I've never counted home/away if teams don't play twice in a season tbh

Do we not play twice in a season? Well the home advantage didn't have a massive part to play in any games and the overall result wouldn't have been different but maybe the scoreline at worst. Take out home advantage and most were fairly accurate.

Home advantage doesn't count in results, we don't play home and away fixtures

Exactly what Azzy said. We play once and there are no home or away teams.

na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye

I hear the fat lady beginning her vocal warmup.

In fairness I never put that in the rules

So it's all your fault

No need to put basic common sense in the rules. Although I guess you can't stipulate for people having / not having intelligence.

FL - I'm going to put this bluntly. When you signed up, we agreed it would be on the basis that everyone got along and you didn't cause problems. It may not be deliberate, or even knowingly, and you might be just bing yourself.

However problems we have from you being around.

I may not speak for everyone, but my feeling is that we might be better as a league if you stepped aside and moved on.

Thanks for your time and giving it a go, but it clearly isn't working.

And on the flip side, when we started the league and decided to take it in turns to vote, we also agreed that we would respect each persons votes, however strongly we disagree with their opinion.

My views echo that of Afro's.
At present there's friction in the league and in every instance it points back to FL. Sorry FL but there's just something about you that rubs people up the wrong way, hopefully sooner rather than later you'll realise the problem is not with everyone else but yourself.

To be fair, i didn't spot carrick's injury and i wrote the tactics.

I don't think all the other managers would have spotted it.

Is this what it is? Every time I come into a league my reputation goes against me and then everything piles up on me? People are disagreeing with results, that's the way it is. That doesn't cause arguments. Its very rare on here that we'll see both managers happy with a result, it just doesn't add up.

But I think its very harsh for you to throw the blame's of any arguments onto me. The only other argument was me and Tino, that's gone, well gone now. Like I said, there will always be a disagreement in results, always. I sometimes get a little annoyed about results myself, but I don't go out there and through the toys out of the pam that easily because I know its just a game.

You lot say I start the arguments, so I take it this one will be my doing as well? Its just a set of results, why is there even a need to get so hasty? In fact if there are arguments from this, yourselves are to blame. I've actually got work, with no access to this site through the day and barely any free time on my own PC and you've been nagging me all week for the results. I guess that's my fault as well then?

I have nothing against you personally, i have no issue with the results nor the fact that an injury was missed. In fact the latter is down to Trebs as he should list his injuries in his tactics for you to see. But friction does seem to follow you around and you have to ask yourself what is the common factor each time.

And I am trying to come at it from your perspective. You can't enjoy any of the tension otherwise you wouldn't write three paragraphs each time.

So what's the argument then? I'm just saying its pretty unfair to point the finger at me for all the arguments in this league and to be fair, there has been very little. 2 to my reckoning. That might be a lot for the league but its not as if its affecting the league because I'm never on during the day anyway so there is no tension. I've probably spent a maximum of 6 hours on the site this week, so how the arguments can be blamed at e, I'll just never know.

Also, typing out 3 paragraphs never bothers me really. I personally like writing a lot.

No one is blaming you for the arguments. They are saying there is friction and it appears to follow you around.

And we said when you joined that we were giving you a chance and would see how it goes.

At the moment it isn't going well.

Simple choice is basically Nando who's been part of this for countless years is integral to it continuing, he's refusing to take part of you remain. Therefore it's adios FL.

What in particularly do you mean then? If I'm not causing arguments, for one that is a good thing at least, what is the problem? I've noticed no friction at all apart from the results this weekend and if that's all your going off then I'd hardly say it isn't going well because like I said there will always be discontentment between managers and voters.

On the flip side, I understand I have caused arguments when people explain why before but I always defend me own corner naturally. So I do understand the fact that I won't be able to see the friction, but I feel if its understandable then I will just accept it and move on if that's what your after. But I am enjoying my time in the league and I need a good enough explanation really.

Also, just a suggestion, maybe this should be done the way it initially was if we can't find a conclusion between us. Just do a vote. And please don't hold any grudges because of previous transfer deals/results etc.

So why does Fernando have something against me? Is it because of the result or what because I'd hardly call it a full blown argument like I've experienced in the past before so why not just talk about and get on with it. I came here with a purpose to prove I'm not a trouble causer and obviously I won't see it that way but legitimately I don't really see any problem, again though needs explaining.

I've already PMd a number of people in the league, all of which thought it was best to cut you lose.

How can you prove this without knowing that your lying? Me and you have had slight conflict in leagues before, nothing too heated but I'm not sure whether your still holding grudges on my previous leagues failures when you worked hard to build your teams.

Also I still don't know what the argument is for and it now feels like you have been wanting to get shut of me since minute 1 otherwise Fernando would have told me the problem along with you lot and it could have been resolved.

There's 5 people so far that want you gone in the league, a majority. Just show some dignity and call it a day.

Show some dignity? Show me an explanation for the problem? Your kicking me out for no reason? Lets be truthful here Hero, Fernando probably doesn't want me to be out of the league, I'd be guessing you do because you'd be holding some sort of grudge against me. Lets be honest with ourselves here, what exactly have I done? What catastrophic event have I caused this time?

As seen in the results thread...

And we can't find a machete big enough

I'll give you a simple choice FL
Post one more reply in here and I'll ban you from the site, your IPs (including your ones at school that you post from just after 3:30 every day) will also be banned so you can't create a new alias which you've done before and pretended to be a friend.
Or you can show a little pride in yourself when the game is lost, walk away never to look back and you're free to post on the rest of the site (well until the football forum section get marked off with you)
Balls in your court.

Ok, this isn't a reply to get me off the site I hope but I will stay away. Just offering it out now as a friendly gesture, would you like me to do Basel tactics for this week to save some hassle?
Secondly, if you must know, I do work close to a school, but not in school and I've never posted in school/out of school because I simply don't go there as I've said for the millionth time now. You can prove that all you like, but the only ever time I've come on here was on my phone once next to the school as I was walking to a bus stop. Just letting that out there as it is, the truth, ok.
Finally, you obviously are showing you hold some sort of grudge with me and I cba getting involved in another argument with you about very little and even still Fernando, you haven't really explained why your having a go at me.

Either way, I've said what I have to say, that's me done for it. Hopefully, you will keep me on the site because I want to stay for just general reasons of posting elsewhere and again, I'll offer my final services for tactics so just let me know. Thanks for my short-lived time here and the explanation also.

R.I.P FootballLight

January 2015 - March 2015

A career full of controversy.

I wasn't asked but given I've already had to punt FL after 1 week...

Could you step into the breach GSC?

Morning all.

I don't like this treatment of footballlight if i'm honest.

It was either FL or Nando.

I'm not sure FL did very much wrong apart from rub people up the wrong way.

But in my defence, I just made the suggestion he move on as it seemed clear to me that it wasn't working well enough.

So if another manager doesn't spot an injury, should they be kicked? Others have made that mistake before.

I don't think that was why.

I think that tipped Nando over tge edge but there was already friction before this weeks games

Genuinely saw nothing wrong with footballlight before this week.

If i'm the only one of this opinion, fine. But i don't think it's right.

My take on the situation:

- I actually quite like FL. He has good opinions on the game and on the league. He was keen for us to try new things, to improve. And until this week, there didn't appear to be any issue with him at all, from anyone.
- Nando had an Azzy. Seriously, a massive Azzy. But he did have a point. FL's voting was a disgrace, and not the results themselves, but the rationale behind them. The voter HAS to check injuries. It's why they're the voter that week, THEY are the person that checks all is above board. To then say Nando would not have won anyway? That's Dark FL, the FL that made enemies on ja606.
- I had no problem with the results themselves, bar Nando's, but FL's argumentative and confrontational stance since being questioned has firmly put me into the same corner I was before he joined the league. He just cannot get on with a group of people.
- All of this is of course pot = kettle, as I myself am a lunatic, but I'm not on trial this week

Am now hoping that the FA throw the book at the Villa scumbags who endangered lives at the weekend. And to the Wolves fans who nearly killed the Watford fan.

Morning

May 2005, West Brom 2-0 Portsmouth. After the final whistle your fans ran into the pitch. I was there with my Baggies supporting friend. You don't say anything about that do you Mahmood. Where did Villa fans endanger your lot? If anything it was A west brom fan that threw a chair at Villa fans.

Morning. I was there as well, with my Villa supporting friend. In that instance, the game ended, the players came off the pitch, no fan entered the field of play until the game had ended and players were off the pitch. Albion's players decided to stay on the pitch to celebrate once the news come through.

And where was I? Sat in the stands. I refused to go on the pitch. If you could get the CCTV of it, I might have been the only person (with my mate) left in the stand (Brummie Road stand fyi).

And the danger was in the Villa fans attacking Albion players, as happened to Callum McManaman. There is clear footage and images of him being assaulted by one Villa fan, and of other Villa fans protecting him to get him to safety.

Villa's own captain said he was BITTEN by one of his own fans. Had items of clothing taken from his body.

It was exactly like 1980s hooliganism all over again and, to be frank, we are very lucky lives weren't lost.

+1

I get Hero's stance, but common sense would have at least suggested we get to the end of the season first and reassess if so many are against him.

(For the record I only read Hero's PM 5 mins ago )

I think Heros stance was a bit harsh personally.

I think Hero is mucho sexy and I can't wait to give his team an easy win in results this week*.

Speaking of which, tactics by midnight, results will be done by 12pm tomorrow. No tactics by then = default win for the other team.






















*not really, but it pays to suck up to the brass...

Afro wrote:I think Heros stance was a bit harsh personally.

I agree. But I get where he's coming from.

I think it's cutting your nose off to spite your face, I'm sure we could have gotten to the end of the season.

Nando was pretty adamant so we would have been one manager down anyway

Hero wrote:Could you step into the breach GSC?

Temporarily at most

Don't forget champions league predictions this week guys. Winner gets FL'S best player for free.

Also, all the Portsmouth fans joined the Albion fans on the pitch. It was a love-fest. We had just relegated their arch rivals, who had poached their manager during the season. They wanted us to win as much as we did, and the atmosphere was like Woodstock rather than the London riots. Quite unlike Villa's behaviour.

I think its all nadeems fault.. He didn't tell me mr. Carrick was injured and mr. Light has made a mistake. He is the real enemy.

True. Although FL did sell me an injured player and I spotted it, so maybe you're the enemy?

Yeah its my fault guys. I'll quit instead so nando and FL can stay. Bye.
