The PETERS have knocked out the CHRISES already. That game was definitely shown live on Sky. Two teams that may have fancied their chances of going all the way this year meeting early. In the end, the CHRISES just lacked a punch. You can't down Shilton with Bart-Williams and Commons as your main goal threat. Nobody knows the importance of a well balanced 5-aside team better than all the brilliant Garys and Garrys sat watching from that stands at the Capital FM Arena because they couldn't find a goalkeeper.


PETERS 2
Peter Shilton
Peter Hindley
Peter Cormack
Peter Davenport
Peter Withe

CHRISES 1
Chris Woods
Chris Fairclough
Chris Cohen
Kris Commons
Chris Bart-Williams

It is currently IANS 2 FRANKS 0, but that game is not over by any means. Frank Forman is disgusted at his omission, as is Ian Wright. It is about balance though guys. Ian Butterworth wasn't a better footballer than Ian Wright, but with Bowyer, Woan, Storey-Moore and Wright in the outfield the Ians would have been left wide open.

FRANKS
Frank Drabble
Frank Clark
Frank Gray
Frank O'Donnell
Frank Wignall

IANS
Iain Turner
Ian Butterworth
Ian Bowyer
Ian Woan
Ian Storey-Moore

Play if you want. Who wins Franks or Ians? Every post to indicate an Ian or Frank win is a goal to that side. Otherwise, I'll just get my head down and plough on.

Next up at midday will be JACKS v JOHNS

JACKS
Jack Hanna
Jack Hobbs
Jack Burkitt
Jack Blake
Jack Lester

JOHNS
John Middleton
John Metgod
John McGovern
Johnny Quigley
John Robertson

A couple of celebs in the crowd for this one.

 

[Francis Benali (on loan)]

That's your lot Franks. 2-0 to the Ians.

The JACKS and JOHNS have kicked off and already the JOHNS are 1-0 up. Don't have to explain why. The JACKS don't belong on the same pitch as the JOHNS. We're expecting a cricket score here.

 

[Billy's Cuban Heels]

Any more goals for the JOHNS?

 

[Billy's Cuban Heels]

Can't believe Jack Burkitt wasn't picked ahead of Jack Biscuit, sorry, Hobbs

 

[Billy's Cuban Heels]

Also disappointing to note the absence of the Jims and Bills (and, on a personal note, the Grahams) from this tournament

 

[Francis Benali (on loan)]

Can't believe Jack Burkitt wasn't picked ahead of Jack Biscuit, sorry, Hobbs

That was an oversight. Burkitt has turned up late and has been thrown straight in. Hunt has been given the hook. Blake remains to give the Jacks some balance.

 

[Francis Benali (on loan)]

Any more goals for the JOHNS?

A vote is a goal. If this is a vote for the JOHNS in this one, which it appears to be, then that makes it JOHNS 2 JACKS 0.

 

[DapperDan]

JOHNS would walk through the JACKS. There is a class gulf.

 

[Francis Benali (on loan)]

Jims are Jameses.

There's room for late additions. I'll crowbar in some qualifying rounds. We need a full team though. And a team includes a goalkeeper. So if you have 5 BILLS including a goalkeeper they can play. I think we can just about cobble together a TOMS. They'd be fodder, but then so are the JACKS.

3-0 JOHNS. This one ends at 2pm. That can't come fast enough for the JACKS. Burkitt is wishing he hadn't bothered.

Same goes for GRAHAMS. Good luck with that though.

 

[Billy's Cuban Heels]

Same goes for GRAHAMS. Good luck with that though.

I doubt there are two of them tbh

 

[Billy's Cuban Heels]

A vote is a goal. If this is a vote for the JOHNS in this one, which it appears to be, then that makes it JOHNS 2 JACKS 0.

Certainly was. Cooooooommmme on you JOOOOOOOHHHNNNSSSSSS

Of course, my mistake.

I'll get to work on Bills, Alfs and Arthurs

Teams for the afternoon's LEES v ANDREWS clash?

[Billy's Cuban Heels]

Of course, my mistake.

Actually, no I won't, it's not as easy as it sounds! Carry on!

 

[Lukeyshep]

I like this thread! :congored:

And the Johns would definitely batter the Jacks!

 

[GuildfordRed]

How the hell do you not have a team of Dannys in this competition? We've got half a squad of them this season as it is!!!!

 

[Francis Benali (on loan)]

DANNYS can still go in. But we need a team of five. And there has to be a keeper.

JOHNS 4 JACKS 0

:metgod:

 

[Francis Benali (on loan)]

And if somebody can name a goalkeeper for the GARYS, they'd be a real contender. But as it stands, they can't enter.

 

[Senior Flange Technician]

You done Dan, Dannys, Daniels? Not sure they'd score but great defenses

 

[Francis Benali (on loan)]

Need a goalkeeper. No goalkeeper. No entry. This is a serious tournament.

 

[Senior Flange Technician]

Dorus is Dutch for Dan
