After many problems with blogger, and in an effort to make things a little simpler for myself, I have decided to move the blog to "wordpress.com". Its new URL is: http://tullig.wordpress.comEverything that was here at tullig.blogspot.com is now also at tullig.wordpress.com.I will not be posting anything new to this old blog, so please use the new one ... and change your bookmarks too

Blackburn 0 - 4 Aston Villa from game last night. (I didn't even know it was on myself). And there ar2 2 late assist points from the weekend for Stevie Gerrard included here too (Don, alas you were probably right when you were totting up your scores). Sonya was the big mover here with Garth Barry scoring form the spot, to add to a clean sheet also. Oh me of little faith in him any more! And Pat

These scores are after Monday nights game. They look like they're the final scores for the weekend.Don and the Magicians temporarily held second and third spots respectively over Sunday night, but the performance of Alexander Hleb (10 points) has pushed Shaybee and Sonya back into their rightful(?) positions again, though Shaybee has passed out Sonya into second spot, albeit by a couple of

Now that most of the transfers have been made, we can see the effects of what a good transfer policy can do for you. Ola is getting stronger every week and it's the third week in a row that she has topped the weekly scores with a massive 53 points. Quite and achievement for a team that was languishing in obscurity only six weeks ago, with an air of resignation over the whole team, and seasoned

I was wondering how things would have fared if we had not made any transfers this week, so before I change the teams, here are the scores as they would have been. Sonya would have been going great guns again, and would be looking to take out Pat Murphy in the next few weeks ... but that's the way it goes ... I'll have the new changes up soon enough. 05/11/07 Team Name Total

Pat Murphy, the winner of the first Inter-Transfer competition is seen above accepting his prize from the league sponsors. He commented afterwards: "We knew we had quality and strength in-depth in the team. We were fortunate to stay relatively injury free throughout the campaign, but we feel we still need to strengthen the team because there are a few weaknesses, and there is so much competition

These are the updates to the scores after the assists and other points have been added to the players. They are the final scores for the first Inter-Transfer Competition. Congratulations to Pat Murphy who has stolen the show with some superb performances halfway through the competition, and held onto the lead since he snatched it on October 7th. Two other teams that had held pole position are

It's been a storming weekend for the girls. They've showed the lads up no end with some sublime footwork both on the football pitch and on the dance floor!

Some of ye have already been asking about the timing of the second transfer window, concerned about the availability of players that are departing for the African Nations Cup 2008 (Jan 20th - Feb 10th).Transfer Window #2 will be from Jan 3rd to Jan 12th (12pm) 2008So basically you don't have to get rid of your african players this transfer window unless you really want to ... but I would clear

Last pre-wedding game of golf played in Macroom today. Good craic, a lovely day, few people on the course so no pressure. What more do you want? I was instructed to put some photo's up, so here we go. Will the driving ever be the same again?Concern was voiced that Der may never be let out for golf again ... but Shay cocked up and said that coming from a sporting family like his, there was nothing

I just noticed that the four Golden brothers are strutting their stuff at the bottom of the table, occupying positions from fifth last to second last. Now for a sporting family, you'd think they'd know a thing or two about a round ball, but surely they didn't get their sporting instincts from their father who is lording in the top half of the table. Maybe we should set up a mini league for them!

As I said before, the transfer window is open from October 28th until November 3rd 12:30pm. as usual to change your team, you can either send me a text, email, slip of paper, phone me, comment on this blog. But get your changes in ... and well, you can change the team before the transfer window too if you will be away (der & mairead). Sensible rules as usual apply ... as from the start http://

We're back in action again after a long two week international break, where things could have not gone much worse for the poor Republic. Even at this stage the bloody FAI can't make up their minds about whether to keep him or not. I suppose they're getting him for cheap, so those lads who want to line their pockets with as much money as possible aren't willing to cough up and pay whatever it

It's been all change this week as teams move up and down the table with alarming regularity!We have a fresh new leader this week again. Pat Murphy's team have leapfrogged from third into first place, by a point only to hold the hot plate that is top spot. It's like nobody wants to be up there ... a bit like that crazy cycle race on tracks where it's better to be in second place until the last

For a change from the usual Leaderboard and scores, here's some of the more respectable photo's from DerG's stag last Saturday night (That makes a change from just showing bad photo's I usually show I hear you say!) So there's nine of the 14 team managers below. Oh, we're an ugly bunch, but then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and there ain't too many of us left now, and god loves a

It's always tough at the top, and so it seems in our mini league at the moment. Still in the lead for the second week in a row, but only just barely it must be said are the team managed by Don. They had a disappointing week by their own high standards, with two goals, and a couple of assists, but it left the door open for the chasing pack to come within a whisker of overtaking them. More

Of course there's another match tonight, but i'll post the scores for the moment.The less said about my team the better. AAAAGGGGHHHHHH! The real contenders are showing their true colours now.

The second weekend of our fantasy football game showed up some movers and shakers already in the game. Don, who had a year of frustration last year, after a woeful start has started with one foot forward this year. Indeed, if i hadn't known better i'd say that he's trying to pull a fast one, but we'll leave him alone ... for now. He's already a clear six points ahead of Seamus in second place (

The same as last year ... but there might be a few rule changes!I've held back the start date in order to give people a chance to see what players are actually playing on their teams, so everyone can pick a half decent team.The rules will be based on the YouTheManager site we will

Only one week to go now and most teams have only two games left. At this stage it's a bit of a lottery. Most of the major positions have been sorted out and with United (FA Cup Final), Chelsea (FA Cup Final), Liverpool (Champions League Final) with big games coming up it's likely that they will be resting lots of their first team players and looking to the up and coming stars for next year.

It's been another fairly pathetic week for most teams, with only Eddies Gunners and Don's Deadlies showing any true form, but it doesn't matter to them as it looks like they're destined for midtable obscurity at this late stage of the season. Although they still have a chance with the final inter-transfer window.Der's Mighty Men have stretched their lead on top by six points, to go thirteen clear

I've just found more administrative cock-ups ... on Donal Murphy's team again this time!!! Again the error occured when entering in the transfer data. It all now seems very clear: I remember the "Sidwell for Ronaldo" at the bottom throwing me, because he never had Ronaldo on his team. This was at the same time as "The Arteta Affair" was raising its ugly head.So I have used a matter of deduction,

There has been some controversary as to how Donal Murphy's charges have been catapulted to the top of the table. The picture on the left shows his original team from DJ's copybook which comtained all the teams. (Copybook probably stolen from some poor unfortunate child). Anyway, when my secretary was entering in the teams, he mistakenly used Arca instead of Arteta. In his defence, Arteta is

It's been a while since i've commented on anything on this site. unfortunately, i've been rather busy here on the farm. There has been some consternation in the last few weeks that Donal Murphy has been propelled to the top of the leaderboard because of an administrative error back in November. I'll have proof here in the next few days .... although there are still some calls for a

Der Golden received his prize-money last night for winning our inter-transfer competition with his team"Der's Mighty Men". Wearing his club kit he was presented with his €20 prize by yours truly, but he has his eyes focused on the €80 prize as overall winner. With 10 games to go and 36 points clear of second, you would be a brave person to bet against him taking that title too.If you start to see

Der Golden wins the inter transfer competition this week and also stretches his lead on top of the main leaderboard to thirty four points. You'd have to wonder if he's catchable at this stage due to his outstanding form. However form is a fickle thing and can be gone next week, and with the last transfer window open who knows who is going to surge out of the pack and have the proverbial

The inter transfer competition from Jan 5 to march 19 has finished. After a long struggle and some tooing and froing and appealing, Der's Mighty Men have solidified their place as top dogs in this competition by pulling away from all pretenders on the last weekend to set himself up for top prize. I wouldn't begrudge it of him because he thought he'd won it two weeks ago because of my incompetence

In the video below, look at what causes most of the trouble. David navarro (a sub) throws a sly dig to the face of Burdisso, breaking his nose.... then all hell breaks loose after that (There's a good angle of the punch with about 10 seconds to go in the video). Good job for him that he can run quick otherwise he'd have been totally clobbered. Expect lots of punishment for players and

I'm going to be killed! I just realized as i got the dates of the transfer window incorrect. After declaring Dermot the winner, I have to backtrack. there's still twelve games to be played.Phew!! Just got off the phone to Der and he seems to be okay with it. He probably won't sleep for the night with the shock though.Of course everyone else is going to be delighted.

** Update (5/Mar): Stop Stop Stop. The transfer window isn't for another two weeks. So we had a bit of a false stop. sorry for confusing everyone. See the more recent posts for details.In the end it was mighty close. Don's Deadlies charging down the rails in the last furlong only to fall short by a nose. But Congrats must go to Der's mighty men on an outstanding consistant performance throughout

It's that time of year when the final straight is in sight. This weekend everyone got roughly the same score, and there was some minor swapping of places down the pecking order.Benni McCarthy was the man of the moment this week with his two penalties. The teams that have him all scored in the high 30s. In effect he was the difference between a good week and an average one.Pat G lost ground on all

Well, the saturday games are over and it looks like it's all down to one game on tomorrow (Sunday) to give us our result for definite. There are a number of permutations that can whip the leaders position away from Dermot G. These are:campo scoring once (or maybe twice)(patG) and benni mc not scoring.gary speed scoring 3 penalties (shaybee)Benni McCarthy scoring 8 and Campo scoring twice (mike C

This is a proper look at who is winning the Inter - Transfer race. There's only one set of games before the next transfer window. I feel it's going to be a close run thing. Last time out, Pat Golden came from nowhere in the last 2 weeks to steal victory from the grasp of Der's Mighty Men. They're on top again going into the final week and i think he could once again snatch defeat from the jaws of

While i was on the topic of old photo's, I remembered this little gem which i pulled from my archive. Some may have seen it before and forgotten it, but it's well worth another view. It's a little more recent than the the previous pictures, but I do think it's a big transformation from from desperado to playboy.The reason i have been showing these pictures is that there haven't been many games of

To add to that dodgy photo that appeared a few days ago, due to popular demand (and I guess some trepidation) our local historian has unearthed another dodgy photo from that night many many eons ago. Can you identify this desperado ... or do you know any of his descendants?But remember the old saying ... "Never stray from the path, never eat a windfall apple and never trust a man whose eyebrows

A defenders nightmare this weekend as most teams leaked a few goals, and without many goals for most or our teams either. Shaybee ended his recent poor form with a stunning 40 points, to move well away from the relegation zone. Drogba, Speed, Johnson, Vidic and Evra all doing well for him.Eddie's Gunners, Donal's Losers, Don's Deadlies and Mairead's Sexy Men all had a poor week loosing ground on

Pat's Pricks have stormed into third place this week and into the prize-money, as the produce an excellent week after some recent indifferent form, since their antics over Christmas. They now only have thirty points to make up to get into second spot. As we've seen in the recent past, that can be done in two weeks easily. Der's Mighty Men had a good week, but his closest rivals all had better

Der Golden has begun to resurrect himself again with a mighty 48 points, as pretender to the crown Donal Murphy slips on some banana's this week!It appears that Der is trying to call in the bookies at this stage and get his money in advance.

There was one match last Tuesday night. Watford V Blackburn. There was only one player playing that was of any interest to our mini league. Benedict McCarthy, and he scored a goal just before he was taken off, so he gets 6 points for Der's Mighty Men, Cash's Cruisers, Don's Deadlies. But what it really means is that the top three teams stretch a little further away from the rest of the teams, but

One word for everyone scores this week .... "putrid".It seems like being on top of the table is like a poisoned chalice. First Donal's Losers were steaming away in front. They have now managed to tumble to fifth and there seems to be no hope of a resurrection. Then the Cruisers clocked up a massive forty point lead. Now they're clinging onto second place by the skin of their teeth, as Donal

I hope you're all feeling optimistic for the latter half of the season, and that the bad form of the last few months is a thing of the past.Christmas has been hectic for all our premiership players, and it's hard to keep track of all the happenings.

What a difference Christmas week has made.We have a new leader. Der's Mighty men have pushed their noses out in front with a spectacular display from Linvoy Primus who netted two goals for Portsmouth (his first in 2 years ... this is becoming a habit for the Mighty men), and a steady few points from all the players. We'll wait to see if he suffers the same fate asBut the big surprise for the week

It's neck and neck at the top of the pile this week. Big scoring on top of the table and amazingly they have the same total for the week. It could have been so different with Nigel Reo-Coker's goal which sank Man Utd, making a 10 point swing in in favour of Der's Mighty Men (Vidic losing 4 points and Reo-Coker gaining 6) .Top team for the week were Donal C's Losers who has surger back up into a

It's been another great week for Der's Mighty Men. They have gained 15 points on the leaders and are now only thirteen points off the top, and they have taken the lead in the inter-transfer competition by a solitary point. They have to be happy with their performance which was inspired by a solid defensive performance, especially Jamie Carragher who scored his first goal for Liverpool in SEVEN

It was a weekend to catch up with the leader. With only 6 players mainly because Chelsea were not playing this weekend, the Cruisers are bottom of the weekly totals with only 16 points. However, their position at the top is safe as the following pack didn't excel this weekend either. Donal Murphy's team were the main movers this weekend with 37 points, leapfrogging over Shaybee's team and setting

Six midweek games played on Wednesday, and Arsenal loosing again there's a lot of disappointed defenders going around.The Cruisers have stretched their lead on top from their three closest rivals, and are also heading out the inter-transfer competition.Even though they scored only 13 points, the Donal's Loser team have passed Eddie's gunners who were diabolical with just 8 points.Shaybee's have

It's been another interesting weekend of games with the result of the Man Utd V Chelsea game having a big bearing on the defences. Defenders picking up points were a rare commodity this weekend, with only Reading, Liverpool, Newcastle and West Ham keeping clean sheets. Most had a few players pick up a few points here and there with a goal or an assist, so it's been a tight weekends action.

DJ has gone and fixed his team so it no longer costs £61m (cheating tactics), but now costs £60m. Has has made his seventh switch: the popular Ivan Campo for Michael Dawson. Both players scored only one point last week, so there's no advantage to him in the change (neither are bound to score much for the rest of the season).So, all is forgiven .... or so he thinks. (i'm still taking ideas on the

Guess the young lad with the dodgy singing voice. He's good at barking out orders now ... to refs and umpires :)

Now that our first transfer window has passed, we find ourselves with a problem. DJ (one of the organizers) has entered a team worth £61m, which is over the budget. This was of course only copped last night (Sunday). I think he needs to go back to the other side of the teachers desk and redo that course on addition. (Of course it can be considered as a course day ... so he'll get paid for it !!)

The first transfer window is over for most, and how has your new team fared? On a week of low points for the players that appear on lots of teams, team points were generally low for everyone.The Cruisers on top have stretched their lead, with Barton and Kanu adding 18 points between them, and the defense contributing handsomely too.Former leaders, the Loser team have lost ground on the leaders

On a week of movers, shakers and high scores, we have a new leader coming into the first transfer window. Cash's Cruisers have just nudged past Donal Cashman's Loser Team (who have been on top since the start). Der's mighty men hung in there in third, but the big surprise is the rise and rise of Eddie's gunners in fourth. Two weeks ago they were 28 points off the top spot, now they're just 13 ...

To make things more interesting for people further down the leader-board, there will be a small competition for the team with the best total from the upcoming transfer window until the next one in January.So essentially, the main competition (lasting the full season) will go ahead as normal, and in this new competition everyone will start at zero points from the 18th November, and the competition

There has been some whining as to the original setup of the Fantasy Football that did not allow transfers (which is fair enough if you only have 7-8 players playing every week (i don't need to mention names ...... Don and DJ), so we've decided to allow transfers during three transfer windows (The same as the Mirror version of the game)Transfer Window 1: 13th - 18th November (12pm)Transfer Window
