Happy Birthday Sean mate, have a great day, wish I were 17 again

You could be Zac Efron then

Each to their own, he made the decision, i followed his request did speak via pm first see if were definitive so really nothing to do with anyone else.

Yeah was just some advice, but considering you have more than enough players it won't hurt if you have to constantly sub him out of games, just seems a bit pointless been in a clan if a heavy defeat puts you off you're next match!!

I understand what you are saying but tbh it wasn't more the result but more the way the result and game come about. He suggested for the 'good of the team', it be best he were subbed out vs punkpoet, which i questioned and verified were definitive. I completely respect and appreciate an honest decision, putting the team before themselves. He is still very much part of this team and will continue to play and represent Phoenix Storm.

I thank him (pix_up_trix) for not just playing a match when not happy with their own game.

Playing a match just for the sake of it, when unhappy with own game is not how we roll here, all players are TEAM players. We win, lose, draw as a team but also don't go down without a fight, that's what makes and keeps us UNIQUE.

Yeah we now have a huge team, more selections, more versatile and also brings that element of unpredictability. Obviously all players here like the challenges ahead and will remain together for a long time to come.

'the spirit of the Phoenix'

so you know, it's not because I lost that I requested the sub.
As ash said, it's how I lost.
I played Ray recently and beat him fairly comfortably, so it's not that I lack the ability. Just no justification for an onslaught like that. Not to take anything away from Raymond...
He did play very well.
I just don't want it said that I am a sore loser, that's not the case. I just feel slightly cheated, and it's escalated as was meant to be representing a team.
Just couldn't hit a ball in a straight line.

While stepped down, I'll be trying to free up some memory, scans, updates, etc. see if I can't get the game running smoother, but am pretty sure it's not my laptop.

Yes but what is making everybody post, is because there's still 11 days in the fixture, mate. So why've you asked to be subbed out when you could've had time out and still play in the last week or so?

That's what everyone is getting at...

No one elses business, it were yesterday...old news...the subs made end of. Yes 11 days to go, but what I think people are forgetting is he had arranged to play your captain last night. So to be subbed out than make up 'convenient' reasons for why he couldn't play is better for all.

Zac's just sweating as last time he played davy he lost 12-3 or 13-2, hopefully more of the same would be nice (hehe). If were anyone else like myself then he wouldn't be making much of a fuss.

End of the matter.

Because..
The problem isn't my ability.
It's not that I lack practice. It's not even that i have 'bad luck'.
After all this is just software.
The reason I stepped down, is because the shot accuracy was completely out of my hands. I'm pointing no names, nor naming fingers. I cannot say for certain what the cause is.
It's unfair on the team, if every game I play, I'm fighting more than just the opponent. (theoretical as no evidence)
EDIT: that sounds like I'm blaming staff... I'm not. (just to clarify)

Well it is 'convenient' he's been subbed out. He could've just apologised to Zac and asked if they could reschedule....We both know Zac's not that unreasonable lol.

I'm not having a go or trying to get into an argument here,Ash, was just trying to explain to trix why people have bemoaned the sub and him a little. And understandably so

I have to admit, I know where you're coming from. The past couple of days, my overall rank has gone down nearly 20 points and I can't work out why/how it has. I can't all of a sudden magically over night become worse than I already was at the game lol.

I'm the same, yesterday breaking on 9us in practise must have done at least 6 gb's, i'm doing the exact same thing and they aren't breaking, like a bunch of grapes.

Strange.

Hey guys, just finished fastboysam, in the 8us, i had terrible luck in the first 2 games, jawing the black both times from hard angles. But he was definitely worth his 4-1 lead going into the 9us.

The 9us was pretty much the same, silly fouls by me and he would he would clear, very nice to watch his cue ball control, had it on a string! It finished 3-2 to sam.

Going into the 8uk, I knew I had to win all 5 games to secure a victory. I tried my best, but for some reason today I have been trying to get runouts instead of concentrating on wins. This let me down harshly today, getting down to a couple of balls, missing or snookering myself. Where he would go and clear. I had a couple of good bits of luck in the 8uk, most noticeably was i was in a snooker, i had the black hanging over the corner pocket, had to double the white the length of the table to pot it. Ended up not getting the potting angle, but snookering him behind the black. Ended 3-2 to him.

I could say I could have had more,but they were all good close games, I'll have him next time

great games buddy, and have fun and gl for the rest of the season mate.

10-5 overall
