quote]Hey mate sorry but I don’t really remember this? If I did suddenly start a ringers game it wasn’t intended as a slight. Hey with a name like ‘space’ you can’t blame me for being a bit absent minded. I didn’t say anyone couldn’t join either btw, that’s a bit harsh. But once again if that’s how it came over, sorry.
As for the stats stuff? I was only putting thoughts out there. We’re all a part of the team so if people said my point of view was in the minority then I’d have been more than happy with more people in. I was only debating the issue, nothing more. No one’s in charge of the team so apologies once more if I caused offence 🙂
(case in point Lee keeps messaging me asking to join? I said where I stand but if other people want him back in then I said that’s fair play)Pass back? Come on guys I make one point that it makes sense to pass back from kick off. I stand by this point because when you try and run it forward from kick off everytime we get tackled. Just an observation that’s all. Like other people suggest not holding the run button or others say we need to pass quicker. LOL lets not take the stuff I say out of context and put me up in front of a sunny wall with a smoke hanging out my mouth.
Good to have you signed up here Davy.
Ha dont be daft, no offence was taken at all, I got all sentimental with regards to why I joined this place, it didnt matter about stats or how good you were, it was just to play with a great bunch of people fairly who like having a laugh etc, thats the code of XDC, I understand its a little different in FIFA as I suppose it can make a difference, but as much as it does annoy me if you get beat, its ok to taste it 🙂
I know the consoles way is a little different, but I’d have thought it would be the same for any gaming tbh
As your the manager you have to deal with stuff like this, and the press, and the crying players doe when they find out someones on more money oh and the infidelity that comes with it too 😉
Not too sure where the “Pass back” malarky came from? I totally agree with you on that one, I do it all the time since you advised, it makes sense and allows a lil bit o time to think.. keeping it in the centre circle on kickoff is bound to end up in tears, you’ll have the ball taken off you in an instant
As for Nani, it was a blip in the city and hull game too.. just a blip, 3 blips on the trot. I think you’ll find that Fergie blasted him for mouthing off to portugese press, left him out for a while to teach him a lesson to keep his head down whilst working hard with him to get him on track (also he was injured), he learnt and you can see the difference in his game already, It was all down to Fergie, he’s done it over the past 24 years.. as well as made a few cock ups but he’s only human. Mebbe your lot should hire him for a week or 2, to work on the mass of talent your manager bought but cant do F all with 🙂
Cool mate just wanted to make sure. It’s funny you mention about the xdc philosophy as it’s always been with that in mind why I ge a bit funny about disconnecting on games or blocking keepers.
Your right about wanting to have fun on the game over all else but I find FIFA really does test that to the limit when getting beat all the time. BAP team play is (to me) more reliant than any other game Ive played on good team play.
Anywho, ws picked up two wins last night – sprogs in the any role for both. That 6-0 thumping Davy, sprog, and myself handed out felt so good/needed.
Of course my personal fave moment was scoring my (ready for this?) my SECOND bicycle kick thanks to a pinpoint cross from the sprogster. Now only 300 more games and I’ll have the diving headers one too!
On tonight at some point too
(excuse typos but phone typing again as work blocks our forum – can we not get around this somehow with some fancy coding?)
Disconnecting, blocking keepers? whats that all about..
XDC always get beat (Ish) We are world famous for having no organisational skills what so ever regardless of Matts hard work in the effort to get things organised, so its a little surprising to me but hey ho
I’ve not even done 1 bicycle kick, I dont believe they exist, infact I’ve not done a diving header, more fact is I dont get headed goals either! somethings wrong
I too find this game too frustrating as well when we are gettin tonked…..i know this goes against the ethos of what XDC are about…..and i do try to put the fucker down if it gets like that….the problem is once you have had a taste of fine wine dining…..it aint the same goin back to ribena !!!
not on tonight….gonna spend some time with that other person who comes and goes in and out of the flat ?? oh yer the missus !!
when she goes back to work…..no doubt i will be there…..and hopefully insane will find his way back to us as well
perhaps we all need to take a chill pill….or alternatively why not set up 2 teams….1 for those who are in it to win it…..and one for those who play to take part and dont mind getting tonked ?? just a thought ?

I quite like this idea. A non serious non competitive team who couldn’t give a toss about the results so long as they had a bit of a giggle doing so, and a more competitive team that are more focused on the win, the stats, and climbing the rankings.
As I said last night, sometimes The Ringers can get a little too intense and want to play beautiful football all the time and beat the crap out of the opposition nothing wrong with that at all but sometimes I just wanna have a game, have a laugh, and take the piss out of some of the duff moves ( we have had plenty to choose from from the last few days with yours truly being the main instigator 😳 ) we make trying to turn over the opposition. After all it’s a game that should be fun, if it gets to the point when every time you play it is pisses you off then maybe it’s times to play a different game?
I’ll admit last night was one of those moments when we were getting our arses handed to us and no matter what we did we kept getting beat. It wound me up a bit so I though fuck it , rather than letting it get to me I turned it off and played something else.

Probably the best idea since not everyone will like what’s required for a proper competitive team to function. I don’t consider a proper competitive team to be against any XDC ethos, just make sure people know what they’re getting into before they join it and there shouldn’t be any problems. We should do this for future teams in other games as well.

I’ve already shown you how to get around it 🙄

XDCspace 10Ever since putting on The Ringers’ shirt all those nights ago, I’ve only ever wanted to win, and I hate losing as much as anyone here. I’m definitely on the serious, in-it-to-win-it, will shun sexual partners for valuable concentration time, 1st string team (should this idea evolve into an event).
Sure losing, and more importantly, losing badly is demoralising, but it’s those close games and the ones where we thrash teams that make it all worthwhile 🙂
Also, Sunday will be my 2nd night as an honorary Arsenal fan. The first time, Arsenal did get outmuscled 3-0 by Chelsea, but I’m hoping that the game goes a little differently. Don’t you hope so too Sprog? :p
Did Wavy get his transfer fee in the end? I forgot who was meant to send him the carton of Unbongo and packet of pork scratchn’?
😀The Friday sesh was a laugh. Felt good to put away some wins (and quality ones at that!)
Up for some games today after the Gunners match.
Someone else can be postin’ the results but had to stop in (now that Alzir’s reminded me how), we had some storming results last night! It’s all about getting that win-lose ratio the right way round. I’m optimistic that my 9 streak will fall soon and I can’t wait!
Shame my shooting wasn’t all that yesterday but at least I was putting in the Beckemesque, long-ball setups 🙂
Hopefully some of y’all on tonight? Football on the box tomorrow so Wednesday’s gonna be a ‘bye’.Take it easy all.
I’ll be on
Your shootings always been shite 😉 but yes I agree on the long balls and unselfisheness, some of the others could learn from you 😛
I dont bother going for the upfront anymore, cant be arsed, If I wanted to play a game where every fecker does there best to go as ST/CF, I’d pit my chances at playing online Teams, its the exact same
Nicely done on the postin’. The only thing I don’t like is that sometimes you’ll get a low rating but have actually played a good game (honest!)
Mind you, that fk I scored in the final game where we got tonked *dum-dum, tsh*must have been at least 40 yards out!
Positions? Hmmm I know I whore up the LS position rather a lot. The only real set position is Wavy on the basis that his P:G ratio is through the roof, add to that he’s probably our least selfish player to boot! Dan’s been putting in a good stint at ANY so I think we’re all quite happy with that. The rest? Very much open to debate. We’re all pretty inter-changeable and if someone really wants a go upfront but keeps getting stuck in midfield then I’m sure we’ll swap about for a bit.
Hardest thing about having 6 of us on (which is even better fun than normal) is about the communication. I’m quite surprised for such a bunch of sarcy c*nts we’re unusually quiet at times during the game. I sense a whole lot of eyebrows knotted together in concentration.
Just had another look at those scores, they’re a bit off as the stats are for us overall, not this season where we’re 22 – something – 27 at last count yesterday.
mikey…thats you definately down as the stats man…..nice work fella !! is that a lot of hard work or is it easy ?? thats blindin info to be gettin !!
passin and movin is what its all about with this game…..one touch shit is the shizzle !
im happy providin through balls if you fancy a stint up front mikey….as long as the goals are flowin and the ringers are getting that win ratio up….im happy.
agree with spacey though….wavey has to go up front….hornet dan/dale in the any role pick themselves imho.
the way the ringers are progressin…..i might be the next one we ‘fuck off’ 😆
do we need to add any more 90% players do ya think spacey ?? a couple of more seasoned pro’s ?? or we happy with the squad as it is ??
