Usually I submit the same names as for Deathrace, plus 5, but am considering a completely different approach this time! Hence the delay. So you take the names that you use for a pool that requires the picks to die as quickly as possible, and submit them for a pool that requires picks to die as late in the year as possible? Without wanting to tell you how to pick your own teams , I'd say that a completely different approach is well warranted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, let's face it, we mostly have no idea when people are going to die, do we? The gist is that if someone doesn't score for me in the early pool, they might oblige in the late one! I did actually win this pool once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,436 Posted December 30, 2020 I think I had a dubious forum record in the Hares Pool? Latest in the year to take the lead in a deadpool and still not win it. Bloody Don Lusk! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't give a monkeys when you send the teams in so long as they are before midnight. I've been half cut on Whisky Macs since about 3 o'clock and intend to get progressively more so as the evening progresses. So send in the teams as late as you wish- just don't expect me to deal with them until I sober up tomorrow afternoon. I will happily pass on Deathray's abuse though should it come my way! Your lack of an "e" is just taking the piss though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

En Passant 3,740 Posted December 31, 2020 Oh and presumably you could also just pm @An Fear Beag here with the same team as he suggested you could. Then he'll get Deathers pissing in his ear that he already has that team rather than you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
