Pretty sure I nabbed Preston MOM from the ref like. :angel:

 

You guys have a solid core, Nut, Rocker, Burnip, Pilko, Dave, Venkman all of whom have played very well for NOFC.

As a current neutral I'd say those teams are wildly unfair at the moment.

 

Does look a little bit one sided at the minute tbf.

 

Although Disco has form for moaning about team selection.  :razz:

 

I'm not even on a team yet man.

 

I know, and you're already whining.

And Slim's not bad either. Isn't Gorilla pretty good in the sticks aswell?

Yeah, i've got to say, i genuinely can't see many problems there. Like i said previously - ideally the teams want to be as even as possible, it simply makes for a better game of football. And even though i've only played in one, i know they've all been really good, tight events. It'd be a shame for it to descend into a ten-niller.

 

But, if a few more people pipe up saying it's unfair, we'll look to change it. At the moment though, i think we'll stick. As i've said, there's still some really good players who are currently unattached. Some unknown entities too.

 

One issue that i think is quite a pressing one, is our distinct lack of keepers. In an ideal world, we won't have to round-robin the goalies and it'd be a shame for someone who is really an outfielder, to get lumped in goal.

 

If we don't get a volunteer i genuinely think the best way to do it is to search for ringers.

Slim's got better with every single game. Gorilla's a good goalie but i think he wanted to play outfield from now on.

Oh, so we seriously have no keepers then. At least it's fair. If we can't get ringers in then it'll have to be a rotation plan agreed between the teams. I'm not get stuck with it again.

 

Also, 30 mins ET followed by penalty shoot-out in the unlikely event of a draw at 90 minutes? I love a good shoot-out me.

My problem is basically this...

 

If I was to name the 5 best players, I would say they would be... (in no particular order):

 

Stu

MKSC

Heza

KenDahl

Nut

 

I may not be right, but this is my perspective on who the best players are, and it's 4:1.

Not that it's fair to start doing things like that, at all, the standard of players throughout both squads is generally high. There is - in absolutely no way - an elite collection of players who are lightyears ahead of the rest, in terms of quality.

 

However, if everyone is in agreement with you, we'll look at another way of doing it fairly. But i still think there's some exaggerations going on here. I want the teams as even as possible, just like everybody else.

Don't know if naming who's the best players is a good thing to do. :undecided:

 

It's a slap in the face to half your team tbh. What would you suggest we do instead then Burnip?

Aye, not sure I'll be able to put up with Stu's inflated inflated ego  :doh:

If it's a slap in the face to anyone, they needed that slap for being such a pussy in the first place. It's fact - some players are better than others and those 5 are who I think are best. Does everyone think they're the best player or something? Precious.

Ha! Like I say I just think it's a bit disrespectful, especially as he's only named one of the red team in the top 5. There's no real stand-outs in the NOFC team, every player has their strengths and weaknesses.

It's funny how opinionated people are about England/NUFC players, yet as soon as there is any chance of causing offence within your 'mates' it's deemed disrespectful.

 

What do you want to do Burnip? Genuine question. This is a democratic society.

 

I've no problem with the general process of just lumping people in teams, I just think the teams still need tweaking to make them fair.

Alright then. Seeing as we bagsied MKSC, Heza and QBG in the first place - you take one instead. And we'll call it quits for now.

Is there anyone else we should contact to play? Looking back there was loads of lads in the first one I haven't seen since.

Burnip's gone a bit John Terry on us here. Calling for the inclusion of certain players he thinks are better than the ones currently on his team.

 

FWIW, I have to agree that some players are clearly better than others but that will always be the case. The home team were well short-handed at the SJP game but it didn't turn into a rout. The teams above seem closer matched to me than they were for that game, but we don't want a few weeks of moaning about the teams being unfair so let's just get it sorted.

 

I've got no problem with playing for either side no matter what the teams are. You won't find me complaining, just bollocking my team mates if we are getting trounced.
