by Il Gialloblu Wed 30 May 2012, 4:49 pm

That's basically a pretty long-winded way to say put your name down, get a team and do some entertaining trash talk for them.

by GSC Wed 30 May 2012, 4:52 pm

Boom.

Thats a pretty short winded way of saying I'm in

by JamesLincs Wed 30 May 2012, 4:59 pm

Do you mean you're up for the banter tournament mate?

I've put you on the list but can take you off if I've misunderstood your post.

by Il Gialloblu Mon 04 Jun 2012, 4:48 am

Nice one KB.

7 entrants... first draw has been made.

Potential new entrants... get your name down and join in the fun! Hug

Any more for any more?

by trottb Mon 04 Jun 2012, 7:08 am

I'm in, good idea Il.

by Il Gialloblu Mon 04 Jun 2012, 9:02 am

Cheers trottb.

I'll assign you a team in due course... although it'll be England if nobody else signs up.

Speaking of which, get your names down and join in folks!

by trottb Mon 04 Jun 2012, 9:13 am

Then who will you have? Or is your sole purpose to be judge and over lord?

by Il Gialloblu Mon 04 Jun 2012, 9:24 am

I'm not sure if I will have anyone. Judge and overlord is fine by me.

I'll see if it fills up any more and decide later.

by Il Gialloblu Tue 05 Jun 2012, 2:59 am

Groups C and D are full.

Still the Group A and Group B heavyweights available.

Thought you guys would appreciate this!

Nice one mate.

I just asked me missus to choose A or B and a number between 1 and 4... you got Russia.

Come on folks, don't leave mystiroakey with nobody to talk to. Sign up.

by Hibbz Tue 05 Jun 2012, 3:52 pm

Do I not like Orange.

Us Paddies are winners already, just qualifying is a bonus the rest of you "proud" nations need to win.

When Irish eyes are smiling to be sure to be sure.

ps. If we can have a second team with another draw any chance I could have the Germans?

by mystiroakey Tue 05 Jun 2012, 3:52 pm

sweet my dark horse in this event. i have allready been talking them up!!

Gregers, not signed up but showing the way.

by Hibbz Tue 05 Jun 2012, 3:56 pm

Nice easy group to get through too. Chokers Spain, Italy can't win without bribes and no amount of potatoes is enough and as for Croatia it's not even a real country is it?

by Hibbz Tue 05 Jun 2012, 3:57 pm

Russia? Do me a favour pal they couldn't even win when they had half of the rest of Europe with them. Super power my ar$e.

by mystiroakey Tue 05 Jun 2012, 4:00 pm

Russia must be favs for the group- stuck in with poland, greece and czech republic.. hahaha

No group of death here. just easy pickings. Greece dont have the money to bribe a win off russia(as spain did)

and poland and czech are like wales and scotland to russia and all. We wont let our wannabee neighbours beat us thats for sure

by Il Gialloblu Tue 05 Jun 2012, 4:02 pm

Hibbz - I'll obviously try to fill Group A first now that Russia have gone and dole out any leftovers nearer the kick-off so there is a good chance that Germany will be up for grabs as a 2nd team, barring an unexpected late deluge of interest.

If they don't go, they could well be yours...

From mr ireland- lol , you couldnt even win when half your team was english rejects!!

by Hibbz Tue 05 Jun 2012, 4:05 pm

Yeah Russia are so good they have to fill up their league with foreign has-beens after a final pay day.

by mystiroakey Tue 05 Jun 2012, 4:06 pm

At least we have a league.

by Liam Tue 05 Jun 2012, 4:12 pm

I'll join and have a team please.

by Il Gialloblu Tue 05 Jun 2012, 4:22 pm

Nice one martyr. The missus chose number 2... you get Greece.

by mystiroakey Tue 05 Jun 2012, 4:23 pm

haha greece- the luckiest team on the planet- lightning doesnt strike twice

You embarrass yourself with your ignorance mystiroakski and as I've already said us Paddies are only there for the craic. It's win, win for us boys.

Haha - shamrock rovers plus a couple of pub teams!! haha. Your team is soft it drinks guiness. Us Russians fill our water bottles with vodka. thats a real mans drink

by Liam Tue 05 Jun 2012, 4:28 pm

We are going down the pan atm but by God we'll do it like its 2004 all over again. You English complain about 'Negative' tactics, but to us its like watching Spain play!

by Hibbz Tue 05 Jun 2012, 4:30 pm

Oh yeah all the men in the pubs are drinking vodka and coke and those smirnoff ice thingies aren't they?

Besides, the best vodka comes from potatoes anyway.

by mystiroakey Tue 05 Jun 2012, 4:38 pm

Potato vodka yeah, dont use em all up, you lads need to eat.

We drink vodka straight pal, or with ginger. You paddies are to influenced on all things american. Coke is for overweight liberals or democrats

We beat up italy 3-0 the other day in a canter- we are world beaters

by JamesLincs Tue 05 Jun 2012, 5:05 pm

ukraine!.. ukraine!.. ukraine!.. ukraine! ..ukraine!.. ukraine!

by Dave. Tue 05 Jun 2012, 9:12 pm

Allez les bleus, allez les blues.

Loike, totally, loike Len Store are Euro chomps, loike totally.

No reason the real Les Bleus won't win either....

by **owen10ozzy** Tue 05 Jun 2012, 9:46 pm

If there are teams left then count me in. Fantastic idea...im like the El Hadji Diouf of the sweepstake world! No loyalties to any club or team, a dislike for all others unless they can in some way financially aid me in which case im your best mate...and a self assured swagger & belief in my insane god like attributes I have been given! Yes thats right GOD like!!

''Whats that your game is full?...Im crap and have never been any good? How dare you, this idea of a game you have come up with is rubbish! you insolent son of a ... oh I can be involved in this game..fantastic..where do I sign up I love the idea...
