Derby Dead Pool 2017

[drol 11,957]

Patience has its limits, it seems.

[YoungWillz 21,062]

About time you vented TMIB! We should be rallying round to help and re-reading the rules before we come on here.

 

I have nothing but the utmost admiration for someone who can handle a job like this.

[Death Impends 7,986]

Aye, I'd have probs snapped long ago running a pool of this magnitude. It's commendable that TMIB's kept his cool for as long as he has.

Yeah. Also, I heard it's "not best advised" to use hydrogen in an airship...

[charon 4,943]

 

So the Daily Record doesn't count, but a live thread mention in the bbc's football section (which covers virtually every professional match) does? What a fucking joke.

 

I'll be padding my team out with no name footballer players next year.

 

It does look like a good source of qualifying obits.

 

Eastleigh goalkeeper Ryan Clarke's dad died last year

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/37731905

 

Tommy Bryceland died last year too. Despite getting a mention in the Daily Record, The Herald and the Scotsman he wouldn't have counted (if anyone had picked him) until he got THIS mention in a live page

"After a minute's applause at Carrow Road for former Norwich player Tommy Bryceland, who has died aged 76, we get under way."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/35207755

 

Dai Williams, the kit man for the Welsh Football team passed away unnoticed - apart from a comment here[/size]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/31963750

 

I notice that these pages invite comments from the public, some of which are published so it might be possible to sneak in a wee mention of the death of a woman who danced with a man who danced with a girl who danced with the prince of Wales.[/size]

 

 

 

AND I LIKE PAUL LAMBERT ! ! ![/size]

 

HE SCORED A CRACKER FOR CELTIC AGAINST RANGERS:-)[/size]

£30 , 7/1 for 2-0 'tic.

 

I 'leaked' a little in the pub when it went in. Only time I was in that pub in Granton

[charon 4,943]

Ftr , the Hun nailed obits in 2 countries so far....more than most Newcastle players ever would.

 

Make that 3 countries...

I just looked and nowhere do I see my GRIS GRIS theme team?! I posted the lineup here on this thread. Same as my other theme team MADE IN DETROIT which we had a lively discussion about Mike Ilitch here on this thread.

 

What gives?

 

I'll chalk it up to oversight.

I'm hoping the big boys will pick up on fellow journo Paul Mcgill who died the other day.

Oy vey. NO TMIB. Seriously, I presumed posting was equivalent to the formalities. Only reason I emailed my main team was for secrecy, not formalities. I guess you'd have shut me out totally had I not done so. 'Lucky' me. SMH lesson learned.

[msc 18,479]

Sir Creep, with the due respect, you really ought to start reading the rules for deadpools you enter. Or, if you can't see them, ask a friendly Deathlister for their whereabouts.

Oh, the Hindenburg tragedy. Good times.

Don't they know there are other months in the year to die?

[Gooseberry Crumble 5,346]

Do your own dead pool then.

 

I'm sick of this fucking moan, moan fucking moan.

 

I've worked by balls off for EIGHT FUCKING YEARS and all I get it "Mi Mi Mi Mi Mi!"

 

If you don't like the rules, don't fucking enter. Simple as fucking that.

 

That's it. 2017 is MY LAST YEAR. PERIOD.

 

Someone else can fucking do it. I'm sick of my time being wasted like this.

 

Someone else can take up the fucking cudgel and spend hour after hour, entering teams, making updates etc etc and having to put up with moaning minnies every fucking year.

 

I've taken it as far as i can go. No more.

 

and Paul Lambert can fuck off an' all...

Please try not to let some people's moaning and negativity to dishearten you. Please don't make any hasty final decisions just yet.

I think your doing a brilliant and fantastic job. I have no problem with the rules you set out.

I'm half Scottish and have spent much of my recent years in Scotland and don't think there's anything anti Scottish at all in your system. The other half of me is scouse which is also another motivation for me to feel I should rush to your defence.

 

Some People need to take a step back and think about what their saying.

 

I am very grateful to you for all your hardwork.

It's impossible to please everyone so don't get stressed even trying.

 

Take care mate ☺

I will add my thanks and appreciation for your work Blackie. The rules are very straightforward and if people want to moan about it, let them. I, like many others have failed to get a "hit" for picks in the DDP that fail to get the required obit but keep a good attitude about it. The great majority of the players are the same. If you decide to stop running the DDP it will be understandable but I hope you continue. Once again, thanks for all your hard work these last several years.

Hey Sir C, you say there was a lively discussion about Michael Ilitch in this thread. I'm not seeing it but am interested since our Death League draft is coming up in late February. Is he finally going to go?

[Death Impends 7,986]

Re Ilitch - the convo about him wasn't in this thread, but the Salvage Lot one. He was on my DDP shortlist as there were rumors he was in a very bad way, but I decided not to pick him since Jeff Moss, the main source of these rumors, has been banging the "Ilitch is dying!" drum for a few years now - on top of Sir Creep's theme leading me to assume he wouldn't be unique. Only he would've been after all, for the theme team wasn't properly entered!

 

Mind, I think shooting for uniques from 80+ names is a weak DDP strategy in this day and age anyway, between the improved research game among many of us and the Drop 40 bonus. He probably is unwell, but pretty much a "is he really at death's door or just old"? gamble.
