Climbing Jacob's Ladder (formerly Magnifying Glacis)

@Shedender Don't even start!
______________________________________



A third of the way through the season, we lead the pack.

Time for the reverse fixtures, Sant Julià denying us three points.

The fans turned up on the right day. Knocked them off their perch on the day. Also managed to save a penalty.

I don't do long, boring speeches, but I do offer results on the pitch. Fired them up in the second half to keep this good run going.

Carrying our form to 9 games unbeaten. Goal came out of a fortunate backpass though. Not the most professional footballing you'd ever see.

Lower opposition for the first cup game.

Extremenya might be feeling Extremenya-ly disappointed with the result as we leave it late to reach double figures in unbeaten games.

What is it about our sides conceding goals straight after we score some? Didn't deserve to draw but their keeper was stalwart between the sticks.

Phew! So glad I didn't scud the unbeaten run. So proud.

@Shedender On the contrary, it's pretty much egged us on!

AAARGH! Flashback to the Dudelange days where we get a scupper in the second half and succumb to a draw. Thought we won it late doors, but Ordino disrupt the party.



Is 13 going to be unlucky?



Half a dozen games left in the season, we now have the split in the league where we face the teams in the top half. Six cup finals really. Six points clear. Crunch time.

U.E. Santa Coloma love to screw us over in the last moments of the game. At least it's better than a defeat.

I've seen spiders flushed down a toilet fight better than Engordany. Semi finals are a serious possibility with this draw.

Only one side has beaten us, F.C. Santa Coloma, and they've only gone and done it again. Not only did we have to play the second half with ten men through a brainless challenge in the centre circle seconds after the whistle, but we fought hard for an equaliser...only for us to completely bottle it in the next highlight. Piles the pressure on us now as our lead at the top is slashed.

Solid youth intake, high hopes for Mauro.

We crawl to the semi finals of the cup.



Avoiding both of the Santa Colomas to take Ordino.

FS Massana did us an almighty favour by roadblocking F.C. Santa Coloma as we fought hard for victory away at U.E. Santa Coloma.



Sets up things nicely with 3 games remaining. FS Massana next, let's not screw this up.

Apparently, FS Massana like to rain on people's parades, including ours. However, it was our own undoing as not one, but TWO own goals were the difference. F.C. Santa Coloma also won meaning our lead is only two. Squeaky bum time.

Quite possibly the worst game I've endured on FM for a decade. Absolutely abysmal, but I'll take the win that books our place in the cup final.



And of course we play F.C. Santa Coloma.

..and exhale. A draw would have taken it to the last game of the season, but the Lusitanos would not settle for anything less than three points. Champions!

I'd demand a refund from that Ordino game. Brutal.

We were well and truly on the beach already.



Final league table.

No fairytale ending as a record crowd saw Phillipe Dubois break our hearts with a flourish in the last 15 minutes for F.C. Santa Coloma to steal the Andorran Cup right up from under us. Can't win 'em all.

Just a little memento to remember me by.

Many key performers for this season, but couldn't pinpoint who was the best. The fans however opted in a landslide vote for Hugo Correia.

Facing my former employers in the first qualifying round of the Champions League. This'll be fun.

Collapsed faster than an Irishman after the eleventh pint. No way back it seems.

Picking up some of the pieces, but the damage was already done.

Same scenario as the cup final. Thought we'd have learned our lesson by now. A bitter end to short reign.



P45 signed off, back to the dole and watching daytime television for now.

Good first season at Lusitans....but really bad start to the new ... i think was the right decision to resign

@Ludogorets96 Yeah, but in truth I already had my decision of leaving made after winning the league, in search for another job.
