Hopefully he was comfortable in his last days and that his family take comfort from that. In other news, oh captain, my captain. David Fadin’ The only two people to step up for me this season have been my captain and my vice captain.

The_Craig Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I've had a rather successful season so far. I've had 3 hits so far. A couple of them will leave a selection headache fir next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC David Hagen, like Fernando Ricksen, spent the last months of his life in a hospice. ETA - He is my vice-captain and fourth hit of the year.

There's 1 or 2 that have hung on longer than expected. Edit - I did the same as you BB and under called it, he's my fourth.

JustOneCornetto Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) My fourth of the year and also my Captain. The fact he's from Bonnybridge in no way influenced the selection!! Edited July 25, 2020 by JustOneCornetto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Despite the global pandemic that has killed over half a million people, this seems to have been a pretty poor year for deadpool so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you say that? This time last year - supposedly a notably high-scoring contest - 26 deadpool contestants had died, and 42 died over the course of the whole year. This year, there are 35 poolers who have put themselves on the scoreboard so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also quite a lot of low hanging fruit gone this year that will have been in a few teams for quite a few years. Is it really too much to ask for Coronavirus to see off a few more of my team? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
