Live, anywhere in North America, it's week 5 in Hattrick!!!

[FrogMan]

Hello everybody, it's past 5pm eastern and this means Canadian teams have taken the field, some short 2 hours of their US counterparts...

The Pintendre Pittbulls, playing yet another bot team, will try to bring the record to 5-0 and get closer to promoting back to division IV...

Not much action has happened so far, but the Pittbulls had the first scoring chance, after only 8 minutes...

Pintendre had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially in the 8:th minute when Radu Jurcã came up alone against John O'Higgins who managed a block.


More as it happens...

the Pittbulls can't seem to be able to put one past the other team's keeper...

[Coffee Warlord]

Undernet #fofc Note the c at the end.

I only show up for gamedays, dunno about anyone else.

[Doug5984]

Ok- what is undernet, and what program do I need to use to go to the chat?

[TargetPractice6]

You can download mIRC from http://www.mirc.com
or just use this applet: http://www.int-htradio.com/chat

[Nyarlahotep]

That doesn't go to #fofc though.

*spelling*

[illinifan999]

I have mIRC, but can't figure out how to get the fofc. Help?

[Ally]

Update.......
playing our new passable keeper youth pull from last week after having sold off our solid Swedish keeper in favour of the young Canadian, Les Joujoux managed to come back and earn a 3-3 tie after being down 0-3 at 29 mins. Goaltender Peter Mcneal earned 2-1/2 * in his league debut.

[Nyarlahotep]

Connect through one of the undernet servers and then join #fofc.

Nice comeback.

[illinifan999]

That's the problem, I don' know what an undernet server is, and I can't figure out how to connect to one.

[Nyarlahotep]

When you start mIRC you are given the options of selecting which server and what screen name, etc. That is where you choose one of the undernet servers.

[RonnieDobbs]

Open mIRC
go to File-> options
select under the list of servers "Random US Undernet Server"
connect
once connected, Commands-> Join Channel
type #fofc

[DukeRulesMAB]

We take on the #1 team in our series. Lots of injuries, too. No chance, but I'm excited anyway.

[illinifan999]

I figured it out.

[illinifan999]

Thanks for the help!

[illinifan999]

Is anyone else on?

[Nyarlahotep]

10+ people atm.

Sweet. That makes it easy.

[AccardoOutfit29]

McGees took the lead in the 11th minute after a magnificent free kick. Allan Cordero adjusted the score to 1 - 0.

Good way to start out the game

[Ally]

I'd love to join in, but I'm on another server in my EHM live sim tonight. Maybe next week.

[AccardoOutfit29]

Dale Wood squirmed himself through the central defense line in the 13th minute, asserting the lead to 2 - 0. By now McGees were drawing the troops back in order to defend their lead.

Woot again!

[Rich1033]

I cant get onto the chat tonight. However for anyone who wants to watch a good game I should have one for you. Im the number 3 team in my league going up against the 2nd team. Here is the beginning of the match...

Wildcats - Toledo Drunkards

Date: 5/5/2003 at 01:00
MatchID: 5542106
Arena: Wildcats Arena


The match is in progress, 17 minutes of the first half have been played.
Weather conditions were fairly good for football, and Wildcats Arena saw a crowd turnout of 10950. Wildcats had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. They fielded: Currier - Rikardsson, Thrasher, Uribe - Cardin, Kuhn, Palareti, Myers, Patterson - Lawton, Boone.

Drunkards had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Oleary - Matson, Clarke, Henriksson - Moghaddam, Dyrhult, Bojin, Suchy, Schell - Heiramo, Larsson.

Wildcatss Ossie Uribe gave, after 4 minutes, the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. Wildcatss Erik Kuhn got himself booked after a foul. Visitors Sami Heiramo was alert on a play coming in from the left, making the score a tie at 1 - 1 in the 16:th minute

I will probably be leaving by the half but hopefully my team can pull this one out.

[Vince]

Well, the team I play this week got replaced yesterday by a new owner, and in a random ass turn of events, it's someone who I don't know, but lives here in Isla Vista with me, about a block away from here (confirmed by HT E-mail). I referred him to the boards here for some help, as I want my series to be good competition. We're in a California Derby right now, and his defense is surprisingly strong, as I haven't scored yet.

Team ID 70384 for those of you on Criollo Viewer who are looking for another game.

[Ally]

Wow, that's pretty kewl Vince! It's amazing how the net can work that way. :)

[GoldenEagle]

GEFC tied 0-0.

[Rich1033]

Damn my best player went down with an injury. :(

He is playing wingback and was replaced with my sub defender. The sub is a passable defender but a poor winger. Will that end up hurting me? I would much rather they replaced him with my sub winger.

[edit- The game is tied 2-2 at half and I had possession for 49% of the half. My team ID is 8295 and the match ID is listed above if anyone wants to check it out.]

[DukeRulesMAB]

Bah, gave up a goal in the 44th. And I screwed up and started the wrong keeper. Not a huge dropoff, but an irritating mistake. Add to that our sterling 26% possession, and you've got a loooong game.

[Havok]

Misfitz up 1-0 at halftime

[DukeRulesMAB]

YEAH! Tie game!

Visitors Kenneth Clifford was alert on a play coming in from the left, making the score a tie at 1 - 1 in the 48:th minute.

[BishopMVP]

Up 2-0 w/52% possession at halftime on the remains of the team a cheater assembled (kicked out 2 weeks ago) who is ahead of me on goal differential. In more good news, 3 dead teams were replaced meaning there might be some actual competition in my series soon.

[mckerney]

Art Frazier scores goal number 7 of the season and brings the goal differential to an even 8 - 8.

[NevStar]

The world is eerily silent, as starting wingback and part-time pizza deliveryman, "Crazy" Earl Freedom was helped off the pitch with a leg injury.

In other news, Søren Andersen scored in the 49th to give MMFC a 1-0 lead... and we had 65% possession at halftime.

[RonnieDobbs]

GO FRANKFORT U!!!!! :)

[vtbub]

Up 4-0 in 2nd half in our home debut.

[RonnieDobbs]

The Wyckyd Sceptre are feeling confident, up 2-0 and up a man against a better team, but one with little scoring punch.

[NAIWF]

Up 4-0 over the worst team in the league. Finally gonna get a league win though, so no complaints ;)

[DukeRulesMAB]

Bad game for DK's boys so far, but they just got 1 back....down a goal now.

[mckerney]

NOOOO!!! I suffer another injury to one of my defensemen, They score a goal, and my star player gets his third yellow card of the year.

Square Pegs now only up 3 - 1...

[Doug5984]

Ishudhi Kumar almost managed to score another goal for Louisiana, but his header was tipped to a corner by the visitors goalie. A bit later, a magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Louisiana´s Ovidiu Preoteasa putting the lead up to 4 - 0.

Up 4-0, the team that is tied for first place with me is down 3-0...looks like I could be in sole ownership of 1st place in a few more minutes

[sony]

I'm up 3-1 over the Complex Spikes (2nd place). They are my only competition. Looks like a victory for me.

[mckerney]

Woohoo!!!

A speedy charge from the left side of the field put Square lead up with 4 - 1. Art Frazier finished that one off competently, firing from an acute angle. By then Art Frazier was a three time scorer - a hat trick!

[DukeRulesMAB]

In the 80:th minute Phillip Gagnon almost put the home team one ahead on a cross pass coming in from the right, but the shot went wide.

Whew....8 more minutes, guys.

ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

[DukeRulesMAB]

The 82nd minute saw the home team take a 2 - 1 lead after a leak in the visitors right side defense. Scorer for dbob was Fredrick Cooke.

Dammit, so close. Really, even this was more than we could hope for.

[Easy Mac]

Winning 9-0 in the 82nd, playing it PIC!

Arena: G-Vegas FC Arena


The match is in progress, 38 minutes of the second half have been played.

Mundial had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Hardin - Barclay, Nichols, Gabriel - Dorman, Scales, Ferguson, Pinson, Mccall - Shaw, Williams.

Francois Faure gave his G-Vegas the lead with 1 - 0, as he successfully challenged both the guests central defenders, then placed the ball unreachably at the goaltenders right post. In the 17:th minute of the match the visitors central line of defence had to look on as Ludovico Bonilla Mangas dashed through, knocking home 2 - 0 for G-Vegas. One of many good passes from Fernando Maestro at the wing was recieved and skillfully taken care of by Francois Faure, scoring for G-Vegas to 3 - 0. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Ludovico Bonilla Mangas squirmed himself through the central defense line in the 27:th minute, asserting the lead to 4 - 0. The structure of the game started to change as G-Vegas decided to pull back and meet their opponents in the defensive zone. John James increased G-Vegass lead to 5 - 0 by putting a header away on a hooked ball from the right. Delmer Pinson of Mundial received a yellow card in the 34:th minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Mundial´s Nate Dorman left the field after 38 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was Porter Burney. The teams went for a half-time break at 5 - 0. G-Vegas held the ball, with a clear 71 percent possession rate.

In the 52nd minute of the match the visitors central line of defence had to look on as Leoncio Freijedo dashed through, knocking home 6 - 0 for G-Vegas. G-Vegas put themselves up 7 - 0 when Leoncio Freijedo broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him. After 65 minutes Leoncio Freijedo put G-Vegas ahead 8 - 0 as he rose to head in a hooked ball, the result of an effort from the right side. By then Leoncio Freijedo was a three time scorer - a hat trick! The home sides Ludovico Bonilla Mangas twisted a free kick home in the 67:th minute, putting G-Vegas ahead 9 - 0. By then Ludovico Bonilla Mangas was a three time scorer - a hat trick! A couple of quick and successful challenges, followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area after 74 minutes might have resulted in another goal for G-Vegas. However, Marc Hardin made a spectacular save.

[DukeRulesMAB]

Heh, I was right.

In the 83rd minute of the match the visitors central line of defence had to look on as Stigbjörn Eckstad dashed through, knocking home 3 - 1 for dbob.

[sony]

Masked -- You're Complex Spikes?



BAD NEWS... my best player went down...

After 85 minutes luangphones Xian Phu-Vinh had to be carried off on a stretcher in agony.

[Masked]

Yes I'm the Spikes!

Well my guys targeted him, after Rivas went down in the first half

:)

[Easy Mac]

well, a 9-0 win

My gosh... All of those are good except for midfield. Mine were much worse than that. Good game. I gotta admit, Iwas sweating this game.

[Masked]

The wretched in midfield really suprises me. I put up a poor in PIC last week. Losing my starting MF in the first half, and the winger in a friendly earlier really killed me.

Congrats...I'll see you in a few weeks in my stadium.

[sony]

XPV is out for 4 weeks. I need a replacement quick.

[Masked]

Rivas is also out 4 weeks...

I don't think you need to get anyone to beat the other teams in our division. Although we did get 4 new ones today.

[mckerney]

My best player is out next week with a red card, and I have 2 starters who are going to be out with injury when I have a very important game to try and take the 4th position.

[GoldenEagle]

0-0 draw
