Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted December 18, 2007 We seem to have a fair amount of interest in the beautiful game here on the DL - so I am proposing to set up an online management league - The DeathList Championship or similar on xperteleven. I don't know if anyone is familiar with the site, it can be found here: xperteleven.com It is, in my opinion, one of the better ones on the web, and completely free to play - no catches! If you are interested in having a go drop me a PM or reply to this post - we need 8 of us to make it viable, but more the merrier. If we can get a dozen or more it could get really exciting with two divisions and everything! DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if anyone is familiar with the site, it can be found here: xperteleven.com I don't mind, as long as it involves relatively minimal maintenance on my part to manage this team, as time is not one thing I have an awful lot of in 2008. If I do play, it will, of course, be in the same tactical mould as my two managerial heroes - Stevie Coppell & Admiral Ackbar. Therefore, Expect a downbeat "It's a Trap!" to be my main cry from the dugout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Minimal maintenance it is - it can take as little as ten minutes a week to sort a team and tactics out - so I can count you in then? That will make four - half way there already!

Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted December 18, 2007 OK, it would seem that 6 teams gets the league underway, so anticipating enough interest, I have created a new league - I now have to get 5 more of you signed up within 3 weeks to get it underway. I have clicked a privacy option which will hide your real name and only show your log-in, in case you have an issue with that. Drop me a PM and I will send you back an invitation to join. Then, sign up and get ready for the blow off. DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted December 19, 2007 Death League Just bumping this one up again. We have 4 takers so far, 2 more have shown interest, which would get us underway, but more is most definitely merrier. Get in touch if you fancy a go. DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DWB Unfortunately due to Managerial commitments (I have 2 other teams already) , it appears I cannot join . I've even tried resigning from one of my current teams , but no luck . If I dont access 1 of my teams , I think I get sacked after a month , but I guess thats too long for you all to wait ? Sorry...I shall have to decline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted December 19, 2007 What a shame! We have five of us signed up so far, so we still need at least one more to get the ball rolling. The game is easy to play, doesn't take up much of your time and is completely free - and quite addictive if you get into it. If we do start with only 6 or 7 teams, the season wont take too long to complete so, Grobler, if you have a change of mind in the new year, you are more than welcome to join us for season 2.

Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted December 20, 2007 We now have six and can start a season - if anyone else wants to join in, it's not too late, just drop me a PM or reply to this. Those who are already involved, I suggest you arrange a couple of friendlies between us to get the feel of what goes on, then, next week, I will kick off the season. If you have any questions, there is a forum on the league. Cheers all. DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK then, for the benefit of those not privy to the results, the first pre-season friendly between the Crypt Kickers (DWB) and Dyslexics Untied (HCW) ended 2-0 to the Kickers with the first goal going in 3 minutes after kick-off. The season proper starts Jan 2nd and I'm sure the victors from various matches played will be more than happy to share the news with you all! DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DWB Of course what DWB forgot to mention that the first 'goal' was the result of a freak breakaway shot that was more of a pass gone wrong rather than a good attempt at goal. As for the lucky bounce of the ball for the second 'goal' .....well............ I leave it to your imagination, of course no-one else saw DWB slipping the assistant referee a brown envelope at half time........................... Its just not cricket when you're against 12 players My first real game is against the Knickers United on 2nd Jan. Were all fired up and ready for some hot Knicker action.

Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted December 30, 2007 DWB i'm up for this Football League thing... where do i sign? Hi RM, good to hear you are interested. The inaugral season is about to kick-off (already committed so can't back track) so if you would care to hang on for about 5 weeks, you can come in on season 2 - I will drop you an invite nearer the time. Cheers DWB ps - It would seem that during the night some git (Knickers to you) broke in and punctured all our match footballs - my players have lost form and it cost the club 100k to replace them.
