As I may be busy this week, at this point on: if you submit a DQ'd pick under FFBI only rules, I'll just sub them with your first sub. Given the lax fame rules AND obit rules, only fair, imo. Disallowed so far - People Who have died already ie Rev Billy Graham - Terminally ill mums with no other claim to fame ie Kate Ann thingymyjig from the papers today - Kids ie folk under the age of 18 - Father in laws of fringe celebrities ie Kevin mcAllister - Hairdressers ie I forget his name, he was Australian - Rabbis with no real fame bar illness - Her who runs the Women in Football thing. Hey! Rachel Cowan actually started some initiative or something. And Derek Elvy got accepted for the Hare's! But I thought my team would do well enough without them so I didn't argue and well, they are still alive and were both in the press last month...so it doesn't matter. Anyway, may I nominate some new subs just in case? I think I'm down at least two after Scott Westgarth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think the last few names are maybe his morning routine by mistake? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,448 Posted February 27, 2018 Sent out reminders to the one or two teams left without Round 2 teams (though I expect most of them to come in tomorrow, just being polite...). The Round 2 masterlist needs to wait till close to the deadline due to the number of close ties, so might be a wee bit after midnight on Thursday morning.

As far as I'm concerned you can make whatever wholesale changes you like so long as time stamped 11:59pm or earlier. Yeah I had TWO on my list I started 6 days ago drop dead, Westgarth of course being one. I had 4 ringers, now I have 2, maybe. I loved my team 48 hours ago, today not so much lol.

Death Impends 7,975 Posted February 28, 2018 Submitted a squad, named "Tippecanoe and Die-ler Too" to continue the William Henry Harrison name theme I had goin' last year. Kept it largely conventional, though still snuck in a couple of off-site names. Good luck Heef. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,044 Posted February 28, 2018 FINAL MOMENTS: From Thistle Wanderers United's Ground: There's snow on the pitch, hampering the players from scoring, just as they have done all game. It's been end to end, but not the end for any player on any team. Will hypothermia finish anyone off in the dying seconds? Will the ref survive a dangerous coin toss through the air? Can either manager actually be bothered going through another whole month of this? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
