Boards Blackout Cup discussion thread

jprender

League games arent important to me at all as I took over a team with no chance of breaking into the top 4 and no chance of being in the bottom 2.

So all games for me are with NWIM.

Enjoy racking up the big scores though which is what my team should do today aswell !!

chupacabra

My outhalf just executed a move identical to Sextons try against the scarlets last night. This lad is turning into quite the player.

When i took over i was miles behind the leaders in 4th place so i decided to make a big push for promotion, every game 100% and havent lost since and have rocketed up to top of the league and will be 5 clear after today. However since i was top last week i have tried to manage my season better with the boards cup in mind i took a chance and played with next weeks match in mind.15-8 down at half time had me regretting my decision but a superb 2nd half although one strewn with errors and poor scrummaging had me come back and win 23 - 15 to extend my lead at the top. Up next is the boards cup then a difficult game against 3rd place and then 2 games against two teams manager less so easy wins there.

My fullback has been my star player even though he has a rating of 1 for both attack and defense but he is only 19 so hopefully he can improve as everything else is satisfactory

jprender

66-0 for me today.

not quite as good as last week where I won 77-0 !!!


Only 2 missed tackles for the whole game today which I am happy with.

johnnysmack

another bonus point win today altho my team did make a lot of errors. was playing second place team who really put it up to me for 60 mins. promotion only few games away now!

Yeah its been difficult trying to manage my season between league and the boards cup. Altho since Ive taken over its been 3 wins and 1 draw (one of those wins was in boards cup) so hopefully I can continue in that form. Todays match was played in terrible conditions so happy to come away with a win against the league leaders. The next match is the boards cup against Meh which should prove testing and then its on to face 6th place in the league before facing the new league leaders. Happy enough with the depth of my squad tho

Gelio

Won 20-7, beating the team behind me so very happy:D

67 nil to me today.
I needed that win!

Gelio

Just looking towards the cup match v rebels on monday, I think my biggest worry is your out half Jack Mulholland but hopefully my 116kg tank out half will take care of him:D

Orizio

These are the fixtures, which I PMed to all participants...

The Rebels vs Geraldine RFC

Daveos Masters vs PnG Wanders

Banner Warriors vs Tommy Tigers

Bridge Burners vs Maniachial Matriarchs

Xavi XI vs Polk High

Dead Hard Fcukers vs A Lovely Bunch Altogether

Forza Juve vs The Blackouts

Cork Hurricanes vs Meh

...so why do the managers of Banner Warriors and Bridge Burners have a friendly organised with each other, rather then with Tommy Tigers and Maniachial Matriarchs respectively?

The explanation better be good, as I have my hurley at the ready and I'm more then happy to give fellow Irishmen head-smashings.

Gelio

Orizio thanks for the last team of the round etc. will you be doing another

When I am finished killing whomever the managers of Banner Warriors and Bridge Burners happen to be, I will. It will be the week after next though, as we will have to have yet another extra round Monday week.

GAA forum is that way -->:p

Tommy Tigers still didn't accept so I accepted Bridge Burners.. I can cancel if needs be?

Bridge Burners and Banner Warriors, any updates on the fixtures?

my fault, I thought that I had missread the PM and issued a friendly request to Banner Warriors as well as MM's

Orizio

You can't cancel friendlies, and why could you not just have waited for Tommy to accept? If he didn't then I would simply have put you through.

So what I now need from both of you is your adresses, and whether you want death by hurley slowly or death by hurley excruciatingly slowly...:D

As I said, we have time to have another round, but further cock-ups like this will mean the team that made the cock-up gets kicked out as there is only 5 rounds of games left.

Damn that means 2 weeks till the next round

Orizio

Afraid so, unless people want us to simply kick out Bridge Burners and Banner Warriors.

jprender

There are plenty of weeks left so I say let them play this one out.

However, if I get thru the next round and one of those teams beats me, I will not be impressed

(I'm also off on hols so it suits me to have a week off too !!)

fenris

I can drop out if that helps

This is my feeling as well; however I feel they need to be punished. A fiver to everyone on this thread perhaps?

jprender

Yeah a fiver to all managers should do the trick. :pac:

Cant have any more mistakes going forward though.

Noopti

How did you work out the odds?

I'll take me at 10-1....

MikeCork2009

Ah its fairly rough odds. Fairly tight since the teams aint played that much yet. Just based it loosely on the first round scores. Those teams who had no match are unknown so their big odds could still be gr8 value. As for the individual fixtures, they are based on the outright odds but again are fairly tight seeing as the teams are all fairly new and not much form to go by except for some league data.

I will be interested to see how good my odds are after tonights games I'd definitely be lumping on me at 7/1...much too long odds....I hope

Noopti

johnnysmack

Xavi is teaching me a lesson at the min. its only 8-0 to him but i cant get out of my half. pity you cant make substitutions but i suppose il just have to put the fear of god into the players at the break.

Gelio

Winning 14-7 at the break, came back from 7-0 down

Noopti

Very error strewn start to the 2nd half in my game

MikeCork2009

My fecking kicker can't kick!

More training for him I guess.

Edit: Those game stats are depressing
