Season Review

Greetings loyal supporters of Shout FC.

The first season back in the LOI was an exciting one. So much so that I did not retain the ability to update this blogatron, and for that I apologise.

The work rate at the top is an awful lot higher then in the pits of division two.

The season as not to go without its drama, as countless refereeing decisions went against us as the powers of the Bolshevik left conspired against me!

At the start of the season the Shout men had the simple task of securing safety in the LOI as soon as possible! If there is one thing that I have learnt from the history of my country it is to not invade Russia in the wintertime.... I mean it is to not be overly aggressive in ones nature, there are times to be aggressive and times to be defensive and for a newly promoted team it is a time to be defensive to secure status as a premier footballing club.

Thankfully we started off decently with eight points from our first five matches.

We were mid table and doing fine, some of the players were finding it hard to adjust to the higher level of football but coping with it fine.

Some however did show incompetence with the way in which they dealt with the new challenges ahead, and thus they had to leave the club. 

Kevin Flood left the club after repeatedly turning up drunk at training! One of two pickmeup's afterwards I do not mind but before and during training is just not to be tolerated!

There was another player on the team, who I do not care to speak of, was banished for another reason. At a  celebratory gathering of the side, to which he was a valued member at the time, this communist pig took advantage of Frau Mann, first by greasing her up with some alcohol and then by using his communist mind games to entice her to do vile acts. Thankfully Rosle Ali Baba Maktoum Allah Bin Mahammod Nor stumbled upon his antics in an upstairs bedroom and duly apprehended the pig. Although Rosle wanted to have Frau Mann decapitated for this near adulterous scene, I showed him the error of his ways and convinced him that it was the pig in question that was the one to be punished.

In the end I did what any German patriot would do and I sent him to Poland.

 Throughout the season we were not once in the relegation zone. And always had the chance of pushing for a high top half finish.

And it was this that was what we eventual did do! Finishing in fourth with an epic final day of the season confrontation.

Unfortunately the team finishing in third, the Shamrock Hoops lost in the final of the Cup meaning that our destiny of European football is to wait for another season. Needless to say I have lodged a formal complaint against both Shamrock Hoops and Serenity City as I feel that match fixing almost certainly occurred, robbing Shout FC of European glory.

So fourth position and a good cup run has left us in good stay for next season. The NT sales should bring one or two faces to Shout park and further expansion of the stadium and facilities is to be expected. Next season we will do the same, bringing efficient and stylish Germanic football to Shout park. We will push on for glory and once again there will be some proper silverware lining the halls of our illustrious domain.

Kindest Regards

                Herr Mann

P.S. After the debacle with the communist pig I have ensured that Frau Mann shall no longer be recognised as such (after this piece has been completed of course), therefore I am looking for a new Frau man and as such have enclosed a picture for any eligible bacheloresses. You can send your photos to the club.
