Scottish Third Division, March 11th - vs. Elgin They score in the 29th minute when Paul Tyrrell gives the ball up and they score easily. McInuilty ties it for us in the 40th minute with a header off a cross. They score again the 44th minute off a free kick. We had a great chance in the 63rd minute, but Diack's shot hits the bar and they get the rebound and clear. We had a few more chances but failed on all of them. LOSE 2-1 Scottish Third Division, March 18th - vs Queen's Park Queen's Park is 3 points ahead of us in 4th place. Ure gets us on with a goal in the 30th minute! Have I missed him! They manage to get a goal 3 minutes into injury time and make it 1-1 at the half. They score again less than a minute into the 2nd half by flooding the goalie area and they get a goal off a rebound. We have several shots that looked "destined" to be goals. They score again during injury time. I rip into my team after the match. LOSE 3-1 |

I am thinking that ripping into them turned out to be a bad move tactically

Scottish Third Division Standings - Start of April
Well, our chances at promotion are pretty much gone. Ayr United has already clinched bottom od the Second Division and will be joining the Third Division next season. The good news is that The Shire has given me a transfer budget to help buy a few players and improve. Last edited by sabotai : 07-20-2006 at 05:35 PM. |

Matches
Scottish Third Division, April 1st - vs. Montrose We get several chances and miss them. In the 44th minute, Jackson came way out of goal to play a pass, but it was bad and their forward easily hits a goal from far away. We dominated the possession, but didn't score. LOSE 1-0 Scottish Third Division, April 8th - vs Berwick It goes scoreless until the 42nd minute when pete Ross puts one in. I think he was just trying to cross it, but it went in. In the 82nd minute, Diack scores after he gets the rebound off of a blocked free kick. Mark Tyrrell was Man of Match with a 10 rating. WIN 2-0 |

Scottish Third Division, April 15th - vs East Fife The first half is scroeless. Darren Gribbon goes insane and scores 2 goals in 7 minutes to give us a 2-0 lead. Hat trick for Gribbon in the 75th minute! I think Gribbon took something before the match, he scores his 4th goal in the 80th minute. WIN 4-0 |

Yeah, I had a bunch of injuries (most were a virus or flu) in Jan through Feb. I finally got to start playing my full squad again that's when Roddy Hunter's loan period ended. At least I'll be able to buy a few players for next year. On my list is looking for a replacement for Gaughan (gets carded way too oftan) and help on the wings. |

What good is a transfer budget if no one wants to sign with you because of your training facilities that your board does not wish to improve?

Challenge Cup Round One, July 29th vs. East Fife (SCO Third Division) They score within the first minute off of a free kick. In the 24th minute, Sobolewski scored on a long shot that looked more like a long pass that missed but caught the corner of the net and went in. On the 43rd minute, their forward knocked the ball from the goalie, and out raced him to get to the ball and kicked it in. In the 48th minute, we get a penalty kick but it goes off the post. We get a few more chances, but fail. LOSE 2-1 We get $4,100 for the 1st round lose. Promotion Odds Berwick have been given 4-5 odds on promotion this year. Ayr have even odds, Cowdenbeath 5-4, Queen's Park 6-4, Arbroath 7-4 and East Stirling 6-1. We are predicted to have a midtable finish this year. |

Matches
Scottish Third Division, Aug. 5th vs. Arbroath They get a goal in the 10th minute when their forward just outran my defender, dribbled the ball by him and kicked it passed Gillespie. Paul Tyrrell scores off of a free kick in the 34th minute. The referee is very yellow card happy. He's given out 6, 4 to me, by the half. Derek Ure gives us the lead in the 46th minute when he heads a long pass into the goal. Paul Tyrrell scores his second goal off of another free kick in the 55th minute. By now, 9 yellow cards, 6 to me, have been issued. In the 66th minute, they score again. We are able to hold on to the win. WIN 3-2 Scottish League Cup, Aug. 8th vs. Ross County (SCO First Division) This will be ugly. Or not. We actually keep it scoreless for the first half. In the 49th minute, their forward pwns our defense and makes it look easy against Jackson. In the 71st minute, on a throw in, their forward takes, goes right passed my defenders and scores. Into injury time, they add insult t injury and score their 3rd goal. LOSE 3-0 We get $20,000 for our 1st round exit. Scottish Third Division, Aug. 12th vs. East Fife They score in the 18th minute when they pass it to a forward who is just sitting in front of my goalie. My defenders don't play the pass and I guess my goalie was too busy picking his nose to notice. I will be searching for a new goalie soon. Gillespie isn't good enough and Jackson is old. They score again in the 24th minute. Jackson looked like he had iron weights on his shoes as they score off a long free kick. We had a couple of chances in the first half, but didn't take advantage of them. McBride gets us on the scoreboard with a goal in the 68th minute. They have a player sent off in the 70th minute. We couldn't get another good chance and it's over. LOSE 2-1 |

Scottish Third Division, Aug. 19th vs. Elgin In the 15th minute, Masterton scores off a rebound. They score in the 25th minute off a penalty kick. We seemed to dominate the second half, but couldn't get any thing to go in net. DRAW 1-1 I warned Sobolewski for his poor performance. He rated a 5, a 4 for most of the match. Near the end, he messed up a throw in that nearly cost us the game. Scottish Third Division, Aug. 26th vs. Albion Rovers The first half goes scoreless. They score in the 46th minute. Wasted chance after wasted chance. Dymock gets us tied up in the 77th minute. DRAW 1-1 |

Scottish Third Division, Sept 16th vs. Berwick They score quickly in the 6th minute. It looked like the goalie was going to play the ball, but pulled up thinking my defender was going to play it, who did the same thing (stopped). Their player gets to it and kicks it passed Jackson. McBride answers when he kicks in long pass to tie it up in the 16th minute. We get a penalty kick in the 52nd minute and they get red carded for the foul. We score on the penalty kick and take the lead. We get another penalty kick in the 56th minute. We score on it again and take a 3-1 lead. McBride adds insult to injury with a goal during injury time. WIN 4-1 Scottish Third Division, Sept. 20th vs. Queen's Park Both teams had a few chances but failed to take advantage of them. McBride gets us on board with a goal in the 51st minute with an assist from Ure and Callaghan. McBride clinches the win with a go during injury time. WIN 2-0 Scottish Third Division, Sept. 23rd vs. Ayr They score in the 12th minute to start it off. They look like they might be too fast for me, especially since my team is a bit tired. They score again in the 28th minute. Ure gets us on board with a goal in the 63rd minute to pull within one. LOSE 2-1 Scottish Third Division, Sept. 30th vs. East Fife We score quickly in the 6th minute off a shot by McBride with Ure on the assist. We're able to hold them off for the win. WIN 1-0 |

Scottish Third Division, Oct. 14th vs. Montrose We dominate the first half and get several chances, but we just can't find a way to score. Dymock scores in the 66th minute to finally get us on the board. We hold on to the win but we should have destroyed them. WIN 1-0 Scottish Third Division, Oct. 21st vs. Arbroath They score quickly in the 11th minute. We hold them off and keep them out of our zone. We get a lot of chances but fail on all of tham. LOSE 1-0 Scottish Third Division, Oct 28th vs. Elgin We get things started in the 13th minute with a goal by Masterton. Ure is injured and has to come out in the 33rd minute. They tie it at 1 in the first minute of injury time before the half. McBride gets us back in the lead at the 57th minute. They tie it up in the 87th minute when my defense loses their mind and has a horrible pass taken by their forward and my goalie was out of position. DRAW 2-2 |

Hopefully. Last year I felt like I was winning games I should have lost, this year I'm drawing and losing games I should win. Keeping my fingers crossed that we don't go through another midseason slump. BTW, Derek Ure is out for 2 weeks to 2 months.... |

Scottish Third Division, Dec 2nd vs. Queen's Park Gillespie gets beat in the 14th minute to give Queen's Park the lead. They go up 2-0 when Gaughen is caught out of position. They go up 3-0 when Gillespai just let a lob go in. Dymock gets us on during injury time at the end of the game, but it's far too late. LOSE 3-1 Scottish Cup Second Round, Dec 9th vs. Buckie Thistle They score quickly in the 8th minute as my defense just broke down. By the 35th minute, I had two players injured and had to come off. They take a 2-0 lead off a penalty kick in the 39th minute. (At the half, I looked through their team and am wondering what exactly are half of these players doing a on team that isn't in a Divison!? They have a striker I would love to have based on his attributes!) We FINALLY get a score (one our first shot on gaol) in the 85th minute. We had another chance to score a tieing goal, but we fail. Terrible job by my team. 10 shots, only 2 were on goal. LOSE 2-1 We are 0-3 in Cup matches this year Scottish Third Division, Dec. 16th vs. Montrose McBride gets injured in the 43rd minute and has to come out. Another game we should have won easily, but no goals. DRAW 0-0 McBride will be out for 3 weeks to 2 months. Scottish Third Division, Dec 23rd vs. Ayr They score quickly in the 7th minute on a shot that Gillespie should have easily stopped. They again score in thw 38th minute and I am crying for Jackson to get better. Derek Ure gets injured AGAIN at the half time mark. McMullen gets us a goal in the 58th minute. They answer with a goal in the 60th minute. Gillespie will be out of a job ASAP. LOSE 3-1 Injuries, loses....it's happening again. Scottish Third Division, Dec. 26th vs. Arbroath Neither team does anything in the first half. They score in the 57th minute. McMullen is sent off in the 71st minute. They score in the 72nd minute off of a penalty kick. And then they score again in the 75th minute. LOSE 3-0 I wish I could get a new goalie, but anyone worth a damn won't come here because of my training facilities, and I've already asked three times for the board to upgrade them. Scottish Third Division, Dec 30th vs. East Fife My two forwards are tired, but I have to play them since my other two forwards are hurt. Paul Tyrrell gets us a score in the 59th minute. Dymock gets us a second goal when he knocks it in off a second rebound. They tie it in the 81st minute when Gillespie is, surprise-surprise, caught out of position. But we hold on. WIN 2-1 |

Bought two players to help out when my players get injured. I was hurting there for awhile with only 2 healthy forwards. ST Matthew Biddle - 19 years old Technical: Finishing 13, Dribbling 10, Pen. Taking 10 Mental: Teamwork 13, Flair 12, Composure 11 Physical: Nat. Fitness 11, Jumping 11, Pace 10, Strength 10 AM RLC, F C Lee Sichi - 23 years old Technical: ...not good. Mental: Flair 14, Aggression 14, Work Rate 11 Physical: Nat. Fitness 13, Pace 11, Stamina 11, Acceleration 11, rest = 10 Grabbed him because he is "Accomplished" or "Natural" at all Midfielder and Forward positions, so he can be my emergency backup for more than half of my team.

Scottish Third Division Standings - Start of January
Despite our poor showing last month, we still hold on to second place. But only 3 points seperate me from 6th place and Berwick is starting to run away with it. Derek Jackson is back, but he doesn't look all that good. He is aging quite fast, and I still can't find a good GK to come here. Monthly Awards None Board Confidence What can I say? They still love me. Last edited by sabotai : 08-01-2006 at 01:35 AM. |

Scottish Third Division, Jan 6th. vs Elgin Ally Graham starts it off with a penalty kick in the 22nd minute. They tie it up in the 31st minute when they get 3 guys sitting in front of my goalie and my defense doesn't do anything about it. Callaghan gets us back in the lead with a score in the 48th minute. They tie it back up in the 59th minute. In the 74th minute, Sichi gives us the lead, scoring in his debut. But then they tie it up again in the 83rd minute off a corner kick. DRAW 3-3 New Face GK Sandy Young - 20 years old Technical: Ten. To Punch 16, Aerial Ability 11, Handling 10, Communication 10 Mental: Flair 11, Teamwork 11, Positioning 10, Work Rate 10 Physical: Agility 14, Jumping 10, Strength 10, Nat. Fitness 10 Bought on Transfer ($7K) from Inverness CT's Reserve squad. Scottish Third Division, Jan 13th vs Albion Rovers Young's debut, and he lets in a goal in the first minute of play. They score a second goal in the 75th minute. Can't really blame that one on Young since my defense decided to not play the ball and just kind of stand around. LOSE 2-0 Ally Graham announces he will retire at the end of the season. Scottish Third Division, Jan 20th vs. Cowdenbeath We score quickly with a goal by Masterton in the 6th minute. Paul Tyrrell extends our lead with a goal in the 21st minute off of a free kick. Biddle gives us a 3-0 lead in the 46th minute off a long pass from Masterton. They score off of a penalty kick in the 74th minute. Sichi gets us a goal in the 85th minute to put a stamp on this game. WIN 4-1 I think I finally found a squad of forwards that can get the job done. Ure being back, Biddle played well, Sichi is doing good and I should be getting McBride back. Graham and Dymock have had to be my forwards for the last month, and the results speak for themselves. Scottish Third Division, Jan 27th vs. Berwick They score in the 10th minute when Gaughan misplays the ball and their forward gets an easy chance. They score again in the 26th minute. They score again the 51st minute off of a penalty kick. We finally get on board with a goal from Masterton in the 56th minute. In the 87th minute, Masterton gets us within one, but it's too late. If it wasn't for that damn penalty kick. LOSE 3-2 Last edited by sabotai : 08-01-2006 at 12:42 PM. |

Scottish Third Division, Feb 3rd vs. Montrose 7 shots by half time, 0 on target. 11 shots at the end, 1 on target. We absolutely dominated this match with no goals to show for it. DRAW 0-0 Scottish Third Division, Feb 10th vs. Queen's Park They score in the 29th minute off of a free kick after we failed on several easy chances. Ure ties the game off of a penalty kick in the 34th minute. They take the lead in the 68th minute. They score again in the 80th minute. LOSE 3-1 Scottish Third Division, Feb 17th vs. Ayr The first half scoreless. Ure gets us a goal in the 50th minute. Thywissen gives us an insurance goal in the 82nd minute. A badly needed win versus one of the top teams. WIN 2-0 Scottish Third Division, Feb. 24th vs Arbroath They score quickly in the 8th minute and then take a 2-0 lead at the 20th minute mark. Mark Tyrrell puts the stamp on this game in the 86th minute when he passes it to Jackson...and it's REALLY off, into our own net. LOSE 3-0 Last edited by sabotai : 08-01-2006 at 02:28 PM. |

Scottish Third Division, March 3rd vs East Fife They score in the 40th minute. They score again in what is becoming an every game event for me when they score off a penalty kick. Mark Tyrrell gets sent off for getting 2 yellows. They score their 3rd goal in the 72nd minute. They score again in the 74th minute and I'm really starting to wonder if Young is good enough to replace Jackson next year... Callaghan at least gets us a goal in the 80th minute. LOSE 4-1 Scottish Third Division, March 10th vs Elgin They score in the 11th minute when Gaughan gets pwned by their forward. McBride ties it back up for us at the 19th minute. Ure gives us the lead off a penalty kick. They score in the first 30 seconds of the half when they head in a long pass. DRAW 2-2 Scottish Third Division, March 17th vs. Albion Rovers Paul Tyrrell scores the first goal in the 17th minute off of a free kick. They tie it up in the 62nd minute when their forward heads in a long pass. We dominate possession but can't get the win. DRAW 1-1 Scottish Third Division, March 31st vs. Cowdenbeath They score in the 15th minute when they swarm in front of my goalie and my defense can't get the ball out. They score again in the 31st minute on another defensive breakdown. Callaghan, my most dependable player, gets injured in the 57th minute. LOSE 2-0 |

Scottish Third Division Standings - Start of April
We slip down to 5th now, and are pretty much in a race with Elgin, Arbroath and possible Albion Rovers for the last promotion playoff spot. I play Berwick, Queen's Park, Ayr and Montrose. The top 3 teams and the bottom feeder. I think I need to win at least 2 of those matches to have a chance. Montly Awards None EDIT: I've pretty much lost Callaghan for the rest of the season, so this will be very tough for me. Last edited by sabotai : 08-01-2006 at 04:13 PM. |

Scottish Third Division, April 7th vs Berwick We had 3 very clear chances for a goal and failed on all of them. We have several more chances in the second half as we practically shutdown the top Third Division team's offense. But we just can't seem to find a goal. DRAW 0-0 Elgin draws Montrose and Arbroath beats Ayr. We are in 6th place now (tuied for 5th with Elgin) with Arbroath in 4th place by 1 point over us. 3 to go. Scottish Third Division, April 14th vs. Queen's Park Sobolewski is injured in the 25th minute. Both teams have a few chances for a score, including a penalty kick for Queen's Park, but the half is scoreless. They score on a header in the 90th minute () when my defense leaves their forward unchallanged. LOSE 1-0 Albion Rovers win one and draw another to jump into 4th place. East Fife has won their last two and have jumped up as well. I'm now in 8th place. However, only 1 point seperates 4th from 8th, so if we get lucky and string 2 wins together, we still have a shot.

Scottish Third Division, April 21st vs. Ayr They score in the 30th minute. Their forward had been beating my defense and he finally got us. They have a player sent off in the 31st minute for getting his second yellow card. McBride ties it up for us during injury time before the half. McBride gives us the lead in the 50th minute. We take a 3-1 lead when Ure hits a penalty kick in the 54th minute. Paul Tyrrell gets sent off in the 70th minute for getting 2 yellow cards. We hold on for the win. WIN 3-1 Elgin vs Arbroath played to a draw, Albion Rovers drew Queen's Park. East Stirling and East Fife have 46 points, tied for 4th. East Fife will be playing Arbroath. I will be playing Montrose, who are dead last in the Division. Although my recent performance vs Montrose will show that this will not be easy. Scottish Third Division, April 28th vs. Montrose We do with without Paul Tyrrell who is suspended. Damn...Thywissen scores in the 12th minute to give us an early lead. They tie it with a penalty kick in the 34th minute. For whatever reason, I do good against Berwick, I have Ayr's number, but this worst team in the Third Division that is Montrose always gives me problems. I have a player (Gourlay) sent off in the 50th minute. Of course, the last game of the year, I have to win this game, and I get my first red card (not including getting 2 yellows)....They take the lead in the 60th minute. Ure gets it tied again off of a penalty kick. And then they score the winning goal in the 83rd minute. LOSE 3-2 Our captian and best midfielder suspended, a player sent off in the 50th minute....ugh, no promotion this year. |
