The Criteria Draft - The Drafts

Look, mate - the problem is that you didn't list which criterion you had in mind for Popescu. If you'd stated that it was "country outside the top 30" people would've pointed out the mistake - and you would've been allowed to change it. It's happened several times already - as long as you change your pick right away when the error is discovered, there's no issue - gentlemen's agreement and all that.

But you didn't bring up the Popescu situation until after the round - and after multiple managers had made their picks. It's really not the same thing, mate.
I am thankful you pointed out about Albertini not counting as winning the league because i would o got to the end of the drat and would of been handicapped.

Started on this page but a lot of posts were deleted by Brwned in the aftermath so stuff is missing. Basically he picked Toure to play as a DM and then in the following discussion everyone told him he's not great defensively to play there and he wanted to change his pick after a couple of players had been picked, which generated a great controversy ending in anto calling him Stalin for deleting posts that had the discussion and what not. :lol:
 
@KM the difference is that someone checked paceme's pick straight after he did and nobody did the same for @MJJ when he made his pick, so it's not really the same, just bad luck nobody cared he picked Popescu

But he never stated WHY he picked Popescu - so there was no need for anyone to point out anything. Popescu also played in three countries - he could've picked him for that for all we knew.

...or as part of a combo for that matter.

Err because he didn't state the criteria under which he picked Popescu?

And crappy wasn't even online yet to make sure the rules are followed as closely as possible :lol:
 
@MJJ Take a breather, mate - forget about this shite for a while, your turn ain't coming up for a good while yet. Surely this isn't worth quitting the game over?
 
On a completely different note - how do you tag people who only have two letters in their names? Can't get that to work.

@Edgar Allan Pillow
 
@MJJ To be fair, I would actually be mildly (only mildly) interested in Popescu. Until I realized he was top 30.
 
The winning the league rule in the combo 8&9 criteria, does that include if they have won a second tier league like The Championship?
 
Di Maria is a great pick and i had him planned until i ( well Chesterlestreet ) fecked myself over with Albertini not qualifying for 8 and 9.
