What!? four nil up and you blew it to lose seven four! Ouch man!

Looks like forms starting to leave you, lets hope for a strong finish in the last couple of months!


Yup. I couldn't believe my eyes. I think Stefano Okaka scored 5 or so. Was incredible to watch to be honest haha

So it seems, it's in our hands to finish strong and people are finally coming off the injury table! So I'll have an update soon of just how it went

...This time in the Apriliani history will come to be known as Aprile di Apriliani or "April of the Aprilians" and this phrase will signify the epitome of debacle. If a team is doing well in Italian football, they will need to watch out for a month that could be an Aprile di Apriliani as this means it will all go tits up for them during this period.

Our scoreless woes continued in the first game of April, with a shocking 0-3 loss away at 17th ranked Catanzaro.

An unbelievable 1-3 home loss to Savona. They have been our bogey team this year, and we just can't do shit against them.

An unlucky 1-2 away loss to league leaders Catania, they scored a late winner and we were actually looking like our old selves, playing decently.

Man did we need this one. Broke the winless/loss streak. Pritchard with a brace. The central midfielder is our leading scorer which should tell you a lot about our woes in front of the net. Gameiro still has yet to score. Isoufi made a return and promptly got himself re-injured for 4 weeks in this game.

So...I don't know what to say guys, I'm going to give it a go here in the end.

A blagh month showing the inconsistencies of old. The goals from Acetta have dried up. Isoufi and Pritchard have been injured all month. Gameiro has yet to score We just can't find the back of the net.

Shit home performance going scoreless against lowly Nocerina. FUCK!

Casieri rescued all 3 points in a performance at Crotone that deserved a win, but didn't think was going to deliver one.

A solid home victory over top-10 Virtus, with Isoufi bagging a brace! He did pick up an injury during the game which could prove costly to our season though.

A 0-1 loss to Perugia away was one we deserved, although one that I hated to conceed. Fucking team can't score, and look like shit playing to be honest.

FUCK! Fuck the 0-3 home loss to Verona. Got a straight red in the 25th minute, a second yellow/red in the 33rd, and they scored twice at the end of the half. This put us down 0-2 at home with 9 men coming out of the tunnel ....shit...and the game didn't end any better, a 0-3 loss in a game where they could have had 10...FUCK FM!

In reality we MUST step up the performances or we will have another fucking shite run in like last year. That will NOT be happening!

The shortest month of the year was probably the craziest thus far this season!

A solid 5-3 start win over Brescia, Pritchard with his second hat-trick for the club!

A poor showing away at 21st ranked Latina, where Manuel Battistini had to rescue a point for us.

A lovely (and lucky) 2-0 home win with a brace from Pritchard! Empoli was ranked 2nd during this game, and they tripled our amount of shots, but in the end, the crowd helped us to victory!

Now a strange 4-7 loss away at Cagliari. Pritchard put us up 4-0 with all 4 goals before the halftime mark, then was injured, and we went into the half up 4-2. They ended up injuring two more of my guys, so 3 subs before the 60th minute, and we lost 4-7 very unlucky, the Pritchard injury is painful. and just very strange.

A solid 2-0 win over Modena at home to end the month of love. Terenzi is a Sammarinese boy who has increased the most this season I feel!

Going into March, it's time to make it the spring season we have wanted the past two years and a top 5 finish and perhaps a foray into the Elysian fields of Serie A!

Continuing to get knackered by injuries!

Signed this BR on a free to give some options in a midfield that is either injured, on loan away from the club, or leaving the club in the summer.

Unlucky last result mate! Great signing in Gamerio. Shame you couldn't get any young Sammarinese players this year. Still doing well up in 5th!


More of a poor performance, we need to put in some victories! Yeah, I've always liked him IRL and in FM but I don't think I've ever signed him! Definitely a big shame, but two of the best youngsters not on my team that are Sammarinese are solid players for the San Marino club team and I cannot afford them! Half because they are pretty decent, half because Aprilia haven't had good finances since I took them over despite staying under the wage budget each year and finishing in quality positions haha

Another lone performance in January. Another shit one. A 2-5 away drubbing at the hands of Sassuolo. They just beat the shit out of us, plain and simple. Need to have a good spring this year or I'll run the risk of repeating last year's debacle della primavera.

Still sitting in an okay position entering 2020 and the 2nd half of the season

January Transfers
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/h36iZNdH2EeO1mCY0EDPGie6GHrj5SXpKopwaMbZ.png


No young Sammarinese brought in this year I'm a bit disappointed about this, but there seems to be a lull in quality Sammarinese youngsters, which is even more alarming. Sina and Monti and two defenders brought in for role playing/rotational options as Augistine Loof just didn't work out and put in shocking performances, so he is now in the reserves waiting to move in June, having accepted a contract from another club. John Obi Mikel is also moving to a Turkish Premier team, which I was okay with, he wanted crazy wages and isn't performing anything out of above average. Kevin Gameiro is an exciting pickup and can hopefully bring us some veteran goals; this pickup was also a necessity as Tomassini is injured, Accetta is only on loan with us, and my other strikers are all pretty young. All of the loans out of the club are either unhappy Sammarinese, who refuse to resign a contract due to playing time, which is worrying as I don't want them to retire, or youth players.

Hopefully my next update will be filled with green dots and amazing performances!

I need to stop starting out months so slow!

Wrecked at home by Catania. It was just a pathetic showing. We were down 0-4 at the half. Just yelled at em and hoped for a couple goals. I suppose the 2-1 2nd half victory is something positive to take from it, but I was seething.

I really tough 3-4 away loss to take at Cremonese, who we are battling in the top 7 with. I believe we were down 1-3 at the half. I yelled at them again, and this time we battled back valiantly, only to be struck down by a late winner. Looked like it might just be coal this Christmas for Aprilia

Nothing like a home thrashing of Varese! 4-1 and we never looked like anything less. Tomassini getting his first tow goals of the season is icing on the cake!

A clutch 3-2 away victory that happened even after going down 0-1 in the 9th minute and Accetta getting a straight red for violent conduct in the 16th minute! So a 10 man miracle!!!

Needed Isoufi to step up and grab us another crucial 3 points at home against Lanciano. Looking good!

Battistini's first goal for the club saved a point for us away at Benevento, who went into this match flying off the back 6-3 AWAY victory over a languishing Cagliari.

Sitting pretty going in the Top 5 into the new year, looks like the January transfer period may be busy, with the free transfers happening at the end of June being HUGE as well!

Certainly not! I want that competitive victory!!! Yeah man, will do, I want a top 10/8 finish this year!

Also, I'm finding it easier to keep this season going knowing people are anticipating updates. Not get bogged down by getting so annoyed I quit or restart a match because of frustration. haha

Very lovely (and lucky) 1-nil away win at league leaders Empoli! Accetta continuing to perform!

Unfortunate 2-2 draw at home to Latina. They equalized in the 83rd minute, and although a draw was probably the most fair result considering the match stats, was still annoyed to drop points at home.

Amazing 2-0 home victory over Cagliari, who have fallen from grace and have already gone through a manager sacking this year. Casieri brace was crucial and he actually missed a sitter late in the game in which he denied himself his hat-trick.

A VERY POOR showing away at Modena resulted in a 0-3 loss that could jave been much worse if De Bellis didn't have to put the defense on his back and make some unbelievable saves. We were dominated in this match and it was surprising how shit we played.

A fantastic away 4-2 victory over Nocerina!!!! We went 0-2 down and then made the 4-goal comeback following my team talk at half when it was 1-2 after Battistini, a Sammarinese boy, had pulled one back for us. Epaillard played out of his mind, and got his first 2 goals of the season, a artillery of a penalty kick and then a fantastic volley from just inside the box that I am tempted to load up here! Isoufi with a wonderful free-kick goal to round off a sensational comeback!

ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED! A competitive point against a good Montenegro team!!! Peluso again! I think he has scored 3 or 4 this calendar year for the Sammarinese boys!!! Kept them out, a bit of luck, think they had 2 or 3 disallowed goals, but we took our chance when we had it and capitalized one their bad luck!

a 0-3 loss away to France really isn't that poor of a scoreline. However, they had their way with us, and it could have been 5 or 7 or 10, as you can see by the match stats. So....we obviously aren't there yet haha
