The Criteria Draft - The Drafts

Thanks v much mate. You up to scratch with everything that is going on? Or do you need to be filled in?

Naa. I am fine.

Its just that I have no idea which players MJJ selected for which criteria. Lets see.
 
Nope, but if he did I'm quitting.

Can I PM someone my pick? Heading out for a few hours.
You can PM your 2nd pick if you want. That way if your pick is taken it won't stall us and Dunc won't see that pick in case your 1st pick is good.

edit: nevermind :p
 
Surprising because Brwned is usually the calm one and doesn't involve himself in controversies.

He didn't, Brwned was chilled out. Antohan was the one who blew his lid, accused him of being Stalin and promoting censorship.

:lol: Just seen it's been posted

@Aldo

Love Buffon, great pick.

What was the criteria?
 
He didn't, Brwned was chilled out. Antohan was the one who blew his lid, accused him of being Stalin and promoting censorship.
Go on Theon. Don't keep it all bottled in. Let it out. Tell Anto you're real feelings. Don't let Brwned be put down like that.

Not sure what you're talking about mate!

Anto is a dick, but I dunno what you're on about with Brwned.
 
Naa. I am fine.

Its just that I have no idea which players MJJ selected for which criteria. Lets see.

Start a convo, I can get you up to speed on what he thought was his remaining criteria (the important shit), then work out how the others qualify under the rest.

I've no idea what this is about, but notice you are in a jocular mood today. Good.
 
Seems like the ignore function is still working very well :lol:.

Just playing a bit with matches. Just need Brwned here to comment so I can turn him against Theon and we've got ourselves a nice little Mexican stand-off.
 
Come on @MJJ, it's a cracking side and by no means anything you can't come back from. I actually thought Popescu was the wrong pick full stop TBH, whether he qualified or not.

I know its a good side and as we discussed in pms, I can easily finish it as I wanted to even with the sheep. I just think its unfair I get punished for something but others are allowed to change their picks, with no real reason behind it. Would rather not play in a draft that discriminates like that.

Naa. I am fine.

Drop me a pm if you are still struggling, oh and if you want @manikandan nair is a pretty good AM.

Nah, we all laugh about it but I think it is best left behind us, one of those momentary combustion things but I think he is a bit fed up with their regularity in the mains and I can't say I disagree.

feckin hell. Side you wake up on today Rosa ?
 
There's no sense in making much more of this business - if MJJ wants to quit, that's his business and we have a replacement.

But it's simply not true that he has been unfairly treated. His case was NOT like the other instances where people have changed their picks. It was clearly a different sort of situation.

The same thing happend to me over Albertini which stopped me from getting Costacurta but it was my own fault so I never complained.

Please explain how it was different from the paceme situation.

No one else wanted popescu so its not like it had any impact on their sides which seems to be the main flawed argument.

Aye - I don't recall the exact circumstances there, whether someone else picked before I came in to spoil the party (couldn't have been many picks at any rate), but if you had requested to withdraw the pick after the mistake was pointed out, you might have been granted that.

What happened with the Popescu business was entirely different. MJJ didn't state what category he intended the player for - and so nobody said anything, how could they? Then several hours later, after the round had ended and who knows how many picks had been made in the meantime, the situation was brought up. It was, again, a completely different situation than any of the other instances.
 
What am I missing here? What did MJJ and paceme do?
MJJ picked Pupesco for a criteria he couldn't use him at, than a round and a half later found out and wanted to replace him, most people said he should get a sheep because it's his fault, than paceme picked Martinez for under 30 caps, people suggested that he doesn't fit there, and paceme was allowed to change his pick because he changed it before the next guy changed it. MJJ got mad and left.
 
What am I missing here? What did MJJ and paceme do?

MJJ made a pick for a criteria the player didn't fill, he chose to not state said criteria, a few managers picked thereafter and it was decided he couldn't change his pick.

Paceme did the same but stated the criteria, KM corrected him and because no one else had picked it was decided, as with previous drafts that he could change his pick as such.

You keep missing the key point here - which is that you did not state that you wanted Popescu for the "outside the top 30" category. If you had done that, people would have pointed it out - and you would've gotten your chance to withdraw the pick (as others have per a gentlemen's agreement of sorts).
