RPL Athletic Dressing Room - Season 7

[MickMarmalade]

LAAAADS!!!!

[hereticboy]

Chris can't make the first game (dunno about the second) so Hannay, you're going on the wings (and you get keeper throws/kicks) and Nath, you're going CAM.

[pompey88]

Argh! Defoe!

I was hammering the shoot button but he took an age. Sorry boys, well played though great performances!

[strawdonkey]

Fucking ratings 9 in the first game, 4 in the second. Granted the first game was my better performance, but still - nowhere near that kind of gulf.

Unfortunately I was hit by crippling lag during the last 20 minutes of the second game - I think Windows Update might be doing it's thing or something equally as quiet as I can't find any evidence of downloading shenanigans anywhere.

We did well, can't say as either team was unlucky to not win the second game as while we adapted well for the second half, we got a right thumping in the first.

Played!

[hereticboy]

Aye, well played lads. I'm happy with the way we changed in the second game. We didn't half get a humping in the first half and were a bit lucky to go in only one down, but we came back and did well.

Come on lads!

[MickMarmalade]

Played lads.We did well to come back in the second game after it looked like we were going to struggle.I think I need to work on my passing as I gave the ball away too often,haven't got to grips with it since the game came out to be honest.

[hereticboy]

A bit of praccy and you'll be reet. You were spot on tonight, Mick. Did plenty in breaking attacks and while you gave it away at points you also played smart attacking passes.

[hannay]

Enjoyed it on the wings tonight Well done guys on a couple of good performances - esp in the first

[Manic Minor]

Cheers boys, good games.

Crouch is a cuuuunt.

[tyler]

Good games laddos. Well played. What did Crouch do to offend EA?

[Chris303]

Annoyingly got held up last night. Even more annoying was that I practically ran home only to miss the start of game two by only a minute.

Next week innit.

[nathan]

yeah good games last night, at least we didnt lose!

[pompey88]

Big well played to the defence too, every one of you was superb last night. Mick, I can see why you're always rated the highest, your positional play is brilliant.

[Chris303]

God it's quiet in here these days...

[hereticboy]

Indeed. Where are you all?

We're going to have a good night, I can feel it.

[hannay]

any team changes this week? looking forward to the games tonight

[nathan]

yeah, i would like to stay as a CAM, i think thats where my true calling is

although ill be put to use wherever you want me boss

[MickMarmalade]

I'll stay where I am if possible Don't forget to take me off set pieces or you'll have to watch my comedy corners again

[pompey88]

Pompey in Athletic Management return!

Hereticboy has just text me that he won't be able to make it tonight, so I'll be taking over for tonight only.

We'll be playing;

Meerman --- Rogue --- Pompey --- Donkey

-------- Hannay --- Mick ------- Chris

-------------------- Nath --------------------

------------ Joe ------------- Pompey

As you can see the midfield is narrower so Chris and Hanny will be playing as right and left CM's rather than wingers. Which should give the defence more protection, but you still have the freedom to get forward when you can. I'd like to Mick to play his usual holding role.

See you tonight!

[strawdonkey]

Hard freeze on 40 minutes, and dreadful lag for periods before that.

[Chris303]

Hilarity.

[Gambit]

So are we rematching the first game then?

[dan_tm]

I don't think the current rules would permit that, and with Mike being on our side it would probably spark a shit-storm even if we could. We certainly need to look into changing the rules though.

[strawdonkey]

What happened?

[SaintM]

Mass disconnections. We were winng 1-0 before them, them after the athletic strikers were kicked the ai took over and scored 4 goals (world class post-patch innit)

[nathan]

played lads, good games for both, even with the controversy of the first!!

PM'd you the ratings for first game Pomp (if they still stand)

[strawdonkey]

Utter dogshit for me; may as well have not turned up. You can't position yourself when the game is jumping all over the place, you end up running straight past the place you wanted to stop all the time.

[MickMarmalade]

Felt like running through treacle for the most of the games,not fun in the slightest.

Still, well played lads.

[Tomox]

Sounds like everyones games were fucked up tonight. Ours were very laggy and sluggish
