway. No pain no gain?😄

Just make sure you play nutter. That will reduce the risk of injury, of course you still might get some but best to try and eliminate some part of the risk.

sea of red there in that game 😳 my turn tonight with butch gravelneck on duty 🤢

Hi All,
The match with Saigon turned out to be painless for my team. I had NO injuries and only one player to sit out 1 game for a red card. Saigon lost a player for 12 weeks with a broken leg.😂 Hopefully he’ll see what he’s doing makes no sense.
I want him relegated!

CONFERENCE 3 CUP UPDATE
I am still waiting for D Rivals and Saiyan Warriors to enter the cup. They have both been mailed several times. I hope they enter soon, it's a pity that the cup has started so late, it will have to be games every 3 days now. :(

Well done Lucy. Glad to hear you escaped unharmed! Hope he gets a taste of his own medicine.
I just hope I haven't aggravated him into playing psycho against every team now. I'm sorry but I had to call him out for what he has been doing. Good luck Nish tonight lol

Cove if we are still missing we can do;
1) Me and Nish can put our second teams in
2) Any Ex 3-1-1 managers can come back to compete as a one off
3) Any manager who is looking to join 3-1-1 next season can come and test themselves
4) Random wildcards to enter (any team as a guest of C3)

Thanks Kush,
Saiyan has joined, I am just waiting on D Rivals.
If they don't join by tomorrow, I'm going to create a new team, move them to C3 and add them in. Someone will have an easy round 1 game but at least everyone will get to play.

Not to bad, could have been a lot worse. I think we have come to a conclusion now that Saiyan will most likely play psycho now against all the top 8 teams. He has clearly read the messages we have written in the forums which most likely has infuriated him and now is playing psycho on the regular.
Looks like I've drawn them in the cup... Should be fun :D

CONFERENCE THREE CUP STARTS TODAY
It took a long time to get started but today the 16 team conference 3 cup starts. Thanks to everyone for your patience, thanks to the cup sponsors and good luck to everyone.
Our sponsors are:
Kushberry/Purple Gelato
Blue Star Knights
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE AND THANKS FOR PLAYING
Rathpeacon vs Lucys Wanderers
6th v 7th in 3-1-1 meet here. This game could go either way or all the way to extra time. Both teams have won the cup twice, could one of them go all the way this season?
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs Teamo supremo
MMMMRS Phoenix Pigs had a great start to the 3-1-1 season but have been in patchy league form of late. Teamo Supremo of 3-2-1 will be plucky opponents but the 3-1-1 side should win this one.
Hoarse Whisperers vs Wizards
Defending champions Hoarse Whisperers entertain two time cup winners Wizards. Both sides are having decent seasons and lie 3rd and 4th in 3-1-1. This one is impossible to call.
Real Salt Lake vs Blue Star Knights
Real Salt Lake of 3-3-1 will be tough opponents for high flying top league opponents Blue Star Knights. Real Star are building a nice team but Blue Star's fire power should see them win out.
The Rumour Mill vs A.C.Upstreet
It's 8th v 9th in 3-1-1 meeting in this one. Both sides are having mediocre league campaigns but a decent cup run would be a welcome boost as both try to make a top 8 or top 6, (Europa cup), league position.
Ant Hill Mob vs CSI-Ramsgate
Another top league clash here. Ant Hill Mob seem to be safe from relegation now and this cup game might a chance to throw the shackles off. CSI are making a welcome return to the cup. Lying 8th the league, they could be contenders.
Purple Gelato vs Saiyan Warriors -LIVE TV GAME - PRESS THE RED BUTTON
This is the tie of the round. Purple Gelato is top of 3-1-1 while Saiyan Warriors are 12th. In their recent league game, Saiyan's pyscho tactics resulted in injuries to 5 Gelato players and significant verbals afterwards.
This one will be spicy, expect plenty of fireworks and incidents.
D Rivals vs We Play Like Girls
D Rivals of 3-1-3 entertain we play like girls of 3-3-2. Both sides will be underdogs to win the cup but the draw has given each has a good chance of progressing to round two. Home advantage might be enough to see D Rivals through.

Great report Cove.
Butch is the ref today LOL, lots of red cards coming up ::)

CONFERENCE 3 CUP ROUND 1
Rathpeacon 4-0 Lucys Wanderers
The first half was very tight with Rathpeacon leading by 1 at half time. A second Rathpeacon goal early in the second half left Lucy's Wanderers chasing the game. Rathpeacon hit on the break and late goals put a gloss on the scoreboard.
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs 3-1 Teamo supremo
A great cup tie here. MMMMRS took the lead after 16 minutes but Supremo leveled on the half hour mark. Supremo retook the lead after 36. The second half was tight and tense but a third MMMRS goal on 71 minutes was enough to see them reach round 2.
Hoarse Whisperers 1-2 Wizards
The defending champions have fallen at the first hurdle. Hoarse had the better of the first half and took a deserved lead after 30 minutes. Wizards improved after half time and their persistence paid off when they levelled after 80 minutes. The teams couldn't be separated in normal time. A golden goal after 111 minutes put Wizards into round 2.
Real Salt Lake 0-4 Blue Star Knights
Very clinical performance by Blue Star who led after ten minutes. No more goals in the first half but three second half goals showed their class. Real Salt Lake will gain from the experience.
The Rumour Mill 3-0 A.C.Upstree
A hat trick by Charlie Von Trapp was the difference between the sides. AC never really threatened while Rumour Mill will fancy their chances of going much further.
Ant Hill Mob 0-5 CSI-Ramsgate
Very impressive performance by CSI. Five goals and five different scorers will please the CSI boss. Ant Hill had more possession and chances but will be disappointed to have failed to convert.
Purple Gelato 4-1 Saiyan Warriors
The game of the day produced 5 goals, 2 red cards and several injuries as Purple Gelato did enough to make it to round 2. Two goals in each half were enough.
D Rivals 1-11 We Play Like Girls
In the game of the minnows, We Play Like Girls were too good and recorded very easy victory. The next outing will be a tougher challenge.
THANKS TO ALL. WELL DONE TO THE WINNERS, COMMISERATIONS TO THE LOSERS BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR PLAYING.

LOVE the write up cove 👌

well played Mustapha, that's the title pretty much sewn up. You have been stellar :D

CONFERENCE THREE CUP QUARTER FINALS
We Play Like Girls vs CSI-Ramsgate
CSI will be favourites to win easy here, the girls have gone much further than expected but could suffer today.
Rathpeacon vs Blue Star Knights
2nd v 6th in 3-1-1 here, Blue Star came close to winning 3-1-1 and mathematically they still can. A good cup run would be a great way to cap a great season.
Purple Gelato vs The Rumour Mill
Gelato have one hand on the league title, could they be the first team to complete the league/cup double? Rumour Mill will be a tough test, this one will be close
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs Wizards
4th v 5th in 3-1-1 here. Little separates these two in the league and we can expect that this game may need extra time to decide the winner
-
well played Cove, my team ran out of steam from the end of last season and didn’t have it in them. all the best lad!

CONFERENCE 3 CUP QUARTER FINALS

Kushberry/Purple Gelato
Blue Star Knights
We Play Like Girls 0-7 CSI-Ramsgate
This was always going to be a tough game for the 3-3-2 side and to be fair they gave a good account of themselves, just 2 down at the break. After half time, CSI stepped up a gear and showed their class, Cote de Pabo netting 5.
12 goals scored and none conceded for CSI so far and a semi final place secured, could this be their year?
Rathpeacon 2-1 Blue Star Knights
Really good cup tie here, scoreless at the break despite many chances for both teams, Rathpeacon just about edged the possession and chances but it was Blue Star who took the lead on the hour mark. They looked to be heading to the semi finals before a late equaliser brought the game to extra time. Rathpeacon took full advantage and a 91st minute golden goal puts them into the semi final.
Purple Gelato 2-1 The Rumour Mill
I predicated that Rumour Mill would be a tough test and given that few of my predictions come through, I'll restate that here :D
Gelato took the lead on 14 minutes but despite dominating possession and shots, they couldnt add to their lead. Rumour Mill levelled on half time and a scoreless second half saw extra time being needed. A golden goal winner on 111 minutes saw Gelato through. The DOUBLE IS STILL ON!!!!
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs 2-0 Wizards
This was always going to be a tight game and the statistics show 50% possession each, 11 shots for MMMRS and 12 for Wizards. However creating chances is one thing, taking them is another and if you want to win, you need to convert. A goal in either half was enough to make the semi finals. MMMRS will be fancied to win a second conference 3 cup.
-
Fantastic reviews as always Cove, a quality read!
Title is wrapped now so the double is still on :D
I'm hoping to complete an invincible season (never done this in a X-1-1 before) so that would be awesome but I am in a big pickle. Playing Saiyan tonight which sucks and Butch is the referee. Should I risk psycho vs psycho or will Saiyan pretend to go psycho and play normal like our cup game which then means he has an advantage on me and I could lose since I will have many red cards. Now if I think that and go normal and he actually goes psycho.... I will have a lot of players injured which will hurt my Champions Shield final chances and getting my first official major.
Think Kush think .... ???

congratulations on the title! :D well defended brother :D quite the conundrum for the final game :P

CONFERENCE 3 CUP SEMI FINALS

Kushberry/Purple Gelato
Blue Star Knights
Two super semi finals today in the cup, very high quality games with all 4 semi finalists finishing in the top 7 of the league.....
CSI-Ramsgate v Rathpeacon
CSI has been the form team in this season's cup scoring 12 goals and keeping two clean sheets on their way to the semi finals. Rathpeacon started well in round one but needed extra time in the last round.
Just 3 points separated these 2 in the league, this one is tough to call but home advantage might be enough for CSI to squeeze through.
Purple Gelato v Mmmmrs Phoenix Pigs
Purple Gelato are two games away from completing the first ever conference 3 league and cup double. A spicy win over Saiyan Warriors and an extra time win over Rumour Mill has gotten them this far. In their way today are Mmmmrs Phoenix Pigs who have had impressive wins over Teamo Supremo and Wizards so far. This one will be close.

Blue Star Knights
CSI-Ramsgate 1-2 Rathpeacon
What a cup tie this one was. A very even first half but a minute before half time, Rathpeacon broke the deadlock. CSI dominated the second half and deservedly levelled on 66 minutes. Both teams went out for the win from here but neither could get a winner. The tie went to extra time, no one scored in the first half but after 111th minutes Rathpeacon's Peter Pants scored the winner with a flick on.
Purple Gelato 0-1 Mmmmrs Phoenix Pigs
Double chasing Purple Gelato's cup run is over after coming up short at home to Mmmmrs Phoenix Pigs. Mmmmrs were the better team in this one, 54% possession and 16 chances to Gelato's 11. A change of tactics n 30 minutes caused an instant affect when Mmmmrs scored on 31 minutes, Brice Tag scoring from a throw in. That goal was enough for them to reach another cup final.

A good cup final here but MMMMRS are defending champions with a 2-0 win. MMMMRS had 53% but the game was scoreless at half time. Goals on 64 and 78 minutes were enough for the 3-1-1 leaders to win their second cup title.
Congratulations to Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs, special thanks to Purple Gelato and Blue Star who kindly sponsored the cup and many thanks to everyone who took part. It took a long time to start this season but it was wonderful to have 16 teams in the cup. Thank you all and happy Christmas.

Thanks Globus and Cove!
Really happy to win it 3 seasons on the trot and yes Cove, 4 out of the last 5 :D
couple of players need replacing so won't be as strong I reckon next season but still have a good team to compete.
Now it's time to concentrate on the ECC final, an all 3-1-1 tie.... Best of luck Dave. I'd say the upper hand is with you mate, I've lost all 7 major finals i've been in lol.. Damn I feel like Jimmy White at the crucible haha

Lost 2-1 to Pyscho Saiyan last night.
Very annoyed about this one. Michael McClintock was the referee. I played nutter and had 6 yellows and 1 red. Psycho Saiyan only had 4 yellows. I was leading 1-0 but the sending off and an injury lost the game for me.

I am having a terrible league season, one win in my last 6. No chance of qualifying for TCL now. Strange because i am in the last 16 of TCL. Even making TEL next season looks very unlikely.

Never say never :)
Plus you never know, a team could drop it out meaning 7th place is still vital!
You could go all the way in the TCL as the winner is guranteed a TCL spot next season 8)

I'd much prefer to get there on merit so winning TCL is probably by only option. Have one of Brian's teams to beat first, that won't be easy.

Goes to show that the standard in the division is getting better or else I'm getting worse ;)

I needed those 3 points yesterday after that loss to Lucy ;D
4 midfielders out, no division games tonight wohoo!

Another loss for me, 10th place. My worst ever finish in 3-1-1 was 9th. That was my first season in 3-1-1 and that was also 14 seasons ago.
My team is stronger this season thanlast. I was 4th last season, can't understand the problem this season.

CONFERENCE CUP 3 - ROUND ONE
Thanks to everyone who entered. I hope you enjoy the competitiom.
Round one games are as follows:
Rathpeacon vs Wizards
It's a clash of the two time cup winners here as Rathpeacon host Wizards. Wizards are second in 3-1-1 at the moment while Rathpeacon are languishing in 10th place. Wizards should be the favourites here.
Purple Gelato vs Blue Star Knights
3-1-1 leaders Purple Gelato start their cup campaign and will fancy their chances against Blue Star Knights. The Knights have been having an indifferent league season, a good cup run would be a welcome boost.
CSI-Ramsgate vs Hoarse Whisperers
It's 3rd v 5th from 3-1-1 as CSI-Ramsgate entertain Hoarse Whisperers in what should be a very tight encounter. CSI have never won the cup but will fancy their chances this season. Hoarse won the cup in season 14, could they repeat that feat this season?
Real Salt Lake vs Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
Real Salt Lake of 3-2-3 welcome the defending cup champions MMMRS Phoenix Pigs. A huge home crowd will be expecting an upset as MMMRS are having a below par season. Will there be a huge shock or will MMMRS make a successful start to the defence of their title?

CONFERENCE 3 CUP ROUND ONE
Rathpeacon 1-2 Wizards
Rathpeacon led for most of this game and might have thought they were though to round two but Wizards equalised on 78 minutes and brought the game to extra time. Wizards scored one minute into extra time and will look forward to the next round and a possible shot at a 3rd cup title.
Purple Gelato 3-0 Blue Star Knights
The league leaders are through the next round and a possible league and cup double after a routine win. Blue Star Knights never got going in this one and fell behind after 20 minutes. A second Gelato goal on half time was enough with a late third goal completing Knights misery.
CSI-Ramsgate 3-0 Hoarse Whisperers
Very straight forward win for CSI here. One goal in the first half and two in the second made for a convincing first round victory over an underpar Hoarse Whisperers. On this form CSI will fancy their chances of winning a first cup title.
Real Salt Lake 2-5 Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
Underdogs Real Salt Lake pushed cup champions MMMRS Phoenix Pigs all the way in this one. MMMRS led after 18 minutes before Salt Lake levelled on 44 before falling behind after 45 minutes. MMMRS went 3-1 up before Salt Lake pulled one back on 70 minutes to set up a great finale. MMMRS showed the stuff of true champions and scored two late goals to win 5-2. A great cup tie.
THANKS TO ALL WHO PLAYED, WELL DONE TO THE WINNERS AND GOOD LUCK IN THE NEXT ROUND

Never ever done, I think Hoarse lost the final having won the league. That was the closest, I think.

CONFERENCE 3 CUP SEMI FINALS
Apologies for missing the previews. Here are the reports.
MMMRS Phoenix Pigs 1-4 Purple Gelato
The defending champions are out after a 4-1 defeat to Purple Gelato. Two first half goals sent Gelato on their way who now are well placed to complete a first ever conference three league and cup double.
CSI-Ramsgate 1-0 Wizards
CSI-Ramsgate, (who I tipped as potential cup winners :D ) are in the final after a 1-0 win over Wizards. CSI struck early with a goal after 13 minutes and held on for a famous win.
-
good luck you two!! :D

good luck you two!! :D
Cheers pal, the double is still on 8)
Globus, I would appreciate it if you could somehow drop some points before our epic encounter at the end of the season... Thanks :D

CONFERENCE THREE CUP FINAL
Purple Gelato 1-0 CSI-Ramsgate
Purple Gelato are conference 3 cup champions for the second time in four seasons after a narrow 1-0 win over first time finalists CSI-Ramsgate. This was a typical cup final, tight and tense from the kick off with chances few and far between. The first half was goalless and as the second half wore on, everyone knew that one goal would probably win it. Gelato got that goal and try as they might, CSI could not fashion an equaliser.
It's a fourth title overall for Gelato who had previously won two titles under the Green Bay franchise. They also have completed the first leg of a possible league and cup double which has never been done.
Well done Purple Gelato, hard luck to CSI and thanks to everyone who played. See you next season.

Always tough tough to face Brian.... May the best team lift the cup 8)

Congrats on another C3 title Kush. Well played :)
-
Well done Kush, a league and cup double, first time that has been done.
Also well done to Wizards on a great season, also to Brian who's team is moving quickly up the table and potential title contenders next season.
-
Thanks Globus & Cove.
Very happy to win my 4th title in a row and doing this seasons double 8) 8)
Starting strongly is the key but Globus, you pushed me the whole way this season. I very much enjoyed it and I know you will be even stronger next season ;D

I hope Attack Attack Reserve come up to 311. A long established Manager who could do well. ;) 8)
-
Thanks for kind words Cove. It was a strong season but I fecked it with a couple of 0-1 reverses mid season against Lucy and CSI.
C3 still the strongest and toughest league in the game!!!
-
Well Done again Kush.
It is a strong conference !
-
Thanks Nij.
Still the toughest conference out there for sure.
-
I just made the top 8, I'm no superstar on the game but I dont think i would struggle to make the top 8 in any other conference.
-
Blimey, nice way to start the season playing Nij first :P
Was thinking of changing conferences just to try something new but will stay put for the time being :)

Tough start for me as well Kush !

Thanks, I normally message everyone but we have rarely had 16 teams playing in conference 3. Sometimes it has been a little hard to get 8 teams. Outside of 3-1-1, we have very few teams in conference 3.

CONFERENCE THREE CUP ROUND ONE
BEST OF LUCK TO ALL 16 TEAMS AND THANK YOU FOR PLAYING
Rathpeacon vs CSI-Ramsgate
It's an all 3-1-1 clash here as two time cup winners Rathpeacon host last's season cup finalists CSI Ramsgate. League form sees Rathpeacon in 5th and CSI in 8th in 3-1-1. A cup run would be a welcome boost for both sides.
The Rumour Mill vs FC sidraT
Top flight side Rumour Mill face lower league opposition in FC Sidra today in what could be a potential banana skin for the top division side. Sidra have a solid team albeit inexperienced at this level and they will fancy their chances.
Blue Star Knights vs Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
Possibly the tie of the round, second in 3-1-1 play 6th. Blue Star has never won the cup but have been close several times, Mmmmrs Phoenix Pigs are two time cup champions. This one will be close.
A.C.Upstreet vs Purple Gelato
A.C. Upstreet have the unenviable task of facing last seasons double winners and current league leaders Purple Gelato. Gelato has a strangle hold on conference 3 at the moment. Most conference 3 teams will be hoping for an upset here, (sorry Kush ;) )
Wizards vs Real Salt Lake
A very tough tie for lower league Real Salt Late of 3-2-2 here as they travel to high flying Wizards. Salt Lake has a good cup pedigree. Could they create their own little bit of history today?
Bucharest Wanderers vs Friendly United
Interesting tie here as two of the smaller teams meet and one will make it to the next round. Both are cup debutants but Bucharest look to have the better balanced team and home advantage may see them through.
Hoarse Whisperers vs We Play Like Girls
The girls have entered to help make up 16 teams and could hardly have drawn tougher opponents that Hoarse Whisperers. Whisperers could win by 25 of more here.
Dirtbox United vs Underdogs
Really interesting tie here, Dirtbox Utd of 3-2-4 play Underdogs of 3-3-4. Both sides are making their cup debuts and one of them will be in the hat for the second round draw this evening.

CONFERENCE THREE CUP ROUND ONE
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR PLAYING, I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE CUP AND STAY SAFE :D
Rathpeacon 0-2 CSI-Ramsgate
Rathpeacon had the possession and the chances but failed to take them. Two second half goals in the space of ten minutes were enough for a clinical CSI side to move into round two.
The Rumour Mill 2-0 FC sidraT
A goal in each half was enough for Rumour Mill who had a bit too much for a brave FC SidraT.
Blue Star Knights 0-2 Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
A tight game overall but Mmmmrs took their chances when they got them. A goal on the half hour was followed up one after half time for a two goal win.
A.C.Upstreet 0-2 Purple Gelato
The champions were always on top in this one but AC proved to be very sticky opponents, limited Gelato to just two goals.
Wizards 6-1 Real Salt Lake
Routine win for Wizards here who never had to leave second gear against an understrength Real Salt Lake side.
Bucharest Wanderers 6-1 Friendly United
Congratulations to Bucharest who are through to round two in their first ever cup campaign. Leading 2-0 at the break, some champagne football in the second half led to four more goals.
Hoarse Whisperers 8-0 We Play Like Girls
All too easy for Hoarse, four goals in each half on a day that they could have scored a lot more.
Dirtbox United 0-18 Underdogs
Possibly the biggest win in the history of the cup as the underdogs went on a rampage.
-
thank you Cove, an early exit but fun none the less. well played Dave :-)

CONFERENCE THREE CUP QUARTER FINALS
THE FUN CONTINUES
Underdogs vs Hoarse Whisperers
Underdogs of 3-3-4 went mad in round scoring 18 goals but they won't be repeating that feat here. Hoarse Whisperers should have far too much for the lower league outfit but Underdogs might make the Whisperers sweat for a little while.
Wizards vs Bucharest Wanderers
Bucharest Wanderers had a famous round one win and their reward is a glamour tie away to high flying Wizards. Wizards are two time cup champions and should have too much class for plucky Wanderers here.
CSI-Ramsgate vs The Rumour Mill
Just two points and one position separates these two in 3-1-1. Both had impressive 2-0 wins in round one. They meet in the league tomorrow night, 12 hours before their cup encounter. Two interesting ties coming up.
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs Purple Gelato
The tie of the round! Reigning double champions and four time cup winners, Purple Gelato travel to two time cup winner Mmmmrs Phoenix Pigs. If anyone is going to stop Gelato's march towards a double double, it could be Mmmmrs.
-
Fantastic write ups Cove, always a brilliant read!
A double double is a very hard ask! Wish me luck :D

CONFERENCE THREE CUP QUARTER FINALS
THE FUN CONTINUES
Underdogs 0-13 Hoarse Whisperers
Underdogs scored 18 in the last round but they conceded 13 today in what was a far too easy game for Hoarse Whisperers.
Wizards 4-0 Bucharest Wanderers
Routine win in the end for Wizards but Bucharest Wanderers were competitive for much of this contest. This cup run will stand to them for the future.
CSI-Ramsgate 3-0 The Rumour Mill
These two met in the league last night and Rumour Mill won 3-1. CSI exacted revenge today, a hat trick for Elisabeth Shue the difference between the sides.
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs 0-3 Purple Gelato
Can anyone stop Gelato's march to a double double? An early goal gave them a 1-0 half time lead. Two second half goals put them comfortably into the semi finals.
-
CONFERENCE THREE CUP SEMI FINALS
THE FUN CONTINUES
Two high quality semi finals tomorrow. 3 of the top four in 3-1-1 and last season's cup finalists.
Hoarse Whisperers vs Wizards
One of the most intriguing cup ties for several seasons as Hoarse entertain Wizards.
2nd in 3-1-1 plays 4th, the two time cup champions play the season 14 champions. Both sides used to share the top two spots in 3-1-1 for fun for many seasons. That's all history, this is a new chapter in their history. Expect extra time to be needed here.
CSI-Ramsgate vs Purple Gelato
It's a repeat of last seasons final here as CSI take their turn to try and prevent Gelato's march to an unprecedented double double. CSI have been mediocre in the league but had no problems in the cup, dispatching Rathpeacon and The Rumour Mill to reach the semi finals. Gelato have been in devastating league form and have brought that form into the cup. However, today could be a tough day for the double champions.
-
CONFERENCE THREE CUP SEMI FINALS
THE FUN CONTINUES
Wow, two close games today, we have our finalists for this season.
Hoarse Whisperers 0-1 Wizards
There was little between these two. 13 shots to 12, 52% possession to 48. Wizards scored on 30 minutes and try as Hoarse did, they could not get the equaliser. Wizards are 90 minutes away from a 3rd cup title.
CSI-Ramsgate 0-1 Purple Gelato
Gelato had the chances and the possession but CSI hung in their for the full 90 minutes and could easily have won this in regulation time. Gelato finally scored one minute into extra time and kept their double double hopes alive.
-
60mins advantage for CSI Ramsgate..... Somewhat unlucky in our semi final match. I guess my team strength helped me snatch it.
-
Oops Astros on a normal pitch.... stupid rookie mistake.
Well done Nish :) .... Very interesting title race with surely more twists to come 8)
-
what an absolute fluke! but it opens it up for Wizards to storm the fort 😬 good luck you two, on a double, a single or perhaps a nought
-
Looks like it's a 3 horse race....
Got the twat Saiyan tonight, he must be fuming with his 6 awols, 3 suspensions and 3 injuries hahaha.

CONFERENCE THREE CUP FINAL DAY
WIZARDS V PURPLE GELATO
After a long campaign and some great games, today we have the final of the conference three cup and what a high quality final we have to look forward. Current league and cup champions Purple Gelato will try to complete the first part of a second double.
Standing in their way are Wizards, two time cup champions and a team who could realistically also complete their own league and cup double.
Just five points separates these two in the league. When these two met in the league, Gelato had a 1-0 win. Expect today's tie to be equally close.

CONFERENCE 3 CUP FINAL
Wiazards 10 (TEN) - 1 Purple Gelato
An injury hit Purple Gelato team proved no match for Wizards today in the conference 3 cup final. Wizards took the lead after 9 minutes and relentless first half pressure saw them 4-0 ahead at half time. Gelato pulled a goal back early in the second but this only saw Wizards upping a gear playing some outstanding football in the second half to win 10-1.
Congratulations to Wizards. This is Wizard's third conference 3 cup title and puts them second on all time winners list. Wizards could still complete the league and cup double.
Well done to Purple Gelato, cups are hard to defend and coming within 90 minutes of a second title, and a possible second double is a great achievement.

It is what it is mate, it would have been hard to beat you even if I had my first 11. Your team is very strong at the moment and your having a great season so far.
I'm sure tonight's game won't have as many goals lol.
Thanks to Cove for setting up the C3 cup along with the fantastic write ups. Much appreciated mate. This could be my last season in C3 so if that was the last game I played in the C3 cup, it has been a privilege 8)
-
Only 2 points difference.... Massive game tonight against Attack Attack Reserves.
Can not underestimate them 1 bit as I remember losing to them a few seasons back.
If I win tonight, the title chase will surely be over as my last 2 remaining fixtures are against relegated teams.
Good luck Nish, you have have pushed me all the way this season!

Final game of the season. Bluestar can still win the title but Gelato play the bottom side so chances they will retain their title.
I played Saiyan last nght which meant my injury list is longer today :-(

Not 100% sure yet but edging towards C1 right now ..... Competing against a dominate King Rich is very tempting and I am down for the challenge 8)

No chance of me losing tonight against a CPU team. It's been a great season and I can't believe I have won 5 on the trot... I reckon that cements me in C3 history somewhere :)
That Twat Saiyan is at it again lol ....... Could have been much worse with the injuries :) .... No lie though, I will miss calling Saiyan a bellend if I do leave C3 ;D ;D

What's become of my old stomping ground, then?!

I think you are a legend alright Kush. League and cup titles and a double too. First time the double was done.
Welcome Poachers, always a welcome to all in conference 3

CONFERENCE 3 CUP ROUND ONE
The cup starts today. Good luck to everyone.
Rathpeacon vs CSI-Ramsgate
6th in 3-1-1 travel to play 7th in 3-1-1 in a big game for both sides. Both are having decent if not spectacular seasons. A cup run would be a welcome boost.
Blue Star Knights vs The Rumour Mill
Probably the tie of the round. Blue Star are second in 3-1-1 and Rumour Mill are having a very good season in 5th place. Home advantage might be enough for Blue Star to progress.
Bucharest Wanderers vs Wizards
Tough tie here for Bucharest of 3-2-1 who entertain defending cup champions Wizards. Wizards are 4th in 3-1-1 and will be keen to making a winning defence to the cup campaign.
Saiyan Warriors vs Hoarse Whisperers
Pyscho Saiyan Warriors host Hoarse Whisperers in what could be an intriguing cup tie. Hoarse lead the way at the top of 3-1-1 but Saiyan are having a good season, sitting in 8th place with an ever improving squad. Could an upset be on the cards here?

CONFERENCE THREE CUP ROUND ONE RESULTS
Rathpeacon 1-3 CSI-Ramsgate
Rathpeacon took an early lead but CSI levelled before half time. Two second half goals were enough to put CSI into the next round.
Blue Star Knights 4-1 The Rumour Mill
Routinewin for Blue Star who were 2 up inside 26 minutes. Rumour Mill pulled one back on the stroke of half time but Blue Star proved too good with two more after the beark.
Bucharest Wanderers 0-1 Wizards
A real dogged cup tie here with little quarter given. Wizards struck early in the second half and despite some late scares, held out. The cup defence is up and running.
Saiyan Warriors 1-2 Hoarse Whisperers
Another tight tie, level at the break, Hoarse took the lead on the hour mark. Two very agressive teams in this one, over 40 frees in total 30 of those conceded by Pyscho Saiyan Warriors ;)

CONFERENCE THREE CUP SEMI FINALS
The top four in 3-1-1 meet in the cup semi finals. I dont think that has ever happened before :D
Blue Star Knights vs CSI-Ramsgate
2nd v 3rd in this one. A high quality tie is in score with two excellent teams who strangely have never won the cup but both have come close at different times. One will reach the final, Blus Star might start as favourites but my money is on CSI in this one.
Hoarse Whisperers vs Wizards
Super cup tie in store here. Defending cup champions Wizards travel to league leaders Hoarse Whisperers. This one is impossible to call, surely this will go to extra time?

CONFERENCE 3 CUP SEMI FINALS
Two great semi finals today.
Blue Star Knights 2-1 CSI-Ramsgate
Blue Star Knights are through to the cup final after a nail bitting semi finla victory over CSI-Ramsgate. Blue Star took the lead after 24 minutes and doubled their lead shortly after the restart. CSI make some tactical changes and took control, pulling a goal back after 82 minutes. CSI bombarded the Blue Star goal after that the Blue Star held out.
Hoarse Whisperers vs Wizards
What a game between these two. Hoarse took the lead right on the stroke of half time and looked to be heading to the final. But defending champions Wizards refused to give up their title and equalised after 89 minutes to bring us to extra time. After 111 minutes, Hoarse snatched the winner and will go into the final with the possibility of completing the first half of a league and cup double.
-
good game Brian!! tough as always.
Nij!! how about i take the cup and you get the league ;)
-
Nij having a stellar season so far, well done mate.
We all know though that if I was still in C3, it would be a different story ;D ;D ;D
-
Good chance of a league and cup double this season.
-
Wow, the top two both lost last night.
-
Wow, the top two both lost last night.
well played Cove, i thought you had ended my title run, but that slim flicker of hope remains. although requiring another 2 losses for the Hoarse AND not losing any myself seems unlikely
-
Tough run in for me :)
Lucy kippered me again !
-
It's getting tight now. I play Hoarse tomorrow night. I'll try my best to bring the title race down to the last day. ;)
-
The top six all played other last night and all 3 games ended 0-0
It's been a great 3-1-1 season. Two games to go and the cup final tomorrow. Good luck to both Hoarse and Blue Star.

CONFERENCE THREE CUP FINAL
(http://IT'S CUP FINAL DAY)
Blue Star Knights v Hoarse Whisperers
The top two teams in 3-1-1 meet in today's final and what a final we have in prospect. Both teams could complete the first half of a possible league and cup double. Hoarse lead the way in 3-1-1 with two games to go but have a tough run in so there is still hope for Blue Star. Both teams has beaten each other 1-0 in the league season.
But today is all about the cup. Hoarse won the cup in season in 14. This is Blue Stars second final having lost in season 12. Both sides are in god form, looking forward to a great final.
Paths to the final:
Round one: Blue Star Knights 4-1 The Rumour Mill
Semi final: Blue Star Knights 2-1 CSI-Ramsgate
Round one: Saiyan Warriors 1-2 Hoarse Whisperers
Semi final: Hoarse Whispers 2-1 Wizards

well done Hoarse and crew! i wasn't at the races today but hopefully i can take the conference title to the last day :D

CONFERENCE THREE CUP FINAL
Blue Star Knights 0-1 Hoarse Whisperers
Hoarse Whisperers are cup champions for the second time after a 1-0 win over a gallant Blue Star Knights team. Knights might ask if this is a final they should have won having had 61% possession and 17 shots at goal. But it is goals that win games and Hoarse scored on 69 minutes when Val Crow slotted home after a "lovely one-two cut the home defence in half". Man of the Match Bisceps led the line from the front for Hoarse and even the late dismissal of Yaya Toure didnt spoil the Hoarse party.
The first part of a league and cup double has been achieved. Who would bet against a league and cup double?

Hoarse are favourites to do the league and cup double tonight. That said Wizards are tough opponents and if Red Star score a big win against the computer team, then they could win the league.
Nice to see the league going to the last day.

Conference three cup round one
Rathpeacon vs Saiyan Warriors
Two time winners Rathpeacon entertain Saiyan Warriors. League form makes Rathpeacon favourites but Saiyan could produce a shock here.
The Rumour Mill vs Sandford St Martin
Just one point separates these two in the league. Both would welcome a cup run.
Hoarse Whisperers vs Black Star Knights
Double champions Hoarse Whisperers have a tricky round one tie against Black Star. Black Star will fancy their chances here.
CSI-Ramsgate vs Wizards
Two top teams meet here. CSI have been in great cup form in recent seasons but they will need to be their best to win against high flying Wizards.
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs Bucharest Wanderers
Interesting tie here for top flight Phoenix Pigs against 3-1-4 side Bucharest. A big shock may be in the cards.
Texas Oilers vs Great Yarmouth Town
Two of the lower league sides meet here. A great opportunity for one to make the next round.
Dynamo Valley vs Lucys Wanderers
3-2-2 leaders Dynamo Valley entertain top flight Lucy's Wanderers. Another possible shock is on the cards.
england vs Kilcully
Too flight England entertain lower league Kilcully. England will be favourites to win here.
-
great work Cove!! thank you :D
i think my Black Star team are too "green" at the moment to take on the double champions. Team strength of 709 vs 800 (Hoarse), so if i can get it to ET i'll hope for a random goal ;)
-
Conference three cup round one
Great to have 16 teams in the cup again. Thanks to all who took part today.
Rathpeacon 5-0 Saiyan Warriors
Routine win for the home side.
The Rumour Mill 8-1 Sandford St Martin
Four goals in each half for Rumour Mill who march into round two.
Hoarse Whisperers 2-0 Black Star Knights
A goal in each half was enough for the double champions to start their cup defence in fine style.
CSI-Ramsgate 0-1 Wizards
A great cup tie here with no quarter given. Wizards broke the deadlock midway through the second half and hung on for the win.
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs 3-0 Bucharest Wanderers
Very clinical display from the 3-1-1 side here, giving their lower league opponents no chance to create a shock.
Texas Oilers 0-3 Great Yarmouth Town
A hat trick for Joe King was the difference as Yarmouth storm into round two.
Dynamo Valley 1-2 Lucys Wanderers
Two first half goals put Wanderers in the driving seat but Dynamo scored shortly after the break to set up a tense final twenty minutes.
england 5-0 Kilcully
Easy win for England who start off a cup campaign with a fine display.
-
great work Cove!! thank you :D
i think my Black Star team are too "green" at the moment to take on the double champions. Team strength of 709 vs 800 (Hoarse), so if i can get it to ET i'll hope for a random goal ;)
I only wish I could play my first team more often and then remember to play them in the right positions :)
-
Half way through the season and I'm top :D
Can't believe it. This is my 19th in 3-1-1 . I finished 3rd last season. That was my best season ever. Really surprised to be leading. Would love to still be here in 15 games time but that's probably wishful thinking.
-
I think that is the first time I've ever had a player sent off by Lummox playing normal !
-

Yeah, I looked at that report. You had the same number of sending offs as Saiyan, very very strange one.

CONFERENCE THREE CUP QUARTER FINALS
THE FUN CONTINUES :)
The Rumour Mill vs Rathpeacon
Rumour Mill scored 8 in round one. A win here would be a welcome boost to their season.
england vs Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
England are fighting relegation in 3-1-1 and a cup run could help boost their confidence no end. Phoenix Pigs are just four points off top spot, they will be favourites here.
Great Yarmouth Town vs Hoarse Whisperers
Yarmouth had a great win in round one but face tough opponents in conference king pins Hoarse Whisperers. Home advantage may help.
Lucys Wanderers vs Wizards
The tie of the round. 3rd v 5th in 3-1-1. Impossible to call this one which may go to extra time.
-
CONFERENCE THREE CUP QUARTER FINALS
Some great games today....
The Rumour Mill 0-1 Rathpeacon
Tense cup tie here. Rathpeacon scored in first half stoppage time and held on for a hard fought win.
england 1-5 Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
Clinical display here by Phoenix Pigs who led 5-0 before a late consolation goal for England.
Great Yarmouth Town 2-1 Hoarse Whisperers
The double champions are out after an outstanding effort by Great Yarmouth. The champions led at half time but two second half goals sent Yarmouth through.
Lucys Wanderers 1-2 Wizards
Well I said it could go to extra time and after a 1-1 draw, it did. Wizards got the winner and are now favourites to win another cup.
-
Half way through the season and I'm top :D
Can't believe it. This is my 19th in 3-1-1 . I finished 3rd last season. That was my best season ever. Really surprised to be leading. Would love to still be here in 15 games time but that's probably wishful thinking.

CONFERENCE 3 CUP SEMI FINALS
Cup semi final day, two great games with four teams just 90 minutes away from the big day....
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs Rathpeacon
Both these teams have won the cup twice and both are in great form this season sitting 2nd and 4th in 3-1-1 but with just one point seperating them. This one could need extra time to decide the winner.
Great Yarmouth Town vs Wizards
Great Yarmouth Town are having a solid season in 3-1-4 but they shocked all of conference 3 by beating double champions Hoarse Whisperers in the last round. Today they meet three times cup winners Wizards. Wizards are having a great season and are contending for the 3-1-1 title.

CONFERENCE 3 CUP SEMI FINALS
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs 2-3 Rathpeacon
A real cup cracker. Phoenix Pigs led at the break. Rathpeacon levelled after 63 minutes before Phoenix Pigs regained the lead. Phoenix looked to be heading to the final before an 89th minute equaliser took the game to extra time. Rathpeacon got the golden goal to reach their 6th cup final.
Great Yarmouth Town 0-2 Wizards
Wizards are through their 4th cup final after a strong performance against a very plucky Great Yarmouth Town. Wizards scored on 40 and 60 minutes and kept control of their opponents for long stretches. Great Yarmouth can be proud of their cup run and their famous quarter final victory. it wont be long before they are in 3-1-1.
-
CONFERENCE THREE CUP FINAL DAY
It's cup final day in conference three :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Wizards v Rathpeacon
Two teams in great league form and with pretty decent cup pedigrees go head to head in the conference 3 cup final. Three times cup winners Wizards are appearing in their 5th final while two times cup winners Rathpeacon are appearing in the 6th final. Both teams have been impressive on their run to the final this season with some big wins as well as narrow extra time wins.
The teams sit 2nd and 3rd in 3-1-1. They have met three times this season in the Offical World Cup, the division and FL1. Wizards won the world cup tie while Rathpeacon won the divison and the FL1 game. However, past results count for little in a cup final, this one could go either way.
Path to the final
Round one: CSI-Ramsgate 0 - 1 Wizards
Quarter final: Lucys Wanderers 1 - 2 Wizards
Semi final: Great Yarmouth Town 0 - 2 Wizards
Round one: Rathpeacon 5 - 0 Saiyan Warriors
Quarter final: The Rumour Mill 0 - 1 Rathpeacon

CONFERENCE THREE CUP FINAL
WELL DONE TO WIZARDS, CONFERENCE 3 CUP CHAMPIONS FOR THE 4TH TIME
Wizards 1-0 Rathpeacon
Wizards are conference 3 cup champions after an extra time victory over Rathpeacon. This was one of the closest finals ever. Both teams had 50% possesion. Rathpeacon had 20 shots and Wizards had 21 and that 21st shot was the one that broke the deadlock and Rathpeacon hearts after 111 minutes.
Well done to Wizards on a 4th title. Wizards join Purple Gelato at the top of the roll of honour.

well done today, 4 cup wins is a great total.

The league goes to the last day of the season but in reality, Hoarse has it won. 3 points clear and +19 better goals difference.
Well done Hoarse, you are still the best team in the league.
I'm delighted to finish second. Last season I was 3rd which was the highest I ever did in 3-1-1. My only two losses were to Hoarse so I can say I went a season unbeaten against everyone else. ;) First time I have ever really competed to win a 3-1-1 title and I've enjoyed it.

Saiyan took the lead against me for the second time this season.
He could be up there if he stopped the Psycho business !
Which reminds me. Another name in the book ....

You beat me twice, that was the difference and makes you deserving champions. Can't have any arguments on that but I'm happy to finish second, never done that before.

CONFERENCE 3 CUP ROUND ONE
It's season 20 of the conference 3 cup and 16 teams have signed up to try and win the cup. We kick off tomorrow with 8 great ties.....
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR ENTERING AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL
Rathpeacon vs Green Ducks
Last year's finalists Rathpeacon have a home tie agaisnt 3-2-1 leaders Green Ducks. Rathpeacon are on a terrible run losing 5 of their last 6 league games. The Ducks are unbeaten this season and will fancy their chances here.
The Rumour Mill vs Wizards
Possibly the tie of the round. Rumour Mill entertain the cup champions and current 3-1-1 leaders Wizards. Rumour Mill are on a good run with 6 league wins on the spin. They will need to be at their very best to win this one.
Toon Legends vs Dynamo Valley
Two lower league sides meet here in a tie that means one will be in the cup quarter finals and a potential big tie. Both teams are leading their divisions, 3-2-1 an 3-2-2 and on paper, little seperates them. This may need extra time.
CSI-Ramsgate vs Saiyan Warriors
An all top flight tie here. CSI have never won the cup but have come close on a few ocassions. Saiyan have been improving in recent seasons but have struggled this time round. Both teams could do with a good cup run. CSI will be favourites.
Black Star Knights vs Sandford St Martin
Another top flight tie as Black Star entertain Sandford St Martin. Black Star are enjoying a strong season and are second in 3-1-1. Sandford are having a mixed season but still could make the top 8. Black Star will expect to win but this could go either way.
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs Dirtbox United
A potential banana skin tie for MMMMRS Phoenix Pigs. MMMMRS are having a strong season but Dirtbox are on a strong run and are second in 3-2-1. They will give a good game here but may not have enough firepower to knock out their seasoned opposition.
Great Yarmouth Town vs Hoarse Whisperers
A massive tie for Great Yarmouth as conference 3 kingpins Hoarse Whisperers come to town. Yarmouth are in great form and will surely make things difficult for their elite opponents but it's hard to see them stopping Hoarse in this one.
Texas Oilers vs england
Possibly one of the more intriguing ties. Texas Oilers of 3-2-1 enterian england of 3-1-1. Oilers will start as underdogs but england have struggled in the league this season and this tie could be a potential banana skin. England are just above the relegation zone, a cup run might boost their prospects of keeping their 3-1-1 status.

Some great ties in round today
Rathpeacon 2 - 0 Green Ducks
A goal in each half was enough to put Rathpeacon through to the round against a very plucky Green Ducks.
The Rumour Mill 0 - 4 Wizards
Defending champions Wizards led by one at the break but hit top gear in the second half in a display showing their intent is to retain their title.
Toon Legends 0 - 7 Dynamo Valley
Big win for Dynamo Valley here. Two up at the break, they scored for fun after the break.
CSI-Ramsgate 5 - 0 Saiyan Warriors
CSI's cup campaign got off to a great start with a 5 goal win today. Could this be their yeat?
Black Star Knights 0 - 1 Sandford St Martin
Big shock in this one as 3-1-1 second placed Black Star lose at home. Sandford took a deserved lead on the hour mark and held on for a famous win.
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs 8 - 0 Dirtbox United
Clinical performance from Phoenix Pigs here who ruthlessly dispatched their lower league opponents.
Great Yarmouth Town 0 - 1 Hoarse Whisperers
A huge effort from Great Yarmouth here and for an hour, it looked that a fairytale result may be possible. However, Hoarse scored on the hour to break the home side's hearts.
Texas Oilers 0 - 2 england
A great cup tie here. England took the lead just before half time. Texas pushed hard for an equaliser after the break but an 87th minute second goal was enough to see England through.
Thanks to everyone for playing.

Always happy to run the cup. Would love to see some more conference 3 talk here. Hopefully some of the new players who played today will say hello. Turns out that the lower divisions in conference 3 has some very good players.

Hi, been around a few seasons with my main side Texas Oldham in C6. Been using my Oiler’s side as an experimental side for training purposes, it’s due some player investment v soon & hopefully be competitive in 4/5 seasons time. Til then I’ll keep entering them in C3 competitions but won’t be expecting to do too much. Any freak result will be a bonus for me

Great to have you in C3. Maybe you might have a think about joining 3-1-1? It's a great league, we lost a couple of teams recently so there are some slots available.

CONFERENCE 3 CUP QUARTER FINALS
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs Dynamo Valley
Mmmrs had a huge win in round one and are on a very good run of league wins. Dynamo Valley were equally impressive in round one but will be underdogs here.
CSI-Ramsgate vs Wizards
The tie of the round. Wizards are cup champions and are leading 3-1-1. They started the defence of their cup title with a huge win away to Rumour Mill. CSI had a good 5-0 win over Saiyan and are very decent league form. They will will be a big test for the champions.
Rathpeacon vs england
Interesting tie here. Rathpeacon have had an up and down season. A run of 5 straight leage defeats was ended by their first round victory and they have won twice in the league since. England are just about the drop zone in 3-1-1 but won had a very good in their first round match.
Sandford St Martin vs Hoarse Whisperers
Sandford had a famous victory in round one, upsetting the odds to knock out Black Star. Today they have another tough tie. Hoarse narrowly won in round one but are on a good run in the league. They will be favourites to make the semi finals.
-
CONFERENCE 3 CUP QUARTER FINALS
Some great ties today. Thanks again to everyone for playing.
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs 2-0 Dynamo Valley
A super cup tie here. Level at the break but two second half goals sent Mmmrs through.
CSI-Ramsgate 0-1 Wizards
A tight encounter throughout with little to seperate the sides. A 66th minute goal put the champions through.
Rathpeacon 6-2 england
Real entertaining tie here with goals aplenty. Rathpeacon scored more and go through to the semi final.
Sandford St Martin 1-0 Hoarse Whisperers
Another big scalp for Sandford. They have now beaten 2nd and 3rd in 3-1-1 and are now surely contenders for the title.
-
Yep, Well done Sandford, No excuses from me :)

Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs Rathpeacon
Mmmrs entertain Rathpeacon in a game where Mmmrs will start as favourites. Rathpeacon have had a poor season so far. Mmmrs have been contending for the 3-1-1 title and will fancy their chances of reaching a cup final.
Wizards vs Sandford St Martin
Defending champions and potential double chasing Wizards entertain Sandford St Martin. Sandford have been the team of the competition so far beating Blue Star and Hoarse en route to the semi finals. Can they cause another upset?

CONFERENCE 3 CUP SEMI FINALS
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs 1-0 Rathpeacon
A tight semi final but Mmmrs were always the better team, dominating posession and creating the bulk of the chances. A 60th minute goal was enough to reach the final. The two times will fancy their chances of a third cup title.
Wizards 2-0 Sandford St Martin
Sandford's fairy tale is over but they gave the champions a real scare having had most of the possession and matching Wizards for chances. However, Wizards proved why they are the defending champions scoring a goal in each half. Can they defend their title?
-
CONFERENCE 3 CUP FINAL
Two top teams play todays cup final as 3rd v 4th in 3-1-1 meet.
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs Wizards
Defending cup champions Wizards are 90 minutes away from defending their cup title, a feat done only once in the history of the cup. Wizards can also win the league title, so this could be one step towards a possible double.
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs have had a great season to date and with two games to go, they still have a mathematical chance of winning the league title.
Mmmrs have won the cup twice, Wizards have won four times. Both sides have yet to concede a goal in the cup this season. They have met twice in the league with Wizards winning 1-0 on each occasion. This game will be tight. Best of luck to both.

CONFERENCE 3 CUP FINAL
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs 2-1 Wizards
After extra time
What a final! One of the best in the 20 season history of the cup and Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs are cup champions for the 3rd time. 38 shots, 41 fouls and 3 goals kept everyone eyes on this tie. The first half was even all the way through until Telly Vision broke the deadlock for Mmmrs right on the stroke of half time. Wizards fought hard for an equaliser and after 82 minutes, the finally levelled through Hayden Seek. The game went to extra time, both sides had chances but after 111 minutes Ulee Daway's shot found the next and Mmmrs were cup champions.
Well done Mmmrs, hard luck Wizards, you nearly defended the title :) and thanks to everyone for playing this season

Ahh --- A gambling man, perchance ;-). Nah, I've seen many a hot favourite collapse (or fall foul of the game's foibles) but not three of them as I would need :-). Not complaining though, this squad has still got a lot of improvement to come in the next 3 or 4 seasons and a top four finish, Conference cup win and a place in the Elite cup final is much more than I expected this time around. I hope all three enjoy the worry ;D ;D ;D
-
Well done Black Star Knights, 3-1-1 champions must sound nice.
That was a great season. Wizards, Hoarse and Mmmrs should be proud of themselves also. I lost my battle with Brian for 5th place but I'm happy to have qualified for TEL for next season.
Doesnt this game change fast, I was second in 3-1-1 last season and won TCL and this season I am delighted to finished 6th ;D
-
that one came in under the radar, and ranks as one of my all time favourite x11 wins :D great season guys, it was one heck of a title fight!!

and it wouldn't surprise me if we swapped places next season in the league, as we did this time! C3 is truly competitive :D
-
Just put my Oilers side into 3-1-1, it’s going to take 3/4 seasons to get competitive but looking forward to the odd upset along the way (hopefully 🤞).
-
welcome :-) it’s a fun division! look forward to it 😬
-
Great to see a new team in 3-1-1.Welcome and good luck.
-
Interesting start to the season. The top 8 have all opened up a big lead over the rest. 7 teams have 9 points, Rumour Mill have 7, hope the chasing pack close the gap soon but it's great to see lots of teams challenging at the top.

CONFERENCE 3 CUP ROUND ONE
The cup is finally starting, thanks to everyone for entering and best of luck to you all.
Rathpeacon vs Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
The defending champions travel to Rathpeacon for the start of their cup defence. Mmmmrs are in great league form and currently sit 2nd in 3-1-1. Rathpeacon are having a terrible season and have lost their last 5 league games. The champions will be expected to win this one.
Saiyan Warriors vs Texas Oilers
All top flight clash here. Both sides are in mid table in 3-1-1 and would welcome a good cup run. One will get that wish here, will home advantage be enough for Saiyan to shade it?
Black Star Knights vs Wizards
The tie of the round, 3-1-1 leaders Black Star take on 3rd placed Wizards. Black Star have never won the cup while Wizards have 4 cup titles. A win here would be a good start to a first title and maybe a league and cup double?
Dynamo Valley vs Hoarse Whisperers
Dynamo Valley of 3-2-3 host top flight opposition in Hoarse Whisperers. Hoarse are C3's top side but are having a mediocre season by their high standards. Dynamo's young side is getting better each season, could they cause a potential upset here?
Dirtbox United vs The Chocolatiers
First and second in 3-1-4 meet here. The Chocolatiers won the league tie between these earlier in the season and interestingly enough, they meet in the league tonight and in the cup tomorrow. They might be sick of each then. ;) Good luck to both.
CSI-Ramsgate vs Great Yarmouth Town
CSI have a home tie against 3-1-2 leaders Great Yarmouth Town. CSI have never won the cup but are sitting in 4th place in 3-1-1. Great Yarmouth are having a good season, they will start as underdogs but will fancy their chances of causing an upset.
Sandford St Martin vs Filler Team One
Sandford are sitting 7th in 3-1-1 and playing some good football. They play one of the filler teams here and will expect to win this one by a cricket score :)
Kilcully vs We Play Like Girls
In the bottom game, Kilcully play the second filler team and will be expected to come through this one.
-
awesome work and write up cove! i feel i’m due a cup run, maybe even strong a win or two. Then I saw I'm in 2 and now and I have wizards 😂

I think you got the toughest draw. Teams at the bottom have it easy in round one against my filler teams. I suppose its the luck of the draw. I got Mmmmrs so my campaign will be short :D

All too easy for Sandford agaisnt the filler team. Tougher challenges lie ahead.

CONFERENCE 3 CUP QUARTER FINALS
No preview as the forum was broken but here are the reports:
Kilcully 0 - 2 Sandford St Martin
Sandford were always on top in this one and will rue a hatful of missed chances. However a goal in each half was enough for a comfrtable win.
The Chocolatiers 0 - 4 CSI-Ramsgate
A second big cup win for CSI who dominating this cup tie with 70% possession. Two goals in either half was more than enough.
Rathpeacon 2 - 1 Hoarse Whisperers
Second cup shock for Rathpeacon this season. Both teams had 21 shots and shared possession 51 to 49. Rathpeacon struck in extra time to reach the semi finals.
Black Star Knights 3 - 0 Saiyan Warriors
Black Star will be favourites to win a first cup and maybe a league and cup double after a quality performance. Saiyan worked hard but resistance crumbled in the second half.
-
all of the other 3 teams have taken league points off me 😝 would love a first cup win though! i already erred and let green star beat black star in the icc final, so some solace is required
-
CONFERENCE 3 CUP SEMI FINALS
I'll post the preview now because the forum might not be working tomorrow :D
Sandford St Martin vs CSI-Ramsgate
Two teams enjoying excellent seasons meet in semi final one. Sanford are currently 6th in 3-1-1 and are on course for one of their best seasons ever. CSI are 3rd in 3-1-1 and still have an outside chance of winning the league title. Neither side has won the cup before, this one will be tight but the bookies have made CSI the slight favourites.
Black Star Knights vs Rathpeacon
Black Star are having a tremendous season. They currently lead 3-1-1 on goal difference and are one game away from a cup final. Rathpeacon are having one of their worst seasons ever, struggling to finish in the top 8 of 3-1-1 and relegated from FL1. However, they've taken two big scalps already in the cup this season, could they take a third? The bookies say no ;)
-

I'd love to see you win a cup title too, also be nice to see Brian win it with CSI, he's come close once or twice. Would not begrudge Sandford a cup, he is the most improved team in 3-1-1.
Of course, I'd prefer to win myself more ;D
-
well done Sandford, those 5 points i dropped in our 2 games could prove critical :P I look forward to tussling with you again next season :D

CONFERECE 3 CUP SEMI FINALS
Two great semi finals today and we will have a final between two teams who have never won the cup before. New champions will be crowned :D
Sandford St Martin 1-4 CSI-Ramsgate
CSI have been the most impressive team in this season's cup and they continued that form today. They took an early 2-0 lead in this one but Sandford refused to give in and got one back before half time. CSI scored twice more after the break in what was a very clinical performance. Will they win their first cup title?
Black Star Knights 2-1 Rathpeacon
Black Star are through to a first Conference 3 cup final but they were made to work hard by a plucky Rathpeacon side :D Black Star took the lead early on and despite having more chances, they failed to add to their advantage. Rathpeacon levelled with 8 minutes to go to take the tie to extra time. Black Star scored one minute into extra time to reach a deserved final.

Conference three cup final
Another great season ends, thanks to everyone for taking part
Black Star Knights 1-0 CSI-Ramsgate
Cup finals are often tight and tense affairs and this was one of those. Both sides played attacking from the outset and effectively cancelled each out. A tactical change by Black Star on the hour mark brought an immediate breakthrough when man of the match Robin Banks scored with a flick on. CSI pushed hard for an equaliser but Black Star held on to win a first cup title.
Commiserations to Brian and well done to Knight Stars.

I think I have only ever topped the league after a few games once before in my 20 seasons in the top flight so, apologies for any gloating. I just want to enjoy this for however long it lasts. ;)

I'm beginning to think Dave is right...

Yeah that was really weird, I had one sent off but the sending offs cost you the game. You would have beaten me. Sorry Nijinsky.
On an aside, I think the game is nuts, I finished 9th in 3-1-1 last season, now I am top of 3-1-1 after 10 games. My team has some new players who have improved a little but not to that extent. I have no idea how I finished 9th last season and I have no idea how I could possibly be top now. :-\
-
Not your fault Eamonn :)
The game against Brian was worse..
The M.E says it's your turn this season
-
That's my run well and truly ended, I rarely ever beat MMMRS :)
-
My slim hopes of challenging for the title were well and truly crushed by Lucy last night, I'm down to 5th now.
MMRS and Wizards are having a great battle for the title.
-
Instead of worrying about winning in Friendlies, I have been putting all my non-first-Choices (lower morale and poor or zero gelling) into each day's Friendly and then playing weird ATs that I would normally consider crazy and have actually won quite a few games???

Sounds good Dave.
Last season I finished 8th in 3-1-1 having been 3rd the two previous seasons. I dont understand why I was so bad last season.
After 13 games this season, I was leading 3-1-1. My team wasn't that much better and I don't understand how I could possibly be leading. Sine then, I have lost 4 of my last 5 games. It makes no sense at all. I'm getting really annoyed now
-
5 games to go and just 2 points seperates the top 3. This is one of the best title races for a long time.

Conference three cup round one
A later start than usual this season but good luck everyone
CSI-Ramsgate vs Rathpeacon
CSI are 4th in 3-1-1 and Rathpeacon are 5th but 11 points separate the sides. CSI won their recent league tie and will be favourites here.
Black Star Holiday vs Wizards
Another top flight tie here as Black host league title chasing Wizards. Black have had a mediocre league campaign and a cup run would be a welcome boost. However Wizards will fancy a win here.
Dynamo Valley vs Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
The defending champions have been handed a tricky away fixture against lower league opposition. 3-2-2 side Dynamo Valley are improving all the time. They will be hard to break down but in the end Mmmrs should have enough firepower to come through.
Sandford St Martin vs Dirtbox United
3-1-3 side Dirtbox have promotion secured and are going for a league title. A cup run would make this a memorable season. Standing in their way are Sandford who are mid table in 3-1-1. With little to play for in the league, they can focus on the cup.
-
Conference three cup round one
CSI-Ramsgate 2-1 Rathpeacon
Rathpeacon took the lead in this one but CSI leveled before half time. They took the lead on the hour and controlled the game from there.
Black Star Holiday 2-1 Wizards
Perhaps a shock result here. Wizards led from early in the first half. Black Star leveled with twelve minutes to go and scored in extra time to record a famous win.
Dynamo Valley 4-0 Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs
The defending champions were smashed by Dynamo Valley. Two goals in each half were enough for the 3-2-2 side who will have raised a lot of eyebrows with this result.
Sandford St Martin 10-0 Dirtbox United
All too easy for a very clinical Sanford in this one. Leading by three at he break, the floodgates opened in the second half.
-
Well done Wizards. Seems a long time since the last one ... :)
-
Thanks mate, it has been a while since the last one!! :D
-
Well done Wizards, well deserved and a great season from Hoarse and Mmmmrs too. C3 is still one of the top conferences.
-
well done Globus! deserved title buddy
-
Conference three cup semi finals
Cup semi final day tomorrow. 4 teams are 90 minutes from the big day, Good luck all
Sandford St Martin v Dynamo Valley
Intriguing game here. Sandford had a great first half to the league season but indifferent form in the second part of the season saw them slip down to 10th in 3-1-1. Dynamo were awesome in winning 3-2-2 but their opposition was no where near Sandford's standard. A big day out awaits one of these sides. Extra time may be needed.
CSI-Ramsgate v Black Star Holiday
Two stalwarts of 3-1-1 meet here as CSI entertain the defending cup champions Black Star. Black Star beat 3-1-1 winners Wizards in round one but they have had a poor league season finishing 9th. CSI had a strong league season finishing in 4th place. League form and home advantage could be enough for CSI to edge this one.
-
Thanks for the mentions guys. On to the next one.....
:D
-
Conference three cup semi finals
Sandford St Martin 2-0 Dynamo Valley
Sandford were always the better side here against a well organised and determined Dynamo Valley side. Sandford took the leas after 30 minutes and while they were on top through out, it wasnt until the 87th minute that Sandford made sure of their place i the final for the first time.
CSI-Ramsgate 0-1 Black Star Holiday
A classic cup tie here. Both sides gave it everything but neither could break the deadlock in normal time. Extra time was needed and for a while it looked that penalties might be needed but a moment of magic from Stan Dup broke the deadlock. The champions are through, can they make it back to back cup titles?
-
my bogey team! beat me 4/6 times in the last 3 seasons (and 1 draw)

CONFERENCE THREE CUP FINAL
First time finalists play the defending champions in what is an intriguing final.
Sandford St Martin vs Black Star Knights
The final might be taking place late but we have a great game in store that was well worth waiting for. Defending cup champions Black Star Knights are 90 minutes away from becoming just the second side to successfully defend the cup. In their way are Sandford St Martin who have yet to concede a goal in this years cup campaign.
This one could go either way, good luck to both sides.
Paths to the final
Quarter final: Sandford St Martin 10-0 Dirtbox United
Quarter final: Black Star Knights 2-1 Wizards
Semi final: Sandford St Martin 2-0 Dynamo Valley
Semi final: CSI-Ramsgate 0-1 Black Star Knights

CONFERENCE 3 CUP FINAL
Sandford St Martin 0-1 Black Star Knights
Congratulation to Black Star Knights who have become just the second team ever to successfully defend the conference 3 cup. This was tense final from the kick off and while Black Star dominated the possession, Sandford defended resolutely throughout. The dead lock was broke on 53 minutes when Brighton Early scored with deft arse flick to the net :D Sandford fought hard for an equaliser but Back Star held on for a famoud victory.
Well done Black Star and thanks to everyone for playing

Yeah, that was a big blunder on my part. Thought I had logged in, when I saw the result, I couldnt believe it. I've made a terrible start to the season, just 5 points so far.
-
5 points from 7 games. 12th placed. Ok, one night i forgot to set up but seriously, WTF!
This game has gone crazy. I just won the cider league for my first time ever and at the same time I am one place above relegation >:(
I'm not expecting the challenge for the 3-1-1 title but I do expect to be a top 6 team this season not looking over my shoulder at relegation.
-
Hello all,
The conference 3 cup is open to entries. I sent passwords out to every active account in conference 3 yesterday. 13 of the 16 places have been filled so don't be shy, we only need 3 more to join and the fun can begin :D
-
Conference 3 cup round one
Season 23 of the cup gets underway on Tuesday. 14 teams entered and 2 filler teams were added to get to 16.
The very best of luck to everyone and thanks for playing.
Rathpeacon vs Parma Violets
Two top flight teams currently in mid table meet here. A cup run could be just what is needed to kick start their seasons.
Hoarse Whisperers vs Lucys Wanderers
Hoarse entertain Lucy in what could be a very interesting tie. League form would favour Hoarse but Lucy's Wanderers could cause an upset here.
Great Yarmouth Town vs Wizards
The top two in 3-1-1 meet in what is the tie of the round. Yarmouth have made rapid progress over the past two seasons. Wizards will need to be at their very best in this one.
Black Star Knights vs Saiyan Warriors
Three in a row chasing Black Star host Saiyan as they begin their cup defence. Always competitive opposition, Saiyan will test the champions' credentials.
CSI-Ramsgate vs Sandford St Martin
CSI entertain last seasons beaten finalists Sandford. Both teams are enjoying good league seasons but a league title is probably beyond them. The cup offers both a chance to win some silverware.
The Rumour Mill vs SatinStorm
Top flight Rumour Mill entertain Satonstorm of 3-2-4. Rumour Mill have been having mixed league form of late. The lower league outfit might fancy their chances here.
Dirtbox United vs Kilcully
Dirtbox have enjoyed some great cup upsets over recent seasons. They will be favourites to beat Kilcully.
We Play Like Girls vs Filler Team One
The two filler teams meet here. The winners get to be hammered in the round. :D
-
Conference 3 cup round one results
Some interesting results today, the fun continues later in the week.
Rathpeacon 2-0 Parma Violets
A goal in each half was enough to send Rathpeacon through to round two.
Hoarse Whisperers 3-1 Lucys Wanderers
An even first half saw the teams level at half time. Two second half goals saw the Whisperers through.
Great Yarmouth Town 2-0 Wizards
A goal in each half was enough to send Yarmouth into round two.
Black Star Knights 2-1 Saiyan Warriors
Big scare for the champions who were behind with just ten minutes to go. A late equaliser brought the game to extra time and the champions showed their class to progress.
CSI-Ramsgate 0-2 Sandford St Martin
Sandford took the lead on the stroke of half time. A goal in the last quarter gave them the cushion they needed to progress.
The Rumour Mill 5-6 SatinStorm
WHAT A GAME!!! 2-2 at the break, 5-5 at full time, Satin edged in extra time to produce a famous win.
Dirtbox United 1-6 Kilcully
A big shock here, Kilcully played out of their skins to progress.
We Play Like Girls 13-16 Filler Team One
The two filler teams gave us plenty of entertainment. 8-7 at half time, 16-13 at full time, it would have been a decent score in a rugby game!!!!
-
shew! squeaked through there :P may my luck continue :D
Yarmouth is having a stellar season! Is this someone's second team, or a new individual strong force?

actually it's my third team after UNIV. CRAIOVA and Chambly FC ... I find very difficult to set up the tactics for all three ... I don't know how you manage Nish with eight teams ... also Brian with his CSI francise

Always great to see new blood in C3. It has always been one of the most competitive conferences, another title contending side is very welcome.

Conference 3 cup quarter finals
Cup quarter finals take place tomorrow. Good to all.
Kilcully vs Filler Team One
Kilcully had an unexpected win in the first round. They will be favourites to beat the filler team here.
Hoarse Whisperers vs Rathpeacon
Flying high in the league, Hoarse will be favourites in this one.
Great Yarmouth Town vs Sandford St Martin
The current leagues leaders host last season's cup finalists in the tie of the round
SatinStorm vs Black Star Knights
Lower league Satinstorm host the three in row chasing Black Star Knights. A tricky tie for the champions.
-
Conference 3 cup quarter finals
Kilcully 22-2 Filler Team One
Kilcully were far too good for the filler team and are through to a first ever semi final.
Hoarse Whisperers 2-1 Rathpeacon
Rathpeacon had more chances and more of the possession but Hoarse are a quality team and they led for most of the game. Rathpeacon levelled late on but Hoarse won in extra time.
Great Yarmouth Town 1-0 Sandford St Martin
Great Yarmouth Town's cup journey continues as their pursue a league and cup double. However Sandford made it tough for them and Yarmouth needed extra to progress.
SatinStorm 0-10 Black Star Knights
The champions made a big statement in this one with a very impressive victory. 5 goals in each half were more than enough.
-
I got away with one there !
System crashed and I couldn't get back in. Hence the wrong boots :)
-
Well that makes me feel even better then ;)
-
Conference 3 cup semi finals
Cup semi finals are on Moday, there is one outstanding tie to look forward while the champions should have an easy path to a third straight final.....
Kilcully vs Black Star Knights
The champions were in awesome form in the last round. Kilcully had a good win in round one and beat the filler team in round two. Their cup fairytale will end here.
Hoarse Whisperers vs Great Yarmouth Town
It is 1st v 2nd in 3-1-1 here. C3 kingpins Hoarse Whisperers entertain C3 new boys Great Yarmouth. This one could go all the way, both sides will have a possible league and cup double on their minds.
-
Conference 3 cup semi finals
Kilcully 2-17 Black Star Knights
Another big win for the champions who have reched their third final in a row. Can they make it 3 wins out of 3?
Hoarse Whisperers 1-0 Great Yarmouth Town
Another narrow win for Hoarse, is their name already carved on the cup? Just like in the quarter final, Hoarse had less possession and less shots. Yet again, Hoarse proved to be more clinicial, snatching a late winner to make the final.
-
Conference 3 cup final day
It's cup final day in conference 3 and what a great final we have to look forward to, good luck to both teams.
Black Star Knights vs Hoarse Whisperers
The defending cup champions, Black Star Knights, are looking to win a third cup title in a row, something that has never been done before. Their opponents are conference 3 kingpins, Hoarse Whisperers who are currently sitting 2nd in 3-1-1, just one point off the lead. The sides have met just once in the league this season, a game that ended 1-1.
Their paths to the final could not be more different. Hoarse have grounded out 3 tight wins including 2 in extra time. The champions have been devastating scoring 29 goals in their three games. Today's tie is likely to be close, will that favour Whisperers?
Paths to the final
Round one Hoarse Whisperers 3 - 1 Lucys Wanderers
Quarter final Hoarse Whisperers 2 - 1 Rathpeacon
Semi final Hoarse Whisperers 1 - 0 Great Yarmouth Town
Round one Black Star Knights 2 - 1 Saiyan Warriors
Quarter final SatinStorm 0 - 10 Black Star Knights
Semi final Kilcully 2 - 17 Black Star Knights

Conference 3 cup final
Black Star Knights 0-1 Hoarse Whisperers AET
What a final. Sometimes finals can be drab affairs but this game had almost everything except a goal until deep into extra time. 48 shots in total and almost even on possession, there was nothing between these two teams. Hoarse will thank the man of the match display from their goalkeeper. After 111 minutes, they got the winning goal after Chris Musampha21 scored after a pigeon distracted the goalkeeper.
Well done Hoarse on a third cup title, hard luck to Black Star. This is your first cup defeat since season 20, an incredible run.
Thanks to everyone for playing.

well played hoarsey ☺ï¸
and thank you cove, for running this and all the write ups 😬😬
-
Little twist in the title race last night, sorry Yarmouth but you've met me on my best C3 run for a long time. I've gone 10 games unbeaten after a disastrous first half of the season. I play Hoarse in the last game of the season so I'll do my best to influence the title race some more :D
-
it was my mistake Cove, I forgot to make those 1st minute changes and found myself with 3 low moral players and also few percentage low in gelling. But this makes the title battle more interesting ... hope see you more involved next season ;)

I play Hoarse in the last game of the season so if you can close the gap, it could be an interesting end to the season. Hoarse is chasing a leage and cup double now.
-
Cheers Cove & Nish.
Always nice to win finals :)
-
Well done Nijinsky on wining the league and cup double. An excellent achievement. It's been a great title race this season, Wizards and Yarmouth had great seasons too.
-
Enjoyed that season. Congrats Nijinsky on the Double and thanks Cove for running the Cup for us - adds to the C3 experience.
Will take 4th after only winning 1 of my first 7! :o Gets me into TCL, whether that it is enough for the UCB selectors, we'll see!
-
well done Hoarse! amazing season :D
hopefully i can challenge a bit more next season, my lot seem destined for mid-table 😂
-
Congrats Nijinsky, strong performance ... you're the man
-
Cheers Guys.
Nip and tuck all season.
Schoolboy error cost me in the TCL today though Mihai !
-
yep, noticed that ... I've been there buddy ... I scrapped at least two games this season like this
-
Congrats Hoarsie
Well deserved!!
Cheers
Globus
-
Well done on the Elite Wizz- Always difficult to win a major.
-
Well done Wizards, another endorsement of how strong C3 is.
-
Thanks chaps :D
-
Globus, I'm taking that scabby win last night as revenge for the Elite Cup extra time goal from last weekend!
-
Haha! Yes, sorry about the Elite Cup but you've revenge that perfectly!! 😊😊😊
-
Another loss to Saiyan last night, I think he beaten me 5 times out our last 6 league gaes, very much my bogey team right now.

Great start to the UCB fellow C3’ers!
Hope I don’t let you down as go through with my defence in declining rapidly!

I'm on the last kickings as well :)

Doesn't look like C1 or C2 are going anywhere though so no resting on our laurels . . .

CONFERENCE 3 CUP

The defending double champions open their cup campaign at home to Rathpeacon. Rathpeacon won their league encounter two days ago, can the champions gain revenge today?
Great Yarmouth Town vs Saiyan Warriors
4th in 3-1-1 play 7th in what could be the tie of the round. Home advantage might give Yarmouth the edge.
Wizards vs SatinStorm
SatinsStorm of 3-2-3 travel to one of C3s top teams. Wizards will be favourites but expect SatinStorm to put up some stern resistance.
sMAshEd vs Parma Violets
Big day here for sMashEd as they welcome 3-1-1 leage leaders. Parma will be favourites but again, they may be made sweat before they get over the line in this one.

Little Kilcully welcome top flight Lucy's Wanderers. Wanderers will be hot favourites to make it to round two.
CSI-Ramsgate vs The Rumour Mill
An all top flight tie here. CSI at currently 6th and will be favourites however, Rumour Mill might fancy their chnces of a cup run starting here.
Dirtbox United vs Sandford St Martin
Another all top flight tie. Dirtbox are currently in a relegation battle while Sandford currently sit in the top half. Both would welcome a cup run, this one might need extra time.
Black Star Knights vs Filler Team One
Black Star Knights have won the cup twice in the last three seasons but now find themselves second in 3-1-2. They have an easy start to this years campaign agaisnt the filler team.
-

Some huge shocks today, 3 of the top 4 teams in 3-1-1 beaten in round one!!!!!
Thanks to everyone for taking part, best of the luck to the winners in the next round.
Hoarse Whisperers 0 - 2 Rathpeacon
The defending champions are out after a two goal win for Rathpeacon. They'll be dancing in the streets of Rathpeacon after this famouns win :D
Great Yarmouth Town 1 - 2 Saiyan Warriors
Incredible cup tie in this one. Yarmouth led until first half injury time. No goals after the break took the tie to extra time, Saiyan struck late to win.
Wizards 9 - 0 SatinStorm
An easy win for Wizards here as their class showed against lower leage SatinStorm.
sMAshEd 2 - 1 Parma Violets
Massive shock here but a deserved win for sMAshEd. Violets took the lead after 56 minutes but sMAshEd levelled on 80 and won in extra time.
Kilcully 0 - 10 Lucys Wanderers
Clinical performance from Lucys Wanderers here, 5 goals in each half for a perfect cup campaign start.
CSI-Ramsgate 2 - 1 The Rumour Mill
Scoreless aat the break, the game came to life after half time. CSI scored twice but a late Rumour Mill goal made for a tense finish.
Dirtbox United 0 - 5 Sandford St Martin
A tight first half hour but after that Sandford showed their class to run out easy winners.
Black Star Knights 25 - 0 Filler Team One
Easy win for Black Star against the Filler Team.
-
Had a bad feeling all day about that game against Smashed! Not enough 'data' to be able to research them beforehand so went in almost blind with my tactics.
Meanwhile, whilst we were all being knocked out of the Cup, we did manage another 12 out of 12 points in the UCB . . . ! 8)

Last nights results shake things up a bit and make for an exciting title race! :o

C3 cup quarter finals
Black Star Knights vs Lucys Wanderers
Black Star had an easy round one win over the filler team. Today will prove to be a much bigger challenge against a Lucys Wanderers side who impressed in round one.
Wizards vs Sandford St Martin
Wizards have been great form in the league lately and will hope to continue that good form. Sandford are battling to make the top 8. A win here may help that cause.
Rathpeacon vs Saiyan Warriors
Saiyan seem to win every time these two meet recently both in the league and FL2. They'll start as favourites to make the semi finals.
sMAshEd vs CSI-Ramsgate
Round one giantkillers sMshEd host CSI in what could be the tie of the round. Can they pull off another shock agaisnt a top flight side?
-
Last nights results shake things up a bit and make for an exciting title race! :o
Absolutely, four teams in contention now, should be a great run in from here
-
Ouch, sorry C3’ers - let you down there today. 1 point in 2 days in the UCB! Nightmare having all home fixtures first half of the season and then all away . . .
-
C3 cup quarter finals
Black Star Knights 0-3 Lucys Wanderers
Lucy's Wanderers continued their impressive cup run with a clinical display away to Black Star Knights. Two first half goals put them in control before they made sure midway through the second half.
Wizards 1-0 Sandford St Martin
Nothing between these sides for much of the first half save for a 28th minute goal by Wizards. Sandford dominated after that, controlling possession and creating a bucketful of chances but the equaliser never came.
Rathpeacon 2-0 Saiyan Warriors
A rare Rathpeacon win over Saiyan. An early goal put Rathpeacon in front Saiyan threatened to level but Rathpeacon made sure on 76 minutes.
sMAshEd 1-0 CSI-Ramsgate
The sMshEd fairlytale continues as they beat top flight opposition again. A goal on the stroke of half time was enough. CSI dominated the possession but could not find an equaliser.
-
Big response today, another 12 out of 12! 8)
Could be a big day with C1 and C2 getting 7 and 6 points respectively!
Huge 1-0 from our friends in Great Yarmouth against old C3 rivals Purple Gelato which could turn out to be a pivotal result come three days time . . . !
-
Conference cup semi finals
Semi final day - 90 minutes away from the big day out, good luck all.
Lucys Wanderers vs Wizards
Two teams in the top six of 3-1-1 meet here. Lucys Wanderers are enjoying one of their best seasons in recent times and have been in awesome form in the cup so far. Wizards are the cup favourites but will have to be at their very best to win here.
Rathpeacon vs sMAshEd
sMAshEd have been the story of this season's cup win two great wins over top flight opposition. Today they travel to Rathpeacon, can they beat another 3-1-1 side and reach a cup final?

Cup favourites Wizards showed all their class here. Two goals in each half and another clean sheet. Wizards have yet to concede a goal in this season's cup.
Rathpeacon 2-0 sMAshEd
The sMAshEd fairytale came to an end today. A goal in each half saw Rathpeacon through.
-
Congrats both on getting to the final. Should be a close one. I reckon it will be decided by a random extra time goal!
We pulled another point on C1 in the UCB today, meaning we go into the final day 8 points clear, I believe? Means we need 5 points on the final day to guarantee the Championship! Two wins or a win and two draw - but we haven’t got an easy set of fixtures. :o
-
Outstanding stuff, a great performance from the C3 team, good luck tomorrow, hope you see you winning the UCB title.

Get yourself in 3-1-1 next season! Easily capable of finishing in the ICC spots and more depth in the Division, the better! Too many W/Os in the league at the moment - despite there being a very good 9 or 10 teams at the top.
-
Oiii Oiiii! Congrats C3'ers, that's the UCB in the bag! ;D Pretty pleased with that in my debut UCB. What a quartet!
Knew you guys would wrap it up so gave my lads the afternoon off . . . :o Seriously though, what a contribution from everyone, all scoring 30+ points each.
Celebrations won't last too long though, team mates turn into rivals this Easter Weekend as the title race really heats up!
Friday
Great Yarmouth Town vs Hoarse Whisperers
Parma Violets vs Wizards
Saturday
Parma Violets vs Hoarse Whisperers
Wizards vs Great Yarmouth Town
What bigger incentive than being crowned Champions of the newly crowned strongest conference on the game! ;)
-
Brilliant!
Well done guys!!!

fantastic job guys 8) I'm very proud to be part of this team ::)
good luck to you all in the battle for C3 title

Outstanding stuff, well done to the C3 team.

Conference 3 cup final
Wizards vs Rathpeacon
4th meet 5th from 3-1-1 in an what might be an intriguing final. Four time cup winners Wizards are in their 6th final. Rathpeacon are in their 7th final, a record, however, they have lost 4 of their 6 finals to date. Two of those losses were against Wizards in seasons 8 and 19.
The sides have met twice in 3-1-1 this season, both games finished level, and while there is only 1 place between them in the league, the gap is a full 12 points.
Neither side has conceded a goal in the cup so far but Wizards have been the more impressive. They will start as favourites but this one should be close.
Path to the final
Round one: Hoarse Whisperers 0 - 2 Rathpeacon
Round one:Wizards 9 - 0 SatinStorm
Quarter final: Rathpeacon 2 - 0 Saiyan Warriors
Qurter final: Wizards 1 - 0 Sandford St Martin

Conference 3 cup final
Wizards 0-1 Rathpeacon
Finals can be tense and drab affairs and this one was both. Rathpeacon took the lead after 21 minutes and try as Wizards did, Rathpeacon held out to win the cup, their first cup win since season 11.
Thanks to everyone for playing, the cup will be back again next season.

Just in case we didn’t already know how equal we all are at the top, we’ve all beat each other in the last two and ended up with 3 points each! ;D
-
Imagine picking now to forget to take 'Nice Rest' off over night . . . .
Magical stuff.

Excellent, I play you tonight so that was great timing ;)
But If I do beat you, it will make the rest of the season much more interesting even if your last two games are relatively easy.....
-
Phew! Had that earmarked as a 'crucial' one to win since the halfway mark of the season.

;D ;D ;D ;D I doubt that. Looks like you are almost there, one more win for the title.
-
Good luck in the EC tonight, Mihai! Bring that cup back home to C3. 8)
-
Congratulations to Contrast and the Parma Violets on a great campaign.
To be fair, our top four teams were outstanding this season, all four of you would have won most conferences.
-
Well done to Parma. Was a real top four battle.
-
Good luck in the EC tonight, Mihai! Bring that cup back home to C3. 8)
Thanks mate :)
congrats for the title, well deserved 8)
-
Cheers all - first time I’ve won a X-1-1 since 2005! :o Granted, that’s including some pretty long breaks away.
Congrats Mihai on the EC win, beating Imps 2-0 is a mad result. Also noticed Nijinsky beat Kushberry 3-0 in the FL Cup final too, another incredible result involving a C3’er. Dominant.
Looking forward to our TCL semi today, Mihai. Got a feeling it might come down to those extra 20 gelling percentages your starting 11 maintained having an evening game last night . . . !
-
Well done all, Conference 3 has never been so dominant as it is right now.
-
Big congrats to Contrast on the C3 title.
Very well played :)
-
Looking forward to another season, think it is going to closer than ever. When the time comes to pick the UCB four, I am going to select the same four as last season. Hope that is okay with the managers of Hoarse Whisperers, Great Yarmouth and Wizards?
Prediction
I do think it will be one of the Top 4 from last season that wins the Championship this time round. I think however, Great Yarmouth will sneak it this time round. Mihai's team is made up of mostly players that have been with the club for 8 seasons, which means the strength they have going into this season is nuts, and that strength is evidence even beyond the first eleven! :o
Of course you can't write off Nijinsky and Globus in any given season, and I don't plan on giving up the crown too easily either! Meanwhile, I think we may see Rathpeacon sneak into contention. Whilst the Top 4 are all taking points off each other and with pedigree of taking points off the Top 4 themselves, they will fancy themselves as gate crashers to the title race . . . !
Really hoping we see someone snatch up that CPU spot.

My money is always on Hoarse.
Don't worry about me sneaking anywhere. I've been in 3-1-1 for 23 seasons, I finished 2nd once, 3rd once and 4th four times. The other 17 times, I was between 5th and 9th, my record is fairly awful to be fair.
-
Of course I will try my very best but my team have undergone a minor overhaul. Some of my old maxed out players have gone recently.
Maybe in a season or 2 will be a force again.
-
I'll keep trying although I will be missing for a week :0
See if you can tell when I've been away....
No TV so will be relying on data

Wizards are always a top 3 team no matter what way your squad is. You are always in contension.

Conference 3 clash..
The Elite Cup Round 1 sMAshEd Vs Parma Violets ::)
-
I wasn’t thrilled when I saw that after last seasons C3 game, either!
Tell me if I’m wrong but back in the day, was your team name Redhill or something similar?
-
Around 12 years ago on the old Felix server I started Redhill Rovers and was quite successful for a few years, And carried that on for a year or 2 once the servers merged. I tried making a comeback a couple of years ago but didn't have the time to log in during the day (Or kept forgetting due to old age!)
Thought I'd sign up again to have a look around but have found myself getting back into it now...
Look out 3-1-1 ;) ;D
-
Thought I recognised the name! Good luck tonight. Outside of the league, my form is all over the place so anything can happen tonight.
-
Ah Redhill, remember them well.
Dave's Pigs may decide the title and the UCB this year. Sad that he left his team on nutter.
-

Well Done - I copped a proper whooping there :o
-
Thanks for turning up for the first time last night, Nish haha.
-
big game tonight with the top 2 meeting. Great to see 5 teams contending for the title this season. C3 has some fantastic teams right now.
-
Only 3 points seperate the top 4, Wizards down to SIXTH!!!!!
This is an interesting season in 3-1-1.
-
Should be a good second half to the season. Just hope Nish bothers to turn up against the other big boys, but I doubt it!
-

i cant speak as to how high my interest will be for each of those games, but as it stands i'll do my best to dock a point or three off everyone :P only playing with black and red, i tried hard to do all 8 but that's too much. for black star it's been 4 days in a row, a new record
-
Congrats last night Nijinsky, makes the title race just that bit closer, especially with Mihai and Globus drawing, it means it was a good night for Cove!!!
Unfortunately I fear even with 3 points in it that that’s my season over. Both my left sided midfielders have picked up 12 week injuries in the last couple of evenings, and my left back is also crocked for 6 weeks! My left hand side is buggered. :'(

Sorry to hear about the injuries, I suppose on paper I am in contention now but I will fll away again shortly. Wizards will pass me over the rest of the season, i'll be in a battle with Brian for 5th place.

You and me both mate.
Three long term injuries in the last two league games and I go away tomorrow !
-
Ouch! Weird that our game caused so many injuries. We both played it by the book in terms of referee, conditions etc. Think with Globus in a transitional season too, our UCB hopes are probably over after Day 1 this time round. :(

Can ye play each other again, maybe 3 or 4 times???? ;D

Picked up another long term injury, and got a suspension on top to boot last night. Looks like I'm going to need propping up again in todays UCB games. Sorry lads!

The champions are through to round two after a straight forward win.
sMAshEd 2 - 0 Lucys Wanderers
Two second half goals were enough for sMAshEd to go through.
Great Yarmouth Town 2 - 0 Parma Violets
Two of the 3-1-1 title contenders met here and didnt disappoint. Yarmouth scored twice to go through.
Wizards 5 - 0 Black Star Knights
Routine win for Wizards who jusityf their favourites tag after this clinical win.
CSI-Ramsgate 4 - 0 A.C.Upstreet
Good start to their cup campaign for CSI. Can this be their year?
Saiyan Warriors 2 - 1 Sandford St Martin
Great cup tie here, level at full time. Saiyan got the winner in extra time.
SatinStorm 2 - 3 Hoarse Whisperers
What a cup tie!!! Hoarse took the lead twice but Satinstorm pegged them back twice, second time in injury time to take the tie to extra time. Hoarse held out and go into round two.
Kilcully 25 - 2 Filler Team One
Easy win for Kilcully over the filler team.
-
Knocked out of the C3 Cup in the first round all three times I’ve entered. :o
-
Next season will be your season
-
C3 cup quarter finals
8 teams left in contention for the cup, good luck everyone
Kilcully vs Rathpeacon
The champions travel defence see them travel to lower league Kilcully. They should have no problems coming through this one.
Wizards vs CSI-Ramsgate
Cup specialists Wizards host a CSI team looking to win their first cup title. Just one place seperates these two in the league. Extra time could be needed here.
sMAshEd vs Great Yarmouth Town
3-1-2 leaders sMAshEd host Yarmouth, currently joint leaders of 3-1-1. sMAshEd have caused a few surprises since they first entered the cup, could they pull off one more today?
Hoarse Whisperers vs Saiyan Warriors
C3 kingpins and joint leaders of 3-1-1Hoarse host Saiyan in an intriguing tie. Hoarse will be strong favourites but Saiyan can never be written off. This one could be closer than expected.
-
This title race is mad, btw. :o
Pretty big evening tonight.
-
C3 cup quarter finals
Some great ties together.
Kilcully 0-5 Rathpeacon
Routine win here for Rathpeacon who will face much sterner tests in the next round.
Wizards 1-2 CSI-Ramsgate
Great win here for CSI who levelled late on to take the tie to extra time before a 91st minute put them through.
sMAshEd 0-1 Great Yarmouth Town
Just to one goal needed in this one in what was a very tense tie through out. Yarmouth ar 90 minutes away from the final.
Hoarse Whisperers 3-0 Saiyan Warriors
Double chasing Hoarse were too strong for Saiyan in this one.
-
This title race is mad, btw. :o
Pretty big evening tonight.
This has been one of the best C3 title races ever and the top 4 all play tonight. Good luck everyone.
-
Some interesting results last night. Looks like the champions have one hand on the title, two potentially difficult games for them to go though.....
-
Yup, not relishing those two games! In my hands though, and that's all you can ask with two games to go when its this tight.
Mihai - you must set up your team sooooo late! I didn't want to set my tactics until after you had done yours, and in the end gave up waiting at about midnight haha.
The league will have to wait, I've got a biggie against those pesky Imps in the CS tonight . . . gulp.
-
C3 cup semi finals
Two high quality semi finals today as 4 of the top 6 from 3-1-1 meet.
Rathpeacon vs CSI-Ramsgate
5th plays 6th here and just one point seperates these two sides in 3-1-1. Both have beaten each other once in their two league games. This one may need extra time.
Hoarse Whisperers vs Great Yarmouth Town
2nd v 3rd and again, just one point between these two sides in the league. As in the other tie, both of these have beaten each other in the league this season. Expect this one to be very close, possibly a goalless draw with extra time needed.
-
C3 cup semi finals
Two good games today with the two home teams coming through.
Rathpeacon 2-0 CSI-Ramsgate
Rathpeacon had most of the possession but took 71 minutes to break the deadlock before adding a second late on.
Hoarse Whisperers 2-0 Great Yarmouth Town
Hoarse dominated this one, a goal in each half was enough. Can they drive on now and win a possible double?
-
Some dramatic results last night, Brian's CSI held Hoarse to a scoreless draw. Parma Violets are almost champions :)
I moved into fourth after a rare win over Wizards. We are level on points now. I play Liverbird tonight so that's a no game 3-0 win for me. Wizards play MMMRs. If Wizards can make a big score, they will take 4th.
-
Good luck to both Mihai and Nijinsky in tonight's Elite Cup Final. Great to see a major coming back to C3 again this season!
May the game be decided in normal time without any random ET goals . . . .
-
Well done to Parma Violets on winning the C3 title. The top team in C3 are amongst the very best in the game and winning the title is an impressive achievement.
Just want to say well done to Wizards too who won 13-0 last night to snatch 4th place from me by one single goal. TEL for me again next season :)
-
Well done Parma, Another great battle.
-
C3 final
Rathpeacon vs Hoarse Whisperers
The last two teams to win the cup meet in what should be a very interesting final. C3 kingpins Hoarse Whisperers will be the favourites, they finished 13 points ahead of Rathpeacon in the league however they did each record one win over each other in the league.
Both sides have won the cup on three occassions. Who will land their 4th cup?

I didn't know it was your birthday ... I would have stepped aside ...
Happy birthday mate! :)

Cheers Guys
Off to Porto tomorrow so not all bad :)
-
Great season all. Hopefully another corker next season. One or two good teams coming up, hopefully Nish returns with his Black Stars full time. Could be any of 6 of us winning it next season!
I tipped Mihai to do the business this season, and I tip them to do the same next! I hope he doesn’t mind me saying, but it does look like it’s all or bust this season for Great Yarmouth!
-
Morning C3 - Sem has asked me to select our UCB team for this season, I'm planning on picking the Top 4 from the previous season, if any of the Top 4 don't want to play this season, just let me know, otherwise I'll enter as follows:
- Parma Violets
Great Yarmouth
Hoarse Whisperers
Wizards
-
Hi Contrast
I'm going to pass on UCB this season.
My team aren't quite up to scratch and I'm really busy for next few weeks and can't do it justice.
Suggest you offer to CSI or Rathpeacon.
Cheers
Globus

Globus
As I have plenty of options to join UCB and to save you time. Offer it to Eamonn.
:) 8) :)
-
No worries, Globus. Luckily we have strength in depth in our Conference.
As Cove finished 5th, I had him down as next in line anyways. Let me know if your Rathpeacon lads fancy a crack, mate.
-
Yeah I am happy to fill in. Cant say I will strengthen the C3 team but I'll do my best.
-
Apologies Parma, i sort of ruined the title race last night. Yarmouth are looking very strong this season, they have not even conceded a goal yet!!!
That said, the battle for second place looks very intense, 9 teams are in the hunt.
-
Well done Mihai !
-
thanks Nijinsky :)
Glad I've won the title ... I will try to retain it next season because after that it's rebuilding time.
-
Well done Mihai,
You've been the best side all season and deserving of the title.
-
Thanks Cove.
I think it would be much difficult next season.
-
I was thinking to choose these teams to represent C3 for the UCB competition
Great Yarmouth Town
sMAshEd
Parma Violets
Rathpeacon
reserve: Hoarse Whiperers
It's hard to choose, any of the first 8 could represent C3, but finally I went for the top4
Can you guys confirm me that you are up to the challenge. Thanks
-
Sorry for my absence at the end if this season. Unfortunately my fiancé has been in hospital so it’s been a rubbish week or two. On the mend now, though.
Unfortunately it looks like I’ve lost my place in FL1 :(
I’ll probably not participate in the UCB though. Luckily there’s others that can easily take my place and give it full focus.
-
I'm happy to play UCB.
-
Just bumping up the conference 3 thread.
the cup should start soon, just one slot left to fill.
Our former league leaders are on a bad run, makes the league much more interesting now.
-
I have invited some friends for a bbq and forgot to set up.
lost both matches C2 and C3.
it's more interesting now
-
it's more interesting now
Very much so, should be a good run in now

Sandford St Martin vs A.C.Upstreet
Wizards vs Great Yarmouth Town
Dynamo Valley vs SatinStorm
sMAshEd vs Saiyan Warriors
CSI-Ramsgate vs Dirtbox United
Hoarse Whisperers vs Filler Team One
Kilcully vs We Play Like Girls

C3 cup round one results
Apologies, travelling right now so a shortened report. Round one highlights, the champions are out after defeat to Lucy. Good wins Sandford, Great Yarmouth, Satinstorm, smashed, CSI and Hoarse.
Rathpeacon 2 - 4 Lucys Wanderers
Sandford St Martin 5 - 1 A.C.Upstreet
Wizards 0 - 1 Great Yarmouth Town
Dynamo Valley 0 - 2 SatinStorm
sMAshEd 3 - 0 Saiyan Warriors
CSI-Ramsgate 10 - 1 Dirtbox United
Hoarse Whisperers 35 - 0 Filler Team One
Kilcully 27 - 5 We Play Like Girls

C3 cup quarter finals
Hoarse Whisperers vs Kilcully
Easy game for Hoarse who will ease into the semi finals today.
CSI-Ramsgate vs Sandford St Martin
Two good cup sides each chasing a first cup title, one will make the semi final, will home advantage give CSI the edge?
sMAshEd vs Lucys Wanderers
Tricky one for the league leaders against Lucys who should be high in confidence today.
SatinStorm vs Great Yarmouth Town
This has the makings of a great cup tie and a possible upset?
-
C3 cup quarter final results
Hoarse Whisperers 12 - 1 Kilcully
Easy win for Hoarse as expected, safely into the semi finals and could be hard to beat.
CSI-Ramsgate 3 - 0 Sandford St Martin
Very good win for CSI here, leading by one at the break, two second half goals saw them through.
sMAshEd 3 - 0 Lucys Wanderers
Very straight forward win for sMAshEd here, two first half goals put them in the driving seat. Lucy's chased hard in the second half and were caught on the break.
SatinStorm 0 - 3 Great Yarmouth Town
This was closer than the scorlinee suggest. Only one between them at the break, SatinStorm pressed hard in the second half before falling two down on 57 minutes. Yarmouth scored a third late on to seal the victory.
-
C3 cup semi finals
Into the penultimate round now and the four remaining teams are all in the top 7 of 3-1-1.
Hoarse Whisperers vs CSI-Ramsgate
Hoarse, for so long C3's kingpins have been on a relatively barren run of late entertain CSI in the first semi final. CSI have always competed well in the cup but have yet to win the title. Could this be their year?
sMAshEd vs Great Yarmouth Town
The top two in 3-1-1 meet here in what is the most antipicated semi final for some time. Neither side has won a cup title before, the winners of this one will fancy their chances in the final.
-
C3 cup semi finals
Two great semi finals with the two away teams winning out. We will have a new first time cup champion this season.
Hoarse Whisperers 1-2 CSI-Ramsgate
Hoarse took the lead on 13 minutes but CSI dominated after going behind. It look that Hoarse would hang on but CSI leveled on 89 minutes to bring us to extra time. A 111th minute winner sent CSI in the 3rd ever cup final.
sMAshEd 0-2 Great Yarmouth Town
sMAshEd may lead 3-1-1 from Yarmouth but it's Yarmouth who will play in the cup final after a solid performance. Goals in each half proved the difference as Yarmouth proved more clinical in front of goal.

I have invited some friends for a bbq and forgot to set up.
lost both matches C2 and C3.
it's more interesting now
I think you should have a few more bbq's ;)
your wish has been granted ;D

C3 cup final
It's cup final day and two teams who have never won the cup before meet in the final....
CSI-Ramsgate vs Great Yarmouth Town
A top quality final is in prospect as CSI entertain Great Yarmouth. CSI have had a good season and are currently in 6th place in 3-1-1. Yarmouth are second and could still do the league and cup double.
Both sides have impressed to reach the final, a third final for CSI and a first for Yarmouth. The sides have met twice in the league this season with Yarmouth winning 3-0 both times. Yarmouth will start as favourites but CSI have learned from their past finals and this could be their year.
Paths the final

It doesn't seen to matter - I'm doing my best to throw this season away :(

Well done sMAshEd on winning C3 - great effort, well played ;D

Well done smashed .
Sorry Yarmouth, Was at the footy yesterday so tactics weren't set properly.
Can safely say I'd never deliberately go out to injury my opponents especially my UCB buddy !
-
Well done Smashed, a great season this time.
Good job by Yarmouth too, you came close to a league and cup double, apologies, I didnt get a report done for the cup, I was away this week with little internet which was nice for a change.
-
Thank you. 8)
-
Where did Yarmouth go?
No longer in C3-1-1 :(
-
I moved Yarmouth to 3-2-1 because I desperately need to rebuild the whole team
I will try to balance the players to remain competitive in the future

Hello C3,
I am looking for input on the future of the C3 cup.
For the past 5 or 6 seasons, i have had to include 3 filler teams to make up the numbers as normally we get only 13 real teams to enter. I think this has taken from the tournament as one team gets an easy 1st round game and one of the filler teams goes into the quarter finals and another team gets an easy game.
I am thinking of making the C3 cup an 8 team cup from now on but this means that some teams will miss out. I am looking at 2 options and would like people to give me feedback:
- open entry - first come first served - simple and fair
- entry based on league position from last season - so top 8 in 3-1-1 are invited to enter, if a team doesnt enter then 9th is invited and so on. Makes for a higher quality cup but excludes lower ranked teams. That said, the top 10 in 3-1-1 are all normally cup entrants, there are very few from outside 3-1-1
Would like to get feedback from everyone on this. I will go with the majority view and i will also write to all active managers in C3
-
That end to the season here was insane! Hoarse Whispers, finished on 87 points and they didn’t win the league? 🤯 Harsh! Can only imagine how there feeling after a season like that!
-
It was a good battle, We only lost to each other and it Hoarse was top until the last game when I pipped him on goal dif 8)

Second time it's happened to me now !
I was only top for two games though and Smashy had a comp team in his last game
-
Well done to both, a great title battle, one of the best for years.
-
Both teams with 87 points in an x-1-1, and both teams relegated from FL1 :P A strange season indeed!
-
Both teams with 87 points in an x-1-1, and both teams relegated from FL1 :P A strange season indeed!
The game is nuts, I think we have all seen how form in a competition is a major factor in determining results, that's why it is important to start every competition well.
-
The conference 3 cup season 27 is back.
This season the cup will be limited to 8 teams. I asked C3 teams for their views on what the format should be.
4 teams voted for the top 8 in 3-1-1 should qualify for the cup and 3 teams voted that it should be first come first served.
We will go with the majority and passwords will be sent to the top 8 teams in 3-1-1 last season shortly. If teams in the top choose not to take part, then the team in 9th place will be invited and so on until we fill the 8 places.
-
I did my bit to make the title race a little more interesting, sorry Smashed :)
-
Conference 3 cup round one
Apologies, I didnt get a chance to write a preview. 4 great first round ties today.
Rathpeacon 2 - 3 sMAshEd
sMAshEd took a 3-0 lead in this one and seemed to be coasting. Rathpeacon pulled two back but couldnt find a third to take it to extra time.
Saiyan Warriors 2 - 1 Lucys Wanderers
Good cup tie here today, Lucy's had 15 shots to 7 for Saiyan but could only convert one of those. Saiyan took a 2-0 lead despite Lucy's owning much of the possession and despite a nervous final ten minutes, they held on for a great win.
CSI-Ramsgate 1 - 3 Hoarse Whisperers
Hoarse Whisperers were at their very best here. 3 goals up after 55 minutes was enough, CSI pulled one back late on but the Whisperers showed their class here.
SatinStorm 1 - 0 Great Yarmouth Town
A dogged cup tie here with no quarter given. Satin Storm win out by the old go to end Yarmouth's reign as champions.
-
I did my bit to make the title race a little more interesting, sorry Smashed :)
Yes, Looks like Hoarse could be on for a league and cup double after their ICC win today - Congrats mate and well done for bringing it home for C3 8)
-
Cheers banger,
Still 6 games left and we both have to play top 4 teams twice.
Don't count Lucy out either !
-
Conference 3 cup semi finals
Down to the last four, two will make the final but which two?
Hoarse Whisperers vs sMAshEd
The top two in 3-1-1 meet here in what could be one of the great semi finals. 2 points seperates these two in the league, who will this cup tie?
Saiyan Warriors vs SatinStorm
Two sides in great form meet here, Saiyan are enjoying a great league campaign and are 5th in 3-1-1. Satin Storm are the new 3-1-2 champions and will be competing at the top table next season. Could you complete a league and cup double here?
-
Conference 3 cup semi finals
Hoarse Whisperers 1 - 2 sMAshEd
This was a great cup tie. Hoarse took the lead shortly after half time and thought they were in the final until sMAshEd levelled with only 4 minutes to go. A winner after 111 minutes put sMAshEd through.
Saiyan Warriors 1 - 0 SatinStorm
A tense and hard fought cup tie was decided by just one goal, after 74 minutes. Saiyan are through to their very first C3 cup final and we all wish them the very best.
-
Saiyan are through to their very first C3 cup final and we all wish them the very best.

I dont think he plays psycho as much anymore and regardless, we would wish everyone good luck in a final, right? especially as this is his first. He has never made the final of any private league before or even finished in the top 2 of a private league. Whether he wins or loses, this will be the first time a private league of any type appears in his history so I do wish him the best of luck
I remember the first time I won anything on this game, it was an 8 team cup that I started and I won it, I was delighted ;D

Not anymore Gull. Although there are a few who do....
-
Conference 3 cup final
sMAshEd 1 - 0 Saiyan Warriors
sMAshEd are conference 3 cup champions for the very first time. There was little between these two sides but the victors did enough to win after a narrow one goal win in what always a tense encounter.
SMAshEd will hope that this is the first leg of a possible double while Saiyan can take heart by appearing in a first PL final, hopefully the first of many for the Warriors.
-
1-0 to the good guys.
-
Congrats to Hoarse Whisperers 8) for taking the title after myself and Ramsgate served up a match that must to be a nomination for game of the season... ::)
-
Well done Hoarse, great effort from our cup champions sMAshEd in second place.

That Brian likes a spoiler :)
Noticed you managed to slip into fL1 as well !
I'll be hanging on next season. I just hope we don't get psycho friendly refs in our games. I had 14 long term injuries this season and you caused a few of them !

I was due to play the Great Borg last night in 3-1-1. They won their first 3 games so I was expecting a loss.

I won 2-1 but this morning they are the New Orleans Saints and are a computer team. Anyone know what happened?

C3 cup season 28
The C3 cup is back, just 8 teams this season but 8 high quality teams could make this a great competion.
Rathpeacon vs Saiyan Warriors
Saiyan Warriors were beaten finalists last season and they will be hoping to go one better this time. Rathpeacon have been in good cup form in recent seasons, the winners of this one will have ambitions of going all the way.
sMAshEd vs Lucys Wanderers
The defending cup champions and 3-1-1 leaders sMAshEd entertain Lucy's Wanderers in what could be the tie of the round. Lucy's side is having an excellent season and are two time cup champions, could they spring a surprise here?
CSI-Ramsgate vs Hoarse Whisperers
CSI host 3-1-1 champions Hoarse Whispers in what should be a very entertaining tie. Hoarse will start as favourites but home advantage might see CSI through.
SatinStorm vs Great Yarmouth Town
Great Yarmouth Town might play in 3-1-3 but they were cup champions just two season ago and won 3-1-1 just four seasons ago. Satinstorm are developing a very exciting young squad, this one could need extra time.

C3 round one results and semi final previews
Rathpeacon 1 - 0 Saiyan Warriors
A first half goal was enough to send Rathpeacon into round two.
sMAshEd 1 - 0 Lucys Wanderers
What a game, scoreless until the 111th minute before the champions got the breakthrough to go through.
CSI-Ramsgate 0 - 2 Hoarse Whisperers
A goal in each half was enough for Hoarse to progress to round two.
SatinStorm 3 - 0 Great Yarmouth Town
Excellent performance by Satinstorm who were one up at half time, two second half goals saw them through.
Semi finals
SatinStorm vs Hoarse Whisperers
Both sides were very impressive in round one but only one can make the final. Hoarse won their league battle this season but home advantage may make the difference here?
Rathpeacon vs sMAshEd
Rathpeacon host the defending cup champions sMAshEd. sMAshEd are in the hunt for a league and cup double and have beaten Rathpeacon twice in the league, they wil start as favourites.

C3 cup semi finals

Rathpeacon 0 - 4 sMAshEd
Superb display by the cup champions who smashed Rathpeacon with 2 goals in each half.

C3 cup final preview
sMAshEd vs Hoarse Whisperers
The top two teams in 3-1-1 meet in what is a final between the defending cup champions and the defending league champions. No one can dispute that these are the top two teams in Conference 3 and tomorrow they go head to head to decide the first piece of C3 silverware.
This is the side's 6th meeting of the season. They played out a scoreless draw in the league, sMAshEd won both games in FL1 and a friendly but Hoarse won their Elite cup tie.
It's hard to predict a winner, extra time could be needed.

C3 cup final
Apologies all, I was away for the last few days so only getting to the report now.
sMAshEd 0 - 3 Hoarse Whisperers
An awesome display from Hoarse Whisperers was enough to deny sMAshEd a successful defence of their C3 title.
Hoarse enjoyed 62% possession but didnt take the lead until the 43rd minute. Two more goals in the second half were enough to seal the title for the 4th time.
Congratulations to Hoarse, this could be the first part of a league and cup double. Commiserations to sMAshEd but you should be proud of a great cup defence. Thanks to everyone who took part.

C3 cup seasnon 29
The Conference 3 cup is back for season 29 and we have 8 high quality teams lining up in round 1.
Great Yarmouth Town vs Lucys Wanderers
Great Yarmouth were cup champions just 3 seasons ago. They regraded to a lower league but have bounced back in style and have secured promotion to 3-1-1 with 6 games to spare. Lucys Wanderers have been enjoying an excellent season and are currently sitting 3rd in 3-1-1.
Saiyan Warriors vs SatinStorm
5th v 6th from 3-1-1 here in a game that could go either way
Rathpeacon vs CSI-Ramsgate
4th v 7th from 3-1-1. Rathpeacon have been having an indifferent season and could be relegatd from FL2. CSI could do with a cup run to kick start a season that otherwise may peter out.
sMAshEd vs Hoarse Whisperers
The top two sides meet here in a repeat of last years final Hoarse won that day 3-0, can sMAshEd gain some revenge here?
-
Great Yarmouth Town 2 - 0 Lucys Wanderers
Lucys had most of the possession and chances but Great Yarmouth were more clinical, a goal in each half sees them through.
Saiyan Warriors 0 - 1 SatinStorm
A great cup tie, full of drama but just with the one goal. Satinstorm scoring 2 minutes after the restart.
Rathpeacon 0 - 1 CSI-Ramsgate
Deserved win for CSI here who might fancy their chances of going all the way this season.
sMAshEd 1 - 0 Hoarse Whisperers
The champions are out in a game that saw almost nothing between the teams. A goal with 15 minutes left was enough to see sMAshEd go through.
-
C3 cup semi finals
Great Yarmouth Town vs SatinStorm
3-1-2 leader Great Yarmouth Town entertain Satinstorm in an intriguing semi final. Great Yarmouth won the cup 3 seasons ago and will be eager to win again. Satinstorm are an ever improving side and will back themselves to reach a first final.
CSI-Ramsgate vs sMAshEd
CSI Ramsgate entertain double chasing sMAshEd in what will be a tough game for the hosts. sMAshEd lead 3-1-1 by 5 points and beat Hoarse Whisperers in the last round. However CSI are always tough to beat and will fancy their chances here.
-
C3 cup semi finals
Wins for the two away sides today to set up a great final.
Great Yarmouth Town 0-2 SatinStorm
Satinstorm are through to their first ever C3 cup final. A goal in each half was enough to see them through.
CSI-Ramsgate 1-2 sMAshEd
sMAshEd are edging closer to a league and cup double. They went two up early into the second half but credit to CSI who pulled a goal back and made things very tense for the final 15 minutes.
-
C3 cup final day
SatinStorm vs sMAshEd
sMAshEd have just been crowned 3-1-1 league champions and today they will aiming to make it a league and cup double winning season. Standing in their way are SatinStorm who have reached todays final without conceding a goal.
This is the 4th time the two sides have met this season. sMAshEd won both league games and the super cup quarter final but today is a final and finals have a way of taking on a life of their own.
GOOD LUCK TO BOTH TEAMS
-
C3 cup final
New champions in the cup, thank you all for playing and we'll do it all again next season.
SatinStorm 1-0 sMAshEd
Satinstorm are the conference 3 cup champions for the first time ever. They led on possession and chances created from the beginning but only got the break through after the break after a flick on from Jimmy Greaves. They soaked up some late pressure but held out for a famous victory.
This was sMAshEd's 3rd straight final and for the second year in a row sMAshEd, they have come up short but they should be very proud of another great season.

Well done to SatinStorm on the C3 cup win.
I was hoping to secure a league and cup double this season as I'm about to lose 6 players through retirement so can't see much silverware coming my way again for a while
And good luck to Hoarse Whisperers in the Champions Shield final - Bring it back to C3 8)
-
Well done on the league title sMAshEd, another great season. The only points that you dropped were in the two games against me :D
I just wish I could have been that good agaisnt everyone else :D

Well done Bangers. Couldn’t keep up this time.
-
Sorry sMAshEd, i am becoming your bogey team, i just wish I was as consistent against everyone else :)

I was literally just about to start a new thread regarding bogey teams after I drew a blank against you yet again :(
Well done with the win - Just gotta hope you take points off the others too now

Since I starting playing SL I've copped injuries against teams playing psycho against me and have found the only way to combat it is to play psycho too- Obviously doesn't work all the time though.
I'm happy to have an agreement to omit it from league games

Thanks Banger, I got a lucky draw, I avoided all of the top 4.
Well done to Hoarse on winning 3-1-1 again. Consistently, the best team in Conference 3 for what seems forever now :)

Thought I'd give this thread a bump as like me it had fallen a long way down.. :'(
Great race at the top with with Hoarse and SatinStorm pulling well away from the field. Each team still has a couple of tricky games up-coming so good luck to both 8)

Absolutely amazing title race.
Both have tough games on the final day. Best of luck to both

C3 cup final
sMAshEd 1 - 0 Rathpeacon
sMAshEd are C3 cup champions for the second time after a one goal win over Rathpeacon. Herbie Voor scored after 29 minutes while a pigeon distracted the Rathpeacon goalkeeper :D. From there Rathpeacon huffed and puffed creating 15 chances but could not find an equaliser. sMAshEd goalkeeper Willie Maykit gave a man of the match performance to give his side the title.
Well done to sMAshEd and thanks to everyone who played. See you all for season 32 :)

Hello Lads. I joined part way through last year and have been in a few private leagues where ive mostly lost every game, however I did beat Bristol Saints who were #1 Ranked at the time. just made the move to 3-1-1. Will be looking to finish around 7-10th as I get used to the game again and then build on that the season after. Cheers
-
Welcome, 3-1-1 needs some new players, we only have 8 active people, you make 9 so you are very welcome.

I wish I got an easier draw, couldnt believe it, an inter conference cup round one game and i draw a C3 team ::)
-
Unlucky Cove. Shame it didn't keep us in C3 apart until the later rounds.
Round 2 - CSI-Ramsgate vs sMAshEd Another C3 clash for me ::)

I suppose it guarantees a C3 team in Round 3 :)

C3 cup starts today

C3 cup round 1 reports
Hoarse Whisperers 3 - 1 Saiyan Warriors
The league leaders were made to sweat a little when Saiyan equalised on 69 minutes but their class brought them through.
SatinStorm 1 - 4 Great Yarmouth Town
Far too easy for Yarmouth here who came from a goal down to win comfortably.
Rathpeacon 2 - 1 sMAshEd
The defending champions are out losing in extra time to last season's finalists Rathpeacon.
Lucys Wanderers 0 - 1 CSI-Ramsgate
Typical cup tie here settled by the odd goal. CSI went ahead late in the first half, depsite dominating possession, Lucys Wanderers could not find an equaliser.

C3 cup semi finals
Great Yarmouth Town vs Hoarse Whisperers
The top two in 3-1-1 have taken the title race right down to the final games and here they meet in the cup semi final.
Rathpeacon vs CSI-Ramsgate
CSI have yet to win the cup depsite coming close on several ocassions, they will be hoping to reach another final here.
-
C3 cup semi finals
Two 5 goal thrillers today....
Great Yarmouth Town 4-1 Hoarse Whisperers
Billed as the game of the day, Hoarse edged posession but Yarmouth were clinical in front of goal, two goals in each half sent through.
Rathpeacon 3-2 CSI-Ramsgate
A real dinger here. CSI took the lead before two Rathpeacon goals saw them in front. CSI levelled before a 78th minute winner for Rathpeacon.
-
C3 cup final result
Great Yarmouth Town 2-1 Rathpeacon
Great Yarmouth Town are cup champions for the second time after a 2-1 win over Rathpeacon today. In doing so, Great Yarmouth Town have become league and cup double winners, a feat rarely achieved. A goal in each half was enough for the victors although Rathpeacon pulled one back on 79 minutes to ensure a nerve final ten minutes. But Yarmouth were never really troubled and today, they put the icing on top of what was a great season. A second cup final defeat in a row for Rathpeacon.

Alright lads and Lucy? ;D

The Violets back in the mix 8)
I saw you rebuilding your team - 3-1-1 will be looking quite tasty in a season or 2
Welcome back

Welcome back
Cheers mate. Cheap and cheerful rebuild this time, so don’t think I’ll be quite back to the glory of seasons past, but we’ll see where the squad is in 2 to 3 seasons. Will take a Top 8 finish this time round, but my team got decimated by a Psycho tactic last night. A few 12 week and 8 week injuries will slow down their development. :( Lucky I got it late last night so I matched it, but what a gross return.

Wow that was a tear up ! 11 injuries and only 2 red cards. Have you got history with that team? They didn't play psycho in the first game
-
Nah, new to the game and a genuine mistake from him and he’s held his hands up.
-
I think this conference is one of the most competitive there is all the top 10 teams could beat each other on any day, was chuffed to bits with my 4th last season stay in the top 4 this year and it's another great year!
-
Just about got one or two players back from broken bones, and it looks like my opponent is again playing Psycho tonight! :o
Think if I lose another 3 or 4 players to long term injury I’m gonna jump ship to another Conference.

Great win mate - Well done 8)

Very well done again, well done the top 3 who were all in the hunt until very late in the season.

Thanks mate !
My squad will be at his peak for another season and after that some of the players will start to decline

Congrats to Yarmouth..looks like the rest of conference 3 will be making up the numbers again next year then.
-
Oustanding performance from Yarmouth, conceding only 6 goals was amazing!
-
Any chance of running the Conference 3 Cup again Cove?

Yeah I will do it next season. Just had a rough couple of months, Haven't been every day for a while but I should be ok from now onwards.
-
Thanks again guys ...
I expect some great matches next season, it won't be easy I know for sure
-
Well done Matey
-
Thanks Nij
-
Top of the table meeting tonight in C3 and for a very rare occassion, I am second!
Good luck to Satinstorm, I'll be doing my best to trim your lead over the chasing pack. :D
-
Yeah unusually Hoarse and GYT are 4th and 6th respectively proving this is a very tough league. But all of the top 8 play each other tonight so it could all be different in a few hours time.
A win for you tonight cove would be nice to pull Satin back in a bit

0-0 despite having a lot of possession, Satin is hard to break down.
Its set up for a great run in from here though, all of the top 6 are surely contenders?

I'm not sure how you manage it Hoarse, But thats the second time you've done that to my keeper and ended up battering me >:(
-
Completely random Matey !
I’ve had a Goalie injured as well this season.
Cove played me with a Mid in net for 30 minutes mins and still got a point.
Game has gone to pot
-
Ouch
Yes the game is definitely really weird, has been like that for a while

C3 cup round 1 results
sMAshEd 2 - 0 Rathpeacon
Two second half goals see sMAshEd through to round 2.
SatinStorm 1 - 0 Great Yarmouth Town
Little between these two. A early goal proved enough to settle the tie.
Rekrap CF 2 - 1 CSI-Ramsgate
Classic cup tie that needed extra to decide a winner.
Hoarse Whisperers 3 - 0 Saiyan Warriors
Strong performance from Hoarse who were much more clinical in this one.
-
C3 cup semi finals
Cup semi final day ses 3 of the top 4 aim to make the big day. 3rd play 2nd in the first match while Rekrap will hope to upset double chasing Satinstorm.

C3 cup semi finals
Hoarse Whisperers 1 - 0 sMAshEd
Very tight game but Hoarse got the only goal just after half time to reach their ninth C3 cup final.
Rekrap CF 0 - 3 SatinStorm
This game was much closer than the scoreline suggests but the league leaders were clinicial in front of goal and reach their second C3 cup final.
-
C3 cup final
SatinStorm 2 - 0 Hoarse Whisperers
SatinStorm are C3 cup champions for the second time in 5 seasons after a 2-0 win over Hoarse Whisperers. Brice Tagg scored both goals at the beginning of each half in a relatively tight game game. SatinStorm will hope that this is the first leg of a possible league and cup double.
Thanks to everyone who took part this season. The cup will be back next season.

Cheers Banger. Unfortunately upstreet is a moron. Went nutter and gave me 23 weeks of injuries. Now got players out of position and although I will probably hang on for the league I fear he has ruined my chances of TCL..

For your information, i actually couldn't log into the site to set up and change tactics. But hey, i guess i'm the moron when the guy that runs this shit show still hasn't fixed the log in issues around 1am? And many thanks for the abusive Private Message Memet. I think maybe you should take your own advice if that's your reaction to getting a few injuries on a online football game.
-
Yes...it is my reaction monkey whatever your name is.. Sure your big enough to deal with it without getting too upset.

Why thank you ;)

Sad to see the C3 has lost Great Yarmouth and Rekrap for this season, just 13 teams in 3-1-1 this season which is a pity as the league had become very competitive.
Would be great to see some new people joining what is one of the best conferences in the game :-)
-
Disappointed Yarmouth has gone. I loved playing him.
Rekrap also...his team was always better than where he finished every year. Hard to understand why.
-
The team is rebuilding soon and I thought to try my luck in other conference .
-
I just couldn't seem to get away from finishing 7th 8th 9th so wanted a little change! Good luck all
-
First time I've been top of the league for ages so I decide to play an AWOL player last night ::)
-
Thought it was Christmas so I did.
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Glad I won it before my last 2 games of the season ;D
-
Congratulations, excellent season, 27 wins from 28 games is fantastic!
-
Thank you Cove - Had to win it this year, My team is about to fall off a cliff
-
Well done Smashie :)
-
Well done to SatinStorm on another great season. Only 1 defeat is a great performance.
Also credit to Hoarse W and Smashed who pushed you all the way and Brian's boys weren't too far beind in 4th. 4 top quality teams in C3 right now.
There's a group of 4 more of us battling for 5th to 8th :D Only 2 points between the 4 of us.
-
Well done Satin Storm, Can't remember the last time I won this :)
-
Congrats SatinStorm - Well done mate
Gutted I couldn't make the top 2 to make the new Super League :(
-
Thanks all. Another tough season ahead, with another competitive team joining the best conference.
-
Terrible start for me. Lose to the league champs first game and didn’t
Even get to login last night :'(
Can only get better from here supposedly
-
I've been travelling this week and havent been on at all. Got no friendlies organised and didnt set up for league match 1!!!!
Not a good way to start :D
-
Amazing title race, looks like it could go all the way to the final day, good luck to both teams.
-
Well done Hoarse on a great season. Great effort from Satinstorm also.
Two top teams and a great title battle.
-
Yep. Congratulations to Nij. Just that bit stronger in the end and well deserved.
-
Well done to Satinstorm on another great title win, great effort from Hoarse too, just falling short.
-
Well done Satinstorm on another great title win. Hoarse pushed you all the way again.
C3 has some great teams right now, top 5 were very impressive, got to say well done to Saiyan in 3rd too, a great season for you and maybe a launch pad to a title charge next season?
-
Well done memet
-
Cheers both.
Next season may be even closer all round. At least 5 strong candidates based on this years showing.
-
Well done mate, A top performance this season
I had a terrible season but I'll be back to take a few points off the top teams next time around
-
This has been the most exciting C3 season for years. 4 teams within 3 points of each with 7 games to go
Best of luck everyone
-
Great season so far.
Draws all round for the top 4 last night
I'm getting a nose bleed being this high up!
