_gerardddd_ (Super Sub)

Team: Please welcome a good friend of mine in _gerardddd_, he will be our super sub so I will sub him in week 3 of ANY fixture (eligible of course) and he will play the opponent whilst they are online. Thanks for accepting mate - great to have you here.

He isn't eligible for this FCL set sorry Ash as he signed after fixtures came out.

I know that lol he can play in the FBL though from Sunday.

Yep true, wasn't sure you was aware so sorry for posting

Ya right lol.

Mike don't you ever get bored of consistently trying to poke at people? I'd hope so at your age

Nice signing Ash, and a lovely guy.

Good signing Ash, welcome gerardddd,

Also I havnt yet welcomed two more fantastic signings and 2 of the nicest on the site, tinie and Sam, enjoy your time with Phoenix guys looking forward to seeing you in FBL and soon FCL action

happy to help ash

thanks folks

Thanks _fresh_ and _gerardddd_

Let's make a start on some FCL fixtures guys soon, not a single one has been played. We will have I think I counted 9 FBL matches (2 sides new simplified format 1 player for 8us, 9us, 8uk and straight per side) to complete released on Sunday - so let's blitz what we can in these FCL's asap.

Thanks

legend_pot vs davy0207 nearly started but Ryan's having a few computer issues which I'll try and sort for him.

Good Luck and I know hunter is playing askingfan this evening - c'mon Jimmy.

Jimmy vs Askingfan

8 US 3-2
9 US 3-2
8 UK 2-3

8-7

Least said the better. Really rusty and deserved to lose, so I'll take that. GG's mate, good luck in the rest

Our 1st fixture played this season mate and a WIN - well done - close match all the way.

00:00 Wed 13/01/16 - Straight Pool - _knightmare_ got 38 successive pots

Dedicate to the GREAT team we have here and to _gerardddd_ who had a run of 19 himself missed and as a result I run 38. All his fault LOL

Another top player here: He will be one to watch -

FCL sub:

Chillibeef vs _fresh_ (chillibeef removed)

Is now:

dark_chocco vs _fresh_

Hmm what's with all this no subbing allowed rule? So it's now okay to add anyone to a team list, ensure they don't log on then, remove and sub in the teams best player?

Seems a little farcical to me. Chillibeef was only offline a few days in to the first fixture of the season. (Offline 7 days fixture released only 3 days ago)

_fresh_ will play whoever I just don't agree with the practice especially when subs aren't meant to be permitted until day 15/21. IF chillibeef didn't make an appearance by day 15 then by all means remove and make the necessary change but this seems oh too convenient in my opinion.

They've quite acceptably within the rules removed an inactive player instead of leaving a fixture unplayable. If he'd left chillibeef in the fixture for two weeks, you could've just got your player to avoid him in the final week, and you would've won the default. It's a tactic I'd advise every single captain to use if an opponent is inactive in the first two weeks of release.

It's like me adding say dazpolz to our teamlist without even speaking with him then oh crap he's got Uprisings best player I know I'll release and add _fresh_ vs them. Nah that's manipulating the no subs rule if you ask me.

We aren't ever playing for a default, we have plenty of active players here who can sub in and _gerardddd_ is a sub for week 3.

I know why they've done it doesn't mean I have to agree with it. My qualm is chillibeef was only added to their team 7 days ago and we are only 3 days into a fixture but oh well.

If you remove someone they can sub (we did with curtis) but Keith i'm sure will keep an eye on Chillibeef and if he is added fairly soon, i think Chillibeef would be punished.

Wouldn't you rather have _fresh_ have an opponent he can play ASAP? probably wrong of Huts to add him in first place (like us with Curt but time will tell) but it is better for _fresh_ to have more time to play which is what you want right? as less chance at a default.
