by Marky Thu 30 Aug 2018, 7:15 pm

Do I need an extra injury?

As my squad wasn't updated I technically had 26 players when Injuries were done.

by **Hero** Thu 30 Aug 2018, 7:36 pm

Or could take one of my injuries away #justsayin

As Bernardo is a babe, I'll take Jimmy Smith as the extra injury Whistle

Results, table and scorers pages updated for week 1

by Trebs Mon 03 Sep 2018, 12:54 pm

Just want to give a clarification of what has happened, not sure who is on or checks the facebook group.

- I asked last week if I could make a few extra signings, as my squad was very thin and had 19 players, which included a couple of kids.
- The responses came from Twist and Bam, saying that they weren't really bothered but they weren't very official and was in a jokey way.
- I made the signings as nobody had said anything to the contrary. Hero decided to play the game using my players, which I then won.
- My win was stripped afterwards - as it was claimed that my signings were against the rules.
- I protested, stating that I should have been informed beforehand if there was an issue.
- Following a back and forth, I decided that the sensible thing is to take 48 hours away to prevent an even bigger argument.
- Swearing comes in my direction on the group chat, then I get kicked out by Fernando. Following that, I get threatened privately on messenger with more swearing.

I'm sure you all know that I'm not keen on the fifa league but was willing to give it a chance to help out. But put simply, I've got no interest in taking part in a league which sees such bullying as acceptable behaviour. I wish most of you all the best with the league. I have updated the Brisbane page, at least there is now a competitive 23 man squad for the next manager.

I know most of you are aware of a significant incident which happened a couple of months ago, which has affected me in a big way. I've had a piece of bad news yesterday about that. The bottom line is that I have other things going on my life, which take precedence over this. I don't need the additional stress of this 'game' right now.

Adieu.

The responses came from Twist and Bam, saying that they weren't really bothered but they weren't very official and was in a jokey way.

At least from me, I said i was bothered about it - we all have to manage thin squads and try and get the most out of them. You had more than other managers anyway! You can't just go ahead and break the rules and complain that no one told you any different, so go ahead with it anyway.

So much drama! You make it sound like a whole lot more than it was! Someone told you to feck off if you was going to be a diva (and it was "feck"). That was it on the group chat.

The threatening accusation needs to be sorted so I expect you to name who did it and show screenshots.

Sorry if you are going through a tough time but I am not pandering to you. Grow up.

by BamBam Mon 03 Sep 2018, 1:19 pm

You're just whining because no one joined your Poopie world cup league and you didn't get your way on whether or not we switched to FIFA

I said I wasn't bothered because I had already played you, yes it was jokey but tbh I thought the bigger joke was you asking for 6 signings in a week Laugh

by **Afro** Mon 03 Sep 2018, 1:26 pm

Sorry to hear that Trebs so soon after you coming back. I was looking forward to resurrecting battles of old.

I'm not on chatgroup, so don't know what's gone on, nor do I really want to know tbh. But I don't condone bullying or verbal abuse of any kind and if I witnessed it first hand I would probably consider my place in the league.

by **Hero** Mon 03 Sep 2018, 1:26 pm

Trebs, yes I should have perhaps given you a clearer rule clarification prior to the cut off but you could yourself have just dropped me a quick message saying you'd not had a response rather than just decide for yourself.
We already let you buy extra players the weeks prior, we let it ride for you to do the same but you couldn't then play all not them in the game. We'd have allowed you to play two but straight away it was a 'do it my way or I walk attitude', ironically something you were only a week ago saying to Miky when he was league runner that he should have dealt with and not pander to.
I do though want to see who PMd you with threats.

See this is what annoys me over Trebs post. The likes of Afro, or anyone new wanting to join the league, would read that and think we are all a bunch of b'stards. You have painted the whole thing in such a way just to shower you with sympathy and make it seem as we are all horrible to you.

2nd season went brilliantly, no hassle and was really enjoyable. 2 weeks into Trebs joining Season 3, he throws his toys out of the pram, makes accusations and screams "bullying". It isn't a coincidence!

It really pisses me off. Someone suggested it was like Roxanne Pallet (google her) and it is 100% correct.

by **Afro** Mon 03 Sep 2018, 1:39 pm

Like I said to Hero, I'm taking it with a pinch of salt as I didn't see what has gone on.

I base my opinions of everyone on my own experiences, not hearsay. Whether those are good or bad opinions I'll keep to myself Wink

At least Bale, Neymar and Aubameyang are all fit angel

True, having no midfield though may be an issue to get the ball to those three. Time to punt it long.

by BamBam Tue 04 Sep 2018, 10:25 am

Here's a question .. who has been your most successful "youth" signing since season 1?

Not just TM value increase, but playing value

I just released McKennie which prompted the question, but he was £1.8m in the early days of season 1, only increased to just under £6m but he was actually good on FIFA despite his lowly 67 rating and got me a few goals off the bench

by BamBam Tue 04 Sep 2018, 10:26 am

Wonder which team's midfield will get to come up against the Kante/Gueye duo

by **Hero** Tue 04 Sep 2018, 11:29 am

Just seen my next 3 weeks games are v Afro, Nando and Bam.
Ouch!!!

by **Afro** Tue 04 Sep 2018, 11:32 am

Similar to my first 4 games.

Twist, Nando, you and Bam

by **Hero** Tue 04 Sep 2018, 11:35 am

To come out of your first 2 games with 4 points I'd be chuffed with.

by **Afro** Tue 04 Sep 2018, 11:53 am

Something tells me I could be facing Neymar and Messi this week though
