@P-Nut can we go ahead Monday? I'm going to send some bits to @Physiocrat now but could do with the extra day if that's okay. It's all on my phone as no laptop so a pain!
Nostalgia Draft - Winner - Isotope
- Thread starter Physiocrat
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Monday is fine although please let me know when I can expect the updated version? I'm quite busy on Monday so it will give me an idea when to check.
Yeah go for whenever you want
Before morning tomorrow? So later this evening I think! Thank you
How is the hangover and what did you consume..
I drank about 3 litres of water this morning so I'm not in too bad shape, went through a litre of rum so expected to be much worse
@Gio When are you playing?
Tomorrow.
Cool.
Monday, 21st June - Michael vs EAP, PNut vs TheReligion, harms vs Gio,
@Michaelf7777777 @Edgar Allan Pillow @P-Nut @TheReligion @harms
Please send tactics to me, Synco and Invictus. I have limited time tomorrow to set up games.
@Gio Please send tactics to me, Synco and Invictus. I have limited time tomorrow to set up games.
Sure thing gaffer.
I've already sent a few days ago
P-Nut's writeup is in, EAP has PM'd his already but still wants to edit around a bit.
Tinkerbell
Done. It's as good as it's going to get. Tough match for me.
@Physiocrat I've sent you what I can. Let me know!
Sent mine in @Jim Beam start whenever you feel you have the time.
Sorry, my laptop went to shit. Can only start tomorrow. Hope that isn't a problem.
Anytime that's convenient for you mate.
@Jim Beam Please send your tactics asap
Need 3 or 4 hours at least. If nothing, I will send from my cell phone if I don't manage it any different way.
That's fine
I've send my shit (and literally it can't be called any other way).
Now we are in a phase on Mollercheption.
Now we are in a phase on Mollercheption.
So how does the reinforcements thing work? Do I get to pick one of @P-Nut boys and give them a tour of TRs Theatre of Dreams?
Open pool. Anybody as yet unpicked or anyone from the losing R1 teams except for picks 1 and 2. Note, reinforcements picked this reinforcement round cannot be injured for the QF.
Quite similar. The finances were fine in the 1990s. There some debt built up around 1998 when Walter Smith let a full team age together and only had Ferguson and Gattuso coming through. When Advocaat took over he spent a lot building a strong team, but the debt was manageable. The club (amongst many others) used EBTs to reduce tax payments through the 2000s which created a potential liability of £47m when HMRC started to challenge these practices in football clubs. That in itself wasn't decisive because the legal advice was split and courts still found in Rangers' favour for a few years after the club was liquidated. What was decisive was the sale of the club to Craig Whyte in 2011 who stopped playing bills in an attempt to wind the club up. And that was it. The whole things showed that the governance in place for both clubs and the league was woefully inappropriate. The league was obliged to carry out a 'fit and proper person' test on any takeover, but given the array of shady characters and criminals who have ended up in charge of Scottish clubs, was clearly not carried out in any meaningful way.
Given the fates of various clubs who have trod a similar path, as well as the recent superleague proposals, you just hope that we put in place better protection for fanbases in the future.

Ah shite, had compeletely missed the first two being blocked. Completely cocks up my plans going forward 
Not that I wanted to GOATify, just some players were pretty crucial suited to pulling off tactical variations I wanted to do.
Balls.

@Himannv @harms @antohan @Isotope @Edgar Allan Pillow
Why? I was pretty sure they could, one out of two + one coming back is enough to shake things up a bit.
I thought you had originally argued that injuring a reinforcement essentially just means you have one reinforcement? And so was bad?
