I'll be on in 15 for the United game
Sheep draft QF - NM vs Cutch
- Thread starter Balu
- Start date
No can do. Still on phone and on way to beach.
@Theon, you could have Gattuso doing all you wanted Scirea to do in midfield, Scirea as an improvement on Rio and still coming forth to start moves, and Zé - Carlos making it double trouble for Pupi. All it requires is CA not attacking but tucking in. Good deal IMO.

Sorry guys, no can do! Fascinating game though!
I can do the penalties, can't promise a funny show though
17-16 to 16-16? Another manufactured draw 
You got the job!
Why 17-16 ? It was 16-15 until antohan voted or did I miss something?17-16 to 16-16? Another manufactured draw
Yeah. You can't take back a vote
DDG gonna be working over time again today it seems
I checked about 2 minutes before the end and it was 17-16.
Wrong thread? But yes, United is pretty awful so far, but shouldn't you be used to it by now? Everytime I've seen United this season, it was unbearable to watch.DDG gonna be working over time again today it seems
@Cutch good game. I was leading when I went to bed. Penalties it is then.
Weird, but it's not possible to take votes back. You can try it in the game between Joga and Boris, if you want to. If you click on change your vote, you can select again, but if you don't do it, it goes back to your original vote. So I'm not sure what happened there. I never saw a 17th vote for anyone though.
Actually, I was always going to vote NM here but I was wary about this whole "vote discounting" Annah was on about. It would have effectively given him a lead he didn't actually have. Once it was clarified it would stand I voted, although by then you had taken a lead.17-16 to 16-16? Another manufactured draw
It's been a draw or +1 for either throughout, nothing manufactured about the outcome.
Why is + 1 censored?
If you find out, tell me. I wondered about that a few times already.
Because there was a time when several people quoted a post and just did "PLUS ONE" as a way of agreeing with it.
Forgive my lack of enthusiasm, think ive lost in the last 3 of these on penalties.
@antohan if you read the thread I clearly posted that I was going to sleep. Plus your tagging of my did not work (for whatever reason) so I didn't ignore you.
Why Gattuso?
1. He's a personal favorite.
2. Cutch had immense start power in midfield. The sacn voters would have penalized me for Ze Roberto.
I really think we explained our tactics and position a lot more than Cutch and it actually hurt us. Nobody bothered asking him to defend his weakness, yet we were asked more questions because we were active in the thread.
Not a complaint - just an observation.

I'm the unluckiest man you'll meet buddy. I'm sure today is your day.
Why didn't they just ban the idiots instead? FREE + 1!!!!
Cutch's team was pretty straight forward though. And questions about his midfield were asked a lot. He didn't really have tactical decisions to make with his team, while you could have lined up in a million different ways.
That was because I didn't argue that Platini would likely be a big influence on the game. Balu, Viva and a few others I'm sure voted for you for this reason. I think they thought this meant I was leaving him unattended but this wasn't the case either.
Correct, but that shouldn't hurt me should it? Votes should be about what's on the field, rather than what could be.
This isn't directed at you obviously.
Fair enough. Still reckon he would run riot though. You sending the penalties in?
Why do you think it did hurt you? I'd argue one of the main reasons why Cutch lost is because he didn't find enough time to argue his case, his advantage on the wings went totally under the radar in my opinion. It's not necessarily bad if your team is more discussed than the opponent.
You can choose between R , L and C for shoot and save
If a shooter is shooting R, it's a save if Keeper goes L
And if he shoots C, it's save if Keeper goes C
Oops, yes of course, my bad.
You name 5 of your players to take penalties and tell @crappycraperson if you want them to shoot to the left, middle or right. Then you tell your goalkeeper if you want him to go to the left, middle or right for the 5 penalties. @Cutch does the same. If for example Cutch's player shoots left and your goalkeeper jumps right, the penalty is saved. player shoots right, goalkeeper left is a save and both in the middle obviously as well.
Basically you just send a list:
Players
1. playername - L,R or C
2. playername - L,R or C
3. playername - L,R or C
4. playername - L,R or C
5. playername - L,R or C
Goalkeeper:
1. L,R or C
2. L,R or C
3. L,R or C
4. L,R or C
5. L,R or C
...?
Well, the draw was what it should have been, and I'm glad the winner will be decided by luck rather than which team was better. This should be a good pep-up for me after the miserable draw in real life...
My penalties are in. Were in during the match
Mine are in long ago
Wouldn't mind a bit of penalties after that match...
Fair enough. That is reasonable, I guess his midfield had the edge offensively whilst yours was stronger defensively. However, I do agree that Platini was better set up to shine than Charlton here.
