Made a bit of a mess of things this week.
My two TEs are on bye so picked up Hunter Henry only for him to ruled out of game.
Didn't realise players you picked up get locked 24 hours from kick off.
Now either play with nine our drop Eifert or Reed.0 -
Wonder what the chances are of Murray winning the last two Masters events he needs for the set.
Has anyone won them all?0 -
I note that the assaults have now been downgraded to "alleged".
Oh, and 122 - Freddy Krueger.

Never really got the Hibs fans trying to rewrite history by pretending Rangers players weren't assaulted.
Throwing punches and pushing isn't GBH but still not pleasant to be on other side of.

I really need to shake up my team.
Have Brown, Jones and Hopkins to trade.
Short at RB and TE.
Looking for a decent two for one offer.
Fire over any decent offers. :-)0 -
Up for the subscription league also.
Back on topic how does everyone feel their team and performance is so far this season.
I was really happy with my draft have added a few decent players since. Still only .500 though after the six games. Hopefully can kick on now.0 -
Murray has soo much motivation this year that I can't see him not making final.
Does that and No1 should be within grasp.0 -
Why do stewards go up and down the stairs in the stands all at the same time. That really grinds my gears
This 100%0 -
Is there IR slots in leagues? Can't seem to find it in Div2.
0 -
For anyone in Div 2 my whole team is on the block.
Have a couple of decent TEs if anyone has a need and plenty of RBs and WRs.
Make me an offer.0 -
Anyone else have trouble with the website? Wouldn't let me select Gronk (at 17) and auto drafted Mike Evans instead (fucked up flea flicker rankings). Did the same in round 11 when it picked Seattle Defense for me!!!
Both times I searched for players when on clock. Might have been a bug.0 -
I'm set already for after the game (I may be overdoing this).
Like it, wish I was as prepared.
Did my first draft of season this morning and didn't go great, going for better tonight!0 -
Sunday preferable for me but can do Thursday or whenever if need be.

Sorry if I repeat what others have said, just some notes I jotted down.
A few people seemed a bit pissed off but it was an overall friendly affair.
For the board:- Their first priority is getting team promoted.
- Second is completing the ground, this seem to be early days, consulting and planning.
- No debt, there is money put aside incase shit hits the proverbial, we were very close to going under 5/6 years ago.
- Playing budget has apparently increased from last year.
- Someone asked about terracing but Henderson seemed quite reluctant about it, lots of complications etc.
- Not happy with the start we’ve made. Feels like the players are not playing to their full potential. IE how can we be so poor in one half and better the other.
- He is limited by our wage structure, seems like no player is anywhere near 1K a week, seems more like £500 p/w. He thinks that our budget is the 3rd highest in the league.
- Dobbie is getting 2K a week at QoS. Houstie = #ITK
- Budget has been spent, so new players coming, no loans either.
- He did mention something about getting in touch with McGrandles but stated that he's nowhere near ready to be playing.
- Playsoffs are the minimum target for this year.
- Tony Gallagher to start this Saturday.
- Singled out Hippolyte a wee bit saying that he wants him to be more consistent, rather than being decent in 1/5 games, bringing that up to 3/5 games.
- Scouting budget is restricted to Scotland.
“In one of the games the ball wasn’t on the arc for a corner, how do you feel about that?”
“Why haven't you scouted the juniors for players?”
It's pretty concerning when you think how much we have brought in through transfers over the past few years yet haven't moved on and still have no cash.0 -
If I had a choice between playing in one slam final and winning it or playing in eleven and winning three I'd choose the latter. Murray has said he doesn't fear losing these finals and wants to play in as many as he can as he wants to win them.
He's playing like a man possessed at the moment which I don't think we've ever seen really. The US Open is the first slam where I think I expect him to win it from the outset, regardless of Djokovic. He appears to have worked harder than ever before and he really wants that No 1 ranking.
Think you might be getting a bit carried away if you expect a win at US Open.
Murray is grinding out results but he looks pretty tired and the form has been up and down. Came pretty close to going out of Wimbledon and Olympics at various points.
Still had a decent chance but Djokovic still a strong favorite.0 -
No idea really how rankings work....but if Murray takes another Olympic gold another davis cup n one or two more majors given the calibre of players hes had to face then hes legitimately in the tennis all time top ten list for me. Genuinely believe that if he had a tardis he would have horsed the likes of sampras n even becker back in the day. I know irs different eras etc but his ability to return his mobility and fact he doesn't have an aherm gluten free diet puts him up there with the very best
Not sure another Davis Cup would add anything. Not many care about it these days.
Good he won it once though.

Good fight, Stiverne is tough as they come and is experienced at the top level. Fringe top 10 I'd say. Better than Wilder fighting dross like Arreola.
What's Parker like?0 -
Has there been anything positive to say about the Scottish Rugby team the last ten years?I don't think i have ever seen a positive article from him about Scottish Rugby

What Direwolves are still alive?Realistically, Ghost would surely never have survived that battle. Glad he wasn't there/killed. Need some direwolves left alive.
Johns and Arya's spring to mind but not sure about the others.

A spin-off series focusing in on Diane and Lucca has been confirmed. As long as Eli makes the occasional appearance then I'm happy!
Quite surprised at this as not really sure how it's going to work, don't remember the two characters having much interaction.
Will be interesting to find out.
Loved the good wife, but the one issue I had with it was the woeful character development. People like Carey pretty much stayed the same over seven series.

Watched this after loving Daredevil and just found it annoying by the end.
As mention already Tennant was excellent and stole the show but the Jessica Jones character is annoying and really unlikable.
Plot also got ridiculous and it ended up really dragging.

Just had a look at odds and Burns is a strong favorite.
Take it his opponent isn't great then as Burns looks totally finished these days.

Edinburgh born Stormers centre Huw Jones called into Scotland squad for Japan tour.
Interesting to see how this one goes, he seems to be highly rated and also eligible for Wales, England and South Africa but good to get him tied down.
It also produced a highly amusing tear stained rant from Andy Nicol. Absolute throbber.
Just looked up Andy Nicols Twitter to find out what he was saying. Noticed he is a director of a very wanky sounding business consultancy, why am I not surprised!

Think it is pretty obvious to everyone where we need to strengthen so hopefully some good signings and don't lose any key players apart from Alston.
Could also really be doing with some pace and physical presence. Hypolyte brings pace, what about Austin?
Any players from the reserves good enough to step up? How about Tony Gallagher, not seen much of him yet

Fantasy Football 2016

I hate Fantasy Football someone's. Looked pretty good even without a TE when I went to bed last night.
Just needed Demaryius Thomas to be within 20 points off Latavious Murray!!!!
Might be worth a punt switching in Clay for tonight to try and make up that point.
Even more annoying I had Murray in the auction league but that team was already pretty much dead.
