I take your points about the 'maxxi's and retract my initial query. Not likely to happen anyway. I would argur though that the <75% ers should be shown lower in the table than others who have less points. For e.g El Pibe can not longer reach the magical 75% as there are not enough weeks left. Don't mind me though. I just like rules.


As for the Cup, I still don't get that. If you only have 8 entries and have 8 q/finalists, everyone qualifies and makes the 3rd,4th and 5th rounds of the cup pointless. I know someone will tell me what I've missed.

The only challenge you might have is if those who can't hit the magic 75% lose interest :(


The option's still open to multiply final score (not including maxxis) by percentage of games played, even if it drives Jah wild.


I wish I could play but I know sweet fanny adams about football.

I would need to go back and look at what was exactly said about the 75% rule. I do know that you needed 75% as an incentive to take part in the Cups, but that has since changed.

You have to remember this wasn't plannned, it just sort of evolved. The maxxi only came about because people joined later than others. Next season, if it's retained, the maxxi will be adjusted to take into account average scores over the whole of this season.

Hopefully next season it will be a lot simpler and clearer, especially as everyone will start at the same time.



Actually you're right, if there were only 8 teams the earlier rounds would be dead ducks. I should've said we need at least 9 teams. Luckily we have at least 9 teams, as ???? will be joining in, so at least one person will get eliminated...

Don't worry H, out of curiosity I'm going to apply the Huggy Quotient at the end of the season...although, depending on the outcome, I reserve the right to withhold publication ;-)

I think you'll find most of the British/Asian kids in the East End have got hair just like that.

Their loss our gain. Please let it happen.

I just hope while he's on loan he proves everyone wrong and manages to change his name from "Oh-no-he's-bringing-on-bloody-Chamakh!" to something a little more positive.


Personally I have more hope for the young Waterford striker, Sean Maguire (no, not the Eastenders actor) working his way into the first team.

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
