The Fourth RedCafe Sheep Draft
- Thread starter The Stain
- Start date
So brutal that. The sheep I was thinking of were a lot better than this.
Hehe.
Well, it doesn't really matter as long as there's a standard. Wiki is generally shite but as a standard for a criterion like this, I suppose it does as well as any other (would have been different for an actual football related stat, like caps or whathaveya).
Like I said, though, Wiki lacks info on quite a few players (especially older ones, unsurprisingly). Generally, for older players, I suspect that other sites (which do list height) use less than scientific sources: Some of 'em have probably just guessed the player's height roughly, based on footage.
They will join the bench in any case since we can pick 14 players at the end.
All picks/sheep are now in if you look at the teams.
its very difficult that someone will get 4 sheeps, think it would be smart to implement a rule that you have to field at least one sheep unless you dont have any in the squad.
@antohan would you be able to take a look at the convo please as I've got a question that needs answering before I can make my pick
Yeah no point in a sheep draft if you can leave all of them on the bench
EDIT: Then again we don't know the criteria so there could be rounds were lots of sheep are going to happen meaning we could end up with loads.
A MAXIMUM of 14. You will have been very lucky to get 14 players, let me tell you..
You are assuming you are in full control of the other picks.
Blocked is clear. Fail could be many things (e.g. protected player, shithead on you...).
Shithead on you 
Cmon people, throw some shitheads around.

Anto doesn't like me it seems 
Ffs was asleep.
Threadbanned for harassing poor shepherd folk. Tour's over, boyo! ಠ╭╮ಠ
West Germany never officially existed. It was always the Federal Republic of Germany after the war and it still is the same now, no matter what it's called in common tongue. The unification wasnt a process of creating a new country, it was just East Germany joining the Federal Republic of Germany, accepting the already existing laws, currency and name.
The official unification contract between the two countries always talks about the accession of East Germany. Here's an English translation:

It's a bit like saying the USA were a different country before Hawaii became part of it. Sounds stupid, in my opinion, but I've argued the case before.
I'll need a bit of time.
Same .. why did you tag me after R2 results?
The deadline is for 11 am on 26th or 27th Feb?
I'll take Boris' place or AM with someone.
Same .. why did you tag me after R2 results?
All results are posted at fixed times, so tags aren't needed.
AM with crappy or MJJ.. Actually MJJ.
@MJJ - PM me ya slag.
R2 results?
Hang on.
Weren't they, in a way? I mean what is America without Hawaiian shirts, aloha and five-o?
This is a football forum mate. AFAIC countries are those recognised by FIFA, everything else is geopolitical bollocks.
People could carry on about kingdoms, statelets, occupation, etc. otherwise.
Yeah, but the same applies to how FIFA recognises the German nationalteam and its history. Footballers from East Germany were simply allowed to play for the German nationalteam after a certain date while the East German nationalteam was dissolved. Fair enough, if you want to treat it differently, but it doesn't make any sense to me.
That being said, I'm looking forward to Joga building a team around Lothar. So I'm not really bothered by him missing out on one of the older players.
Aye, but the whole point - precisely in a football/draft context - is that the FA remains the same throughout the geopolitical changes. So, while Matthäus played for both "West Germany" and "Germany", he nevertheless represented the same national team/federation.
Balu is right: "West Germany" and "Germany" aren't two different football teams.
balu, when are you going to play again?
Probably neverbalu, when are you going to play again?
Trying so hard to stay awake to see these results. But I'm definitely beginning to struggle!

That's FIFA politics. They should have had you resetting the trophy count. Then you would only have as many WCs as England
Good things come to those who wait.
Worked nights last night and not been sleep yet. Need some hours before the final so glad to have passed!
Looks like pure and simple straightforward tactics of picking the most obvious have worked again
Happy with my choice too though

Already see yourself in the final? It's R2!
