I had a nightmare of a game, at least i only have to play u once:)

Johner

You were playing well. The scoreline flatters me alot with loads of goals coming late on. Cheers for the game.

munsterdevil

Inter Milan (seanythep) 1
Everton (Brendan Murphy) 0

steve Heighway lost his internet connection after just a minute I'd say

So

Inter Milan/seanythep 3
Juventus/Steve Heighway 0

Genuinely bad luck Mate, you looked fairly lively

Great game

I have to say i'm completely sickened not to get something from the game, almost did an istanbul style comback from 5-2 down, to come away with nothing is heartbreaking. Still well played, was a cracking match, i just wish i finished that last chance with riera

lebowski11

Juventus (SteveHeighway) 2-2 Liverpool (Fat Lad)....
Great game.I got my first goal with a speculative effort from halfway that hit the crossbar and then Reina before finding the net.We both had chances to win it,Fat Lad probably unlucky not to win in the end.

Juventus (SteveHeighway) 4-1 Everton (BrendanMarphy)

Juventus (SteveHeighway) 2-1 Chelsea (completecrones)...
The result came up as 3-0 to me.Completecrones must have turned off his console during the end game credits.

Juventus (SteveHeighway) 0-3 Inter Milan (seanythep)...
Disgusted after this one.My connection went in the first couple of minutes.When I went back to the free roam area the xbox completely froze.Not good.

Is "Speculative effort" code for tip off shot? Cause thats not really on. Or was it just a go from miles out during the game?

lebowski11

Why would I use code?I tipped off and had a shot.Why is it not on?I'm not being a smart arse here but I just reread the charter and theirs nothing in it about shots from the halfway.If its problem I won't do it anymore.

Kirby

Several reasons. There is nothing speculative about it. If you do it right its a goal or a corner. Its an exploit in the game. You don't see tip off goals in real football. need I go on? There are about 10 reasons why its not on. and you knew it if you were honest with yourself.

lebowski11

Kirby,if I'm being being honest with myself I pressed the shoot button and the ball went in.I don't need to use code because I'm the one who posted here about the goal.Let me explain myself again in case its not clear where I'm coming from.Its not written in the rules that you can't score from tip off so why would I question the validity of my own goal?On the other hand if Futureguy,Y2J or fatlad say they have issue with the goal when then I'll be happy to replay the match.Don't tell what I should or shouldn't know when I'm being honest with myself Kirby,your not my wife.

miralize

Yes but its widely considered a glitch in the game.

Honestly if someone wins by doing that there is no skill involved, hence there's no point even playing the game.

lebowski11

Look mate like I said if its an issue I'll happily replay the game.I never thought for a minute that it would be issue to be honest,maybe Kirby thinks otherwise but theirs nothing I can do about that.If I had something to hide I wouldn't have mentioned the goal when I posted the scores.

miralize

Its not a question about your honesty. Its about playing the game fairly.

Y2J_MUFC

I've talked to lebowski. Its sorted now. Avoid shooting from halfway from kick off, it saves hassle on here after the game. I'll update the first post to mention it specifically when I have a chance.

If you've got more to say, take it to PM.

It didnt bother me too much mate. Its the first time someone has actually scored one of them so I was just impressed!

lebowski11

Cheers Johner.I was shocked when it went in myself.Never seen one going in off the keeper before.Y2J explained to me that its an unwritten rule in the boards league about tip off shots.I won't be doing it again.

Johner

Liverpool(Fat Lad10) 3 - 4 Liverpool(IrishWolverine)

Fairly even game well played.

Parawind

Liverpool(Parawind) 2 - 1 Liverpool(Irish Wolverine)

Really close game, i was 1-0 up biting my nails for so long in this one before i finally got what i though was the nerve settler, only for him to go an score, lucky for me there wasn't enough time to grab a second.


Liverpool(Parawind) 5 - 0 Man Utd(ROCCORK)

TBH my finishing was shocking in this one, i probably should have put a few more in, ya were unlucky roccork i think my system worked well against you.

Johner

Liverpool(Fat Lad10) 12 - 1 Man Utd(ROCCORK)

Roccork played well second half and should have scored more than one.

rocally

Tonight seems to be a 'lets hammer roccork night ' trouced in every game . ha - have to say Splender , parawind and fat lad were on a different level to me

munsterdevil

Inter/seanythep 2
Liverpool/Irish Wolverine 5

Missed a load of chances in this match and made some stupid defensive errors

Inter/seanythep 0
Liverpool/Parawind 4

After he got the fourth goal, tha screen went black and no one could do anything, so I did the logical thing and disconnected, as I had no way back

oh yours went black thats odd, in mine i was running to celebrate and my guy stopped and it just hung there watching him. Thanks for dcing, shame we will never know what might have happened

Liverpool(Parawind) 4 - 0 Juventus(SteveHeighway)

Was a good game, played well in this one.

Corcs001

Inter(V3n0m01) 0 - 4 Juventus(SteveHeighway)

GG scored all his goals in the first half and thought I played well in the second.

Inter(V3n0m01) 2 - 1 Liverpool(Parawind)

GG but I probably didn't deserve the win overall!

Just out of curiosity are you allowed try to block the keeper when he's kicking out?

Ya that was kinda mean, but if your silly enough to kick it at me you kinda deserve to be punished is my thought.

Frankly you deserved the win, i let my frustration get the better of me, failed to take my chances.

seanog18 - corcaigh09

very good game. probably defended the best so far. came so close to scoring a second on 89 minute

bonescap

Arsenal 2-1 Liverpool(Parawind)

I was lucky to come away with the win in this one. Parawind led for most of the game, i got my equalizer around the 70th minute and scored the winner in the 87th

miralize

Was robbed from SteveHeighway. Winning 2 - 0 at hlf time. He got a draw first but 88-89 minute he scored a cracker of a header

final score 2 - 3 to SteveHeighway

Parawind

my head might just explode, i have just lost 3 games in a row, that tbh i shouldn't have. 3 times i have conceded in about a 87th min or later, i might just go cry now

My other match was fine , thats what puzzles me !
I have a feeling its more Eircom than EA though, my friend has Perlico and he never has any problems on Fifa!

corcaigh07

seanog 1-0 corcaigh

good game, sean og won the tactics battle, he had a strange formation of at least 5 defenders and kept putting through balls to his lonely striker up top and it worked. the goal came early and it helped him settle and control the game. i had a few clear cut chances that i should have put away but the best i deserved was a draw, sean played cleverly

steveheighway 0-2 Corcaigh

this went well for me. steve's attacking tactics were low through balls to the front two every time which I coped with reasonably well. 0-0 at half time, i changed my approach and it worked like a dream with two quick goals.

corcaigh 3-2 Parawind

i nicked this to be fair. it was my first game of the night and i couldnt get going. i made a lot of basic mistakes and the game itself seemed to conspire against me. Para's first goal was one of those goals where the keeper wouldnt react to my fecking come out command and the defender didnt give a monkeys! i hate those goals, hopefully the goalie doesnt act so odd in fifa 10.

got a lucky goal myself later though when I robbed the ball from a poorly taken free kick.
my last goal was nicely worked though and I was delighted! tough luck on parawind though, he deserved at least a draw.

(SteveHeighway) Juventus 0-4 Liverpool (Parawind)

Had no answer to whatever tactic Parawind was using here and was soundly beaten.I'm surprised u lost 3 games after this one man,you were on fire against me.

(SteveHeighway) Juventus 0-2 Inter (Corcaigh09)

Corcaigh was well worth his win here.I was using a defensive tactic that left my strikers very isolated in these 2 games.Hence the aimless through balls.Won't be doing it again.

(SteveHeighway) Juventus 1-0 Man Utd (ROCCORK)

Scored a late winner in this one.Think I hit the post or crossbar 4 times beforehand.Glad to get the win.

(SteveHeighway) Juventus 4-0 Inter (V3n0m01)

Got 4 quick goals but Inter had the better of the second half.

(SteveHeighway) Juventus 3-2 Barcelona (seanog18)

Great game.Seanog's defensive system was frustrating the life out of me in the first half and he was worth his 2 goal lead.Started pumping high balls and crosses at the pygmies in Barcelona's defence in the second half and it worked a treat.Scored my second headed goal to win with no time left.You deserved more from this one seanog.I got lucky.

Ah i was stupid, it was all Corcaigh09's fault lol, after i gave away the ball for him to score from my freekick, i let my frustration take over. I was doing silly things that i shouldn't have. What was even more stupid was i kept trying to hard to force the next 2 games and got caught right at the end in both. I should have put the controller down and backed away from the xbox until i had claimed down a bit, but no i decided to play on so i can't really blame anyone but myself.

without sounding cocky, i had a feeling that was the root to your other defeats. That was such a paniciky game at both ends, i was well shaken after it, lol! i am and I'm not looking forward to our next match
