lazlo_80 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 EXPAT FC plays on a floating barge with a plastic pitch in the middle of the San Francisco bay. The owner made the tough decision to go with this set up due to the ludicrous cost of real estate in the bay area. The team hopes to regain it's initial investment by using the barge as a ferry to Alcatraz island on non-game days and as a means to bootleg Canadian beer into the US in the offseason.

Michael Schlodder Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I am definitely wanting to get into this. I am submitting the intent for Trail & Castlegar FC for entering the Duane Rollins Fantasy League. In a previous fantasy league two rival clubs, Castlegar Hamlet FC and Lokomotiv Trail FC, were owned and operated by two close friends in the Premier League. The derby in the Kootenay region was top drawer each time these two clubs faced one another. With only 30 km between the two club's grounds, traveling support occurred frequently not just from Castlegar and Trail but from surrounding villages. Castlegar Hamlet FC was sold to a foreign investor who used the club more as a tax haven than an actual football club. Hamlet slowly fell from grace being relegated to Division 1. Within three years of new ownership, the Castlegar Hamlet fell into receivership and the foreign owner left the club in the ashes. The original club owner came back to pick up the pieces but financially not able to bring it back to its glory. To renew the love for football in the region, the two best friends got back together over a few pints in Trail to talk about merging the two clubs together.Over a few pints of craft beer, Trail & Castlegar FC was formed. Club name: Trail & Castlegar FC Club colors: Home - Orange and black; Away - blue and gold (in honour of Castlegar Hamlet FC) Nickname: Rivermen Ground: Pople Park - Trail, BC Town population: 7,268Trail & Castlegar FC squad - added 14 April 2017 1 Brandon Watson (CAN) GK 2 Callum Montgomery (CAN) DF 3 Owen Pearce (CAN) DF 4 Stuart Heath (NIR) DF 5 Sho Goto (JPN) DF 7 Sean Prizeman (IRE) CM 8 Eva Batousol (ENG) AM 9 Justin Donaldson (CAN) MF 10 Niklas Süle (GER) DF 11 Blair Sturrock (SCO) MF 12 Alphonso Davies (CAN) MF 13 Tyler Hughes (CAN) captain DF 15 Ashley Burbeary (ENG) MF/ST 16 Brett Levis (CAN) LW 17 Jordie Hughes (CAN) CF 18 Mijat Gaćinović (SRB) MF 19 Ryan McCurdy (NIR) RW 29 Elliot Mitrou (CAN) GK Badge and kits to follow.

Tuscan Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hailing from the bustling metropolis of Aylesbury, Saskatchewan (pop. 42) I bring you the English wannabe wanks, Aylesbury Town FC. The real team I'll enter in this league is one Guillermo has already designed, Saskatoon Athletic FC. Club name: Saskatoon Athletic FC Club colours: green, white, and Saskatoon berry blue (this last colour used sparringly, probably not at all on the home kit) We'll let the supporters organically discover a club nickname.

shermanator Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 BOOM! Sources seconds ago confirm to me that wealthy ownership in St. John's have expressed an interest in relocating DRFL club Red Star Red Deer to the hallowed grounds of King George V Park! When asked about the pursuit, prospective owner Danny Williams stated "Lord tunderin Jesus! This league, the DRFL, it is truly pathetic, as it is not coast to coast to coast." This is a huge step!

Gopherbashi Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 I'm doing some bug-testing on my program and found a sneaky little time-wasting sequence here by Hamilton to win the match. 89:15 - HAM (0.543299 v 0.929101) SHOT ON TARGET (0.003626 v 0.625343) ON NET (0.309264 v 0.76) GOAL (0.319668 v 0.449307) HAM 1 HFX 0 90:40+ - HFX KICKOFF: 15 yard defensive pass SUCCESSFUL (42 yards ahead of own goal line, 7 yards off-centre far side) 42.106739 7.430852 90:45+ - HFX (0.209954 v 0.65) 7 yard run FOULED (5.845244e-4 v 0.02 + 0.18) (49 yards ahead of own goal line, 8 yards off-centre far side) 49.172547 7.558277 91:50+ - HFX FREE KICK: 4 yard pass SUCCESSFUL (0.95 vs 0.073016) (47 yards ahead of own goal line, 4 yards off-centre far side) 47.298166 3.575723 END OF FULL TIME They managed to take 90 second off the clock after their goal, and another minute with their midfield foul right after the restart of play. I've had the program add a bit more time onto the clock to account for situations like this, but thought it was still pretty cool to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
