msc 17,762 Posted January 30, 2017 Captain Chorizo, Grim, Heef and Garn's teams are in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,762 Posted January 30, 2017 Just the five teams left now, and I've sent the respective folk a friendly reminder about it by PM, in case they don't check this thread. If they don't have a team in by midnight tomorrow (Scottish time), their opponent will advance by default. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,119 Posted January 30, 2017 I'm sort regretting my team a bit. I mean, I didn't have time research as much as I did, but we'll see. I did throw in a cult name to round out the terminally ill folk, although one is apparently in remission (not John Bain). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,234 Posted January 30, 2017 I submitted my team. I still expect all of them to die tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,565 Posted January 30, 2017 I'm sort regretting my team a bit. I mean, I didn't have time research as much as I did, but we'll see. Joey I'm encouraged by the fact you have lost the ability to write coherent sentences - pre match nerves kicking in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,119 Posted January 30, 2017 Nah. Recovering from illness. You certainly fucked up my quotes though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainChorizo 1,904 Posted January 30, 2017 Despite the straight forward nature of the scoring in this game it should be interesting to see what kind of different tactics everyone uses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,933 Posted January 31, 2017 How many people do we need to pick for a team? 11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,565 Posted January 31, 2017 Just as well I didn't put in yet with Wetton I don't know yet if Joey had him in his starting 11 but Wetton was one of the obvious ones I agonised over and left out. So the timing of his death, whilst not great for him, might have worked out well for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,119 Posted January 31, 2017 1st sub. I was expecting someone else to die, but it was sub number 1 that carked it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,938 Posted January 31, 2017 I think I will... Didn't have time/bandwith to properly research and don't care for the cancer mum route, so took my 15 from a pool, minus 3 hits so far and lucky dipped one to get the 11. Only xover pick is Sumner...
