Toast 14,793 Posted January 3, 2017 Ah cool, practically 18% of the way to a winner already. And with joker points still waiting on Mario Soares, who must surely be going shortly. Coward, Elias, Hankins, Lakovic, and Sumner were also picked for their days and weeks not months prognosis, so may come good. Anna Holmlund will either be a hit for the Deathrace, or recover, and Nevin/Mcgill/Laws/Downie/Byland are in injury time. Aye, most recent I can find on Soares is "critca" four days ago. Best updates are likely on Portuguese sites - until his dies, obviously. Anyone hereabouts actuall speak Portuguese? Why, are you thinking of getting them to phone the hospital?

maryportfuncity 9,984 Posted January 7, 2017 Reet - off to see the team in promotion place vs form team in the league; that'll be CUFC vs CUFC, then. Unless I'm getting summat wrong the rip below is the totality of the first week action - let me know if there's more and I'll sort it after chips, beer and football Let's Have a Look at the old Scoreboard! msc - 363 pts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,605 Posted January 7, 2017 Well, after only msc having scored in the first week, time for a huge update to the scoreboard. Wish I had made him my joker, though.

msc 17,710 Posted January 8, 2017 Well, the bad news for my chances is that Ricky Murderer Chap is still facing the death penalty in 9 days. The good news is that it's the England national team taking the penalty. Sorry, couldn't resist an old joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 14,793 Posted January 8, 2017 I'm guessing you're still working on adding the team initials, MPFC, but one of my picks (Pete Murray) seems to be missing from the masterlist. Sorted It seems that you didn't finish adding my team to the master list, as the last eight picks of my team aren't noted as such on the masterlist. Including Mario Soares who is the joker.

The downside of submitting so early! Aye, but I'd sorted that when the masterlist was posted - obviously I've just posted the teams for reference. Which Quincy Jones? The producer (more famous) or the comedian with mesothelioma? Put me right if you have to but...I'm assuming the second one - and also assuming you'd go that route on Deathrace because the QO would appear for sure. Thanks for asking mind, cos if Michael Jackson's old mate walks under a bus you can't claim the points now! It's the producer. I know I'm going to be terrible at this, it was half arsed research.

Joey Russ 7,118 Posted January 10, 2017 Also reminds me of Sid Hartman: http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2016/12/30/sid-hartman-recovery/ I selected him for this dead pool because of the fact he was hospitalized in mid December, but now is saying he plans to be back at work in a week.
