Grim Up North 3,565 Posted February 2, 2017 I presume that you need to have a QO for someone who has died by the time the final whistle goes at midnight at end of month otherwise it's going to get a bit messy around month ends? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 17,727 Posted February 2, 2017 Nope, we move swiftly onto the next round. If its announced on March 3rd that someone's team player died on the 28th February, well, sorry about your damned luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Switch 139 Posted February 2, 2017 By the way, if there is a draw in the final, should there be extra time? Golden goal, perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that's a bit of an own goal there, but given it sounds like you'll be 8-2 up before too long, you can't complain too much... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 17,727 Posted February 6, 2017 Rugby started when Webb Ellis picked up the ball during a football match and ran down the pitch before placing it in the net with his hands. He asked the referee "Is that a goal?" and the ref said "No, but it was a bloody good try, son." Anyhow, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Up North 3,565 Posted February 7, 2017 Haha Joey - our teams have 7 of the same people in them. So our match is actually:- GUN 4 - Kaufmann, Bracknell, D Carrington and D Burns (Man City Fan) Joey 4 - K Douglas, K Lynn, McGuinness, King Michael So about a quarter of the way into the game just a bit of managerial review from the dugout. Joost was a goal for us both but I had already taken the lead with one of my 4 key players, Carrington popping his clogs. Joey needs one of his 4 key players to die to equalise but actually if only one of them dies by end of the month then the tie break rules mean that a Kirk or Michael death will still give me the match so Joey would need another of his 4 key players to die to take the game. This leaves me looking at Martin McGuinness - no significant news since start of match - and Kevin Lynn who apparently is a little known musician. The only Kevin Lynn I can find on the internet is an ex band member with Holy Fuck but I can't find much wrong with him so maybe it's another Kevin Lynn? It's tough watching a match when you aren't even sure who is playing for the opposition! PS David Burns is looking like a bad choice - Man City players don't look like they are going to visit so he probably won't be newsworthy even if he dies.

msc 17,727 Posted February 7, 2017 Joey's pick is this guy, who is certainly only famous for dying in my book, and might even not be dying after all. Who knows? Word on the tweet (from journalist types too so I assume it's true but unofficial) is that Irwin Corey has died, which would bring Chorizo into the lead - bad luck YW - and bring "Choppy" level in his tie, but we're reliant on any obit, any English obit. Which I'll assume will come before long, as from my very limited skimming of twitter there, I'm gathering he's sort of an American Ken Dodd? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
