SPORT: What The Hell Are Rangers Doing?

So here we are, match day 5, and the TFA Premier League table makes daunting viewing for all the teams involved, all except Rangers that is! Rangers after 5 games have never been away from the top of the table, have won every single match so far, are 7 points clear and have scored 17 goals in just 5 games. Although their seems to be a lot of holes in the Rangers defence the attacking nature of the team cancels that out and goes even further.

For the teams stuck in the middle of the table (positions 2-5) time is running out on the possibility of eating into Rangers lead. A few decent results from the likes of the Celts and the Moor have shown that there may still be chance but inconsistency seems to be the downfall at every corner. On the other hand Golden Harps looks certain to be out of the title race with only one point from 5 games and they rest 4 points adrift at the bottom. This doesn't bode well for Harps on two counts as if a Second division is added they will be relegated if they continue on this current path and they are almost certain to have to play preliminary matches to get into the TFA Cup 'proper'.

With quarter of the season gone it really is all to play for!!

SPORT: Talamthom vs. Mayo

The Republic of Talamthom's entrance into EIFA along with other newcomers Mayo was a baptism of fire for the hosts at New Lansdowne Road, Baile na hÁlainn who went down 14-7 in the high-scoring match. Talamthom, under the charge of caretaker manager George O'Connor, went for an attacking strategy and formation and were punished consistently by a much sturdier Mayo. One thing was for sure and that was that 54,000 spectators at Lansdowne Road were treated to an exciting match.

Talamthom need not worry too much about the match, as regardless of the result, they have been accepted into EIFA and will be able to compete in the World Cup this Christmas time. It is not known who will be in charge for the matches but the TFA is under pressure to employ a Tománnach citizen. It is too early to predict whether Talamthom will be able to be competitive in this coming world cup but it will be an interesting time for Tománn football that's for sure!

President Kelly Back From Coralia

President Kelly has returned to Talamthom following taking part in the Coralia Peace Convention and stopping off in Gotzborg to discuss membership to the ArVe Convention. The peace process in Coralia seemed doomed to fail from the start despite hearty efforts from the President who proposed a piece of legislation called the O'Ceallaigh Treaty. It would have made way for changes in the legislative structures of Coralia so that all three parties involved in the dispute would have fair representation in the government.

Despite the setback for the President's proposals in Coralia he went on to the ArVe Conference fully refreshed after a game of golf with August Charles, King of Gotzborg. Talamthom were easily accepted into the worlds newest intermicronational group and the President was quick to open the new offices there. In the meantime Alex Garine, currently in charge of Tománn Foreign Affairs, has stepped up to the plate as leader for Talamthom's possible membership of the Raspur Conference.
