League 3 - 2008-09

8th - 24th


Only @WR and @SilentWitness failed to fight for the playoffs but they were never at risk of relegation.




Playoffs

@BenitoSTARR and @Big Andy qualified for the playoffs


The Champion and Stats

@Vidyoyo are the new League 3 champions! @Skizzo is also promoted to League 2!











Playoff SF

This was painful for @Big Andy, smashed at home by @BenitoSTARR



Would we see a miracle in the 2nd leg?

Nope, @BenitoSTARR is the playoff final!


Playoff Final

@BenitoSTARR crushed Huddersfield and are promoted to League 2!

@Siorac and @P-Nut were so so close to the playoffs...

@Ian Reus is always complaining about the playoffs so they decided to miss out this time.

@pacifictheme @youngrell @PSV @LARulz




Playoffs


The Champion and Stats

No caf team could finish ahead of the mighty Bradford who are the new League 2 champions. @17 Van der Gouw finished 2nd and is promoted to League 1












Playoff SF

@Šjor Bepo beat Aston Villa at home in the 1st leg



And got an away draw to qualify to the final!



@paulscholes18 beat @whitbyviking at home, even with 10 men




@whitbyviking turned it around at home and smashed @paulscholes18 to qualify to the final


Playoff Final

@whitbyviking beat @Šjor Bepo in a match with a dramatic ending in extra time



We had punches and everything! Wilkinson screwed up and might have cost @Šjor Bepo the promotion

So we missed out on the playoffs on goal difference? :mad:

Oh well. Might have been too early anyway. We just got promoted after all.

Jesus Christ on a Bike. Back to back promotions and not a @Big Andy in sight.

Muslimovic and Pletikosa were right signings there :D

I need to lay down I think, that’s far too much excitement for me today

thought after the playoff heartbreak last season we’d be throwing in the towel for a while, but Ian Armstrong leads us up! Hope we reinforce a bit over the summer:nervous:

Wait, what? :eek: We won the playoffs? That's unpossible.
Did @Hephaestus do a very non @Hephaestus thing there and actually win the playoffs?
It's a miracle. :eek:
First player to get to the prem using only academy players as well.
:lol:
:eek:

That's not too bad at all seeing as we sold some of our best players and bought absolutely feckin nobody. The board need to get the cheque book out now. I've no idea what they're waiting for. We must have a billion in the bank now. It's a crying shame as the manager's been playing a blinder.

I Big Andy’d it in the playoffs again. Starting to think I’ll never get out of this league.

thanks @maniak for this again. I do enjoy the abject disappointment, and now it’s longer between crashing blows as well so I can really stretch it out.

What was the commentary when two @Hephaestus players got injured at the same time? :lol:

Wow!!!! That’s the biggest shock I’ve had since this experiment started. After the massive disappointment of last season, I wasn’t expecting anything at all this season. Cue my utter bemusement when I wasn’t in the first two spoilers. Thought I’d missed an update and been relegated.

Top work still @maniak. It’s much appreciated and I actually quite like this full season update in one go.

Onwards and upwards. UTFMKSK

I checked bad sadly it wasn't anything comical, one player was tackled and an unrelated player twisted his ankle in the same minute. I was expecting a circus number with two players bumping into each other, but no such luck.

Can't wait to smash the Premier league up. All this from that massive spending spree when we were languishing at the bottom of league one last season. Very pleased with Optimised FC.

@maniak love this thread and everything you do. So much fun reading it all

That's anticlimatic, I'd also assumed that it was a mid-air collision or something. Guess it was just fate so the hero that is Titus Bramble could come on and win it for his boyhood team.

A season of consolidation after promotion is fine, but I expect is to push further next season.
