Not a bad place to be Merk. My squad consists of players aged 16-19, with a 24y old or two, and two players who are way way past retirement stage.

I wonder if SI has programmed in the quality of this league? It is just a tad above pub football, and I am yet to have a player give indications of burn out. Conidering I am playing the 16-19y olds week in week out, I'm happy I haven't had this occur yet. If I do, I am going to be in deep poo poo.

A good indication how low this league really is the the ring-in loaners from the English Conference. They can't get a game in the English Conference, but they are the stars of the show in this league. They are so good, none of the ones I approached wanted to touch me with a 10f barge pole.

You boys have convinced me. I'm now at Annagh United in the Northern Irish 2nd Division, I couldn't resist the 800 capacity Sta...ground.

If those Mod fluckers would allow updates we could discuss our progress

Try offering to buy Taips a nice shiny new pair of Chelsea boots. It might help!

Bah. Squad numbers. Bah!

They're just convenient ways of naming players, most probably for the ease of coaches or commentators.

Instead of mumbling throgh Mbaliwalibamjako or something like that on national telly and embarassing himself, the commemtator just says "Oh and No. 5 misses! No. 5 is really having a bad game today." It saves him the trouble of going through the prospect of naming the name (pun) twice.

Maybe it's time they get rid of the numbers. There should be large and easily distinguishable pictures painted over players' back instead.

You would be telling your team-mate to mark that guy with the 'butterfly' on his back at corners. Isn't that more exciting? Huh? Isn't it? Isn't it?



Guess that's a no. Damn. I gotta take my medicine now...

Disagree. MC 6 & 8, FC 9 & 10, but I'd swap 8 & 10 at a push
