Well, if it weren't for injuries you would be facing both Davids and Baresi. Some you win, some you lose.
Las Vegas Monopoly Draft
- Thread starter Edgar Allan Pillow
- Start date
Abandon the red card thing FFS.
It's called LAS VEGAS Monopoly Draft for a reason. If there ever was a format or time to trial this, this is it.
When are you guys playing?
Skizz/Annah v Tuppet on Saturday and Enigma and me on Tuesday I believe.
Also this RSSSF site is a bitch to navigate, I've tried searching the site with Google for matches I think Souness was sent off in (I know he's been sent off at least once for Rangers), but it doesn't seem to have any. worldfootball.net doesn't list any Scottish League matches either.
Tuppet and I are playing on Saturday
Glorious research mate. I'm not sure how to feel about all this. My long-term partner shacking up with some dude, who ends up becoming a multi-billionaire with Pele, Maradona and Beckenbauer on his team... @antohan you probably have competition for Shadow Wanker of the Draft Team SkizzAnnahnoMustard
Coming soon to a draft near you!
Glad to know anto is being held in high regard!you probably have competition for Shadow Wanker of the Draft
I found the exact same article on Souness but no evidence whatsoever in any site listing reds, thus the RSSSF requirement @Jayvin. If you find the game innquestion fair enough, else it's someone talking out of his arse on the internet like many do.
The RSSSF site doesn't seem to have any information of the 86/87 season of the Scottish league. Pretty stupid to have it as a requirement when they are missing a lot of information, he's clearly been sent off as the video and about 50 other sources say
Those sites are both reliable sources in general though, and Anto made a good call in specifying sources given the shitstorm that happened when I picked Paulo Falcao on the <30 caps box in the initial draft. I'm sure he'll acknowledge the Souness red card though, given how obvious the evidence is.
Corrected
Jesus this is dragging now. Each round is taking over a week to get through.
I think we should either go with one source or there's no point doing it at all. Paolo Maldini for example is listed on the example site with 4 reds during his career where on the site anto gave he has 4 in seria A.

It's obvious that every reference site will have mistakes. For one player is OK to dissect it but 14-15 players that have over 15000 matches is madness.
Not that I'm overly fussed as one Souness red or more given the advantage Jayvin has in that rule hardly makes a difference.

Ah Scottish football at its finest.
Is it 1 red or 5? Or is it a sophisticated formula whereby the player's chances of getting sent off here increase with each red they've had in the course of their careers?
The game is on today. A round in one week is pretty much the standard draft time line.
It's a draw whereby all players have as many tickets as they've had red cards in their careers so, for example, Vieira is twice as likely to be sent of as Bergomi.Ah Scottish football at its finest.

Are you putting it up? I've done four feeds and 5 nappy changes and haven't even had lunch yet. Otherwise I'll get it started around 8-9pm uk time.
Kicking it off now. Will need a mod to make it a poll, but it will get too late otherwise. @Skizzo @Annahnomoss @Tuppet
@antohan @Edgar Allan Pillow Time for new rolls.
9 for you 6 for Jayvin
All injured and red carded players are available for the final.
Well that sucks. Would've landed Figueroa I'll shadow wank myself with the formation then
I'll shadow wank myself with the formation then I'm back home tonight.... Just in time for the finals.
And the start of the next draft
Do we pick first or @Jayvin
Pretty sure it's you guys, I think the last reinforcement round ended at the top?
No surprise round to save you this time Baresi...
You are not waiting for another roll are you? Just agree a date with @Skizzo @Annahnomoss
Good to see Baresi got picked in time for the final, that injury-forced switch from Baresi to Bozsik was brutal.
Who was injured for the semis from Skizzo's team?
Giggs
Whenever works for you mate, we can do the weekend if you want to wrap this up
@JayvinWhenever works for you mate, we can do the weekend if you want to wrap this up
Would be brilliant if you guys could do it tomorrow (Fri). Would wrap this up nicely for the next draft to begin over the weekend/next week.
that's fine by me if Annah is around and is ok filling in. I'm busy most of the day tomorrow morning, but should be around later on in the day.
