Rajah FC: Rebirth

[Grimario]

18th October 2020 - Serie C


Another goal of the month contender from @TraXX and a neatly headed goal from @HHHnFoley_Rulez saw AC Rajah sneak past Renate to make it a perfect 15 point start to the season.


Without the Log up front to play the link man, Inter Rajah struggled to put together quality chances and were not able to take anything from a trip to Cesena, starting the season 4 from 5.


Despite HB's absence, stand in keeper B. Young was barely tested as Vice-Captain Captain netted another goal, taking his season tally to 5 in 4. Rajventus remain undefeated with 4 wins from 4.



More tonight.

[Kneeneighbor]

Good stuff. And a hat trick for Huckleberry. Love it.

[TraXX]

I'd like to think that the media refers to the TraXX/Rosk midfield partnership as "Blood and Thunder".

[HHHnFoley_Rulez]

A goal and still have 7.1 rating? I must have had a stinker beyond that.

[Grimario]

We're back!

A goal and still have 7.1 rating? I must have had a stinker beyond that.

No interceptions, one tackle, only one from eight headers won... but that's really not that bad. Maybe it was the dominance in heading that was your downfall?

[Grimario]

I remember why @Alex is wrong and having more squad depth of Rajah posters in a squad is a good thing.

Nearly everyone is dead from fatigue just a month into the season. Anyone that was called up for international duty has played weekend and mid week games for 6 weeks. Half a dozen of the players in each squad are tired and in need of a rest status.

[Grimario]

21st/22nd October - Serie C


A lovely tap in from Dave Smith was the only real highlight of AC Rajah's 1-0 victory over Novara. @King Diamond has suffered a pulled calf muscle and will miss 2-3 weeks of action.


In a dominant performance, Inter Rajah played Ravenna off the park but, with The Log absent, were wasteful in front of goals. Random Rajah Regen guy scored the winner in the 1-0 result.


With Vice Captain Captain hobbled off with ankle ligament damage (2 weeks out), it was the left back that came to Rajventus' rescue. Percussion was instrumental in the turnaround after the side went down early but rallied back to win 2-1.


Love a good play on words.

[Grimario]

Injury News (this might be the last one - may have to heal everyone once a month)

AC Rajah
Mazer (bruised knee) and King Diamond (pulled calf) are the only injury concerns at the moment with the latter definitely missing the next few fixtures. Striker will be assessed right up to kick off time.

Inter Rajah
@Gary J has succumbed to a "training injury" as a result of "over stretching". He is suffering from a double hernia and will be out for 5-6 weeks. Close sources suggest he may have tried to self fellate.
The Log is also likely to miss a game or two with his hamstring issue limiting his verticality.

Rajventus
Honey Badger (broken wrist) is definitely out and will be joined on the sidelines by Vice Captain Captain (pulled ankle ligaments). Rip McRipper is questionable after bruising an ankle in training.

Sorry bro. My bad.

Maybe give my guy a weekend off? I see I've just put in my first quiet performance.

[Grimario]

If I was the manager, I would stick you in reserves for a month.

[MMH]

Nice to see I am banging hat tricks in when I am not getting 6.8 out of 10.

[Grimario]

Oh look...



MMH pulled out another average performance, 6.7 out of 10. Mazer overcame a bruised knee to lead the side to victory.


@BGMaverick tapped in after his centre back partner, Mr Nobody, headed onto the post, for the only goal of the game.


@son_of_foley nodded home from a corner to get Rajventus up before Random Regen sealed the victory.

[MMH]

That's OK, I only step up when I have to.

[TimeSplitter]

Pretty solid outings for the most part with Splitter as the GK.

[JP]

Scores tap ins and headers, has high numbers when not scoring. Dreamland.

Im very proud

[Caito]

Not scoring as many goals as I should be.


Need to have a long look in the mirror

[Torn]

Even random regen is a better leader than Huckleberry Andrews.

Not that it's hard.

Score 3 in a game and get back to me.

[Grimario]

That's mostly from you getting 20 defensive headers per game

[HHHnFoley_Rulez]

Anyone can head a ball - but can you take it and then dribble 70 yards down the pitch with it.

On a rainy night in Stoke.

[Badger]

@Grimario can we get a running goal scored tally on all the players please? I know I’ve not score many as not my primary job but would be nice to look at? Hoping to be the best penalty scorer as not missed one so far.

Sure. Have many stats.

[Grimario]

https://www.twitch.tv/grimario

Going to have it on in between meetings if people want to drop in for a watch/chat.

[Grimario]

I am also going to start healing everyone before and after games. Injuries are washed clean, everyone will be fit to play all the time. That means Internationals should just be a call up based on who is best, not who isn't injured.

[Badger]

Sure. Have many stats.

I’m going to look through but think I’ve got more than 2.

[Grimario]

I’m going to look through but think I’ve got more than 2.

Wow, calling the game runner a liar?

That's going to do well for your career.

[Grimario]

I’m going to look through but think I’ve got more than 2.

I have reviewed and you are correct but also wrong.
Other penalties were in a friendly or during a shoot out, so not "goals" against your record.

[Badger]

I was thinking overall and didn’t realise you were excluding friendlies or shoot-outs in those stats so I humbly apologise.

Homer Simpson: “My first day/season!”

Italian Cup Qualifying - Third Round



Despite going behind early, a master class in big lump football by @JP lead AC Rajah to a 5-2 victory. They will face Pescara in the next round.


Serie C


Despite having the magic spray clear up all injuries, a full strength Rajventus squad proved to be wasteful as they dominated Potenza with 64% of the ball and 10 more shots on goal but could only take a point.

29th October

Serie C


In a dominant display, @Beefy showed who the real big man in Rajah was, muscling his way to two headed goals and a left foot strike to complete his hat trick. @wardy also scored a screamer from 20 yards out, volleying a worm burner into the bottom corner.

[Badger]

Another yellow card but my highest game score rating yet so I’ll eat it. Built the guy to hack but he knows not to do it twice in a game!

Btw who is Log cos he’s bloody excellent!

Serie C


Leading from the back, Captain @McIntyrenReigns_Rulez opened the scoring from the spot before AC Rajah ran out comfortable 3-0 winners.


With contributions from midfield and another two goals from @Caito, Inter Rajah ran rampant away at Fermana FC.

[Caito]

Knew I was good.

[Badger]

@Caito looked at himself in the mirror hard. He found himself and am glad for it!

[Badger]

Our squad kicks ass. Let’s hope we keep this up!

[Grimario]

International Call ups

The senior team will play North Macedonia in a friendly before taking on the might of San Marino and Liechtenstein in their final European League Div D Group 2 fixtures. A victory or draw against San Marino will see Rajahstan promoted to Division C for next season.



Everyone else (except HFR who was injured so missed out) has been called up to the U21 side for their final Euro U21 qualifier and a friendly against Serbia. Rajahstan U21's are without hope of qualification, 9 points adrift of top placed Italy.

4th November, 2020

Serie C


A classy display from @The Rosk saw the midfielder get his first and second goals for AC Rajah, leading the side to their 9th victory of the season.


When does 4 goals not get you man of the match? Well, when @Gary J gets 5 assists. Sorry @Caito. Perugia, one of the early favourites for promotion, were humbled in this 7-1 destruction.


Former Serie A heavyweights, were completely outplayed with @Matthew picking up his first senior goal.

[Grimario]

It was a case of Enter Logman as Beefy braced against Matelica.

@Mazer went on a rampage, taking his season total to 14, as he bagged 5 goals in a perfect 10 outting.
Sorry Mazer, game crashed and your perfect 10 was after the last save.

European U21 Championship Qualifier



Simon. Captain and Vice Captain, Captain, added 3 between them as Rahah U21's finished 4th in qualification, well behind Italy and Poland who progress to the next round.

[Pablo Diablo]

U21 needed me and Alex from the beginning.

[Jarrod1983]

I don't feel like Mav is earning all that money you said he was getting paid Grim.

How's his defense play?

[Grimario]

64% headers won, 83% tackle completion. Kind of haven't been bad, just not spectacular.

Jeez, kid needs a pep talk.

Maybe if his dad came to watch him play, he might be more up for it.

Just holler for your team. I can only watch one team because most of the games are the same time and I go through every few weeks and make sure I am attending every fixture I can because sometimes they get moved due to Cup runs or international call ups or whatever.

Striker did some striking and Diamond was a bit rough, picking up a goal and a yellow.

@Caito ran rampant, taking his league tally to 12 from 12.



Captain and the Captain scored one goal apiece to sneak across the line against Carmine Setola.

[Jitters]

Can I just say that yellow was the wrong call.

Well at least I got a bit of rest over the international period of games

[Kneeneighbor]

Dumb question but in soccer anyone can take the penalty kick? Not just the guy who was taken down?

[Pablo Diablo]

Yup. Most teams have a specific penalty taker.

A goalkeeper can even take the penalty.

[Grimario]

who the fuck let me take the pen? horrible leadership there.

Oddly enough, the game has made you the 8th best penalty taker in Rajahstan. In this instant, 4 who are better were in the U21 squad instead and the other 3 had been subbed off. So you were the actual best choice.


I really hope we never have to go to a shoot out... only one player has penality taking above 13.

Absolute scenes as AC Rajah are the first ever Rajahstanian team to qualify for the Italian Cup proper. @TimeSplitter even popped up with a delightful assist for @Mazer to score the equaliser before the side carried that momentum to victory.

Captain Andrews relished the role of lone striker, bagging three, as Vice Captain Captain returned to the side albeit from the bench. @Mikey_Jones also picked up his 5th yellow and will be suspended for the next fixture.
