Retro Football Fantasy Championship

I'm also advocating a before-match drinking contest, keeping with the spirit of the eighties. As Big Norm will be the only guy left standing, I'll win every match by default
 
I would go with the rules as originally stated where you can cherry-pick players from losing teams.

Polaroid - in terms of the voting, I agree with the desire to keep votes 'honest'. But just a little concerned that if half the managers cannot vote in half the group games, we're not going to get a lot of votes for some of these games. With the best will in the world, we're not going to get inundated with votes especially at these early stages. While I agree with no votes for games in your group, I wouldn't extend it any further than that. Thoughts?
 
my thought is that we should open a poll both in the mains as well as in the newbies (Brwned can do that) and ask them to vote too, so as to get more votes.

i guess i'll pick Riccardo Ferri

I think if we put them in the general they'll get loads more votes.
 
Ah well, there is always Venison...or how about Ali Dia? I doubt anyone has ever had access to his birth certificate, but we wouldn't mind you foregoing the age rule

i'm going to forego the redcafe rules and punch you in the nose
 
I am pleased to pick Santiago Cañizares, one of the top 3 goalkeepers in the world during the turn of the millennium :D

canizares.jpg

Surprised he lasted so long. Still a couple of very useful keepers kicking about though.
 
Gio, could you tell me why you picked Alemao rather than Whiteside? Genuinely interested, seeing as you are old enough to have seen Big Norm ply his trade, so for a Man United fan to favour Alemao ahead of him (though they didnt really have the same role) is bewildering.

I've got Norm in front of me now - it won't be possible. And if I'm successful with my next pick, no one will get close to my dugout to assault me

I live for the day when I'll thwart you like you just thwarted me. I know exactly who you want to pick, his height, his birthplace.

And another thing I know is that I'll pick him from under your bleeding nose.

Watch this space :mad:

Forgot about Whiteside - probably because I'm not a United fan. To my cost I'd imagine as he's probably going to be a vote-winner. That said, quite impressed that a Brazilian midfielder with 40 caps or so in Alemao was available at that stage of the competition.

Okay, didnt think you could forget about anyone seeing as you're one of the most football-savvy posters on this board..

You're a Rangers fan then right? Fair play

How high would you rate my Scottish right-back Steve Nicol? Would you have picked him given the chance?
 
Whiteside was a pretty decent forward before Sparky turned up. Nicol was best right back in the league in the late 80s


BTW I'm picking Maradona on my next pick
 
I picked players knowing that if I got through the group stages I would get two more and so forth, I'd be annoyed if it changed because people didn't read the rules through.

Yes, keep it as it is I say.

Snow's proposal does not pass through, the rules stay as they are.

You have a valid point, Gio. Although i am more inclined towards eliminating the possibility of pre-selecting quarter-final opponents through vote manipulation in the 3rd round of group matches, I welcome more views on this and am prepared to go along with your suggestion if the others are in favour.

my thought is that we should open a poll both in the mains as well as in the newbies (Brwned can do that) and ask them to vote too, so as to get more votes.

That is a good suggestion

I think if we put them in the general they'll get loads more votes.

If the mods deem it appropriate, I would welcome that to widen the net for votes

Surprised he lasted so long. Still a couple of very useful keepers kicking about though.

I was very surprised too. If not for a bottle of aftershave robbing his starting place in the World Cup Finals of 2002, he will probably have a much higher profile
 
Once the drafting is complete (all managers have picked their squad of 12 players), the 16 teams will be allocated into 4 groups (A, B, C, D) using Random Group Creator

Would a neutral non-participant be able to help with the draw? Pat Mustard or Duffer? Thanks in advance. Please disclose the draw only after the draft is completed ie all 16 teams have picked their squad of 12 players

The 16 teams are
DanNistelrooy
IBleedRed
Polaroid
Team Brian GB
K Stand Knut
Ralaks
Cal?
TheHorse'sMouth
KM
Desert Eagle
Crustanoid
Nani Nana

Roberto

Roberto Fernandez Bonillo. Has more than 700 career appearances. Most notably for Barcelona, Valencia and Spain. Hard working central midfielder who also scored goals.
He'll fit nicely next to Koeman in my Man Utd style team.

roberto.jpg
 
Vitor Baia

One of the few remaining international class goalkeepers, and will form a good relationship with Couto at centre-half.

Yeah Nicol's a good call, player of the year if I remember rightly - which is a very rare achievement for a full-back. Scottish lads aren't all that sexy - despite it being a strong era for our players - which is why I haven't picked the likes of Collins, Gough, Lambert and Goram. Even though there's plenty of quality in there, e.g. Scotland were essentially 5th at Euro 92.

Aye not a biggie, after all you'll be more familiar with how these things operate.

Alexei Mikhailichenko

A regular nominee for the Ballon D'Or, the Russian attacking midfielder was 4th in 1988.

Ion Andoni Goikoetxea

One of the backbones of Barcelona's Dream Team. Very versatile player. Fits in well with my other Spaniards. I don't understand why he hasn't been picked. Played for one of the best team in the 80's. Was a Spanish international and is one of the most versatile players that's been picked.
