APL Cup - Quarter Finals (Leg 2)

[CrowsFan]

Here is a progress check of all the teams with just the one match left to play...

QF1
(85) The Brown Trumpets 44 vs 31 KKS United (81)
The Brown Trumpets have no players left to play and so will finish on 44 (aggregate score of 85). KKS United have just the one player left and that is Gareth McAuley. For KKS United to progress they need McAuley to score 5 points or more. A clean sheet for West Brom would do that, so going to be a very tight finish to this game!

QF2
(67) Blue Mountain State 34 vs 29 YNWA Warriors (66)
Could this game be any closer? Both teams with just 1 player left and BMS holding a 1 point lead at the moment. For BMS they have striker Ricky Lambert left to play, whilst for YNWA Warriors they have new recruit Zoltan Gera ready to play. There are a couple of ways this game can play out...
• If both players score the same then BMS will progress.
• If Gera scores one point more than Lambert, but scores 4 or less then BMS will progress
• If Gera scores one point more than Lambert, and scores 5 or more then YNWA progress
• If Gera scores 2 or more points more than Lambert then YNWA progress.

In for a very exciting finish here!

QF3
(49) Scaling Saints 16 vs 16 The Flippin' Pancakes (50)
Another extremely close game where the aggregate margin is just the 1 point. However big problems for The Flippin' Pancakes who are out of players, UNLESS Gaston Ramirez can make a return from injury and play tonight. Scaling Saints on the other hand have got goalkeeper Ben Foster and captain James Morison left to play so the ball is certainly in their court! Assuming Ramirez does start the game, Scaling Saints will needs Foster and Morison to score just 1 point more than Ramirez to progress (assuming their total score is still under 33). If he doesn't play then Scaling Saints need just one solitary point between the two players to win the tie. The Saints should be feeling pretty comfortable right about now!

QF4
(73) The Casserole Kids 33 vs 67 Goodfellas (117)
This game is over. Neither teams have players left, which means Goodfellas becomes the first team to move in to the semi finals of the Cup. Very convincing winners here!

Woweeee 67, couldn't be prouder of my boys the last three weeks. Looks like all other games are going down to the wire.

[CrowsFan]

Yeah it's amazing how close the other 3 games are! :o

[My Chumps]

I'd be winning against four other teams!  :(


Too good Jukesy.

[CrowsFan]

Yeah but losing against 3 of the other teams, so you're pretty much right in the centre. I'd be more annoyed if I was the loser between DG and koop/spin since they would beat 5 of the other teams, but only lose to 2 of them...

[elephants]

Hahahaha c'mon Ramirez! Off the bench and slot in three goals and a few BP.

I'm screwed but...

The league is the REAL competition anyway  :P

[elephants]

[Vicious Sandwhich Attack]

The list management commitee at YNWA Warriors are in for a sleeples night!!

I will also point out CF that Lambert is in my league team, unfortunately I have a vested interest in him doing well....maybe Gera can withdraw from this game, Lambert can provide a couple of assists for Lallana to goal twice....I can't possible be that lucky!  ;D

[BoredSaint]

Why did Morison not play.... At least foster got a clean sheet

[elephants]

Noooooooooooooo!!

Top of the league but out of the cup.. On the brightside, at least we get Terry, Gibbs, Reina and Ramirez back this week!
