A Scottish Invasion with the FMS Crew

mark wilson27 · March 11, 2018

Using FM18 and only running the Scottish Leagues. Which I have edited out all the teams and all the real life competitions.

So the leagues have changed with the FMS crew taking over up north. The Scottish league has now been disbanded along with the cup competitions. The new set up is as follows:-

FMS Premier League;
The league consists of 16 sides which play each other twice. The league will be sorted by points, goal difference, goals scored, games won and results between teams. At the moment the top team qualifies for the European Champions Cup Champions First Qualifying Phase. Second and third place qualify for the EURO Cup first qualifying Rd

FMS FA Cup:
The tournament runs with all rounds bar the final being played over two legs. The winning team will qualify for the EURO Cup

FMS League Cup:
The tournament runs with all rounds bar the final being played over two legs.

FMS Super Cup:
Like most Super Cups this will be played with the winners of the FMS Premier League facing the winner of the FA Cup

Teams:
Each side has a 100,000 seated stadium with the season tickets and match day tickets set at a high price (Due to several sides going bust after a few years due to poor finance's). Each side will receive the same prize money no matter where they finish so to keep it at a level financial playing field.

CFuller - I was going to say it could be worse but I don't think it can sorry

salkster - I'm just glad I didn't get him. I think I did around four or five tests of the database (Leaving the game on holiday mode overnight) and I ended up getting him everytime

August 14th:
Wilsons Wanderers have finally named a manager as 47yr old Italian Roberto Di Matteo has taken over. He started his managerial career at MK Dons and has managed other clubs including West Brom, Chelsea and Aston Villa. However his only trophy came as caretaker manager of Chelsea as he lifted the European Champions Cup.

August 19th:
FMS League Cup 1st Rd 2nd Leg:
Balthazars Battlers faced an uphill battle to get anything out of the tie with Diego's Imposters after losing 3-0 in the 1st leg. It seemed that the home teams players had pretty much gave up as Diego's Imposters controlled the game with ease. The only surprising thing was that it took till the 33rd minute for the first goal to be scored as S.Long rounded the keeper to give Diego's Imposters a four goal aggregate lead. The second half was all the away side and on the 65th minute S.Long killed the tie off to send Diego's Imposters through to the ¼ finals. The game against Chester Pheonix and Copper's Horses was just alittle one sided with Copper's Horses dominating from the start. The first goal was scored in the 6th minute as D.Escudero headed in from close range. Five minutes later it was two nil with Ricky Alvarez doing the honours. Just before the interval it was three nil with Carlos Eduardo firing in at the near post. The second half was much the same however Copper's Horses could only add the one extra goal as P.Mamaev headed in to send them through 5-0 on aggregate.
Gav's Gunners took an early lead via the boot of L.Kone in their second leg tie against Daves Dinamos, however it was Daves Dinamos that controlled the game as on the 19th minute S.Boenisch fired in from the edge of the area. Twelve minutes later they took the lead as B.Gama beat the offside trap. The second half was pretty tight but on the 76th minute R.Gestede killed the tie off with a brave header to send Daves Dinamos through 4-2 on aggregate. Fullers Dragons might as-well not bothered turning up as they were completely outclassed by Franjo's Fanatics. The fun started on the 5th minute as S.Rondon rounded the keeper to slot into the empty net. Ten minutes later it was two nil with the same playing doing the honours from close range. On the 38th minute S.Rondon completed his hat-trick with a fine strike which gave the keeper little chance of saving. The second half was all Franjo's Fanatics but they only managed to add the single goal with R.Okotie's low shot beat the keeper with ease.
Another side that might as-well not bothered turning up was Panpardus's Pirates as they were walloped 4-0 by Tenthree's Terriers. The first goal came on the 4th minute as A.Surman slotted in from close range. Five minutes later D.Pabon headed in the second. It was too easy for Tenthree's Terriers and on the 43rd minute D.Pabon made it three nil. The second half was alittle quieter and on the 74th minute Souza fired in to give Tenthree's Terriers a four nil victory on the night and an 8-1 aggregate win. Salksters Scousers took an early lead against Hoskins Hurricanes with F.Djordjevic firing in from ten yards to level the aggregate score. After the goal the tie became a real midfield battle with neither side giving an inch. The second half was much the same with a lot of the action being centred in the middle third of the pitch. Deep into injury time though the winner was scored as R.Barcley beat the offside trap and fired under the onrushing keeper to send Salksters Scousers through to the next round.
Segundo's Snakes made light work of Wilsons Wanderers once again with a three nil win. The first goal was scored on the 15th minute as Emre Akbaba rant through the defence with ease and fired under the keeper. Just after the half hour it was two nil with A.Gunnarsson doing the honours from close range. The final goal came late in the game as D.Taylor slotted in from the edge of the area on the 84th minute to send Segundo's Snakes through 7-1 on aggregate. WLKRAS's Warriors and Bens Arsenal served up an entertaining game for the fans as they shared five goals. The first of which was scored in the 2nd minute as R.Ghoochannejhad fired in for WLKRAS's Warriors. Eight minutes later it was two nil with the same playing doing the honours from 20 yards. On the 38th minute Bens Arsenal pulled a goal back with D.Booth firing in from outside the area. The second half was ten minutes old when R.Ghoochannejhad headed in WLKRAS's Warriors third goal and completed his hat-trick. The final goal of the game was scored on the 87th minute with T.Stewart firing in the penalty spot.

September 9th:
FMS Premier League: Opening Day
Balthazars Battlers started the season with a win as they beat Diego's Imposters 2-1. The first goal was scored by Diego Imposters as P.Skjelbred ran into the area and fired past the keeper. The second half was all Balthazars Battlers and on the 51st M.Harnik slotted in from close range. The same player scored the winner late in the game to give the home side the three points.
Bens Arsenal also started with a win as his side took a 9th minute lead against Hoskins Hurricanes. Six minutes later it was two nil with K.Forsyth doing the honours. However after the early goals the game died a death but BenArsenal wont mind with the three points in the bag.
Chester Pheonix faced off against Gav's Gunners and it was the away side that took the lead as M.de Leeuw curled one in from outside the area on the 17th minute. Ten minutes later though Gav's Gunners were reduced to ten men after Y.Benalouane was sent off for a second yellow card. This didn't stop his side though adding goal number two via the boot of V.Wormgoor. The second half saw Chester Pheonix piling on the pressure and on the 65th minute Y.Kubo pulled a goal back with a fine strike from outside the area. With eight minute remaining in the game S.Sane levelled the scores for Chester Pheonix. However despite all the forward pressure the home side couldn't get the three points.
Daves Dinamos started the season with a loss as Copper's Horses beat them 2-0. The first goal was scored on the 4th minute as S.Kalou jinked through the defence with ease and fired under the keeper. Dave's Dinamos however put a lot of pressure on but couldn't unlock the Copper's Horses defence. The second half was much the same with pressure from both sides and on the 81st Ricky Alvarez headed the killer goal for Copper's Horses.
Franjo's Fanatics took a 4th minute lead against Salksters Scousers as S.McTominay barged into the area to fire under the onrushing keeper. The early goal seemed to kick Salksters Scousers up the arse and they started to control the game and on the 34th minute D.Alibec slotted in from close range. The second half was all Salksters Scousers and on the 69th minute Maicon gave them the winning goal with a fine strike from just outside the area.
Panpardus's Pirates started the season with a convincing 2-0 win over Wilsons Wanderers. Despite all the pressure it took till the 43rd minute for them to take the lead as O.Assaidi headed in from a corner. The second half had barely started when M.Diouf fired in after some sloppy defending by the Wilsons Wanderers defence. In truth Panpardus's Pirates should have scored a lot more.
Segundo's Snakes and Tenthree's Terriers shared the points with an entertaining 1-1 draw. It was Tenthree's Terriers who grabbed the lead as on the 23rd minute A.Surman tapped in from ten yards after the keeper fluffed a corner. It took till the 79th minute for the equaliser to come as M.Badelj showed the Tenthree's Terriers defence some skill to beat them and the keeper with a fine shot.
WLKRAS's Warriors took a 23rd minute lead over Fullers Dragons with a well struck effort from E.Pieters. Ten minutes later it was two nil with S.Davis doing the honours from the edge of the area. It was all WLKRAS's Warriors and on the 82nd minute Y.Movsisyan headed in to give WLKRAS's Warriors all three points to go with their three goals.

FMS Premier League:
Copper's Horses carried on the winning start as they beat Segundo's Snakes 2-0 thanks to a 59th minute goal from Gokhan Gonul. The second goal of the game was scored on the 72nd minute with Carlos Eduardo firing in from close range after some bad goalkeeping. Copper's Horses were helped in their cause after Segundo's Snakes Renatinho was sent off on the 35th minute.
Another side that carried on from their opening day win was Bens Arsenal who beat Diego's Imposters 2-0. The first goal was scored early in the game as A.Bouhaddouz fired in from close range within a minute. Diego's Imposters never came close to threatening the away side and on the 73rd minute A.Bouhaddouz slotted in.
Fullers Dragons and Balthazars Battlers produced a dire game for the fans with little attacking football. The only goal in the game came in the 61st minute as M.Harnik rounded the keeper to give Balthazars Battlers all three points with a 1-0 win.
Franjo's Fanatics started the game well against Gav's Gunners as S.McTominay headed in a corner on the 2nd minute. However on the 20th minute Romulo fired in the equaliser for Gav's Gunners. Five minutes before the break Gav's Gunners took the lead as B.Natcho rounded the keeper and fired into the empty net. The second half was all Franjo's Fanatics and on the 57th minute S.Rondon headed in. Despite all Franjo's Fanatics pressure they couldn't add to their tally.
Hoskins Hurricanes began the better against Chester Pheonix as they took the lead in the 15th minute with A.Rooney firing in from close range. Just after the half hour though Alan levelled the scores with a long range effort which gave the keeper little chance of saving. The second half was all Hoskins Hurricanes and on the 86th minute L.Palmer slotted in from close range.
Salksters Scousers and Panpardus's Pirates shared the points in an entertaining game which started with a goal from D.Alibec on the 23rd minute which gave the home side the lead. The rest of the half was an end to end half with chance after chance. The second half was much the same with both sides giving it their all and on the 71st minute L.Allan gave Panpardus's Pirates the share of the points with a thunderbolt from 25 yards.
Tenthree's Terriers mauled WLKRAS's Warriors with a great performance. The first goal of the game saw C.Dempsey hitting a curling effort from outside the area past the keeper to give him no chance of saving. Despite the constant and almost complete domination of possession Tenthree's Terriers failed to add to their tally in the first half. The second half was barely two minutes old when Souza made it two nil after a great team move split the defence apart. The final goal of the game saw D.Svento make it three nil on the 79th minute with a brave header. In truth this should have been a double figured scoreline.
Wilsons Wanderers started the better as I.Afellay fired in on the 5th minute after beating the Daves Dinamos defence to a loose ball. However after the goal it was all Daves Dinamos as they put constant pressure on the home side. The second half was all Daves Dinamos and on the 65th minute they finally equalised through R.Matarrita. Luckily for Wilsons Wanderers their keeper was on top notch form otherwise all three points would have been going to Daves Dinamos

Results:
Copper's Horses 2-0 Segundo's Snakes
Diego's Imposters 0-2 Bens Arsenal
Fullers Dragons 0-1 Balthazars Battlers
Gav's Gunners 2-2 Franjo's Fanatics

The second half was alittle closer as Salksters Scousers started to actually play and on the 72nd minute they equalised as M.Thorsby fired in under the keeper.

With five minutes remaining in the half Franjo's Fanatics pulled a goal back as J.Larsson beat the offside trap to fire in low under the keeper.

However with eight minutes remaining in the game K,Zohore headed in to give Franjo's Fanatics a share of the points.
Fullers Dragons and Chester Pheonix battled it out for a share of the points as-well but this time it was far from an entertaining game with the majority of the play being in the middle third of the pitch. The end of the match saw a chorus of boo's as both sides shared a dire 0-0 draw.
Gav's Gunners began the better against Daves Dinamos and on the 6th minute O.Niasse gave them the lead with a rasping effort which gave the keeper little chance of saving. Soon after they were awarded a penalty but O.Niasse failed to get his second of the game. With ten minutes remaining in the half though Daves Dinamos pulled level with a brave header from V.Anichebe. The second half was all Daves Dinamos with some great play and on the 78th minute they got the winning goal they deserved with a powerful strike from R.McLaughlin.
Hoskins Hurricanes controlled the majority of the first half against Panpardus's Pirates and on the 18th minute they took the lead as A.Rooney barged into the area and fired with pace past the keeper. On the stroke of half time it was two nil with C.Cadden rising above the defence and heading past the keeper.

Salksters Scousers made light work of Segundo's Snakes and on the 11th minute D.Alibec ran into the area with ease and fired under the keeper. It took till the 42nd minute for the next goal to be scored with a powerful effort from D.Alibec which saw the keeper failing to save. The second half was much the same with Salksters Scousers dominating however they only managed to grab the one goal as C.Jorquera fired in from close range to give them a 3-0 win.

The first goal was scored on the 11th minute as I.Smolnikov ran into the area with ease and fired past the onrushing keeper. Balthazars Battlers weren't looking like they wanted to be in the game and on the 44th minute they were another goal down as D.Pabon headed in from close range after some dire defending. The second half was much the same and on the 67th minute the third and final goal was scored as S.Ghoddos curled in from the edge of the area. Balthazars Battlers never looked like they had turned up.
Wilsons Wanderers were outplayed by Copper's Horses as the away side had all the possession. The only surprise was that Copper's Horses failed to score in the first half. However four minutes into the second half Copper's Horses opened the scoring with a powerful effort from just outside the area.

FMS Premier League:
Bens Arsenal took a 2nd minute lead as G.Pressley ran past the Balthazars Battlers defence and wasted no time in firing past the keeper. Bens Arsenal carried on piling forward but failed too add to their tally. With a minute remaining in the half Balthazars Battlers were reduced to ten men after B.Sarr was sent off for a second yellow card. The second half was a different cattle of fish as ten man Balthazars Battlers controlled the play with ease. On the 65th minute they got the equaliser they deserved with a thunderous strike from Anicet. Despite the constant pressure Balthazars Battlers couldn't get the win they deserved.
Chester Pheonix and WLKRAS's Warriors served up a dire first forty five minutes with neither side making any sort of forward effort. The second half though was a different story as the second half was pure attacking. On the 63rd minute the first goal was scored as C.Shiels rose above the defence and headed a cross past the WLKRAS's Warriors keeper. Fifteen minutes later though WLKRAS's Warriors equalised as F.di Santo ran onto a through-ball and rounded the keeper to have the points shared between the sides.
Not a great game between Copper's Horses and Salksters Scousers with neither side making any sort of forward effort. The majority of the play in the first half was centred in the middle of the pitch. The second half was much the same with some dire football however on the 83rd minute F.Djordjevic curled in a free-kick for Salksters Scousers to give them all three points
Daves Dinamos started the better against Hoskins Hurricanes and on the 18th minute they took the lead as B.Gama rose above the defence and header in a corner much to the delight of the home fans. Soon after though Hoskins Hurricanes came close with a penalty but the Daves Dinamos keeper saved well. The first half was all Daves Dinamos but for all their pressure they couldn't add another goal. The second half was a lot closer and on the hour Hoskins Hurricanes levelled the game with a long range effort from A.Rooney. After the goal the game was a bit of a ding dong affair with both sides attacking but neither side could breakthrough to get the three points.
Franjo's Fanatics dominated the game against Fullers Dragons and on the 16th minute A.Milosevic broke through the defence and fired under the keeper. It wasn't long till they grabbed another goal with D.Boyata curling in from outside the area much to the delight of the home fans. The rest of the half was all Franjo's Fanatics but they failed to add to the tally. The second half was much the same with Franjo's Fanatics controlling all the play. Despite the pressure their was only the one extra goal as J.McLean beat the defence to a loose ball and fired under the keeper to give them a 3-0 win.
Panpardus's Pirates took an early lead against Diego's Imposters with L.Schone tapping in from close range after a goal keeping error by the keeper. On the 14th minute though Panpardus's Pirates were reduced to ten men after A.Mejia was sent off for a second yellow card. Diego's Imposters began to pressure the ten men and on the 38th minute S.Long equalised with a low shot to beat the keeper. The second half was all Diego's Imposters and on the 74th minute they got the three points they deserved with a thunderous strike from G.Castro which beat the keeper at his near post.
Segundo's Snakes began the better against Gav's Gunners and on the 15th minute S.Lammers gave them the lead with a low shot from outside the area which gave the keeper no chance of saving. Ten minutes later it was two nil with a curling effort from S.Lammers which saw the keeper only just managing to get a finger on it but it wasn't enough to save it. Just before the break though Gav's Gunners pulled a goal back with their first effort as B.Natcho headed in from close range. The second half was all Segundo's Snakes and on the 77th minute the killer goal was scored as E.Hyndman beat the offside trap and slotted in under the onrushing keeper.
The battle of the mods saw Wilsons Wanderers facing Tenthree's Terriers and it was Tenthree's Terriers who scored first as on the 29th minute Souza hit a wonderful effort into the top corner. Tenthree's Terriers carried on the pressure but they failed to add to the tally in the first half. The second half was different though as Wilsons Wanderers piled on the pressure and on the 69th minute F.Peluso equalised for the home side. After the equaliser the game pretty much died a death with little in the way of attacking pressure and the mods had to both share the points

Results:
Bens Arsenal 1-1 Balthazars Battlers
Chester Pheonix 1-1 WLKRAS's Warriors
Copper's Horses 0-1 Salksters Scousers
Daves Dinamos 1-1 Hoskins Hurricanes

FMS Premier League:
Balthazars Battlers and Chester Pheonix didn't really entertain the fans in the first half with not a single effort on goal throughout. The second half wasn't much better with not a lot of action however on the 82nd minute Balthazars Battlers took all three points with Anicet barging into the area and wasted no time in firing under the keeper.
Diego's Imposters and Daves Dinamos played out a feisty affair with several yellow cards. The first half saw only one goal being scored as B.Gama headed in for Daves Dinamos. The second half was just as feisty and on the 61st minute Daves Dinamos were reduced to ten men after S.Boenisch was sent off for a two footed lunge. However ten minutes later Daves Dinamos grabbed a second goal with Ivan Cavaleiro slotted in from close range to give them all three points.
Fullers Dragons got off to a great start as on the 9th minute R.Babel curled one in from outside the area. Their joy was short lived though as on the 15th minute M.Diouf pulled one back for Panpardus's Pirates. After the goal Panpardus's Pirates began to dominated the game and on the 44th minute they grabbed the lead with a fine strike from M.Diouf. The second half was all Panpardus's Pirates but for all their pressure they couldn't add another goal but they had done enough to give them all three points.
Gav's Gunners opened the scoring in the 7th minute against Copper's Horses with a fine strike from F.Bartels. Unfortunately for the fans that was about all the action for the first half with the majority of the play being in the centre third of the pitch. The second half though was a different story with plenty of attacking football and on the 51st minute V.Obinna equalised for Copper's Horses. Both sides kept on with the forward pressure and on the 79th minute the winner was scored with O.Niasse heading in from close range.
Hoskins Hurricanes and Segundo's Snakes played out a dire first forty five minutes with little in the way of what you could call football. The second half wasn't much better however on the 74th minute D.McGeouch fired Hoskins Hurricanes into the lead. With three minutes remaining in the game though Segundo's Snakes equalised with M.Bedelj slotting in from ten yards to earn a share of the points.
Within forty second of the kick off Salksters Scousers had taken the lead against Wilsons Wanderers with C.Jorquera hitting home from six yards. On the 9th minute it was two nil with F.Djordjevic heading past the keeper from a corner. Salksters Scousers dominated the first half but deep into first half injury time Wilsons Wanderers pulled a goal back with I.Afellay tapping in after some woeful keeping. The second half was again all Salksters Scousers and on the 75th minute they grabbed the final goal with F.Djordjevic curling one in from a free-kick. In truth Salksters Scousers should of scored a lot more.
Tenthree's Terriers won this tight affair against Bens Arsenal. The game was not what you would call a spectacle with little forward play. In fact the only clear cut chance of the game brought the goal as D.Pabon rose above the defence and headed a free-kick on the 64th minute to give Tenthree's Terriers all the points.
WLKRAS's Warriors dominated the first half against Franjo's Fanatics with some excellent play. It was a surprise though that it took till the 38th minute for the home side to take the lead with a fine strike from S.Davis. The second half was much the same with WLKRAS's Warriors controlling the play. However despite there pressure they couldn't add to the tally and on the 86th minute J.Windass equalised for Franjo's Fanatics with their first real chance of the game.

The first half was all Bens Arsenal as they dominated the home side Chester Pheonix. Chester Pheonix failed to register a single effort on target whilst Bens Arsenal peppered the goal without getting past the keeper. The second half though was much the same with Bens Arsenal dominating and on the 53rd minute they finally took the lead as F.Johnson heading in from a corner. Soon after they made it two nil with T.Hemed beating the offside trap and dinking the ball over the onrushing keeper. It was getting far too easy for the away side and on the 79th minute the final goal was scored as C.Dolan jinked through the area and slotted in past the keeper.
Copper's Horses started quickly and on the 6th minute they took the lead with a fine strike from S.Schwab which beat the Hoskins Hurricanes keeper into the top corner. Twelve minutes later it was two nil with the same player firing from distance. However the game seemed to die a death after the second goal with Copper's Horses not really pressing forward their advantage. Hoskins Hurricanes just weren't at the races.
Daves Dinamos controlled the majority of the game against Fullers Dragons without pressuring the keeper. The first effort of the game came in the 39th minute but Daves Dinamos missed the chance from the penalty spot. The second half was all the home side and on the hour they finally took the lead with A.Umar curling in from outside the area. With three minutes remaining in the game Daves Dinamos had another chance to score from the penalty spot but yet again they failed to convert.
Franjo's Fanatics opened the scoring in the 2nd minute against Balthazars Battlers with a low strike from K.Zohore. The rest of the half saw both sides battling for possession without getting past the middle third of the pitch. The second half was seven minutes old when the next goal was scored with Balthazars Battlers levelling the scores with a low shot from M.Harnik which gave the keeper little chance of saving. Like the first half the rest of the game seemed to be a midfield battle with neither sides adding to their tally.
Panpardus's Pirates took the early lead against WLRKAS's Warriors with A.Mejia tapping in from close range after some woeful defending. On the 23rd minute though they were reduced to ten men after D.Grigore was sent off for a second yellow card. Four minutes later WLKRAS's Warriors equalised as F.di Santo hit a thunderous free-kick past the keeper. The second half was surprisingly all Panpardus's Pirates and on the 76th minute they grabbed what turned out to be the winner as K.Sema hit home from the penalty spot after a poor challenge.
Salksters Scousers and Tenthree's Terriers played out a dire game with little action for the fans to cheer about. The first half saw only one shot which came from Tenthree's Terriers but it failed to really test the keeper. The second half wasn't much cop either for the fans and they were beginning to vent their frustrations when J.Beausejour fired in from an acute angle on the 89th minute to give Salksters Scousers all three points.
Segundo's Snakes and Diego's Imposters played out a poor forty five minutes with only the one shot on target from Diego's Imposters. The second half was a lot better and on the 54th minute S.Lammers gave Segundo's Snakes the lead via the penalty spot after a handball in the area. Three minutes later it was two nil with E.Hyndman heading in from a corner. The second goal seemed to give Diego's Imposters a kick up the ass and they began to outplay the home side and with three minutes remaining in the game W.Pettigrew pulled a goal back but it was too little too late for the away side.
Wilson Wanderers were a goal down within a minute against Gav's Gunners as O.Niasse slotted in from outside the area. Gav's Gunners were all over the home side and just before the break they had the chance to add a further goal but the striker somehow missed from a yard. The second half was all Gav's Gunners but Wilsons Wanderers keeper was brilliant and managed to keep the scoreline to just the one.

The first half belonged to Panpardus's Pirates as they dominated the home side Balthazars Battlers and on the 19th minute they took the lead with a low effort from K.Sema which beat the keeper at his near post. It was all Balthazars Battlers and on the stroke of half time they had another chance with a penalty but the Panpardus's Pirates keeper saved the strike with ease. The second half was much the same however on the 67th minute Panpardus's Pirates were reduced to ten men after K.Mohammed was sent off for a rash challenge. Despite having ten men they still dominated the rest of the game with ease.
Bens Arsenal had the better of the game against Franjo's Fanatics and on the 18th minute they grabbed the lead with T.Hemed heading in from close range after a well taken corner. Bens Arsenal controlled the rest of the half with ease and on the 43rd minute they added goal number two with A.Bouhaddouz slotting in from just outside the area. The second half was all Bens Arsenal however they couldn't breakthrough the stubborn Franjo's Fanatics keeper. Their was only one extra goal in the game as on the 79th minute N.Herron curled in the from 25 yards to give Franjo's Fanatics a goal to give the fans something to cheer about.
Diego's Imposters fans will be going home disappointed after a dire performance against Copper's Horses. The first half saw the away side piling forward without breaking a sweat but they couldn't breakthrough the Diego's Imposters defence either. The second half was a different story though as within a minute S.Schwab gave Copper's Horses the lead. They carried on the forward pressure and on the 70th minute they added the killer goal with a thunderous strike from M.Lustig which gave the keeper no chance of saving. In truth Copper's Horses should've scored a lot more.
Fullers Dragons controlled the start of the game against Segundo's Snakes and on the 20th minute R.Babel gave them the lead with a curling effort into the top corner. They carried on the dominance but failed to add to their tally. The second half saw Segundo's Snakes coming out and taking over the dominance of play. Twelve minutes into the half Renatinho levelled the scores with a well struck effort from just inside the area. Fullers Dragons just weren't playing at the same level as the first half and on the 86th minute R.Gabrielsen won the game for Segundo's Snakes with a brave header.
A dire game between Gav's Gunners and Salksters Scousers saw little in the way of action between either side in the first half. The second half wasn't much cop either with only one effort in the final forty five minutes which saw D.Alibec heading in for Salksters Scousers to give them all three points.
Hoskins Hurricanes took an early lead against Wilsons Wanderers as A.Rooney fired in from the penalty spot after a poorly timed challenge. The first half was pretty even with both sides entertaining the fans. The second half was six minutes old when the next goal was scored as Hoskins Hurricanes doubled their lead with a fine strike from D.McGeouch. Like the first half though the game became a bit of a battle with both sides trying their best to score however neither side managed to breakthrough the opposition defence.
Tenthree's Terriers played the better football against Chester Pheonix and on the 14th minute C.Dempsey curled in a free-kick from 30 yards after a two footed lunge which surprisingly didn't see a red card. Just before the break Chester Pheonix had the chance to pull level but the final effort was as poor as their play. The second half was all Tenthree's Terriers with some excellent play and the only surprise was that it took till the 82nd minute for the final goal to be scored with Souza doing the honours for Tenthree's Terriers.
Not a great game for the purists as WLKRAS's Warriors and Daves Dinamos played out a feisty ninety minutes. The first half saw a spate of yellow cards but that was about it. The second half was two minutes old when WLKRAS's Warriors were reduced to ten men after C.Kouyate was sent off for a second yellow card. The came pretty much became a battle and on the 69th minute S.Boenisch was sent off for a rash tackle which saw both side down to ten men. By the end of the game the fans let the players know what they thought of the performance.

WLKRAS's Warriors started the game the better as they kept the ball away from the Diego's Imposters side and on the 34th minute they took the lead with a powerful strike from F.di Santo which gave the keeper no chance of saving. The second half though was all Diego's Imposters and on the 59th minute G.Castro slotted in from close range to level the tie. The goal lifted Diego's Imposters side more and on the 82nd minute they took the lead with a curling effort from W.Pettigrew which beat the keeper into the top corner.

FMS League Cup ¼ Final 1st Leg
A quiet first half between Copper's Horses and Segundo's Snakes with the play not really getting out of the middle third of the pitch. The second half was alittle better as they seemed to up the tempo. The first goal of the tie was scored on the 71st minute as Segundo's Snakes took the lead with a long range effort from E.Akbaba. However the lead didn't last long as two minutes later S.Kalou equalised for Copper's Horses. The game became quite open and with a minute remaining in the game the winner was scored as S.Kalou gave the home side a 2-1 advantage going into the second leg.
Salksters Scousers controlled the play in the first half and on the 20th minute C.Jorquera headed them into the lead after beating the defence to a looping cross. The rest of the half saw the Franjo's Fanatics goal being peppered with shot after shot but luckily for them their keeper was in inspired form. The second half was eleven minutes old when J.Mendes grabbed Salksters Scousers second goal with a low effort from outside the area. The home side was cruising however on the 86th minute Franjo's Fanatics pulled a goal back as M.Pazdan scored a comical own goal to leave the tie poised a 2-1.
The final first leg tie saw Tenthree's Terriers taking on Daves Dinamos and it was Tenthree's Terriers who scored first with a thunderous effort from M.Kanunnikov on the 3rd minute. Daves Dinamos reacted well and on the 20th minute they levelled the tie with a simple strike from R.Gestede. Straight from kick off it was 2-1 as B.Gama intercepted a loose pass to give Daves Dinamos the lead.
The second half of the tie was not the greatest forty five minutes you'll ever see with some very sloppy play however on the 86th minute S.Ghoddos headed in for Tenthree's Terriers to set up an exciting second leg.

Results:
Copper's Horses 2-1 Segundo's Snakes
Salksters Scousers 2-1 Franjo's Fanatics
Tenthree's Terriers 2-2 Daves Dinamos

FMS League Cup ¼ Final 2nd Leg
The second leg saw the home side WLKRAS's Warriors level the tie on the 11th minute as A.Semenov fired them into a 1-0 on the night lead. WLKRAS's Warriors were controlling the play in the first half and just before the break they somehow managed to miss the target from close range after the keeper had misjudged a simple cross. The second half was all WLKRAS's Warriors with a show in how to pass the ball however the final execution of the shot was dire and they never really tested the keeper. Diego's Imposters weren't getting much of the ball but deep deep into injury time G.Castro hit a speculative effort towards goal and it bounced in front of the keeper and over him to send the away side into the next round despite having their asses handed to them throughout the ninety minutes

FMS Premier League:
Eight minutes into the game Segundo's Snakes were reduced to ten men after R.Gabrielsen was sent off for a rash challenge on a Balthazars Battlers player. After the sending off Balthazars Battlers piled on the pressure and they controlled the majority of the first half without really getting close to the goal and the first half surprisingly ended 0-0. The second half was ten minutes old when the first goal was scored as the ten men of Segundo's Snakes broke the deadlock as Emre Akbaba headed in from close range. Balthazars Battlers reacted well and started the forward pressure again. However like the first half they couldn't get through the defence and with nine minutes remaining Segundo's Snakes countered one of their many attacks and C.Obasi fired in to give the ten men all three points.
Bens Arsenal were a goal down with five minutes against Daves Dinamos as C.Gentner slotted in after a great team move. The goal though seemed to give the Bens Arsenal players a kick up the ass as they started to get to every ball first and on the 25th minute A.Bouhaddouz curled in the equaliser from the corner of the area. The rest of the half saw a barrage of Bens Arsenal shots without breaking through. The second half was much the same with Daves Dinamos on the back foot throughout the forty five minutes and on the 75th minute the winning goal was scored with F.Johnson slotting in to give Bens Arsenal a deserved three points.
Chester Pheonix were on the back foot from the start with Panpardus's Pirates controlling the ball a lot better than the home side. Despite all the pressure it took till the 40th minute for them to open the scoring as O.Assaidi jinking through the defence with ease and firing under the onrushing keeper. The second half was four minutes old when the next goal was scored as M.Diouf saw the keeper off his line to dink it over from 30 yards. The rest of the half was one way traffic with Panpardus's Pirates dominating however they failed to add to their tally.
Diego's Imposters never came close to beating Salksters Scousers as the away side battered them. The only surprise in the game was the fact it took till the 41st minute for Salksters Scousers to open the scoring as D.Alibec beat the offside trap and wasted no time in firing past the keeper. The second half was again controlled by the away side and on the 62nd minute C.Jorquera doubled Salksters Scousers lead with a low effort which gave the keeper little if no chance of saving. The final goal in the game arrived with three minutes remaining as J.Mendes headed in a corner.
The battler of the bottom two saw Fullers Dragons taking on Wilsons Wanderers. It was the Mods side who took the lead as I.Afellay fired in from the edge of the area on the 3rd minute. The away side piled forward and on the 26th minute it was two nil with D.Stephens beating the Fullers Dragons keeper with ease from ten yards. The second half was a different story though as Fullers Dragons came out fighting and on the 54th minute R.Babel headed in to make it two one. It was constant pressure from the home side and it eventually paid off as on the 89th minute J.MacFarlane curled the ball in to give the home team a share of the points.
Six minutes into the game Hoskins Hurricanes took the lead against Gav's Gunners as C.Cadden headed in from close range. However it was a false dawn for the home fans as Gav's Gunners ran riot and on the 19th minute Romulo tapped in from two yards after a flap by the keeper. Ten minutes later it was 2-1 with O.Niasse doing the honours after finishing a great team move. The second half was all Gav's Gunners but it took till the 88th minute for the final goal to be scored with B.Natcho firing in after beating the keeper to a loose ball.
Tenthree's Terriers took an early lead against Franjo's Fanatics with C.Dempsey curling a free-kick in from 30 yards after a poorly timed challenge by the Franjo's Fanatics defence. However the rest of the half was about as interesting as watching paint dry with little action. The second half wasn't much better with neither side pressurising the two keepers. However with nine minutes remaining in the game Franjo's Fanatics equalised with a low shot from S.Rondon. A hare of the pints in truth was about as much as both sides deserved.
A barn stormer of a game between WLKRAS's Warriors and Copper's Horses and on the 13th minute Copper's Horses took the lead as S.Okazaki headed in from a corner. Six minutes later though it was 1-1 with F.di Santo slotting in from six yards. The rest of the half was end to end football without neither side adding another goal. The second half was barely a minute old when S.Davis gave WLKRAS's Warriors the lead with a curling effort. The fans were being treat to a great game and on the 77th minute Copper's Horses equalised with V.Obinna doing the honours from inside the area. With four minutes remaining the winner was scored as T.MacNab sent the home fans wild with a well struck effort to give WLKRAS's Warriors the three points.

FMS League Cup ¼ Final 2nd Leg:
Daves Dinamos took an early lead against Tenthree's Terriers with a fine strike from R.Gestede which gave the keeper no chance of saving. Soon after they had another chance with what should have been a simple tap in but the striker somehow managed to fluff the effort wide. The rest of the half became a bit of a midfield battle with little forward play. The second half was all Tenthree's Terriers and just before the hour they equalised with D.Pabon heading in from close range. They carried on the forward pressure but they failed to get the winner. The game went into extra time and in truth it was a waste of thirty minutes. The game went to penalties which Tenthree's Terriers won 4-2.
A dire game in truth for the fans with neither Franjo's Fanatics and Salksters Scousers managing to register a shot in the first half. The second half wasn't much better but on the 67th M.Thorsby gave Salksters Scousers the lead with a fine strike to make it 1-0 on the night and 3-1 on aggregate. That shot and goal was in truth the only real effort in the final forty five minutes.
The final tie of the ¼ Finals saw Segundo's Snakes facing Copper's Horses. It was the home side which dominated the game with the majority of the play being in the Copper's Horses half. However for all the control they didn't manage to open the scoring. The second half was two minutes old when Segundo's Snakes grabbed the lead with C.Nunnely scoring to also level the tie. Segundo's Snakes were all over Copper's Horses but just couldn't get past the keeper. Deep into injury time the winning goal was scored as R.Alvarez hit a powerful strike for Copper's Horses to send them through to the semi finals 3-2 on aggregate

FMS Premier League:
Balthazars Battlers started the game against Copper's Horses the better and on the 14th minute M.Harnik headed in for the away side. It wasn't long till they had another chance with a well worked team move which saw the Copper's Horses keeper at full stretch to save. On the 34th minute though Copper's Horses levelled the tie with a powerful strike from D.Capel to send the home crowd wild. The second half was seven minutes old when Copper's Horses took the lead with a fine strike from S.Kalou which gave the keeper little chance of saving. The second half belonged to Copper's Horses with a constant barrage but with a minute remaining in the game O.Martin levelled the game for Balthazars Battlers. Overall a point is a fair reflection of the game.
The game was two minutes old when Daves Dinamos took the lead over Chester Pheonix with a fine hit from R.Gestede. On the 29th minute it was two nil with the same player heading in after some poor Chester Pheonix defending. With nine minutes remaining in the half it was three nil with R.Gestede completing his hat-trick from the spot after a handball in the area. The second half was mainly dominated by Daves Dinamos however on the 66th minute Alan pulled a goal back for Chester Pheonix after the Daves Dinamos defence seemed to fall asleep. This was about all the away side could manage as after the goal it was one way traffic and on the 81st minute K.Acosta made it 4-1 with a low strike past the keeper.
Not a great spectacle with little in the way of exciting play between Gav's Gunners and Diego's Imposters. On the 16th minute Gav's Gunners took the lead as Romulo fired in from the penalty spot after a poor challenge in the area. Just after the half hour some more sloppy play saw the equaliser as D.O'Kane tapped in after the Gav's Gunners keeper flapped at a simple cross. The second half was a dire forty five minutes of play with neither side giving the fans anything to scream about.
Tenthree's Terriers took an early lead against Hoskins Hurricanes as A.Surman hit a powerful effort into the top corner. However on the 17th minute C.Adam equalised with a well struck free-kick which gave the keeper no chance of saving. Eleven minutes later though Tenthree's Terriers retook the lead with a low shot from D.Pabon which beat the keeper at his near post. The second half was all Tenthree's Terriers as they piled on the pressure however it took till the 87th minute for the final goal to be scored as B.Ruiz curled one in from outside the area to give Tenthree's Terriers an impressive 3-1 win.
An early goal killed the game as on the 9th minute Panpardus's Pirates took the lead against Franjo's Fanatics with a well struck effort from A.Mejia. As said before though the game pretty died after the goal with neither side making any sort of attacking motion. The second half wasn't much better with little in the way of pressure. Both sets of keepers might as-well have stayed in bed for this match.
The against Salksters Scousers and Fullers Dragons saw a goal after only sixteen minutes as A.Sissoko fired in from outside the area to give the away side the lead. After the goal Salksters Scousers controlled the play without ever getting close to the goal. The second half was a minute old when F.Djordjevic equalised for Salksters Scousers with a well worked team move. On the 58th minute it was 2-1 with G.Vernetti doing the honours for the home side. It was one way traffic with Salksters Scousers dominating and on the 88th minute K.Ajer made it three one with a brave header.
Segundo's Snakes and Bens Arsenal played out a poor first half with Bens Arsenal having the only chance with a penalty after a handball in the area, however the Segundo's Snakes keeper was on hand to block the shot. The second half was alittle better, well for Bens Arsenal anyway as his side piled on the pressure and on the 75th minute they took the lead with a tap in from T.Hemed. Four minutes later the second goal was scored as T.Hemed headed in from a looping cross. Segundo's Snakes never looked like getting anything from the second half.
Wilsons Wanderers went a goal down against WLKRAS's Warriors on the 14th minute as R.Ghoochannejhad beat the offside trap to fire in low past the keeper. They carried on the forward pressure and with nine minutes remaining in the half it was two nil with F.di Santo curling in a free-kick. The second half was all WLKRAS's Warriors apart from just before the hour mark when a lapse in concentration saw Wilsons Wanderers R.Booth firing in from just outside the area. After the goal WLKRAS's Warriors dominated but failed to add to their tally

FMS Premier League:
Wilsons Wanderers made a great start for once with a goal from A.MacDonald in the 17th minute from outside the area. Soon after they had another chance with a long range effort which looked like it had crossed the line but the referees assistant adjudged it not to have. Wilsons Wanderer were all over Balthazars Battlers in the first half but just couldn't get past the keeper. The second half was much the same with a dominant performance but like the first half they struggled to get past the keeper. On the 77th minute they were punished for this with a the only strike from a Balthazars Battlers player as M.Harnik equalised with a fine strike. Wilsons Wanderers will be feeling this is two points lost.
Bens Arsenal controlled the game against Copper's Horses with ease and on the 23rd minute they took the lead as F.Johnson headed in from close range after some poor defending. It was one way traffic for Bens Arsenal with constant pressure. The second half was much the same with Bens Arsenal keeping possession and on the 58th minute T.Hemed made it two nil with a low strike at the keepers near post. Copper's Horses never came close to getting the ball and it was only the fact that their keeper was in outstanding form that the scoreline stayed at 2-0.
Segundo's Snakes were the better side against home side Chester Pheonix and on the 21st minute C.Nunnely headed in from a corner. Chester Pheonix weren't getting close to the ball and they the home crowd jeered them off the pitch. The second half was nine minutes old when it was two nil as S.Lammers rounded the keeper and fired into the empty net. On the 57th minute Segundo's Snakes made it three nil with S.Lammers grabbing his second of the game with a curling effort from just outside the area. The away side carried on the pressure but with six minutes remaining in the game it was Chester Pheonix who grabbed the final goal of the game with W.Ritchie hitting home from just inside the area.
A game of two halves between Diego's Imposters and Hoskins Hurricanes with the home side controlling. Diego's Imposters were all over Hoskins Hurricanes but it took them till the 42nd minute to score with a long range effort from S.Long which gave the keeper little chance of saving. However the second half belonged to Hoskins Hurricanes with attack after attack and on the 72nd minute A.Rooney equalised with a brave header which the defence should've done better to prevent.
A very even game between Franjo's Fanatics and Daves Dinamos with both teams playing some entertaining football. It was Franjo's Fanatics who took the lead on the 28th minute as S.Rondon jinked into the area and fired with pace under the keeper. Soon after they had another chance with a penalty which was in truth pretty dire as it went well wide of the post. The second half much the same with some end to end football but despite the constant attacks it took till the 84th minute for the final goal to be scored as C.Gentner fired in from the penalty spot for Daves Dinamos to give his side a shared of the points.
Fullers Dragons were outplayed again by Gav's Gunners but it took till the 40th minute for Gav's Gunners to score as O.Niasse headed in from a free-kick. The second half was all Gav's Gunners with constant pressure and on the 66th minute the final goal was scored as O.Niasse ran into the area with ease and wasted no time in firing in under the keeper to give the away side all three points.
Tenthree's Terriers made light work of Panpardus's Pirates with some silky football. The only surprise was that it took till the 32nd minute for the first goal to scored as Eren Derdiyok fired with pace past the keeper from just inside the area. The second half was a joy to watch for the Tenthree's Terriers fans and on the 67th minute G.Kashia headed in the second goal with a bullet of a header. With eleven minutes remaining in the game I.Smolnikov was sent off for a lunge. Despite being down to ten men Tenthree's Terriers added a third goal with Rafa rattling in off the crossbar from ten yards. A clinical performance.
Salksters Scousers took a 15th minute lead against WLKRAS's Warriors with D.Alibec slotting in from close range after running into the area unmarked with ease. However ten minutes later WLKRAS's Warriors equalised with a fine strike from R.Ghoochannejhad which beat the keeper low and to his left. The second half was however all Salksters Scousers and the 58th minute J.Mendes gave the away side the lead against with a thunderous effort. Two minutes later WLKRAS's Warriors were reduced to ten men after C.Kouyate was sent off for a second yellow card. Salksters Scousers upped the tempo and with six minutes remaining in the game they added goal number three with a well struck effort from J.Mendes to give the away side three goal and three points

31 mil for Diouf, you are having a laugh at that, lucky we are doing okay but paying 18 for Simpson is nasty as well.

FMS League Cup Semi Final 1st Leg
Diego's Imposters and Copper's Horses played out a scrappy first half with little in the way of entertainment for the fans. The first half saw not a single worthwhile effort on goal. The second half though was only four minutes old when Diego's Imposters S.Dann fired them into the lead. On the 56th minute it was two nil with W.Lyon tapping in from close range after the Copper's Horses keeper failed to catch a simple cross. The rest of the game was pretty much like the first with both teams failing to string more than a few passes together.
Tenthree's Terriers took the lead against Salksters Scousers within five minutes of the game with Eren Derdiyok heading in a looping cross. They carried on the forward pressure but on the 21st minute Salksters Scousers counter attacked them and D.Alibec finished the move with a well placed effort into the top corner. The second half of the game was controlled by Salksters Scousers but they couldn't get past the Tenthree's Terriers brilliant defence.

Results:
Diego's Imposters 2-0 Copper's Horses
Tenthree's Terriers 1-1 Salksters Scousers

Chesterfan2 has also appointed a new manager for Chester Pheonix with 47yr old Dutch manager Frank de Boer. He has won five league titles and one cup competition in his managerial career. However his most recent job didn't go to plan as he was manager of Fullers Dragons. Chesterfan2 will be hoping his new manager has a better time with his club.

FMS Premier League:
Chester Pheonix were reduced to ten men within five minutes after C.Bollan was sent off for a two footed lunge on a Copper's Horses player. This of course saw Copper's Horses controlling the attacking play with relative ease. However they couldn't get through the defence in the first half. The second half was much the same with Copper's Horses controlling the play and within five minutes S.Okazaki gave them the lead with a powerful strike from outside the area. On the 57th minute it was two nil with P.Mamaev showing the defence a clean pair of heels to fire the ball past the keeper. It was constant pressure from the home side and on the 69th minute the final goal was scored with D.Escudero rounding the keeper to slot home into an empty net.
An excellent game for the fans with both teams going for it and on the 22nd minute Daves Dinamos grabbed the lead against Panpardus's Pirates with a well struck shot from Ivan Cavaleiro.

The second half was seven minutes old when Panpardus's Pirates were reduced to ten men after K.Mohammed was sent off for a second yellow card. This didn't stop the attacking football and on the 70th minute Daves Dinamos took the lead again with curling shot from B.Gama. Two minutes later though the final goal was scored with M.Diouf grabbing his second of the game to give both sides a share of the points.
Diego's Imposters and Tenthree's Terriers played out a dire game, well after the 4th minute as Rafa headed a corner in. For the rest of the game though the it was poor with little for the fans to actually cheer for. Not a great game for the fans.
WLKRAS's Warriors made a great start against Gav's Gunners with a 6th minute goal from F.di Santo. However after the goalGav's Gunners started to pile forward and on the 35th minute they equalised with a thunderous strike from O.Niasse. The second half was all WLKRAS's Warriors but it took them till nine minutes from time to grab the winner with a low shot from F.di Santo.
Fullers Dragons showed some great defensive play for once as they weathered the constant onslaught from Hoskins Hurricanes. The first half saw Hoskins Hurricanes not managing a meaningful effort on goal.

The second half was all the home side and on the 69th minute the winning goal was scored as M.Thorsby jinked through the defence and fired under the keeper.
The first half between Segundo's Snakes and Franjo's Fanatics was a dire affair with not much action for the fans to cheer about. The second half though was a lot better and eight minutes into the half S.Lammers beat the offside trap and dinked the ball over the onrushing keeper to give Segundo's Snakes the lead. Franjo's Fanatics reacted well to going a goal down and they started t pile forward themselves and with eleven minutes remaining in the game S.Rondon equalised to give both sides a share of the points.
Wilsons Wanderer took an early lead as N.MacPherson fired in on the 2nd minute after running through the defence with ease. After the goal though Wilsons Wanderers reverted to form as Bens Arsenal piled on the pressure and on the 15th minute Hamit Altintop headed in frm close range after some woeful defending. The second half was nine minutes old when Bens Arsenal took the lead they deserved with A.Bouhaddouz doing the honours from just outside the area. The rest of the half was all Bens Arsenal firing at every opportunity but the Wilsons Wanderers keeper was brilliant and denied them any further goals

FMS FA Cup 1st Rd 1st Leg
Gav's Gunners grabbed an early lead against Bens Arsenal with Romulo running into the area and firing under the keeper on the 8th minute. Bens Arsenal reacted well with some excellent attacking play without really pressing the Gav's Gunners keeper. The second half was all Bens Arsenal but it took them till the 85th minute for them to equalise to set the second leg up. In truth though Bens Arsenal should have really put this tie to bed.
Panpardus's Pirates took the lead in the 7th minute against Chester Pheonix with a well struck effort from P.Billing. However on the 27th minute Panpardus's Pirates were reduced to ten men after D.Tosic was sent off for a second yellow card.

However it wasn't long till Balthazars Battlers equalised as Anicet barged into the area and slotted in from close range. On the 26th minute it was 2-1 to Balthazars Battlers with K.McDonald beat the defence to a loose ball and fired in under the keeper.

However as before it didn't take long for Balthazars Battlers to score as M.Harnik headed in from a corner.

They carried on the pressure and eight minutes into the second half it was two nil with R.Ghoochannejhad firing in from ten yards to give the keeper no chance of saving. In truth WLKRAS's Warriors should have scored a lot more.
Franjo's Fanatics grabbed a first minute lead against Fullers Dragons with a low shot from S.Rondon. However on the 15th minute it was 1-1 with R.Babel heading in the equaliser. The game became a real midfield battle with each side giving little away. Nine minutes into the second half Fullers Dragons took the lead as P.Anderson curled in from outside the area. With seven minutes remaining in the game Franjo's Fanatics equalised with a brave header from S.McTominay.
A dire first leg against Hoskins Hurricanes and Tenthree's Terriers saw neither side making any sort of impact and the first forty five minutes saw not a single chance of goal. The second half wasn't much better however on the 80th minute D.Pabon grabbed a lucky goal with a speculative strike to give the Hoskins Hurricanes keeper no chance of saving.
Salksters Scousers made light work of Copper's Horses with a dominant performance. Copper's Horses weren't getting near the ball even when they were playing against ten men after Salksters Scousers were reduced to ten men thanks to M.Thorsby being sent off on the half hour.
