All Rocks World Cup Draft Thread

Happy Fathers' Day, Hal.

I'll look in from time to time but I guess everyone who goes before me is fast asleep.

 

Oh the dilemma of the first pick.

8th Manager

Hal, does Eddie26 come in as 8th manager?

Edit - Hal edited at same time as my post.



So YES - We have eight managers.

 

Only four teams have registered in the league so far:

Too Many Puppies - Jay Jones.

RainbowPielandia - Lobo Mojo.

Aviators - Hal Jones.

1800-WorldCup.com - Michel Guntern.

 

Sorry guys. 40th birthday party yesterday took the whole day and night out for me.

I'll get logged onto the team site now and have a pick up in about 10mins or less.

 

I can't get registered on the site just now. It's taking an eternity to load.

Can someone select David Villa for me while I try and get my team registered.

 

I'm in!

1st and 2nd Round

It would be great if Eddie makes an appearance and registers his team before the draft gets to me, then we could get the snake going right back up.

5 hour time difference between Frasermc and the Joneses who pick before and after him.

9 hour time difference between tarvindos and Michel
8 hour time differece between lobo and Michel

The rest are within 2 hours time difference.

Remember to avail yourself of Proxy Pickers (Very specific instructions) if you'll be away from the computer for a while.

 

The Long Wait

I'm also keeping an eye on the Soccernet site.

If the teams we're waiting for aren't registered there, I can't see them making a pick.

 

And the A's!! Don't forget the A's!!

 

Let's hope kopiteinkc and tarvinodos register their teams (and make their picks) before you go.

Then it only needs Lobo to check-in and we're rolling.

Failing that, I don't know if I'll still be up when you get back from the game.

 

Big Soccer From Phone

That's big of you Eddie.

Can you check Soccernet Fantasy game from your phone too?

haha

Other two teams haven't registered yet. I'll check back later.

Added: I see Lobo lurking.

 

Effinng Philly, even when I finish last you screw me out of it

ya want to draft 7th?

 

no problem, she is a noisy ********er anyway, her singing always drowning out Martin Tyler around my house

as long as it ain't Jinxica Simpson, his dating life don't bother me
