  1. Man, the second round of the League Cup just went League 1's way. I beat Birmingham with Carlisle, and Leeds and Oldham also beat Premier League teams. And Colchester and Southend both beat Championship teams as well. My game against Birmingham was a cracker. They were up 1-0 until the 84th minute when Garner scored, who then scored again in the 2nd minute of extra time. Birmingham then scored twice in the 107th and 117th minute before Soley scored off a corner in the 120th. I then won penalties 4-2 (H)

  2. Never heard of Mike McCann. He could do commentary for the A-League, but I wouldn't know. According to Wiki there's a Michael McCann who was an Aussie international hockey player, could be him.

    Womens butterfly 100m finals

    Yoy, Libby Trickett gets her first gold, and Jessica Schipper gets bronze after being 2nd at the turn. So we have two golds and two bronzes now :)
  3. Pretty much got my squad finalised for Carlise for the 08/09 season, as follows:

    GK: Kieran Westwood

    DR: Paul Caddis (loan from Celtic)

    DL: Peter Murphy

    DC: Seyfo Soley

    DC: Mikel San Jose (loan from Liverpool)

    MR: Cleveland Taylor

    ML: Simon Hackney

    MC: Velice Sumulikoski

    MC: Nicky Butt (!)

    FC: Joe Garner

    FC: Danny Graham

    Bench:

    Dean Bouzanis (loan from Liverpool)

    Chris Blackburn

    Grant Smith

    Nabil el Zhar (loan from Liverpool)

    Danny Carlton

    With heaps of good back-up in John Spicer, Paul Thirwell, Paul Arnison, Chris Lumsdon, Rafael (loan from Man Utd), David Raven, Marc Bridge-Wilkinson, Stephen Hindmarch. As I signed Butt and Sumulikoski during the transfer window, I've gone from a diamond to a natural 4-4-2. Hopefully that squad has the ability to get me at least into the play-offs this year.

  4. I swear they give higher scores to Russia just cos they're EXPECTED to get higher scores <_<

    One of ours just did an awesome routine on the mat, with her only fault just stepping outside the box slightly, and she got a 14.65 or something. One of Russia's completely botched the landing on her unparalled bars and got a 15. And just then a Ukrainian chick fell off the beam midway through her routine and still got a 15.175. Cheats <_< (unless the mat generally has lower scores than the others, in which case, I apologise :shifty:)

  5. Womens swimming (individual medley) spoiler

    We won our first gold through Stephanie Rice in the individual medley. Yay, we're beating the Brits >_>

    It seems a little odd that Rice has shaved about 12 seconds off of her time in this event in less than a year. I don't know how seriously to take some of these swimming records anymore when people can destroy existing records by a second or two, when people used to break WR's by tenths or hundreths.

    To be fair, athletes are way more professional nowadays, as in all they do is train for these events. They're constantly coming up with new training methods and can view hours worth of footage on how to improve their technique and stuff. And they're also making the pools themselves easier to swim in, so that's helping as well. A little bit unfair on previous record holders but that's modern day technology.
  6. Thanks for the brilliant descriptions there Zaz. I'm assuming some of them people were maybe.. Sastre or Sanchez (since Sanchez is better on the road), Cincalarra, Schleck/Schleck/Kirchen (saying Luxembourgian hardly narrows it down <_<) and the russian being maybe Denis Menchov?

    Olympics need more MMA

    Why? It's just another excuse for America to win 3 medals in one event.

    Despite the fact that the medals would probably end up going to Russia or Brazil as much as they would America.

    Spanish dude was Sanchez, Aussie was Morgan or something? Dunno.

  7. Cycling road race spoilers

    Woah, that was pretty awesome. There was a lead group of a Spanish dude, a Luxembourgian and someone else, with a chase group of a Russian and an Aussie a fair distance behind, but catching up ever so slowly. About 2km to go they got them in sight with the Russian and Aussie working pretty well together. Then out of nowhere this Swiss dude comes along at a great speed, so the Aussie and Russian attach themselves to him and he brings them up to the other group for the final 300m sprint. The Spaniard ending up winning but unfortunately the Aussie got 6th :(
  8. Ack, BOTH of the channels that have rights to the Olympics are showing the road racing AT THE SAME TIME until 8pm tonight (It's 2pm now) What the FUCK is up with dat?

    FUCK Ch7 and FUCK SBS

    Women's beach volleyball on 7 at the moment.

    Second medal spoiler

    Taiwan won gold in something, don't know what though.
    Thanks, I was watching SBS because there road race was like 4 seconds ahead of 7.

    RUS vs AUS - Volleyball Spoilers

    Aussie won set 1 but the Russians have just won set 2.

    Our volleyballers love to pat each other on the ass :pervert:

    And everytime we win a point they play 'Land Down Under' >_>

  9. Dan got on the FMLive Beta!

    *Dances*

    My brother was on that months ago >_>

    Finished 9th with Carlisle in my first season with them. Bit disappointing but I was in contention for a play-off position right to the end. I was in the top 3 for a good third of the year before a massive collapse to mid-table.
