And also there are ways to easily ensure the system isn't abused by people who aren't committed to the game. Doing the result on the Sunday, having to post the instructions on the Friday for example. If everyone hates the idea, fine. It would just make my life a lot easier over the next month or so.

That's the player I had my eye on.Originally Posted by Bad Collin
Should've checked first BC.
That's the player I knew you had your eyes on.
He scored again tonight, if he is going to be stealing Longworth's goals then it may as well be for 1. FC
Do you work in a prison or something? If not I see no reason why it should be an issue. Just say you are going for a really big shit at 10 to 3, hop on the sporting life website, check who is playing and post your team. And then make sure to say "I wouldnt go in there for a while if i was you" to whoever you are working with to keep the charade up.It is a serious suggestion and I really don't see any issue with it.
If the only issue is that it may take a minute or two longer to do results, I'm happy to add to the proposal that anyone who uses the rule has to do their own results by the Sunday night or something.
Quite simply we will never ever have auto subs. It ruins the whole premise of the game and if we were to start it we may as well just play newspaper fantasy football games where we all pick the same teams.
Yeah Andy you utter cunt
Ok no problem. I will likely either be in the car or in a meeting at that time in the afternoon, that's the problem.
I suppose Messi and Aguero will rarely have Saturday 3pm games so hopefully I can get away with checking three or four players.
I'll look for you mate.
Another two goals for Stuart Fleetwood tonight. How did he not get picked during the draft? I reckon he'll outscore BCWROGS number one domestic player Jon Shaw.
Then pull over and check...
Once things settle down he'll be fourth choice striker there. He'll barely get a game.
That's partly why I wanted him; to fill the void Jamie Longworth has left in my heart.
Nah. They need someone who will score goals. Shaw is merely a lower league journeyman and Rendell has never been prolific, whereas Fleetwood won the BSP Golden Boot in half a season a couple of years back.
He needed a good start to the season to justify being given a run, and three goals in the first two games will ensure that.
Exciting times.
I fucked up and thought he had been drafted. Then I seen him get picked up after the draft and nearly had a shit on my chair.
So, basically I am at about 10/1 but given I am a moody git and you have high expectations regarding me quitting the game (again), you have increased my odds by fivefold?
My squad listed earlier is fine
League records:
Scott Rendell - 168 starts 79 goals (0.47)
Jon Shaw - 244 starts 108 goals (0.44)
Stuart Fleetwood - 177 starts 73 goals (0.41)
Rendell's goals were scored two divisions higher than the others as well.
It might be only a minute or two extra but I don't think anyone has ever managed to get the results done in under an hour before and that's already much too long.It is a serious suggestion and I really don't see any issue with it.
If the only issue is that it may take a minute or two longer to do results, I'm happy to add to the proposal that anyone who uses the rule has to do their own results by the Sunday night or something.
I'd go easy on the talking smack. I spent at least 3 seasons doing the great escape in the final ten games of the year before last year when I did alright and now Beefy is rating my chances the same as him. One year I drafted Justin Richards first and promised he'd score 20...I had 9 points at the halfway stage. What's worse is da_man made similar assertions about doing well and only had 6 points.
I had Aguero higher than Rooney, Rhodes not on the list and someone with the surname Gray in my top 10. I think.
Can't find my sheet anymore.
MORE STATS
Shaw has had a 20 goal season, a 17 goal season and a 28 goal season in the conference.
Rendell has seasons of 17 goals in 23 starts and 15 goals in 26 starts in the conference.
Fleetwood has had one season of 28 goals in 41 starts in the conference, 4 seasons ago. Last year in the same division and setup he is in now, with less competition, he scored 12 goals in 40 games.
Look at you sneaking in that "till Tuesday" thing so that all of your players got two games.
Didn't work though.
Beefy 3
Huntelaar pen 18
Cisse 33, 55
son_of_foley 2
McAllister 64
Rowe 81
Shaw will be their main striker and will score their most goals. Rendell is playing as a link man between Shaw and the midfield. It's Fleetwood or Andre Gray for the final spot.
Want to hear something even better? The bet was goals scored next weekend werent counted for the bet right? Boyes got sent off so isnt playing at the weekend anyway hehehe
It really doesn't matter, that bet is money in the bank for me as far as I'm concerned.
Sami Hyppia Shield:
1. FC Collserslautern 3
Canham 15
King (ET)
Longworth (ET)
Scottport Couny 1
Emnes 33
Unless you got goals last night Chris
If you're so sure he's going to bang in the goals why change him? Im really annoyed with his treatment and now he's ended up with mentally unstable BBF. Who I hear watched him in the showers yesterday. He's unsettled and wants back to the one manager in this game who loved him #headsgone
Actually lads in all seriousness when I posted that I forgot BBF was bi-polar so err yeah sorry
Shaw hates you because I told him about the shambles of a deal you had to agree to when you signed him.
Did you know Jon Shaws wife is friends with the woman from the real hustle?
I did. #LEVSKI S_O_Familia
Jon Shaw is like Ronaldo to my Bobby Robson. I might have called him Carl Cort occassionally but fuck me he scored loads of goals
Calling someone Carl Cort is a compliment.
I remember that deal happened and I was on XBOX LIVE FIFA CLUBS with Alex and he was all like "shhhh keep quiet" because we both thought swapping Shaw for Holt was insane.
That didn't work out as expected.
Never doubt my discerning eye for target men
Nope you won mate, well in.

In news that will shock absolutely no one because it's news that fucks me over, Martin Boyle has signed with Dundee. Forgetting the fact it's a jump from the 3rd division to the SPL I particularly like that fact this transfer is done after the swap draft, good stuff.
The bookies knew about this move a couple of days ago hence your 50/1 title odds.
Somehow the Bookies always knows
I'm not entirely sure if it was last year or the year before that but I'm sure this is second time (might even be third) that my first round pick is fucked before the season even starts.
At least yours didn't break his ankle

In other news...
Crewe Alexandra summer signing Mathias Pogba is confident he will be able to maintain his scoring form throughout the new season.
Striker Pogba, 21, joined the Alex from Wrexham in July and has since found the net 10 times in 11 games, including twice against Hartlepool on Saturday.
"Since I was young, I was always hungry to score goals," Pogba told BBC Radio Stoke.
"I'm hungry to do well for the team. So I will be like this all season."
GO ON POGBA YOU BASTARD.
That explains why Stuart Fleetwood is favourite to be the Conference top goalscorer.Somehow the Bookies always knows
Sunderland have signed Saha, does that mean Fletcher is staying at Wolves? That's highly gay if that's the case. Turning down £13m for him is mental.
When is someone going to create the RFF thread for the season?
Away in Amsterdam watching Snoop Dogg/Lion this weekend so tentative team in case I don't make it on.

You must have put a lot on for the odds to drop like that.
I doubt he'll hit double-figures in the league. tbh.
Pfft, he'll be in double figures by the end of September.
I wouldn't bet on him at 7/1 though, that's a ridiculously low price. As is Shaw at 8/1 and Rendell at 22/1 (Skybet)
Double figures for 'being shit'.

50/1? Fucking hell, have some of third place, Beefy
Ahh, memories.
Fuck you Beefy, fuuuuuuuuuucckkkkk youuuuuuu.
50/1 Cheeky bastard.
50/1 seems fair enough. You didn't win.
Alex had a shocker. He had a genuinely decent starting squad.
You got the top four spot on. That was the four top scorers in order I think.
100/1 finished higher than the 10/1
