SM Minnows Game World thread

2012-09-09T02:21:26+00:00

This thread is for the Minnows league I started is Soccer Manager.

For those who don’t know, it’s a league for small clubs and restricted to players rated 80 and under.

I’m not seeding, so join as you will, though some teams are super low on players so it’s kinda on a “you get what you get and don’t be upset” system. That and no Messis or Ronaldos. Rather it’s Saeluas and Tillens, if you catch my meaning.

40 teams in 4 divisions with cups and such-like.

Here are the teams. Those still available are in bold:

Division 1:
Airbus UK
Braintree Town
Breiðablik
CE Sabadell
Andria BAT
FC Edmonton
Fram
Go Ahead Eagles
Sportfreunde Lotte
KooTeePee
Telstar

Division 2:
Egri FC
Paganese
FC Honka
Arminia Bielefeld
Carolina RailHawks
Torpedo Moskva
Crawley Town

Division 3:
Stenhousemuir
Südtirol AA
Zob Ahan
KS Bylis
Þróttur
Neath
Stuttgarter Kickers
Rushden & Diamonds

HB Tórshavn

Division 4:
Paris FC
Albion Rovers
Haverfordwest County
Forfar Athletic
IK Brage
Bayern München II
US Quevilly
Barnet
ÍBV
Borussia Dortmund II

The league ID is 144899.

Best,

The Ramble Force Tactical Bible to… Surviving Uni

2011-01-18T14:05:30+00:00

After the success, LULZ & Jonny’s confession to being the most dangerous pervert of all in the Tactical Bible to… the Opposite Sex, I think a Ramble Force Tactical Bible to surviving Uni would also make for essential reading.

For people currently at Uni, for people who are currently applying or who are off there next year, here’s the place for you to learn what they don’t teach you in A-Levels. Whether it be genuine advice for places to go out in the town of your respective Uni, unwritten laws of living together, how to make your budget stretch & in general bant. Then here’s the place to be…

GO.

Do you ever think about writing a book?

2013-02-05T14:48:40+00:00

This is a bit out of the blue, and a bit mad, maybe it’s the fact i have been on my own for most of the day. I got to thinking, wouldn’t it be amazing to write a book? The feeling of accomplishment and beauty of seeing your hard work read by other people.

I’m pretty sure i’m no talented writer really, but i was thinking about trying to piece something together. Not entirely sure as to what, something along the lines of what football means to me, and try and make it different to a massive blog post. Something i would inevitably fail at and quit half way through (being generous to myself there saying half way through).

Has anybody thought about this in the past? There are thousands of writers out there, so many great that haven’t done anything either. Would any of you ever do it?

The Animal XI

2013-06-18T22:42:37+00:00

I’m not sure there’s anywhere to go with this.

What is your animal XI? Fictional/fantastical ok.

For me it would have to be:

Treebeard Aslan

orangutan

cheetah really big rabbit

Baloo the bear

puma ostrich gorilla shark

orca

The OFFICIAL .GIF Thread (NSFW)

2011-03-17T14:06:05+00:00

I don’t know if something like this has been done before, but here goes anyway

Post an interesting and/or amusing GIF

This one really cracks me up for some reason

The Image Thread - Page 5 NSFW

2012-03-06T14:29:13+00:00

We have the brilliant GIF Thread but I don’t think there is one just for images so whilst I am stumbling/skiving/working from home, I’ve been internetting and found this for a kick off. It made me laugh but I know you can do better.

Can be funny, inspiring, beautiful or bizarre. Just don’t be dull

Premier League 2013/2014

The 2013 Confederations Cup Thread

2013-06-01T16:14:40+00:00

I’m particularly looking forward to it this year, with Nigeria competing. It’s almost starting to feel like Nigerian football is genuinely good again. Also, I think this will be the first major competition with goal line technology.

It kicks off on 15th June, live coverage on the BBC in the UK. ESPN in the USA, i believe.

Group A:
Brazil
Japan
Mexico
Italy

Group B:
Spain
Tahiti
Nigeria
Uruguay

The MLB and baseball thread

2013-06-18T22:16:33+00:00

Didn’t see a place for this quiz, so thought I’d start a thread for baseball.

8/10 for me.

http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/quiz/_/id/4979/do-know-mlb-rules

If there was a comparable cricket quiz, I would get exactly zero.

The gigs thread

2012-11-04T20:55:18+00:00
