JFL Season 2

[AngryPaul]

Well, the poll (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/forum/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=1967) has spoken and with an 8-2 majority the JFL triumphed over the WSL concept.

So here we are at a new season of the JFL. Welcome.

The teams on offer are....

Birmingham South: Dingbat
Coventry Forrest: Thomp
FC Bristol: Shane
FC Mersey: dogincognito
FC Reading: Disgruntledgoat
Edinburgh City:
Glasgow United:
Leeds Wednesday: Mr stabby
London North: JonnyFFmaster
Stockport FC: seaempty

It is a first come first serve basis. However, teams are now jumbled from Season 1 (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12864). The players who were on fire may not be as great. Players who were cack maybe be world-beaters.

Needed!
* Fixture creator
* 8 more managers
* Graphic designer (kits, badges)
* JFL board (1 Pres, 4 Reps)

JFL Board
President: AngryPaul
Board: dogincognito, JonnyFFmaster, Shane

[seaempty]

I'll take Stockport FC again, if I may. I love those lads. They're a very special bunch.

[AngryPaul]

Stockport Opt For Past Glories
Stockport FC have revelaed that for the new coming 2nd season of the JFL they will be re-hiring ex-manager seaempty. It once again strikes up the relationship on its 3rd attempt. In the first season of the JFL, seaempty led Stockport to a mid-table finish in his first season in charge before stepping down, unsatisfied with that acheivement. Stockport were then tipped for the drop before seaempty made an emphatic u-turn and led them to an amazing 3rd place until the sad demise of the original Season 2 after 12 weeks.

The Chairman spoke of seaempty's return: "It is brilliant that we can have such an experienced manager on board again. Obviously everyone remembers the achievements of seaempty's first and second stints at the club, now maybe we can make the 3rd one the greatest yet. The club is chuffed to have a past master to lead us into the future."


FC Bristol Appoint Local Shane
FC Bristol, have continued their proud tradition of local managers by appointed local fella Shane for the forthcoming JFL Season 2. Shane beat off competition from fellow Bristolian AngryPaul to the hotseat. FC Bristol finished 3rd in Season 1 after taking the title down to the last day before succumbing to winners Glasgow United.

The FC Bristol chairman said of the apponitment: "Shane is a great aquirement for this club. We deserve a place among the elite and Shane showed his skill keeping Birmingham South up in Season 1, so we think he can lead us to the top. Where we belong."


JFL Clubs On Lookout
After the appointment of new managers at both Stockport FC and FC Bristol, the reminaing JFL teams are on the lookout for new leaders as the second season of JFL comes even closer. Shane and [/i]seaempty[/i] have been snapped up by FC Bristol and Stockport FC respectivley, with AngryPaul also in the frame for a number of the managerless sides.

When asked about his interests, AngryPaul responded without revealing any names: "The JFL is one of the most exciting leagues in the world, and it is still in its infancy and still growing by the season. It was unfortunate for the last season to deteriorate after my illness and I apologise for that, but now we are looking forward to a triumphant return. I have had several offers from certain clubs, but I am not going to rush, and I know that there are other managers about looking to pounce on certain teams. Hopefully we can all get a job and everyone can be happy at their new clubs."

[dogincognito]

I'll take FC Mersey, to stop Jonny and Streety fighting over it. :p

What is the "JFL board (1 Pres, 4 Reps)" thing about?
Also I could do some kits and badges if you can't get anyone better...

[AngryPaul]

What is the "JFL board (1 Pres, 4 Reps)" thing about?Basically a board for the JFL. I'm, obivously, at the head, but I thought having 4 representatives might be good, because then we can discuss certain actions, whatever I may need. Therefore I don't rule with an iron fist. :evil:

[dogincognito]

That sounds cool, I'll do that. :)

[Mr stabby]

I'll take FC Mersey, to stop Jonny and Streety fighting over it. :p

Due to lack of time the only thing im going for is glasgow united's Manager.

[streety]

I am after FC Mersey and the Graphic Designer Job as previously discussed. I am willing to submit a portfolio if required...

[/ooo professional]

[Shave]

i'll put myself down for the board and i'll see what i can do about drawing up some fixtures

[jonffm]

I'll go for London North this time around :)

I wouldn't mind being a board member either.

[Disgruntledgoat]

FC Reading please.

[Dingbat]

Alright fine. I'll take pissing Birmingham.

[Shave]

FC Bristol Press Statement
Recently appointed manager, Shane Carmichael, had this to say about his new job:

"it gives me great pleasure coming to such a highly esteemed club. I've always supported FC Bristol from a young age, and it's a dream come true to be able to manage them. I feel confident that we can get a top half finish, and with the right players and tatics, we can get into the European places. I can predict great things from this club"

[Thomp]

I'll take Coventry Forrest

[AngryPaul]

I did a HUGE post in a media-stylee saying who's appointed who as manager, but as I was using IE instead of a non-working FireFox (gf's laptop) it crashed as I went to preview it. I cannot be fucked to type it out all again - it was around 6903 characters long with another article to come.

Basically....

DOGINCOGNITO: FC MERSEY
MR STABBY: LEEDS WEDNESDAY

So how do we decide who wins?

If you actualy read the other thread(s) then you would know that is a managment game. AngryPaul and his uncle(?) made a program in which they created players, added them to teams and then started a leauge, which he puts in use on here the weebls-stuff forums.

*prayers he gets glasgow*
Go on AngryPaul, you know you want to.

Indeed that is the story.

Basically before the game I need your teamsheet (11 players + 5 sub + formation) and then I play the games and tell you who wins (+ a little imagination and role-playing and we're set!)

[Thomp]

Sorry... once again my eyesight has let me down... :(

[AngryPaul]

Sorry... once again my eyesight has let me down... :(Thats ok. As long as you don't turn into Peej. ¬_¬

Any particular page that this is on becuase I got severely confused by the first three

[Captain]

Any particular page that this is on becuase I got severely confused by the first three

Well it is more or less spread out between it all.
When questions got asked AngryPaul answered.

By the way it is best, when reading full threads, that if you dont understand a post or two then go back and read them again, maybe even out loud. It helps you understand alot more.

[jonffm]

When will the teamsheets be issued? I think i'll wait till then to make my first press statement :D

[AngryPaul]

When will the teamsheets be issued? I think i'll wait till then to make my first press statement :DSoon. :ninja:

[Shave]

following on from what has been said, ap used a vidiprinter to get the scores as they happen and then post them, and if we were really good and ap wasn't busy then we would get every goal as it happened :D

[AngryPaul]

following on from what has been said, ap used a vidiprinter to get the scores as they happen and then post them, and if we were really good and ap wasn't busy then we would get every goal as it happened :DI did it twice. Thats how busy I can get.

It was actually the first and last days of the season.

[dogincognito]

So how do we decide who wins?
Flip a coin.

[AngryPaul]

Flip a coin.Thats too random.

I just pick who I like best.

[seaempty]

Thats ok. As long as you don't turn into Peej. ¬_¬
I liked Peej - his crapness amused me no end \o/ Ah...happy days.

[Thomp]

Thats too random.

I just pick who I like best.

Favouritism :p

[dogincognito]

Thats too random.

I just pick who I like best.
So that's why Peej always lost. :cool:

[Thomp]

Anywhoo, when we get our team details do we begin straight away, or do we set a date for each week?

[streety]

The Graphics will be done over the weekend and I suspect there will be a press conference in Edinburgh :)

[Mr stabby]

I wont be on the computers much this week due to an impending ban, but its only for this week and i can probably still squeeze an hour or two a night, so im still in.

[AngryPaul]

Anywhoo, when we get our team details do we begin straight away, or do we set a date for each week?Once I get the full set of fixtures, heres looking at you Shane, I will set the dates for the fixtures and cup rounds and then we will abide by that. Expect teamsheets around Wednesday time.

[jonffm]

Will the teams that qualified for Europe last season carry over?

And did London qualify? :D

[Thomp]

Once I get the full set of fixtures, heres looking at you Shane, I will set the dates for the fixtures and cup rounds and then we will abide by that. Expect teamsheets around Wednesday time.

Ok, that's all my questions :D

I'm not Peej am I? :(

...Oops, there's another question. Ignore it. I'm ready when everyone else is

[Shave]

fixture list now completed (page 2). i used a cunning trick of taking the fixture list for prem pens and swapping the teams in for names. for the second half of the season you can just swap the home and away teams round. sorted

JONNYFFM'S SILVER ASPIRATIONS

London North manager JonnyFFM has made it known that he intends to bring success to his new club in his first season at it's helm. "The JFL league is a tough one. There are alot of decent clubs in there, so no fixtures can be taken for granted. However, I believe we have the talent and depth to challenge for major silverwear." London North open their season at home against Stockport FC. "I'm quite happy with the fixture list. The lads will be hoping to take 3 points for the opening game against Stockport, but it won't be easy."

JonnyFFM also stated that summer transfers are a "Definate possibility" for London North. "I'll be hoping to bring a couple of new faces in the close season. Any squad could do with a little extra depth."


(Tis how the little media bits are done, for folk that be new :))

[Mr stabby]

Mr Stabby set to shine!
"Rookie Leeds Wednesday manager Mr stabby is excited about his first stint in Football management, he had this to say:
"Im excited about my first stint in Football Managment, its definately a step up from my days on FM2005"
When asked about his chances of keeping the club in the division Mr Stabby had this to say
"Yes, i think we can finish in the top half, as long as our players put the work in""
That was asian reorter Trisha Takanara(sp) reporting(FG joke :D)

[AngryPaul]

JFL Excitement Builds
JFL President AngryPaul was today entertaining the media as the build-up to the start of JFL Season Two really kicked-off.

*AP walks into a crowded boardroom at the JFL HQ in Bristol. Flashblulbs pop as he takes his seat next to board memebers Shane, dogincognito and JonnyFFmaster. He sips his glass of water and signals for the questions to begin.*

Journalist1: AngryPaul, fans of the JFL have been waiting for months for the annoucement of the actual date of kick-off for the second season. How close are we to hearing that announcement?

AP: Well, we have to take many things into consideration. We wanted all the teams to have been taken. That requirement has been fulfilled. We now want to move on to decide on a adequate period of pre-season to allow people to assess their squads and allow enough transfer activity to allow teams to be a their strongest. For the last step, we want all the teams to have settled with their new managers and for all the media contracts to be sorted. So to answer your question, I beleive we can expect an announcement of that kind sometime in the next week.

J2: We all knew you were interested and in line for a managerial job, either at Edinburgh, or any other JFL sides, what happened?

AP: The response to the managerial positions was overwheleming. We, the JFL board, never expected the positions to be filled so fast. It them came down to either one of the JFL's most popular managers or me in a managerial job. For the good of the game I stepped aside to allow our league to be even greater. Cos, lets be honest, I wasn't setting the world alight in Edinburgh last time was I?

*Journo's laugh*

J3: The teams have been given a shuffle in terms of players ability. Why did you decide to do this?

AP: The reason is simple. It creates a more exciting league. Last time, before my illness, teams were established and had a tag, such as "title chasers" or "relegation fodder", but with the reshuffle we might have those tags switched, and also it stopped all the managers in the know snapping up the best teams. I hope it makes it fairer.

One more.

J4: Will there be an more extensive transfer market this time around.

AP: One word: of course. *AP winks*

[Mr stabby]

so when do we get our teams then?

[Shave]

patience friend

[streety]

EDINBURGH CITY APPOINT STREETY
Edinburgh City have announced that streety is to take charge of the Scottish minnows with immediate effect. This comes as a shock to fans who thought that favourite Scotty McNugget was due to take over.

Edinburgh City chairman Dougie Howser had this to say "We are pleased to announce that streety will be the new manager of Edinburgh City. He comes to the club with a great reputation and I am sure he will take us forward and challenge for a place in Europe."

At a press conference in Glasgow, a jubilent streety proclaimed "I will turn this club around. Any team playing us will not get an easy game."

He added, "It will take time to adapt to the foreign way of life but I am sure I will learn to speak the language in a wee jiffy."

STOCKPORT FC TO BUILD ON SUCCESS

Following their successful campaign last year, seaempty vows to continue where the team left off, and aims for success.

"The task is there to maintain our high standards and improve, so I'll aim to win the title," said the manager, "There's been a few changes with the squad, but I'm confident that we can match any team in the league, and then some".

In a parting shot to the other managers, seaempty finished his statement with a warning. "Stockport are not a team to be taken lightly - never have and never will be. If you come here, you can expect a game, and you should be prepared".

[Captain]

Glasgow appoint Captain

Glasgow United today released that they have accepted Captain as their new manager. Captain had this to say. "Im glad i got this job.
I went to meet the lads today and their great people, i cant wait to get started.

"I think it will be a good season for Glasgow and im sure that we will not be relegated, i think we may have a fighting chance for some silver.
"Their are alot of experinced managers in this league and they will be hard to beat.
Our scottish rivals Edinburgh City will look to give us a good stuffing and so will everyone else. Lets hope the new boy can measure up aye."

[AngryPaul]

Right after my lie of having them done by Weds, the team-sheets will be completed this week!!

Then all we have to do is rack up the transfer-list and we can allow a week or two of pre-season and then we can rock on!

edit/ 3 down, 7 to go.

They are taking about 30 minutes each :eek:

[jonffm]

Ready today? :)

I'm gunna have a real fix of footy management now...finally got into this management game that like..well the second a clubs available, it's usually gone in about..2 hours. Tis a div 3 club, mind.

[streety]

I will also have the graphics done soon. The template is done so all I have to do is the badges on each one and change the kit design.

The badges are proving to be more difficult than i thought ¬_¬

[Thomp]

It's all sounding good guys, looking forward to it

[AngryPaul]

It's all sounding good guys, looking forward to itClubs frown on random name changes y'know ¬_¬

Last 2 teamsheets will be done tomorrow. Me promises. Would people rather have them attached in an email, or hosted somewhere and the link to every teamsheet posted here?

[streety]

Sent in email would be good so only we know our team and their abilities.
Hopefully the graphics will be done tomorrow. ;)

[Captain]

In here.
I think it would be more realistic, because teams in the premiership can see how good other players in the premiership are can't they.

[streety]

It would take more skill to see which players are doing well through assists and goals...

[Captain]

Hmm i guess.

PM's would be better if we want to keep it secret.
Then it stays within the forum.

[Dingbat]

Will the teams that qualified for Europe last season carry over?

And did London qualify? :D
Yes, you team-stealing no-good son of a...*ahem*

:p

[AngryPaul]

Right.

Teamsheets are done. I need emails so I can send them off.

Streety [Edinburgh City] : Sent+Received
Mr stabby [Leeds Wednesday] : Sent+Received
Thompotter [Coventry Forrest] : Sent

[Thomp]

Ok, so do we now select our first team for the first game then?

[Shave]

you know my addy ap, eat_youself_fitter@hotmail . com

just out of interest what are is the highest overall score possible and what are each individual score (eg fit) out of?

[streety]

I am going to have to do some major spending to be up with the big boys ¬_¬

[seaempty]

I've sent PM with my email address.

Just one query - I know last season we had to send you a team sheet every week. I know it's being lazy, but is it possible just to send you a new team sheet if you want to make changes? So we send in one at the beginning of the season, and that one is used for all the matches unless we say otherwise? Or is that being a pain?

[AngryPaul]

just out of interest what are is the highest overall score possible and what are each individual score (eg fit) out of?The overall is the total of all the scores, about 6/7 of them, whereas I've given you the main attributes. The highest possible score in a single attribute is 7. Don't know why its such a random number.

"I noes! Lets rate everyone out of 36!"

I know it's being lazy, but is it possible just to send you a new team sheet if you want to make changes? So we send in one at the beginning of the season, and that one is used for all the matches unless we say otherwise? Or is that being a pain?Yes that is lazy. I've done quite a bit of work for this the least you can do is send a PM every Wednesday! :p

[streety]

AP the front page needs updating...

[seaempty]

Yes that is lazy. I've done quite a bit of work for this the least you can do is send a PM every Wednesday! :p
Fair do's fella - I'll get my lazy arse in gear! I just thought it might have been easier in a way, as I thought it might have been less work for you to do every week.

[Thomp]

We just waiting on Streety with his designs for kits now then?

[streety]

We just waiting on Streety with his designs for kits now then?
Well I have done 5 of the 10 teams.
I am going to get cracking this afternoon.

Birmingham South confirm new manager installed
In a press conference today, Birmingham South finally admitted to the rumours being true; they have employed Dingbat to be their manager next season. A club spokesman said "Our manager is very happy here, he will soon be meeting and finding more out about the players and the team available to him and hopefully that means we can move onward and upward".

[Thomp]

Coventry Forrest appoint newbie

Coventry Forrest unveiled their new manager today, Mr Tom Power. Relatively new to the game, Tom is excited at the prospect at having the opportunity to compete amongst some of the best managers at this level

"It's an honour to manage such a good club. The players, the fans and the board have been good to me so far, and I hope to stay at the helm for years to come"

Power can't wait to come up against such heavy weights as Shane and Dingbat, but knows the challenges ahead will test his ability

More teamsheets have wung their way out.

[Captain]

I have a question.

Is 1 a good fitness or bad?

And another.

Is the overall out of 50 or 100?

[AngryPaul]

I have a question.

Is 1 a good fitness or bad?1 is the lowest rating.Is the overall out of 50 or 100?just out of interest what are is the highest overall score possible and what are each individual score (eg fit) out of?The overall is the total of all the scores, about 6/7 of them, whereas I've given you the main attributes. The highest possible score in a single attribute is 7. Don't know why its such a random number.Therefore the highest possible marking is around 49 methinks.

[seaempty]

you wait until there is a list

[AngryPaul]

So how do we buy in new players if there isn't a list?You PM me with the positions you want and the limits regarding rating and money.

I'll then send you back a shortlist of the players that match the requirements.

[dogincognito]

AP I don't have a teamsheet? http://67.18.37.18/2230/185/emo/dntknw.gif

[Shave]

it's the new spin on the league

every season one unfortunate player doesn't get his/her teamsheet and therefore has to guess their players names and positions :p

(for any idiots out there this is not really the case, i was just joking)

[AngryPaul]

Right. Temasheets have been sent to doggy and seaempty. If they work then the JFL will be underway in just over a week after the esitmated date ¬_¬

God its taken me ages.

Kick-off for the league has shifted to 16th Novemeber to give people a chance to sort out transfers and pre-season friendlies!

To request a friendly with a non-JFL team PM the region you want to play and I'll locate the teams in that area available for freindlies. If you want to play a JFL team, PM them and let me know and I'll set it up!

To get a list of players available for transfer, PM me with the positions, min/max stats required and I'll PM you with the players. Then to make a bid basically PM me back with the player/s you want to bid on and how much. Simple!

Sorry its taken so long :(

[Thomp]

That's ok, I'll do that when I get home

[streety]

Seems a lot of work for you...
I will sort out my team when I get back from college.

[AngryPaul]

Kick-off in two days everybody. Transfer market seems quiet.

Teamsheets will be welcome from now onwards up until the 7pm kick-off time. You have to send one!


Week One:

Birmingham South vs Coventry Forrest
FC Mersey vs FC Bristol
FC Reading vs Edinburgh City
Glasgow United vs Leeds Wednesday
London North vs Stockport FC

Mersey manager speaks

New FC Mersey manager dogincognito spoke to the press for the first time today.

The enigmatic manager has already proved a contreversial figure since his appointment as FC Mersey manager. He was handed the post several weeks ago, but only held his first training session today, two days before the JFL kick off. He has refused to comment on why he has turned up so late, but did give his thoughts on his current squad and the club as a whole.

"I have the spine of a great team here, but the squad needs to be strengthened. The fans here expect success, and I aim to give it to them, but this season our aim has to be a European place. I will be looking to strenghten the team in the transfer market as soon as possible."

"This is a great club, the biggest in the country and one of the biggest in the world. In the long term we should be aiming to dominate this league."

[Shave]

in the middle of transfers, when that's done i'll send the sheet off

[AngryPaul]

So, do we PM you our team selection too?Yup. First XI and then 5 subs. Also a formation would be handy.

JonnyFFmaster Eager For First Day

JonnyFFmaster quashed any doubts of first day nerves, as he announced his side are and waiting to impose their name on the JFL league tables top spot with a first day victory against seaempty's Stockport FC.

"I can't wait!" said newly appointed JonnyFFmaster. "We've been training all summer for this, and I have full faith that the lads are good enough to not only overcome this challenge, but a vast majority that are throw at them. We've got the talent to go all the way this season." The clearly hungry manager also singled out striker van Hooven for special praise. "I've always had my eye on the lad. He's a great finsher, and a real asset to the team. Who can forget the winner he scored in last seasons cup final? I'm sure it'll be in the back of the minds of the Stockport defense come tommorow!".

London North will have the home advantage over Stockport on the first day of the season, as both managers search for a win to get their league campaigns off to a positive start.

[seaempty]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/seaempty/Stockport.jpg

Seaempty has hit back at critics who claim that they are odds on for defeat for their first match this evening.
"I've read that London North's manager believes his team will secure an easy victory", said the manager. "It is true that they have the home advantage, but I know that no game we play in will be a walkover. Young Johnny's a great manager, but he lacks the experience, and that may be prominent tonight".

When asked about his lack of activity in the transfer market, seaempty replied "we've got a great squad here, and we should have enough quality to mount a serious challenge. If needs be, I've got the full backing of the board to bring in one or two players who can do a job for us. But we currently have players that fit into my system".

When questioned whether this means that any failure rest solely on his shoulders, seaempty mustered a "no comment". Has the manager dug his own grave before a ball has even been kicked? Only time will tell.

[Thomp]

Power looking forward to first win in charge

New manager of Coventry Forrest, Tom Power, spoke today of his eagerness to get the season underway with a win against Birmingham South

Speaking to the press today, he explained that the challenge ahead is tough, but he intends to do his upmost to push for honours this season:

"It's a tough start, Birmingham have some decent players, and a good manager. However, I remain confident enough that my side can at leat be a match for them, and hopefully we can cause them problems and nick a goal or two"

When asked on the matter of transfer targets, Power seemed quietly optimistic:

"I intend to bring in some players to bolster our numbers, and I hope that they settle quickly and aid us in our attempt to lift the trophy come the end of the season"

JonnyFFmaster continues war of words

London North coach JonnyFFmaster has continued his war of words with Stockports Seaempty ahead of tonights opening JFL clash.

Seaempty had earlier branded JonnyFFmaster as young and inexperienced after the London North boss had doubted Stockports chances of overcoming his team in their opening day fixture. After reading his opposite numbers comments in a local newspaper, JonnyFFmaster was said to be furious at the "Blantant disrespect" shown by the Stockport coach, and vowed to prove his teams and indeed his own worth on the pitch tonight. He added; "I have alot of respect for the other managers of JFL, but it seems that sometimes a few of them can be guilty of talking without thinking.".

London North entertain Stockport later tonight at The Liberty Arena, and after this intensive exchange of views between managers, it is destined to be a heated match.

FC Bristol Manager Shane States His Joy At New Signing

Shane spoke for a few short minutes outside the ground about the confirmation of new signing Laigle. He had this to say:

"Laigle is a great talent and should be a tremendous assest to the club. He will provide the pace and flair down the left hand side that we have so far been lacking and will get the opportunity to have plenty of attacks in the formation i have been working on, though i won't be giving away too much info about that until the start of the match!

London North 2-3 Stockport FC
[LN] Van Hooven (68'), Maxim (71')
[ST] Wheatcroft (27'), Anja (69', 79')
mom: Anja


Birmingham South 3-1 Coventry Forrest
Birmingham started the season with a bang as a 12-minute blitz sealed the win. The game started lively with Coventry having an early penalty shout being turned down. From that clearance Birmingham attacked and Viez fed the ball to Lucas who made no mistake. The next 10 minutes saw some great attacking play from Coventry and Samu'Nagy hit the post before Lucas slotted cooly for his second. Coventry had hardly kicked-off before it was 3-0 as Viez ran clear and beautifully chipped McArthur from 18 yards. Half-time couldn't come sson enough for a shell-shocked Coventry. However, they came out fighting for the 2nd half. Janos hammering home from 25-yards on 59 minutes. Birmingham withheld some pressure for a further 10 minutes and then went on the offesnive. Lucas and Viez were relentless and without the efforts of McArthur in the Coventry goal it would have been an embaressment of a score. As it stood it was a fiar reflection for all Coventry's effort.

FC Mersey 1-1 FC Bristol
A match billed as the pick of the opening week, this tepid affair was dissapointing, but will be seen as a safe start to the season with both teams sure to imporve. Both sides we cagey in the first half with Ody's run down the wing, cutting in and rifling being the only real action. To use the old cliche: 'both teams cancelled eachother out'

FC Mersey, to their credit, fought valiantly in the 2nd half to secure the point, most of all Johnson. He hassled the Bristol defence and it was his shot that was tipped onto the post that gave the corner he nodded in. He deserved the man-of-the-match award for his effort and "never say die" attitude that got Mersey a well deserved point.

FC Reading 0-0 Edinburgh
Edinburgh will be dissapointed with only a point as they easily outplayed their hosts. Heart had the most chances, at least five, but he was continuously hampered by the inspired Joel in the Reading goal. The match got off to a sensational bould-up as manager Disgruntledgoat failed to turn up. He will surely be receiving a JFL repremand and also a warning from his club. As for the match, it was an exciting game, for a neutral, but frustrating for Edinburgh fans, and nerve-shooting for Reading fans as their defence was breached time and time again. Joel earent this point for Reading and thoroughly desered the MoM award.

Glasgow United 1-1 Leeds Wednesday
A controversial penalty decision gave Leeds Wednesday a deserved point. Wonsik ran into the Glasgow box only to take the ball away from Portman in the Glasgow goal and fall over his hand, despite a clear lack on contact.
Earlier in the game Glasgow had started brightly and Kosevski, lively throughout the match, flashed an early shot wide, before scoring with a sublime chip on the edge of the box on 15 minutes. Leeds did not lie down and battled back with Hill also falshing a shot just inches wide.
After the break Leeds went in search of their equaliser and were constantly let down by a mixture of poor execution and excellent defending. Hill was the catalyst for the attacks as his passing initiated the attacks. It was his ball to Wonsik that led to the penalty. Overall it was a deserved draw.

London North 2-3 Stockport FC
Stockport pulled off a fantastic win in a thrilling game in London. Firstly Stockport got London on the back foot from the start. They attacked with intent and prupose and were rewarded when a deflected free-kick fell to right-back Wheatcroft on the edge of the area who's placed shot was more like something expected from a striker. Stockport failed to capitalise for the rest of the half and London dragged themselves back. London blitzed Stockport, and van Hooven seized on a slip by Robinson to nip in and score. Stockport hit back immediatley and Anja slipped in at the back post to score from a cross from de Vito. Again the game did not settle and Jones one-two'd with Andreas and then chipped for Maxim to volley home. The rest of the game was just as frantic, with Anja sealing a deserved 3 points with a fine 30-yard drive 11 minutes form time.

Table to follow....

[Shave]

1-1. not a bad start, was a hard game and i think it's a fair result. lads have done themselves proud but i know what we have to work on

Stockport Secure Narrow Victory

After their narrow win over London North, their manager seaempty had this to say:

It was a fantastic performance, and we deserved the win. We controlled the game from the start. We gave away two silly goals, and I'll be getting the lads to watch the video next week. We were bombarded after the break, but credit to Anja - he is a fantastic prospect, and quite rightly got the man of the match award.

I'm happy that there were a few draws, so it gives us a good start in this league.

STREETY RUES MISSED CHANCES
Edinburgh City were held to a nil nil draw away to FC Reading. It was the away side which came closest to breaking the deadlock with Heart going close several times.

After the match, Edinburgh boss streety had this to say "We came here looking to get something from the match and would've settled for a draw but after dominating for 90 minutes we feel we should've got something from the game."

"We hope to strengthen before the next game with a couple of signings. This should create more competition for places. There is noone guaranteed to start every game."

Power disappointed by poor performance

Today, Coventry Forrest manager Tom Power told the press of his disappointment of Wednesday's loss:

"It wasn't the best of performances, at times we were over-run by the opposition, and we didn't create too many chances, but credit to Birmingham South who played well"

Power is hoping to bring in some new quality to his already struggling team, as The Sun predicts a drab season for Coventry:

"I do intend to bring in new faces, as we need to bolster our squad in certain areas. As for what The Sun said, it's very harsh to start predicting the outcome for my team after one game this season. We'll prove them wrong"

[Captain]

WAKE UP!

Today Captain told the Glasgow fans to wake up.
"you have to cheer on the lads, even if we are having a bad half or game.
"What happened to that spirit i heard of when i took the job up? last game it was like you were all asleep.
" I expect a lot more next game."

Question time with Mr Stabby
Tonight new Leeds manager Mr Stabby faces the Paxman-like questioning of Jake Mitchell on subjects like Football, other sport, and the number 7.

Q : So, Mr Stabby, what made you apply for the Leeds Wednesday job in the first place?

MS : Well ever since i was small i wanted to be involved in football, but a horrible injury left me with a wooden leg, so that ruled me out of playing, so i chose the next best thing, Managing.

B : How horrific was this injury, can you elaborate?

MS : Well, i was playing cricket, and a high pitching bowl came through my visor and smashed me in the face, i stumbled backwards, and fell, the middle stump went straight through my leg, it was terrible.

Q : Oh dear, that is bad, who did you learn your managment talents from?

MS: Years of shouting abuse at (the) TV, as well as Football Manager for PC, and i have all the qualifications.

Q: Did you have a back-up plan if you didnt make it in football?

MS: I was going to live on the streets sword fighting with fellow amputees, using our fake limbs.

Q: O..k, so you didnt fancy going to the paralympics?

MS: Oh, it crossed my mind, but It never happened.

Q: Do you have any superstitions?

MS: Ive got a thing about the number 7.

Q: What kind of thing?

MS: Not telling

Q: Please?

MS: No

Q: Ok, well we've ran out of time, thank you for your time.

FC READING MANAGER WAKES FROM COMA

FC Reading fans were relieved today to hear of their manager's recovery after he was attacked by a fan of the previous manager in a local nightclub.

Disgruntledgoat has been in the intensive care unit of a private medical centre since the attack when he was celebrating his new post as manager of the prestigious JFL club.

When he was finally asked about his feelings about the new job earlier today he said "Who are you? Where am I? NURSE!!" It would seem that Mr. Goat is taking exactly the same interest in Reading as he was in his previous managerial roles.

His assistant manager, Nick Akass, took charge of their last match, where the team drew 0-0.

London North seek first victory

London North manager JonnFFmasterhopes that his side will preform tonight, and pick up a much needed three points.

"We wern't great in the first game, but I think we deserved a draw..however, we need to put that behind us and focus on the next game. Tonight, the lads need to preform before we lose track of the pack."

London North play away at Leeds Wednesday tonight, with one point seperating the two.

Chitty Chitty Brum Brum

Seaempty's Stockport look to build upon their birght start to the season with the visit of Birmingham tonight.

"Birmingham had a good win last week, but I think they'll find it a bit tougher here. I think the scoreline flattered them a bit, and we should be able to get the 3 points. The boys are really up for it, and, although it'll be a tough game, with this crowd behind us I'd be disapointed with any other result".

What is already being dubbed a crucial six-pointer, the winner knows that they will go top of the league. It should be a good match, with two attacking teams. Let's hope it lives up to the expectation.

[Thomp]

Yeh, just let AP take his time over it. Doesn't matter if it's two/three days late does it? :)

[AngryPaul]

I remember forums things were put on hold while Jake was ill.Which is usually quite often. :rolleyes:Yeh, just let AP take his time over it. Doesn't matter if it's two/three days late does it? :)Well, I might just rollover a week and oush the schedule a week forward so Week 2 will be played this Wednesday.

[AngryPaul]

AP - do you want us to resend teamsheets if we already sent them last week?I still have them, so no.

[AngryPaul]

Coventry Forrest 2-2 FC Mersey
FC Mersey were frustrated by an amazingly resiliant Coventry as they drew their second match of the season. Coventry started the brightest with Samu'Nagy flashing a drive just wide inside 10 minutes. However, it was Mersey who sprang into life in the 20th minute as van gaart and King combined to slot through for Johnson to turn and score his 2nd goal in as many games. Coventry responded immediatley as Janos made a fine run and forced a fine save from Nikolov. From the resulting corner, Papadimitri thundered home a volley for the equaliser. In the second-half Coventry simply resisted all that Mersey threw at them. Mersey managed to breach the defence on 70 minutes when a kind deflection ina a scramble allowed Meldrew to score from 8 yards. Mersey continued to pressuer Coventry, but the defence - Kemeny and Oswald in particualr - resisted. Mersey's frustration was compounded in the 83rd minute as a counter-attacking pass from Andres allowed Silverton to score.

FC Bristol 2-1 FC Reading
Local manager Shane recorded his first win in charge of Bristol as they produced a fine display against a bright Reading. Both sides screated many great passages of play and it was one of those that gave Reading the lead in the 36th minute. Taeha cut inside and layed the ball off to Black, whose placed shot beat Powell. Bristol hit back and went into the break level. Ody's clever run allowed Silverman to find the space to score. After the restart Bristol imposed their determination on the game and restricted Reading to a few runs on the wings. Eventually a Jung Lee free-kick in the 76th minute settled the fixture.

Edinburgh City 3-3 Glasgow United
A brilliant Glasgow derby was ruined by crowd trouble and an early mass brawl on the pitch. The game started amidst missles being thrown by both sides and it soon influenced the game. Kappo was victim to a horror tackle by Martins and de Vito soon charged in and struck him. This led to all 22 men getting involved in a brawl that led to 8 minutes of first-half stoppage time. After the battle was calmed, JFL referee Jeff Brinkley booked 6 players and sent-off Martins for the challenge and de vito for the punch. Although those scenes will mar the memory of the game, they opened it up and both teams produced some great play. Dongjin's one-two with Aldeke, and cross led to Kosevski's header on 24 minutes. Edinburgh, spurred by their support, stunned Glasgow with their response. Rosadinho scored a wonder goal, taking the ball from the kick-off, skipping past three players, spinning and slamming a 35-yard drive in on the turn [25']. They then took the lead as a mistake from the Glasgow restart allowed Victor to combine with Rower, whose well placed shot beat Portman [25']. Glasgow managed an equaliser just before the break as Brinkley awarded a penalty for a handball by Doskey. Kosevski stepped up and played it down the middle (45'+). The second-half was of a lower tempo, but still high in passion, a few more reckless tackles led to bookings. Kappo, hobbling from the early tackle, got his revenge by scoring a free-kick [66'], but Edinburgh weren't beaten. They pressurised Glasgow and finally, and dramatically, Burton turnt a Rower cross into his own net to end a thrilling match [89'].

Leeds Wednesday 2-0 London North
Leeds Wednesday recorded a maiden win against an unlucky London North. Leeds stunned London, with their fortune, in an early start. Two key slips by defenders allowed Wonsik to nip in and score in the 2nd and 5th minutes. London did have fight in them and both Maxim and van Hooven hit the post with fizzing shots, but Leeds rode their luck and remain unbeaten after two. London however can be pleased with the performance on a whole as they attacked well, but luck was simply not shingin on them today.

Stockport FC 2-0 Birmingham South
Stockport showed their class once again as they beat a poor Birmingham. The triple threat of Anja, Leeroy and Kishevrei was too much for Birmingham to handle as they were run ragged by the trio. Anja tested the Birmingham keeper on a number of occasions and it was one of his saved shots that dropped for Kishevrei to score [19']. Birmingham offered little and Stockport's only complaint maybe that they did not socre more. However, Anja - again the star of the show - supplied Leeroy and the Jamaican chipped the ball up and smashed a volley in from the edge of the area. It was a attractive performance as Stockport moved to the top of the league.

INCOGNITO FRUSTRATED BY RESILIANT FORREST

FC Mersey boss says defence rues lack of cutting edge after draw in Coventry.

Central midfielder Victor Meldrew's 70th minute strike looked likely to give Mersey a deserved victory until Silverton levelled in the 83rd minute. Mersey had previously led in the first half, John Johnson giving them the lead in the 20th minute only to be cancelled out by Papadimitri shortly afterwards.

"It was a much improved performance. We seem to be finding our feet now, but there is still room for improvement. But we lacked cutting edge, we had control of the game for at least 75 minutes of the game, but even when we pressurised we did not create enough clear cut chances. If we had done we would hvae killed them off, if they were two or three behind they would not have had it in them to come back. Credit to them for doing it but we should have won tonight. "

Next up for FC Mersey is the return of former manager Streety with his Edinburgh City side.

FC Bristol Manager Shane Pleased With Win

the new manager of FC Bristol stated how pleased he was to get a win under the belt and now that they had achieved it this was to be the building block where they can lay good foundations in what should be a tough season. Shane had this to say "A win is always good for the moral and it gets points on the board, so obviously i'm pleased. it's only our second game and a draw and a win are fair results and i only hope to improve this form"

[seaempty]

Lock, Stock, and Barrel

As Stockport cruised to the top of the league with an easy victory over Birmingham South, seaempty had this to say:

"It was a great performance and I'm very proud of the lads. The lad Anja is magnificent - a true professional. You saw it tonight. He ran this game and was trully inspirational.

We've had a gret start to the season and I hope we can continue. It is early days yet, but with this squad, I think we can win this league. If we keep putting in performances like that every week, it shouldn't be a problem.

[Dingbat]

Glasgow derby between Edinburgh and Glasgow, AP? :p

[Thomp]

Grr... why can't I win? :(

[Shave]

because there's only been two games, maybe you're team's not strong enough, maybe your tatics don't work, maybe your opposition has been better, maybe your team just didn't perform on the day, maybe ap's vidiprinter is biased and is an otterphobe, maybe you were just unlucky

good things come to those who wait. patience :)

[Thomp]

Stop talking about patience ¬¬

[Mr stabby]

3 points for Teh Wednesday, sweet.

[AngryPaul]

Grr... why can't I win? :(You got a draw though. At least you didn't lose. And if you read the report you'll find you played pretty well.

[Thomp]

Yeh I know, but who doesn't want to win their games?

Looking for my first win then next week :p

edit: By the way, when our players, who we've bought, come in, do we just add them to our squad or do we get Pm'd about them?

[AngryPaul]

By the way, when our players, who we've bought, come in, do we just add them to our squad or do we get Pm'd about them?As I've lost track feel free to add them to your squad, but please tell me who you've added and how much your bids were as my PM's with all that info has mysteriously vanished.

Also... I am toying with the idea of introducing a one-off fee for a season of JFL-plavoured entertainment. It is all to do with supporting the Betting Shop as I am currenty on around £270. Which isn't enough to back me up for results like Doncasters.

I am only asking for £100 from each manager and if you think its a poor idea and won't pay it.... tough.

[dogincognito]

Capitalist dog

But yeah I'd pay that. Also I should start betting again.

[streety]

I will pay it when I get some monehs. ¬_¬

Do I get some discount as I did all the graphics?

[Captain]

Id pay double that.

[AngryPaul]

Id pay double that.*edits post to say £1,000,000*

[jonffm]

AP, you capitalist bastard. :D

I'll fork up too. :P

[seaempty]

As I only have a meagre £98.70 to my name, I'll have to owe you the residual. It's ok - I guess my puppy's life saving operation can wait *sniff*

TENSE DERBY ENDS IN STALEMATE
A classic 3-3 draw at The Irn-Bru Stadium was marred by fighting amongst the rival supporters. Missles were thrown by both sets of supporters causing a 15 minute delay at kickoff.

However, this just made both teams more determined to win, which was evident on 16 minutes when Martins was late on Kappo. De Vito steamed in and threw a punch which led to a 22-man brawl. Both Martins and De Vito were sent off and will no doubt be facing further action by the JFL Football Association.

The highlight of the match was Rosadinho's wonder goal on 25 minutes. He dribbled past 3 players and slammed the ball in from all of 35 yards. The match finished in dramatic style with Edinburgh equalising in the 89th minute through a Burton own goal.

After the match, Edinburgh manager streety declined to talk to the press. It is understood that he angry at some of the decisions that went against his side.

What are the fixtures for this week?

Stock-a-doodle-do
Top of the table Stockport take on Glasgow tonight, in what should be a lively encounter. On the back of their Scottish derby last week, Stockport manager seaempty is fully aware of Glasgow's threat.

"They had a difficult game last week, and yet still managed to score goals. It would have been an uncomfortable atmosphere, and yet they did OK. Evidently they have some defensive weaknesses, and my strikers will be looking to exploit these. I'm looking for another three points, toenable us to really take command of this league".

[Thomp]

Power still looking for win

Manager of Coventry Forrest, Tom Power, is hoping that his players can finally give themselves a massive boost tonight by winning their first game of the season. Speaking to journalists, he said:

"We have to be committed to the moment. The first two games should be out of our minds by now, and we should be focusing on tonight's game. It will be a close encounter, but hopefully our players will have the energy to pull off our first win"

[Shave]

As in players actually put on the transfer list?

well, all players transfer listed and that were on the original list of players we could buy that you pm'ed us

[dogincognito]

Hope it's not too late to send my teamsheet.

[Thomp]

Just sent my teamsheet, hopefully it isn't too late :(

I think the transfer list should be re-done, as if you lost your original PMs then I can't remember who I bought, or some people might just generally be confused

[jonffm]

Sod! Forgot mine..went out for a drink for a couple of hours.

Gah :(

Though at this rate..the way the Man U game is going, AP will be too depressed to do the results anyways.

[Shave]

well, i only sent mine 10 mins ago. get it done quick jonny before ap gets online :p

[streety]

One of my purchases scored last week so they have been done.

I didn't hand in a team sheet as the team remains the same.

Shane disappointed with loss

FC Bristol manager shane has stated his disappointment with the recent loss to birmingham south. he only had this to say "2 wins out of 3 isn't bad, but every loss is a blow and i hope to suffer as few as possible"

[jonffm]

*Resists comment about result being due to Man U comment* XD

[Captain]

Captain delighted

Glasgow United manager captain says he is absolutely thrilled. "we went out against one of the best teams in the league.
"Our recent form says that we deserved a win and we got that.
"The lads will be celebrating tonight"

(Ill update the league table now, forgot last week)

[jonffm]

The tables going to make for depressing reading...I feel like Sir Alex :(

JFFM Definant, despite loss

London North manager JonnyFFmaster remains definant today, as his side slumped to another loss, which makes for the worst possible start to theit league campaign.

"Yeah, it was a bad loss. We where unlucky, and I felt we deserved a draw. However, we'll keep battling, and we will climb the table. People have not yet seen what this team has to offer."

JonnyFFmaster may need to start picking up points for London, before the chairmans axe starts to hover around his head.

[Captain]

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c310/Captain111/Leauge3.png

We bloody beat them but they're still top of the leauge.

[AngryPaul]

London Won't Sack Pr0nny
After recent reports in the media that JonnyFFmaster's job may be at stake if London's fortunes do not change were quickly batted away by the chairman of the club.

"We have only just installed Jonny as manager and everybody is trying to find their feet. Its happening in every club in the JFL. We won't be making any rash decision on the basis of 3 games. We are not Newcastle. Jonny will be staying at this club. We beleive in giving him the opportunity to prove himself. We are not in a great position at the moment, but we can recover. Jonny will be in cahrge when we do."

Table for y'all...

Don't have time for reports I'm afraid, but I'll gander at the scorers and post them sometime before next week. :eek:

Glasgowing Mad
After their defeat to Glasgow, Stockport FC's manager had this to say:
"In all my time in this game, have I never seen such an unfair game. It was like they had 12 men on the pitch, with some of the decisions the ref was giving. Their lads only had to run over a twig on the ground, and they'd get a free kick. When you're playing against decisions like that, it's always going to be tough. I feel we controlled the game, and from where I was sitting, certainly one of their goals was offside. I almost went up to the linesman and gave him my glasses, as I'm pretty sure he had forgotten his. But surprise, surprise, they got the favourable result. The lads are upset, I'm upset, the fans are upset. We'll bounce back though, and we're still top of the league, which is the best place to be in".

[AngryPaul]

JFL Take Steps To Warn Empty
The JFL board are taking steps to warn Stockport FC manager seaempty after his comments about the officials of Wednesday's game between Glasgow and league leaders Stockport, which Glasgow won 2-1. JFL President AngryPaul gave this statement:

"The JFL trys to allow for a abundant amount of room to allow managers to express their feelings, but we beleive that these comments were detremental to the officials that the JFL provides."

The referee for the day was one Edward Bond with his assitants Joe Orton and Derek Rattigan running the lines.

"We are not going to take any actions against seaempty as we can see from some of the replays that Edward, Joe and Derek were not always 100% correct in their decisions, however, they are doing their jobs and need to treated with respect. We are issuuing seaempty with a warning about his future conduct. We encourage managers to give opinions, but without criticising referee's."

[seaempty]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/seaempty/Stockport.jpg
Club Statement
After his reprimand by the JFL, Stockport Manager seaempty has made a statement:
"I'm appalled - but not surprised. They have levied a suspended caution on me - so if I have any criticism I will not be able to voice it. Nobody is beyond criticism - not me, not the JFL - as long as it is constructive.
I will however accept this caution, and not appeal. I can see how some of my comments may have been misconstrued. For me now, the matter is over - water under the bridge, and rubbish under the carpet".

[Thomp]

Power delighted by win

Coventry Forrest manager, Tom Power, was clearly delighted with his player's commitment and resilience with their 1-0 win.

"The players gave it their best, and by doing so, have given us our first win of this very competitive competetion. We kept a clean sheet, which was important, and this will be a huge morale boost for fans and players alike"

[Captain]

Time for a change

Today Glasgow manager has confirmed that Simpsons will be leaving the club.
The CB has been rumored not to be happy that he isn't playing and has been thinking of leaving since the start of the league.
Captain has this to say.

"Following yesterdays match, when Simpsons wasn't picked he asked me if he could be placed on the transfer market.
I told him if he doesn't feel he has a place in the team then he may leave, but he will be missed and i see him as doing great things with his career."
Today Simpsons went on the transfer market for 1 mil to 1.5 mil.

[Mr stabby]

Ah-hem, why no fixtures this week (I was away yesterday so it doesnt matter to me, just wondering)

[streety]

I think people are losing interest. I for one didn't hand in my teamsheet due to my crazy work schedule but there wasn't any posts in this thread for nearly a week...

[jonffm]

Sorry, I forgot, been a pretty frenzzieedd week.

[streety]

I know AP has been busy too doing an essay.
I guess this week will be played next wednesday. Hopefully I can win :/

[Shave]

err... yes... i didn't forget... *runs*

[AngryPaul]

I think people are losing interest. I for one didn't hand in my teamsheet due to my crazy work schedule but there wasn't any posts in this thread for nearly a week...So it would seem. I have been mashed under a pile of essays and christmas shopping. I thought I could juggle all with the JFL, but it seems not. I am sorry for letting everyone down again.

Fixtures postponed until next week.

Are people still interested? Do I need to put more effort in to make it go again?

[Thomp]

If you need other people to help you out, like do a week's fixtures while you're busy, then just PM one of us :)

I haven't lost interest, I like the idea

Assignments are a bitch, huh *Got 6 to do over christmas* :(

Nothing wrong with a winter break. My players need a rest.

I think everyone know's what it's like to have loads of work to do. This is only a forum at the end of the day and your work is much more important.

[AngryPaul]

Shall we all wait til christmas is over and continue play in mid-Jan or carry on for another 2 weeks and then stop until the first Wed in Feb?

If its the second.... TEAMSHEETS!

[Captain]

I dont mind either way.

Ill send my teamsheet anyway just in case.

Sending teamsheet now

[Mr stabby]

If the games are tonight then ill send a teamsheet, but winter break sounds good, my players are knackered from those 3 games...
