FC Cork 2 Shout FC 1

And so our unbeaten start to the season comes to a devastating end away to FC Cork.

As I said before the game it was going to be a war. And indeed that was something it was. I believe that the game descended into chaos and was more a street brawl then a game of football, there is only one person who can be blempt for turning the beautifull game into such a spectical.

The finger of blame must be pointed at the FC Cork management, I have already had a petition for them to be thrown out of the league turned down by the beaurocratic red army at Trophymanager HQ. It was clear to see that from the start FC Cork set about using underhanded tactics to bring the game into disrepute and try and sneak a draw out of it.
Absolutely unacceptable behaviour in my opinion. Something like this with never happen in the fatherland!
The performance from the referee was just as unacceptable, summed up by this line spoken by a commentator on 64 minutes:
"The referee didn't see what happened but handed out a booking anyway - followed by a red card"
and even worse:
"After 77 minutes J. Gahan made a sliding tackle on S. Druery who took a dive. The referee poorly positioned and threw a yellow card at J. Gahan who was sent off."
This appauling decision has cost Shout FC the match in my opinion, it has made us relinquish our top spot and our unbeaten record. Mr Druery should be banned for life for such unexcusable actions, justified only by his own team.

Shout FC did enough to win the game, but our unbeaten record was stolen from us by the referee in charge and the underhanded communist tactics of FC Cork.

Rest assured there will be revenge when the Rebels come to Shout Park, nothing more then a demolishing will tide this wave of anger that has come over me.

With five players out for tonights match against FC Rage it will be a not so easy talk but I would not like to be facing my men tonight, FC Rage will experiance the rath of a wounded animal backed into a corner by the communist red establishment of this league and the corrupt forces that control it.

Absolutely disgusted! The only thing that can cheer me up is this delightfull photograph of a Cat.

Shout FC 2 Chamillitary 0

Following on from our friendly loss to Aussie side Gold Cost Titans, we went back into our league matches with great gusto. Full on frankfurters we set from the start to try and demolish our lowly bottom of the table opponents, Chamillitary FC.

Before the match the men were focused, willing to put their bodies on the line for the sake of our great club.
In the end it was a casual two nothing victory. Eamon Rimmer easily the best player on show setting up both of our goals in Aryan fashion.
Bryan Daniels provided the finish for both goals, taking his tally to 8 for the season. He must have some German in him as I haven't seen someone with such goalscoring prowess since Jurgen Klinsmann.
Still we are top of the league, but Cork FC have stayed up with us, and are just two points behind.
On Friday we will go to WAR with Cork FC, though they have home advantage we will still overcome, home advantage didn't help the French when the German tanks rolled in and nor will it help the so called rebels. Blitzkrieg will be unleashed and my Aryan men will triumph.



Cork have not conceded in their past five games but I believe that is because of the quality of opposition which they have faced, we have the ammunition on the wings with Cordozo and the fire power up front with Daniels and Crowe, we have the engine room with Armstrong and Rimmer and of course we have the defensive might of McGloughlin and Shea standing in front of our men amongst boys goalkeeper Paul "WunderHerr" Hurley.

There will be setbacks on friday, no doubt about it, but as a unit Shout FC will have to stand up and say NEIN! NEIN to the setbacks, NEIN to settling for less then absolute domination!

The Rebels will put up a fight, but just like there countymen they will shy away from War when it is on their doorstep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know I promised you some news about possible half time entertainment in the last posting, but unfortunately there has been no developments in this quest so it shall have to be left for another day and another post.

On the up side I finally got my hands on some Shout FC merchandise when Mal Crowe having read this blog, offered me his matchday jersey as a thank you for letting him play football again, with such a head of blonde hair how could I refuse his jersey.
To Mal I offer my sincere thanks at such a lovely gesture.

Friday will undoubtedly be the biggest challenge of our season to date. Blood, Sweat and Tears will be spilt in the quest for winning of this division and the ultimate aim of promotion to the LOI, rest assured shoutfans, the team will give it one hundred per cent and I, as always, will too give it my all.

Till next time, be proud and sing loud.
fondest regards,
Herr Mann.

Clonsilla Utd 0 Shout FC 1


Another match and another victory. An unconvincing performance but an efficient performance. Germanic in its ways.
The men started off well and after 18 minutes we took the lead through our own Irish international Eamon Rimmer. It was a well taken goal and something that I would hope to see more of from Mr Rimmer. At 21 years of age he is a proven testament that the Shout FC youth system works!
I have aproached the board asking for them to change it from the youth system to the Shout FC youthkorp but this request has been vigourously denied.
You see I want Shout FC to develop into an army, Shout Park will be the homeland, the fatherland. Our opponents are our enemies, and should be treated as such.

Anyway i digress.
After we conceded the goal I felt that our lead was by no way protected, Clonsilla had chances to come level but thankfully Paul Hurley was equal to every one of them.
The game died as a contest when DMC Hammer got sent off for the home side for a second bookable offence and after that they had no real chances to speak of.

Dissappointments for us were that neither of our strikers were performing very well, with Mal Crowe particularly dissappointing. Also our only decent right sided midfielder has been ruled out for three games due to a nasty injury sustained during the match.

I am happy with the result, but not so happy that it wasn't by a few more goals.

Next up we have bottom of the table Chamillitary FC, a team who's form has been reminissent of the French Vichy government.... we of course hope for another three points.
Before that I have scheduled a friendly with the leaders of Australia's division 2.1, an old rival from my international pog playing days, I hope to once again get the better of him, as an old pog saying goes, those with all the pogs does all the cheering, and nothing truer can be said about the beautifull round balled game of Soccer.

Tune in next time as I hope to get the approval from the board to have some very special half time entertainment for the Chamillitary FC match.

Kindest Regards

Shout FC 2 Rathgar Utd 1

Good morning one and all,
Angry Mann here.
Last night I witnessed a football match, a football match full of hope and change, hopes that Shout FC will win and that there will be no change at the top of the divisional table.

I have been gripped by that tanned american Borat Osama. For those not as politically astute as me, President Osama has just been elected to the office of president of America. From his beginnings in mud hut in Africa it has been a great transformation for the man as he has brought about change and has reached the pinnacle in politics.
Why am I saying this you might ask?
Well it was something I was discussing with my players prior to the match with the Gars. I said to them,
"This season we have seen change! We have seen players develop, we have seen players brought in and most of all we have seen a change in our fortunes. We sit top of the table and that is one change that I do not want to be changed again!"
I felt the players responded in a fantastical manner, Sénor Cordozo my argentinan superstar said something that moved me deeply, "Usted idiota alemán! Estoy aquí para el dinero. Hacele para esta conversación de tonterías!"
And although I don't speak a work of Argentinean I felt he summed up the sentimentality's of the squad in an excellent manner.
We went onto the field at Shout Park like a fish into a lake. Surrounded by water and happy. Happy to be alive and happy to breath under the water.
It was a perfect day and perfect conditions to play, dry, bright and warm enough to don the banana hammock.

I felt we had the best of the early figurative exchanges but it was the enemy who took the lead after thirty two minutes.
Thankfully it was but ten minutes when Bryan Daniels equalised netting his sixth goal of the campaign. It was an important time just before the change of half's.

At half time I said nothing. Absolutely nothing. I did not go into the change room but instead chose to buy a t-shirt. I must voice my opinion right now! I am disappointed with the Shout Football Club marketing department. I still receive no clothes embroidered with Shout FC! It was one of the conditions on my arrival but I still receive nothing. But I have grown to love it here and feel I do not want this oversight to get in my way and instead spend my own money on purchasing a lovely tshirt. I am happy!

And even happier when Sénor Cordozo sent an unstoppable header into the goal net to put my team in the lead.
There were scares but at the end of the day I felt my friends deserved to win.
Shout Fc remain top of the Division and afterwards we all celebrated with bratwurst and Bavarian beer!

In other news my Saturday youth draft bore no fruits, I did get a 14 rated player but only a central defender, a place where I feel that I have plenty of youthfull players who can play to a high standard.
Tomorrow night we play Clonsilla United, they are a mid table team who I believe we should beat.
But that remains to be seen.

And so it begins.

I would like to welcome you all to the official Shout FC blog.

Formed in 1681 as a social club for men who like to shout at each other, Shouting Mans club as it was then know turned to football in 1892 shortly after the noshouting act of 1891 was brought into being and enforced ruthlessly. They changed the name of their club to Shout FC and once again they were allowed to Shout at one another, opposing teams, and match officials, all in the name of sport.
They joined the Irish league of trophymanager during the second season of the game.

Shout FC started off well and quickly rose to the top league in Ireland under former manager LT Smash.
During this time they won league 2.1 way back in season five. Since then things didn't quite work out so well and a period of rebuilding followed by relegation ensued.

Last season they narrowly missed relegation out of division two, with only a last minute goal saving the club from the drop.

A change of management, investment into the team and the blossoming of some quality youth have shown Shout FC to be one of the strongest teams in division 2.1

Currently sitting top of the league, and the only team to remain unbeaten, Shout FC definately seem like the team to beat at this early stage in the season.

I will update this blog after every league match and anyother time that I have something of note to write, so please link me and call back regularly.


But for now I shall leave it at that.

Good luck
