Mark's announcement had his gathered audience in raptures. The amassed internet nerds had never expected TV stardom, but that was what waited just around the corner from them, and they owed it all to the mysterious influence of The Raptor Group. The mysterious Dutch/Irish consortium had done a deal with the BBC whereby sordid details of the Director General's private life which had been uncovered by the group would be kept secret, and in return, The Raptor Group would run an all-new series of The Weakest Link. The only condition that the BBC insisted on applying was that Welsh-hating ginger bitch Anne Robinson presented the show. So when she was found in a ditch off the M1 with the spark of her life covered in shîte just a week before the first episode was due to air, it was a big blow to the TV company. The Raptor Group, who had vehemently opposed Robinson's appointment, publicly claimed that they had no involvement in the murder though tlike everyone else in the country, they weren't all that sad to see it happen. Privately; however, everyone knew that their hand had been guiding the operation.
So, with his plan for FMS fame ready and waiting, all that was left for Raptor Group chief Mark de Vries to do was find a new host. With everyone else tied up in as contestants on the show, there was only one candidate, current forum legend Simon F. The Story Whore/Forum Helper/Air Hockey Champion had been looked over for a place as an entrant on the show, but all was forgiven as he took his place, centre stage to introduce the world to The Weakest Link - FMS Style.
Of course thats assuming you're doing what I think you're doing, and if you're not then I appologize and look sheepish (So wont go near Aberdeen for a while).
obviously, i've copied another of PM7's ideas (and i had every intention of crediting him in this post. honest). i'm using the scottish second and third divisions as the starting point, with twenty FMSers installed at the twenty clubs. sorry if you didn't make it into the story. the idea is that on 31st December and 1st June of every season, i'll do an update of how everything's going and the weakest link will be voted out of the story by a forum vote. this will continue until there is only one manager left, who will then be declared the strongest link and will be adored by all
"Welcome to the very first episode of the FMS Weakest Link. Over the period of the next few years, twenty FMSers will do bloody battle on the football fields in an effort to gain favour with you, the voting public. On the 31st December and the 1st June every year, we will reconvene in this very studio where you will be given the chance to vote off the manager you feel to be The Weakest Link. So, without any more gilding the lily or further ado whatsoever, let me introduce you to the twenty souls who will descend upon the realms of Scottish football.
Contestant # 1: benny (Brechin)
There were some problems installing benny at Brechin, for some reason the uber editor that Mark was using to convince the various boards to accept his candidates as their new managers wanted to place him at IFK Umea. But, bizarre problem aside, benny now faces a hugely tough task to keep Brechin in the second division. May survive because of legendary status, but surely an early favourite for dismissal from the show.
Contestant # 2: BobBev (Stranraer)
The ageing newcomer of the year (2003 version) has been awarded a nice seaside jaunt to Stranraer for his participation in the show. It's most likely that Bob's Stranraer side will fall into mid-table obscurity, but a good or bad run in the important stages of the season could push them to either end of the table. Unlikely to be voted off in round one, but might not make it much further than that unless he can prove himself a top manager and escape his seaside haven.
Contestant # 3: Brian of Nazareth (Arbroath)
"He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!" is something that, quite frankly, we had to get out of the way early on this one. Given charge of a side recently relegated to the depths of division two, 'Brian' might find himself with a squad strong enough to push towards the upper reaches of the table. Then again, he might find that his utter lack of managerial skills could see him booted out of both club and story in the early stages.
COntestant # 4: Dark_Soccer (Albion)
The first of our third division contestants, D_S has been handed control of the perennially shît Albion Rovers. Saved time after time by the mere fact that there is no relegation out of the Scottish league system, Albion were surely the team in mind when the chant "You're shîte, and you know you are" was first sung. As his side will most likely by floundering in the bottom places of the bottom division, Dark_Soccer has been installed by PM7onlinebetting as firm favourite to be voted off as the first weakest link.
Contestant # 5: displaced_seagull (Elgin)
Placed as far away as possible from Brighton, d_s might not be too happy with the club he was given. But he could find solice in the fact that, relative to this level of competition, he has a few decent players at his disposlal such as striker Alex Bone. AN outside bet for promotion, 2003's CMSer of the Year should be safe from the first eviction at least. But then again, the amount of peverse people that inhabit FMS, they could decide that they find success just as abhorrent as failure and vote him off for that. You just never know with this bunch of wierdos.
Erm but seriously, yes this takes a lot of hard work so good luck. And thanks for not making me go Baaa Baaa, even though I just did. So erm, well looking forward to tbis
Arbroath \o/ How did you know? Now to get the best out of Eddie Forrest and Brownlie again. Now to bring back some pride to the region Enough of this declaration ******** we want to be known for tha' football!
