Two in a row

Slow first half produce the Rangers lone goal. However, the Madhatters 06 countered with two in the second, making up for their dismal first half performance, Aindow with the tying goal and DeLeon with the go ahead. Not the usual shelling Madhatters 06 fans are accustomed to. Though, I'm sure they'll savor their "most probable, hopefully not" final league victory of the season. With the Madhatters 06 missing two of their star players, winger Masse who is still recovering from an injury he received last week and star defender Puertas who did not suit up for today's encounter, the squads overall performance earlier today was a positive one. 20079 Rangers supporters showed up at Ibrox Park earlier today to watch their home side take on the Madhatters 06. The Madhatters 06 played their usual 4-5-1 formation and used attack on the wings as their match tactic, while the Rangers opted for a 4-4-2 formation with normal tactic. The visitors dominated the match with a 70% ball possession. The match was a very calm event as no players were penalized. The visiting team won the match by a score of 2-1. The scorers were Odell Aindow and Mierko DeLeon. Yvon Denoncourt was the lone Rangers scorer.

Optimistic match

The Madhatters 06 put on a decent performance at the North Bay Trojans 63 arena earlier today by winning their friendly in a decisive fashion. Apart from Adrian Lanus who still has not found his game face, the rest of the squad displayed a great deal of team spirit and cooperation. It seems that the strategy of playing it cool used in the previous match was a blessing in disguise as the Madhatters 06 were able to perform at the top of their game in today's encounter. On another positive note, Winfred Grasel the rookie winger received a moral boost by being named Madhatters 06 MoM (Man of the match). A crowd of 108 braved the rainy weather at the North Bay Trojans63 arena to watch their Trojans 63 host the Madhatters 06.

Bah, humbug

What a day! Just as the order game from above to play it cool for this meaningless match, the Madhatters 06 superstar winger Philippe Emmanuel Masse receives a major injury. The Madhattes 06 medical staff predicts a one to four-week healing period. Incredible today's strategy was to play it cool so as to avoid any cards and or injuries; and speak of the devil! Three yellows and a major injury, I guess the best way to put it is (the law of averages) are completely against us, at least for this match anyway. Then again maybe I shouldn't complain, as there have not been any major injuries up until now. As per the match, not much to hope for, star defender Ivan Sesma sitting out a game suspension, Masse gone late in the second half, playing against a very potent opposition, need I say more? Sadly, our match tactic of attack on the wings did not produce any improvements, I suppose we can blame PIC for that. Oh well as the old saying goes, better luck next time. A crowd of 31123 showed up to greet the favored home side as they hosted the Madhatters 06 for their final encounter of the season.

Madhatters 06 GK Astilla a miracle worker

An impressive second half leaves the Madhatters 06 optimistic in things to come. One of the better played half's by the Madhatters 06 this season, especially for Astillla who performed miracles. Sadly a late penalty shot canceled Astilla's second half shutout. However, the first half was something completely different, letting in three goals, Madhatters 06 seemed to be watching the game instead of playing in it. Unfortunately another disastrous performance by Lanus; will need to improve his match readiness. A crowd of 223 were present at the Polo Grounds earlier today to watch their beloved Madhatters 06 host the visiting Flatin FC. The Madhattters 06 played a 3-5-2 formation opting for a creative play tactic. While the Flatin FC decided to use a 5-4-1 formation with a normal match tactic.

Another blast from the past

With the Madhatters 06 missing their two star players due to match suspensions the Darklords were able to better todays match score from our previous encounter by one. Leaving no room for any positive feedback and likewise anything to complain about that hasn’t already been made into an issue in the previous match commentary. Obviously two penalty shots in the first half did not help the Madhatters 06 cause, but it really didn't have any impact on the outcome of today's match. The only serious setback earlier today was the match suspension that the Madhatters 06 star defender Ivan Sesma received for an accumulation of yellow cards. 5904 supporters showed up at the Polo Grounds earlier today to watch the home side take on the Darklords. The Madhatters 06 played their usual 4-5-1 formation with attack in the middle as their match tactic, while the Darklords opted to play a 3-5-2 formation with normal tactic. The Darklords dominated the match with an 85% ball possession. Penalized players for the Madhatters 06 were Tom Sedduoqui who received a yellow for a rough tackle and Ivan Sesma who also received a yellow for dangerous play, while the Darklords recipients were Nestor Latulippe for a dangerous diving tackle and Kornelius Areggor for holding. The Darklords won the match by a score of 9-0. The scorers were Nestor Latulippe with (2), Shaheen Ulathah with a hattrick (3), Richard Driver, Mathieu Dufour, Frank Quintero, and Louis Dechenes.

54% match domination, not enough

Not bad 18 matches played and an amazing five goals in total. Interesting match earlier today, Madhatters 06 dominated, sadly were not able to produce any concrete results. Astilla desperately trying to keep the home side in the game made two awesome although identical saves during the match. Sadly Lanus still needs to improve on his game; he does not seem to be performing up to his potential during matches. Overall, an OK match for the Madhatters 06. A bewildered crowd of 183 made a heroic effort earlier today by venturing to the Polo Grounds to watch a friendly between their Madhatters 06 and FC Linkosuo. Madhatters 06 played their usual 3-5-2 formation with creative play as their match tactic. The FC Linkosuo also opted to use the 3-5-2 formation but chose attack on wings as their match tactic. The Madhatters 06 dominated the match with a 54% ball possession. Yellow cards were rewarded to the Madhatters 06 Kolnierzak and Moran for nasty challenges.

The bleeding continues

Doctor's advice, let it bleed until the poison has seeped out completely. Well, it's at the half way mark of the season and the Madhatters 06 have been bleeding since the start; we're bone dry at the moment. Furthermore, due to a red card recieved early in the today's match we were forced to play a team five times our superior with only ten men. I guess it's to properly experience the massacring effect. What's really great is that we get to do this all over again this upcoming weekend. It's tough to explain how a team is an overachiever one season and the complete opposite the next. Oh well, enough wining for the moment…Except for the fact that we did didley squat in our counter attacking today, and that the Darklords veteran Shaheen Ulathah netted five for good measure. A crowd of 39673 made it to the Darklords Arena to witness a home side trouncing of the visiting Madhatters 06. The Madhatters 06 played their usual 4-5-1 formation with counter attack as their match tactic. The Darklords opted for the 3-5-2 formation with normal match tactic. The Darklords dominated the match with 92% ball possession. The Madhatters 06 were the only penalized squad in today's match. Mierko deLeon earned a red through two yellows, one for a rough tackle and the other un-sportsman-like conduct while Miquel Angel Puertas received the other yellow, also for un-sportsman-like behavior. The Darklords won the match by a decisive score of 8-0. The Madhatters 06 star of the game was Phillippe Emmanuel Masse, who played a swell match. The Darklords scorers were, non-other than Shaheen Ulathah with five, Nestor Latulippe with two and Louis Deschenes with one.
