He was actually just an interesting story for me before this draft - I read some articles, saw a few documentaries (most of them are focused on the arrest, sadly), but I can't say that he was my all-time favorite. But when I dug deeper for this draft, while I watched probably every bit of footage of him that is available on the internet I really fell in love with him. Especially with his backheel passes
Ahh, I thought you followed him from before. Looks quality from those stories and gifs, very nonchalant style and doing things with ease. You're lucky to have so many footage of him, I tried to find a lot on Chajkovski but there's really a little amount from those days and short highlights. Even some of the goals he scored on international level are cutHe was actually just an interesting story for me before this draft - I read some articles, saw a few documentaries (most of them are focused on the arrest, sadly), but I can't say that he was my all-time favorite.

I really hope that he will become a draft regular after this, he deserves it.
It's literally just one full game, one extended highlights and then seconds of archive footage from documentaries and poorly documented goals, that are often cut at the most interesting moment
yeah that's exactly what I meant, you see the ball hitting the net kicked by your guy but he's not even on the screen, whilst the camera is dead straight on the keeper from exactly the opposite angle.It's literally just one full game, one extended highlights and then seconds of archive footage from documentaries and poorly documented goals, that are often cut at the most interesting moment
The one I regretted the most was the goal in USSR Cup final in 1968, where Streltsov made an assist with a (!) backheel (!!) nutmeg - and all that is seen on the video is the ball already moving from Streltsov (we can see that he's turned away though, so it certainly was a backheel pass) towards the other striker, going between the legs of defender. It should be an amazing and unique moment, but they fecked up the footage and the most magical moment - his actual touch - is missingyeah that's exactly what I meant, you see the ball hitting the net kicked by your guy but he's not even on the screen, whilst the camera is dead straight on the keeper from exactly the opposite angle.
Guys, if in not ready by Saturday then I'll hand my team to someone else or I'll concede the game
No worries mate. Hope everything is still going ok over there!
That's more important than this.Will be sending the write-up to Aldo in a few mins. If Skizz/Pat are fine with it, we can start the match now itself.
I'm here.
I won't be around for a few hours, but I'll be on later. @Pat_Mustard might be on before I am. Throw it up whenever though
don't want to keep it dragging much longer.
Now? Confirm to me and I will start when you prefer. I'll be on for a couple of more hours I believe.I won't be around for a few hours, but I'll be on later. @Pat_Mustard might be on before I am. Throw it up whenever though
Are you gonna be taking the team @Joga Bonito? Just so we know who we are supposed to viciously attack in the thread
Nope, RedTiger is still the manager and I'm just the consultant/AM. Am fairly busy but will try my best to contribute as much as I can though.I won't be around for a few hours, but I'll be on later. @Pat_Mustard might be on before I am. Throw it up whenever though

nows good. We'll just check in when we can
We won't attack you quite as viciously then
I'm going through an emotional turbulence now, and can't think straight. Please forgive my total lack of respond, fellow drafters.
Hope everything is alright mate. Let us know if you need anything!
Sorry to hear that, mate - I hope things work out for you soon, hang in there.
Mate, hope everything is OK for you bro, I understand how real life tends to get in the way.
Hope everything is all right over there.
Wednesday is good for me.
It won't be the only one. Stobzilla has informed me that he is too busy for the match as well, so that will be another game called off.
