grumpy will have to decide the formation, so if we have to many strikers, then they will have to sit it out as a sub or move to grumpy's preferred position. Anyway we have had some more suggestions, so a further team update... Gillingham FC - not606 team v Burton Albion (possibly!) TEAM MANAGER: grumpygit - (to old to run and to fragile to dive) - Hessy Team mascot: alwaysright (face like a horse) - Tommy Trewblu Goalkeeper GeminiSwift (purely because he is nuts) - Flitney's position Defence brb (his legs will not carry him any further than the back line) Captain (because he's bossy and no body else has argued for it) - Frampton harryheadbutt (6ft 4, not as much hair perhaps but 5 years younger and also has a degree like him) - Lawrence Kentish Man (nominated by brb, for taking on the Toons, so ideal as brb's body guard) - Fuller Midfield MikeGills32 (because he always starts brightly, then people start to doubt him) - Montrose GFC-Matt (right of midfield has a deadly delivery - 'just like the postman', according to 'alwaysright') - ? Striker Gemini's Son (only 4, so ideal for the job) - Oli Hoadie (used to play in this position - 'splits opinion' according to BSG so should be...) - Rooney Carras_Prodigy (i dont do anything for 80 minutes either but then manage to pull off something spectacular) - Rooney (AGAIN!) Manchester Gill (because he has shocking hair according to Carras_Prodigy) - S Payne Half Time refreshments, currently consist of: Home Team - Pint of real ale Opposition - Laxatives grumpygit - your going to need to sort this out, we can't have two Rooney's, can we?
surely there should be some form of pie with that half time ale brb? And I would recommend myself as a replacement for one of the players, but I'm **** at football and Oli's already been taken...
superbob - grumpy is probably going to want a big squad for us lot to choose from, so we have two Rooney's for him to choose from, so he can have two Oli's as well. One for each half Next time I update the squad listing, your be included. Also a very good idea about the pie's, it will go down well with the ale, so that will be added We are a little bit short in midfield, also we are looking for another defender at least. ps. just missed Iffy's post, yes you can be Chairman! grumpy, who you loaning to Man U?
brb,,,,,i thought there was no swearing on here? grumpy saying MAN U, can we remind him if i am the chairman he could be replaced if this sort of conduct continues,,,,,
All references made are to the individual posters own ability and not any chairman, manager or player. grumpy will have to decide the formation, etc. So if we have to many players for one position, then they will have to either sit it out as a sub, move to grumpy's preferred position or go out on loan.

We dont appear to have any subs, I'll happily be a bench warmer. Dont mind a little sit down form time to time
can i be Fuller i know his old man and him and they drink in the pub opposite my flat before i moved, was drinking with them Saturday
Well I was going to say I'd take Roony's position because, lets face it, I can't be worse! But Carras seems to be able to pull something out the bag at the last minute and not sure I can promise such opinion changing moments. So I'll step in for Barry Fuller - Like to go on storming runs so far up the pitch I get a bit of a nose bleed, can't get back for the counter attack, and sometimes get distracted by shiny thing so let my attacker wander off on his own for a little while but will put in brilliant tackles when I want to. Grumpy as manager makes sence, I can hear it now, 60 minutes into the game, "Change it Grumpy!" echoing from the stands... UT(606)G
Well we have got 2 Rooney's, 2 Oli's so we might as well play 3 Fuller's I'll change Kentish Man to Martin. grumpy - looks like your going to end up with a team for each half! btw - why no Kedwell or the new boy Noble?
I was going to suggest I could be Martin because I am best "left back" in the changing room. Failing that I could be Jack Payne, seeing as the rest of the team performs poorly when I am not around

I was thinking we could play with 9 defenders who don't go further than 30 yards from goal, they then take it in turns to hoof it up to the lone striker. I'm not sure if I might have seen this tactic employed before, or maybe it was just a dream.
grumpy - I can't go any further than 30 yards from goal, so it sounds good tactics, although if your looking for hoof ball tactics, can you just make sure you have a good supply of footballs
The real reason why I hate OUR use of hoofball is that as I've said I have the face of a horse - and hung like a donkey - and still I don't get a game -Is it because I'm carrying a little bit of top weight ?
BRB love to play but I like to play out wide left, and only have a left foot!! who the hell could I replace!! UTG!!!
