Tilly's Messageboard
Page: 1 2 3 4 .... [47] [next]
Its been a great 20 years that has brought success with 4 titles 3 cups but the time has come to step down, id like to thank my wife for always supporting me but the rest of my family have been the enemy for so many years. This can now change as I can step into a director role of ffl which can hopefully bring us closer together. The achievement of 451 points all those years ago with sporting crocolbat a feat that will probably never be matched sticks in my memory as the first and most important title which started the ball rolling. I wish everyone else success in the future but the time has come to step down, I'm sorry to my fans im leaving this way, as champions league football had been an almost guarantee in my career but this year with the rules changing my tactics and team struggled through out. Congratulations to alamoo who looks to have lifted the title this year and dad who keeps the trophies coming. Maybe one day I'll get the buzz again but for now good bye
As Ryan Shawcross failed to score any points in last nights Sunderland vs Stoke match, then the score for the FFL Cup Final remains as it was after Sunday’s games:
Long Pants 11 vs Physical Presence 9
Congratulations to Ray, therefore as winner of the 2012/13 FFL Cup Competition, and for retaining the trophy for the second consecutive season.
That’s it for another season of entertaining Cup Football.
See you all at next year;s auction

The FFL Cup Committee
Following a tense weekend of FFL Cup football, the defending cup holders, LONG PANTS, have emerged as winners of the replayed semi-final.
The score was Long Pants 4 vs Bottom Again 0
So Long Pants will face Physical Presence in the FFL Cup Final this coming weekend — with matches played over the 4th, 5th and 6th May to count.
It’s an all-Kohn, father versus son final, so may the best team lift the cup.
Let the mind-games begin.
Regards
The FFL Cup Committee.
Here are the results of the 2013 FFL Cup Semi Finals:
Physical Presence 7 vs Black Magic -2
Long Pants 4 vs Bottom Again (anything but) 4
So, Rob’s great giant-killing spree has come to an end and he can concentrate on the League once more, while Ben must await his Final opponent for another week as the second semi ended all-square.
Long Pants and Bottom Again will have another go this weekend with matches played on Saturday 27th, Sunday 28th, and Monday 29th counting.
In the event of another draw, then Ted’s Countback Rule will apply, as follows:
If the team scores are equal, then the team scores will be broken down into the following categories for comparison in the order given below.
First, the scores of the two forwards
second, the scores of the midfielders
third, the scores of the central defenders
fourth, the scores of the fullbacks
So, for example if the team scores are tied again,
then, the scores of the two sets of forwards will be compared to see if there is now a winner. If they are still equal then the midfielders will be compared, and so on.
Hopefully, we’ll get a winner. If not then we’ll go to a third weekend.
All the best
The FFFL Cup Committee
The semi finals of the FFL Cup will take place this weekend.
Semi final matches are:
LONG PANTS vs ANYTHING BUT BOTTOM AGAIN
PHYSICAL PRESENCE vs BLACK MAGIC
Results when all weekend PL matches are completed - after Man U vs Aston Villa on Monday.
Regards
The FFL Cup Committee
Apologies for the delay in getting the results out, and thanks to Ray for getting the scores update following Monday’s Manchester derby, but I am now able to provide the Quarter final scores.
And what scores they were — one or two shock results setting up two great matches for the semi-finals.
So, on to the results:
LONG PANTS 3 vs HUTH DID THAT VAART -1
ANYTHING BUT BOTTOM 10 vs ENRIQUE’S MY HERO 5
PHYSICAL PRESENCE 12 vs MARIO AND THE REST 2
BLACK MAGIC 5 vs LUIS SUAREZ ATE MY .... 2
So four home wins, and with the highlight being bottom team BLACK MAGIC pulling off another giant killing, by taking out top team LUIS SUAREZ etc,
Defending holders LONG PANTS continue to look a good bet to retain the cup
PHYSICAL PRESENCE are high scorers for this round of the cup, and MARIO (and Jamie) must wait another season.
ANYTHING BUT BOTTOM make up the final four with another decent score.
So the semi-finals of this seasons FFL Cup are as follows:
LONG PANTS vs ANYTHING BUT BOTTOM
PHYSICAL PRESENCE vs BLACK MAGIC
Semis will take place over the weekend of 20th April, and hopefully I’ll be around for the full weekend to get the scores out a bit earlier !
All the best

Oh ye of little faith...........
To those who doubted, disbelieved, and disparaged.........
Long Pants, current cup holders, and long-time aficionados of the FFL, who have graced the top of the league on so many occasions, should never have been doubted.
Dan Pet Rescue, who have topped the league for so much of this season, looked odds on to go through (to me anyway)........but........ read on
Scores for the first round of the FFL Cup are as follows:
Long Pants 15 Dan Pet Rescue 3
Anything but Bottom 5 Have some of that 2
Soon to be Black Magic 6 Last Years Heroes 1
Luis Suarez ate my Hamster 10 Andy’s Johnson FC 6
I’m not sure when Black Magic (current total 107) last scored six in a single weekend, but it was enough to stub out Ted’s feeble effort.
Ditto Anything but bottom who celebrate a rare weekend of joy — maybe next year Alistair ?
Andy's Johnson FC rather predictably left this shambles of a competition at the first hurdle.
So the 2nd round (Quarter Finals) of the FFL Cup looks like this:
Long Pants vs Huth did that Vaart
Anything but bottom vs Enrique’s m,y Hero
Physical Presence vs Mario and the rest
Black Magic vs Luis Suarez ate my......
Quarter Final Matches will be played over the weekend of 6th April.

The Cup Committee
To add to an already exciting FFL Season, the FFL Cup has been delayed to provide a climactic tumult of excitement to the season (or if I’m being honest — I forgot about it).
Whatever, the draw for the first round of the FFL Cup has been made, and ties will be played THIS WEEKEND — yes, THIS WEEKEND.
The first round ties are as follows:
LONG PANTS vs DAN PET RESCUE
ANYTHING BUT BOTTOM vs HAVE SOME OF THAT
BLACK MAGIC (SOON TO BE) vs LAST YEARS HEROES
LUIS SUAREZ ATE MY ... vs ANDY’S JOHNSON FC
The other teams have byes into the 2nd round which will be played over the weekend of 6th April.
Usual rules/procedures..... the team scoring the highest points in matches played this weekend(Sat, Sun, Monday only) will progress into the next round. In the event of a draw then replay will be the following weekend — if still no winner, then Ted’s Special Countback rule will be applied to establish the winner.
Full draw attached to earlier eamil, as a spreadsheet.
Ted (the chair of the FFL Cup Committee)
Many teams appear to benefit from a far eastern break. Bodhinaga never performed well until after he visited India. Alex hoped to improve by visiting Thailand and now Ted believes he will profit by cruising down he South China Sea. So my question is to Tilly .... where do you take your holidays?
As ted jets off for a 2 week cruise of the far east, it's the perfect opportunity to overtake him and close the gap on top-placed-tilly. Will bale and saurez dive in the snow? Or stay on their feet to win me vital points?
