BTW Mr B - Are you going to be on-line for tonight's friendly ?

Steve beat me 3-0 last week. Can you do any better ?

How about we come up with a proper Shrimperzone Hatrick League - with games to be played as friendlies. With 8 people we could play each other home and away each week of next season.

Or at the very least a two legged cup competition with first round losers in a plate. (to give me a second chance http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I wouldn't worry about that, there's people from all sorts of divisions all over the world on there. Quite a good place for hints and tips and some varied opinions.

A very good idea... I don't know how to do that (may not even have the power to do it - I don't think I do!), so perhaps Naps or Lee might think about that...?

[Matt the Shrimp]

ORM - as for the cup competition, Bob_C did one of those a couple of seasons ago with Hattrix Cup Manager. Now that we've got more people on board, maybe this is the time to try to resurrect it?

Then again, a number of us are involved in the FLSA Cup compo, or at least we were this year....?

Maybe so but i am yet to beat you. http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/down.gif So i guess you are still the top team from ShrimperZone as they say the proof is in the pudding.

When do people want to start the cup now or after the 2nd or 3rd round of the English Cup??

And how do you want to do it straight knock out or group stages??

Does that mean steveh is the top dog in SZ, after handing out a 4-1 thrashing last night...

http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

(That said, bar one midfielder, it was my 2nd XI, so I don't feel too bad).

Can we start the SZ Cup after the 4th round of the cup? Most of us should be out by then, and we can all play each other in informal friendlies until then.

I'd be up for group stages then knockout - means everyone will play at least 2 or 3 SZ sides, which would be cool.

I accessed mine from the States and the Bahamas. Most strange.

Yea but this WAS the American league Chaco got dumped out of. They were probably worried that the IP address was registered East of Newfoundland and therefore must have links to Al Quaida or Osama Bin Laden.
