sladie

You lot were great last night and were awesome in large patches of both games, especially the first. Thought your defending was quality all through both games, didn't really give us much of a chance to build up a head of steam. Well played and deserved 6 points.

Didn't one of your strikers hit the post with an open goal at one point??

And Tyler has be the best BAP player right now. Prick.

Who scored our goals? Did Gambit get four or five? Who got the others? We scored 8 in total.

I scored a screamer from 20cm. Top corner

Just saw this in the football thread, thought it was appropriate for Mr Sladie biggrin.gif

2. "I'm batteried up LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER." - Billy has now learnt from his mistake.

I'm arouind tonight (even for a kickabout) and then for The Big One. Happy to stick at CB or FB as required.

*cough*billy*cough*dan*cough*sladie*cough*gambit*cough*cough*

C'mon boys, it's monday evening ffs - and that coughing fit almost killed me!

Oh Manic....

I PMed my votes on Saturday!!

Sladie get on your missus

Yes, boss

Anyway, for those who missed it last night I know what is causing my connection to drop. Every time that bitch answers the phone I get chucked, and then when she hangs up I get chucked again! So selfish...

I'd love to go to Vegas!

Mrs Sladie is originally from New York, so I've done the East Coast

That is a sweet holiday!! I've never been to the West Coast before, would love to go though.

Are we getting a practise game in tomorrow? Last week we kinda Drifted and, although we got a game, it would be good to get everyone together a little earlier.

Its also my last week before three weeks whilst I am in the US (I can neither confirm or deny I will be speaking with Steely whilst out there )*

When and where are you going? Mrs Sladie is heading out to New York for 10 days on Friday morning. That means I'll be on for the games on Thursday, but won't be on early or hanging around after. But I should be on tomorrow after the Fulham match.

That's only for the game locking up. Sounds like Sladie was getting kicked from the servers which is different.

Yeah, I am getting booted from the EA servers. Never, ever had this problem before until the last few weeks. I'll try and delete everything though just in case it'll help.

Gutted I got kicked so early on in that second game and missed out. Sounds awesome. I'll try and delete all the FIFA 10 stuff off my HDD to see if that sorts out being kicked from the EA servers.

Was gutted to concede that third goal in the first game. It was my fault for giving baring of all people too much space in the box. We were having to drop quite deep and I just got stuck and didn't attack the ball. Typcial half turn, finese into corner finish in the end though.

Well played in the second games lads!

I should be ok for later and to get on a bit earlier tomorrow. Is the whole back 4 going to on? Would be worth us having a game together.

You learn more from your defeats, and all that.

We were outplayed. Rovers were fantastic, breaking at pace with numbers and rock solid at the back. And we lost almost every 50/50 challenge in over the pitch. They played us perfectly and deserved their wins. I don't think we were that bad, we just came against a team with a bit of a point to prove.

One thing though: let's take more shots! We got in a few good positions last night and we were looking for a pass all the time.

Your 2+2 books will definitely still be relevant -- do you have Harrington's tournament books? I've been re-reading them recently and they really are excellent. No-nonsense advice which gets results.

I've got Vol 1 and 2 of Harrington's books. Will have to give them a look through again. Cheers.

I think I'll check the pub one out just because I know that I'll be able to get a few mates to go along. And it's next door after all - be rude not to really. But feel ya about why they aren't that great.

Billy, can you hook me up with a Full Tilt code please mate?

I'll have to have a flick through some of my old 2+2 books...I guess stuff like 'Small Stakes Poker' doesn't really go out of date.

Edit: would definitely be up for a Football League poker game.

Sorry I didn't make it on last night guys, I was too busy being super awesome at poker. I'll be on tonight fo sho. You ho.

Nice one, mate. Good wins for you and Pants last night I see!! The pub next door to where I work puts on a game every Wednesday, might have to check that out next week. Not played for ages.

I'll be on after the barca match. You pricks.

You were all my Men of the Match

I feel victimised over both the comments and laughter regarding my throw-ins

Top of the league!

Well played last night lads! Was an odd one for me with my connection woes - I got booted from the EA servers 4 times! Was lucky really that I managed to last the second game. Played my first ever BAP game as WM! Pants, next time I think you need to be more specific when you tell me to throw it into the 'danger area'!

Kicked again.

Kicked. Won't connect at all right now....

Perhaps I'm missing the point of this...but why not just put everyone into an auction? That way if people want to retain their mates or get the best players then they have to pay for it. No one has a value from season to season, it's just what each manager is prepared to pay. Let the market decide the value of each player. If managers were worried about player retention then perhaps the Manager could pick a Club Captain prior to the auction.

I've probably not thought this idea out too well though!!

I'm fine for Thurs (prob 9.30) and for weds praccy.
