oneteaminglasgow Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Europa Conference League, Second Qualifying Round 2029 - First Leg Spoiler An absolute pumping. They're a really good side, and we're not a great side, so pretty much as expected. Second leg is a bit of a formality now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Our foreign* adventures continue as we head to Clackmannanshire in the Scottish Challenge Cup. Alloa are now in the fourth tier and managed by notorious arsehole Scott Bain, so I'd quite like to beat them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Transfer Window 2029 Some shite relelased/sold and a load of guys out on loan. I was trying to get rid of a few other players as my squad is pretty bloated, but no takers so oh well. Only 3 players in. We've actually got a pretty good team, by Welsh league standards, so not a huge amount I can do, as guys who'll really improve us won't come.. Anyway, first up is Shaun McGuire, a young striker released by TNS. Shows the gulf between us a bit, he spent 4 seasons at them without making a single appearance and comes in as my best forward - comfortably. He's quick, a good finisher and has good movement off the ball, so I think he'll be a good player for us. Can also play left wing. Spoiler Adam Henderson joins as our new number 1, from Fraserburgh. He's just overall better than the boy he replaces, nothing special but if he can save us a couple of points a season, then he'll be more than worth it. Spoiler Gary Parry has a ridiculous rhyming name, but joins as a left back/centre half. WIll play a bit at both positions, He has absolutely nothing going forward, but pretty solid defensively, so that's good. Spoiler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 August 2029 Well, despite good results on the face of it, we've been pretty unimpressive so far. High point was fighting back from 3-1 down to beat Cardiff Met, but we conceded last minute from a corner against Caernarfon, and then really struggled against Flint. Still, 7 points from 9 so I can't complain too much. Early days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 September 2029 Another unbeaten month, including a draw with TNS where we equalised despite having 10 men at the time. We deserved it as well, which was nice, and we actually managed a handful of good perfromances - TNS, Barry and Connah's Quay. We also beat Alloa delightfully, and remain in the Welsh League Cup, so here hoping we can keep the results coming in. 4 points behind TNS, but still plenty to play for, and we've shown that we have what it takes to give them a good game this season, so who knows. I'm sure this is exactly the kind of mouth watering fixture that the SPFL were looking for when inviting foreign teams into the Challenge Cup... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 October 2029 We really should have beaten Newtown, we missed loads of chances and then they score with their only chance 10 minutes from the end. Complete pain in the arse. Rest of the month went well, despite losing a shootout with Linfield, but we've still to lose a domestic game this season. Assuming we win our game in hand, we'll be back to 3 points behind. TNS took a 3-0 doing off Connah's Quay this month, gives me hope that they're a bit poorer this season and we might be able to mount a challenge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 November 2029 Lovely stuff - we actually played pretty well in all of these games as well. Need to hope this keeps up/ Bit of a pain in the arse that we've not lost a game yet this season and we're still not top of the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Spoiler Fucking scenes. We've finally beaten them. It was a very even game, but then my left back inexplicably found himself on the edge of their box and scored a screamer with a few minutes left, and that was that. We'll need to make sure we take advantage of this. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 December 2029 After the massive high of beating TNS, I got unceremoniously dumped out the Welsh Cup. I'd rested a load of my best players to try and focus on the league, and it didn't work. We struggled through the rest of the month, but still ultimately took full points. We got very lucky in the Queens Park game, they were absolutely cruising at 2-1, but then within 5 minutes they gifted us an equaliser, got a man sent off and then conceded our winner, so that was nice of them. We're still not fucking top Genuinely can't believe that we've not lost all season and are still 2nd, only 4 points ahead of 3rd. The only teams that TNS have dropped points against are me and Connah's Quay, against all the other teams it's played 16, won 16, scored 55 and conceded 6. I really think I need to win it this season, my best player is Bradley Walker, who is refusing to sign a new deal and has clubs like Motherwell looking at him. He's not the only one with other clubs trying to sign him, so I think I'll struggle to keep my team together, and don't know if I'll be able to sign similar quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Welsh League Cup Semi Final - 2030 Spoiler Wouldn't normally make a big deal out a semi-final but the final is later on this month... We played fine, just soaked up pressure and hit them on the break effectively. They missed an absolute sitter at 1-0, and after that they didn't really look like getting back into it. Bit of revenge for the Welsh Cup exit as well. Anyway, into the final we go... We face Connah's Quay Nomads, who beat TNS on penalties in the other semi final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Welsh League Cup Final - 2030 Spoiler Our first bit of silverware arrives courtesy of a penalty shootout! We were good in the first half without creating too much, and then pretty poor in the second. They missed a 92nd minute penalty, and then the same boy missed again in the shootout so that's a real shame for him. We basically owe the trophy to our keeper, who was outstanding throughout the game, and saved a few in the shootout too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 January 2030 Another perfect month - we absolutely stole the 3 points against Bangor in the league game, and I was quite annoyed that we didn't run up a big score against Monmouth after being 2-0 up in 10 minutes. Still 2nd, but we're starting to pull away from Connah's Quay and hopefully turning it into a 2 horse race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 February 2030 Wee bit of activity on deadline day, as I let my 2nd choice keeper and 5th choice centre back leave. No real losses, and they'd both asked to leave. Was a shame to see Griffith-Norris go as he was the first signing I made for Bala, but it was time. I also brought in one player, striker Beineon O'Brien-Whitmarsh. He's a bit more experienced than any of my other options, and provides a better back up for McGuire than I have available already. Looks pretty good overall, no glaring weaknesses for a striker, and should be able to grab a few goals once he's up to speed. Spoiler Disappointing not o beat Connah's, but the rest of the month was exceptional, including another victory over TNS. They went down to 10 men just before half time, and then shut up shop for the rest of the game. Took a really good free kick from Morgan Roberts to break them down, and they had no answers. They also drew with Connah's Quay, which puts us 3 points clear at the top! As I said before, they've still won every single game against anyone outside the top 3, but their record against us and Nomads is W1 D2 L3. We need to make this count and take the title from here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) March 2030 We lost our first game of the league campaign away at Connah's Quay, and frankly we deserved to lose it. We nearly stole a point at the end, but it really wouldn't have been deserved in any way. The other two games were straightforward wins without really having to get out of first gear. This month saw something remarkable though... TNS, the ultimate flat track bullies, dropped points at home against 4th place Bangor City. Our Gwynedd Derby rivals doing us a pretty massive favour with that. 2 poinst ahead (thanks Bangor) with 3 games left. Next up, TNS at home. Win that, and the title is all but won. It's probably the single biggest game of the save so far. Edited January 17, 2021 by oneteaminglasgow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Matchday 30 - 2030 Spoiler Well, it keeps us in control of the title race without totally killing it off, but given that our best player in the game was our keeper - by an absolute mile as well - I'll take the point. O'Brien-Whitmarsh may have just made signing him worthwhile as well with that goal. He hasn't done a lot for us, but all is forgiven if that sees us over the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Matchday 31- 2030 Spoiler TNS played the day before us, and the dropped points gave us the chance to secure the title, but we just didn't turn up at all. A truly dreadful game of football. All comes down to the final day of the season. If we beat Flint or if TNS fail to beat Connah's Quay, then we're champions.

Popular Post oneteaminglasgow Posted January 17, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2021 Matchday 32 - 2030 Spoiler And we've gotten over the line! TNS fucked it up anyway, but we won our game so it didn't matter what they did. I will admit that I slightly shat myself when they took the lead after 3 minutes, but we played well for the rest of the game and McGuire got the goals to secure the title. Delighted. The final table looks like this. That points total would have only seen us as champions in one other season of the save, but I'm not remotely bothered about that. That's Wales completed, thank f**k for that. Next in line - Kosovo. One final thing - shout out for Shaun McGuire. 44 games, directly involved in 45 goals in his first season playing first team football. Some boy. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
