All in.
The First Redcafe Sheep Draft

Glad we all share the same view guys. And yeah, the European nights were special. At times Giggs seemed our only real weapon against that mighty Juve side. They were petrified of him.
Edit: Here we go!

That's the 26-year-old Giggs of 99 though, isn't it? Great season, clearly, but I thought Tito was going on about the one that played pre-fledglings (and probably greatly influenced SAF in betting on them "kids").
Really looking forward to this, will be a mixture of brutal and great joy for some! Just no idea where it will go though.
There will be 2-3 sides passing the first round with a real gem of a player, no doubt.
Who though?
Who though?
Yeah I was on about the one who burst onto the scenes. Pre fledglings like you say. But still had those glimpses throughout the 90s, less and less, almost saving them for European nights. That Juve I was had in mind was 1997 I think.
Maybe I can give an hour or so if someone wants to switch after seeing the discussions and reveal?
Really puts the set rules into thrash, though.

Oh yeah, those were the occasional sightings of what he initially expected to see week in, week out. It's funny how when he came through I thought he would have everything Boniek had but with a wee bit more teeth at the end of it. Then he too turned into a European "bello di notte".

You just want us to start fecking around with our picks, don't you?

I'd suggest maybe making a slight amendment to the first round pick rule Aldo. That is that you can change your pick up until the last person has picked and the point where you then say no more.
Stop picking Bundesliga players, I need those . I'm going for most German team ever here, ffs. You can have the one, the great one, that I dislike so much, the other one is mine though and I won't change my pick.

Ooh interesting. I love a bit of classic Red Star.

I noticed, have your best German side handy for reference 
That's what we did with Pick 2 and 3 last round.
See, I can change it to that, but then as anto mentioned it requires me to be online the whole time which isn't possible so in some cases there would be delays.
If we are doing this then we can have a flat out rule for all picks : 24 hours or when I get all picks - whichever happens first.
Nah, ripping into Inter and Juve was 99, he just carried on with Juve into the noughties so that's why it may look like ages before 99.
What best German side? I don't remember ever doing one
.Fine by me, with the different timezones it seems we have enough time to debate anyhow. In fact, many aren't reading/looking for hints even in the fast-track mode so why add even more "content"?
Yeah, pretty much that in bold.

Bayern then? The one where you banged on about the underrated foot specialist manufacturer.
Fine then, I did expect a lot of midway changes to rules. This being the first one was bound to be experimental.
Initially I followed the same rules from the one I played in but different forum, different people, different levels of activity, different rules.

Yeah, i remember them games in the same season, but this was before that even. Every european game at Old Trafford for about 4-5 seasons he just seemed to come alive.
You're doing a great job by the way!
I don't get the foot specialist manufacturer reference (as usual)
, but yes the one is truely underrated, I'm going to make him a star here, if I get the chance later. No one commented on my post though , seems like Bayern are the most boring big club out there. Only few players from that team are eligible btw. and a truely important one is already blocked because of your Romario revenge . Thought about a Bayern theme, but threw that out of the window when some of you decided to block Lizarazu . I need a bigger pool of players or I'm lost.Yeah, it seems most are addicted so we may as well accommodate that. 24hs or whenever all picks are in + picks can be changed until the last one is in sounds like the way forward.
Yeah it has flexibility too, that you know you can still take as long as you wish (up to 24 hours), but it does encourage the picking to move swiftly enough along, and so not as much time wasted.
Beautiful at night, like anto said. Think it was around 94-98 when we were constantly frustrated by sides in Europe. Especially Juve who were superb around that time. But Giggs ripped into them. You could see why the big Italian sides of the time were desperate to sign him.

That's why I never replied to that post, hehe, it was all part of the execution. Ask Aldo, I told him I wasn't having this non-cooperative "I never change my picks" shit and I would hurt you were I knew it would hurt the most to make you climb down from that nonsense. You were simply never going to have him. Would have been better if I got him and you just pined along as with Neeskens, although that would have been a bit too evil, wouldn't it? Now you know how it felt not to get O Baixinho
This is going to a very interesting round of picking

Add it to the fish picture then, and never ever again say you need to be more simplistic to understand me
It's actually quite bleeding obvious though, walk into any apotheke and you will see his name all over the foot care section.The funny thing is, I completely misunderstood your first post about him, I thought you were talking about Müller all along, no idea why. I didn't think about Lahm at all until Annah talked me into a Bayern/German theme. You simply got lucky there, but yeah, I miss him, really sucks, so like I said before, well playedThat's why I never replied to that post, hehe, it was all part of the execution.

There is one Bayern player I would love to get, though. The good thing is that Balu wouldn't get him.

It was something along the lines of: "Can play left, right or centrally. A real diamond this chap". Thought it was obvious after the Lord of the Diamonds picture discussion.
It was 'lord of the triangles'
Only one?

Oh god, what an idiot. Of course
Must have got mixed up with all that poisoned chalice diamond guy thing
