Ten minutes in and up 2-0...

[OldGiants]

Maulers were mostly trying to use the flanks for their attacks. In the 2nd minute the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending and Somboon Photin put the ball away for 0 - 1. Maulers´s Somboon Photin received a play slashing through the home side´s defense in the 10:th minute, chipping it past the keeper scoring 0 - 2. The home crowd was not pleased with that one.

Should have PICed it, but I don't see the point this season.

[The_herd]

Congrats, I got you on HT live since the wife is supporting the ND people in FOFC.

Ruskies are tied 0-0 in a match between series favorites. AC Bair is pressing, Ruskies have CA on.

The Flying Buffalo are up 4-0 on series fodder so far.

[The_herd]

Dola

RUSKIES TAKE A 1-0 LEAD!!

[OldGiants]

What's your match ID?

[The_herd]

Ruskies - 11038955 Check out the standings in Div V.13 to get an idea of how competitive it is. I really don't expect to win this one though.

Flying Buffalo - 11086902

[The_herd]

I've dodged 2 bullets so far. Don't know how many more I can survive.

[OldGiants]

Yeah, a hell of a 'foot save.''

[OldGiants]

Wow. some gamble on the 3-5-2. I wondered about the "unsure how to play." comment.

I beat him last week, but I used up a MOTS to make sure I got the win at home. I'm trying to throw him off a bit in the rematch. But up until this point my experiences with the 3-5-2 are disappointing at best.

Basically I'm letting the whole season ride on a formation I'm only Passable with.

[McSweeny]

ARG! my damn central defender gets book TWICE in the first minute! He will be running laps until his legs fall off!

good thing he didn't pull that crap in a big match. I'm up 3-0 at the half with 75% possesion. Should translate into a second straight PIC win. My magnificent keeper should be able to maintain a shutout even without my dumbass center back

[The_herd]

And he ties it up on a freakin' penalty....

[The_herd]

I'm gonna pull my hair out.

[tucker rocky]

I'm up 3-0 in a rematch from last week. The team I'm playing just received a new owner a few days ago. I had already planned to PIC this match anyway.

I'm also giving a few reserves some playing time, preparing for upcoming matches by resting some key players this match.

[The_herd]

Meanwhile, the Flying Buffalo's best IM has 4 goals.

[The_herd]

OldGiants, you actually have a good chance at promoting this season, regardless of where you stand now. Noone else in your series appears to know much about the game, or is just inactive.

[tucker rocky]

Just lost a back-up forward, hopefully not to serious. :(

[The_herd]

I need some Tums for the last 10 min.

Yeah, four teams have never logged in, including mooka at #1. Two teams built tiny stadium additions, then went for more.

I think I can win all 9 of my games and get to 30 points, but that mooka team could easily cruise to more than 30, even with no owner.

Still, I don't know that promotion is such a good idea.

[OldGiants]

Hattrick for Somboon Photin, the "Hindu Howitzer" !!

He's now the leading scorer in VI.83 with 6 goals.

[tucker rocky]

My match is looking like a ho-hummer. I let them score a goal, due to some sluggishness from my wingback, although he has solid stamina with inadequate form. 3-1 is the score.

[OldGiants]

One minute to go, hang in there, Herd.

[finkenst]

you guys hsould join us on irc.undernet.org on #fofc.

[The_herd]

Well after todays 1-1 tie, I get the opportunity to play the new series #1 at home next week.

[Vince]

I checked at 42 minutes in the first half, and it was 2-0 me. I checked just now, and I won 9-0, and Chad Cahill's 6 goals :eek: now has him tied for the series lead :)

[daedalus]

As Tim said, y'all need to start joining up with us on the IRC chat during the game. It's awesome.

[FrogMan]

and don't forget, there's at least one crazy fella in there at 5 pm eastern ;) GO DRAGONS!!! :)

FM

[Vince]

I miss IRC chat...I need to be at home during games more often.

[daedalus]

Hey, whenever I'm home, I pop in for the Canadian games!!! :)

[OldGiants]

I saw tim's post and tried to login, but the site timed out on me. I'll try again another time, now that I know.

[OldGiants]

Hmm. I guess I'm clueless about IRC. I entered"

irc.undernet.org

and went no where.

Is this a website or a program like ICQ?

[BreizhManu]

a program, you must use Mirc

[OldGiants]

OK. Got it, d/l'd it, and will install.

Boy, $20 bucks for Mirc, $24.99 for Hattrick Supporter (when I splurge).

Who says Hattrick is a free game? :)

[FrogMan]

IceChat, that I use, is free...

www.icechat.net

FM

[finkenst]

like FM said, i just got icechat. it's an acceptable client. for the first couple of months i was using bitchx on my linux machine...

you ca nsearch for "IRC" at www dot tucows dot com or www dot download dot com for example.

[OldGiants]

I got Mirc working and I'll be downloading icechat in a moment.

When do FOFCers hang out at #FOFC?

[finkenst]

For US games:
Sundays/Wednesdays starting just a bit before 7 EST.
For Canadian games:
Sundays/Wednesdays starting around 5pm EST.

fwiw, i can't remember if irc is case sensitive but i usually just do a "/join #fofc" when i login to irc.

[finkenst]

dola,

if you want to try it out, i'll login for the next 10 minutes or so.

--tim

[FrogMan]

OG, tim and I are in #fofc right now if you wanna test out your irc client...

FM

[FrogMan]

gah, tim and I had the exact same idea :)

FM

[OldGiants]

I'm there now. Where are you two?

[OldGiants]

Ahh, huge time difference.

[finkenst]

yeah.. 14 hours is a bit more than 15-20 minutes. :)

we are gathering slowly there now.

tim

[OldGiants]

I"m in #fofc right now.

[FrogMan]

you are?

14 people and I don't see you... you sure you're on undernet?

Sometimes there are what they call net splits that can cause you to be in #fofc, but not with everybody else. I can't explain this too well though...

I don't see anyone else. I logged onto MIRC, and entered #fofc

What is Undernet?

[BreizhManu]

Undernet is a server, in your connection's options you must choose undernet.

go there : http://www.undernet.org/webchat.php

and choose #fofc as the channel to join, you'll be able to join us

[OldGiants]

OK, I understand that now. I selected the Fairfax, VA Undernet, then picked #fofc, and there y'all were. Excellent

[FrogMan]

undernet is the server we are on. I'm not too familiar with mIRC, but when you connect, you have to select a undernet server...
