    Deadpool 2016

    Yes, it is that time of the year again. Post up your names by 31 December. Usual rules apply: 10 picks (in alphabetical order if possible). They must be alive on 1 January and they must have their own wiki page. They can't be held on death row, and of course you can't be responsible for...

  4. Ref Watch ....... Exeter A

    Not a lot to say about Saturday's referee. He is first year League referee, Darren Handley from Bolton who made it on to the League list after 6 years of Conference officiating. He is 37 and a PE teacher at Tottington High School. His 25 matches this season have produced a just slightly above...

    Deadpool 2014

    I am quite happy to run the deadpool again next year, but there was talk at the beginning of 2013 that bonus points be awarded for various things, age of the person, being one that I can remember. If someone wants to step in with a different scoring system, than that is fine by me. If you want...
  6. Ref Watch ....... Paint pot Oxford

    Tonight's referee is one who is being fast-tracked more than any other referee since Attwell (and that worked out well!!). He is David Coote from Winthorpe near Newark. He is a third year referee and he has been getting appointments far better than his experience (and, probably, ability)...
  7. Ref Watch ..... Plymouth away

    Tomorrow's referee is Steve Rushton from Stoke. In his fourth season, he has refereed Southend twice before the first one being the high scoring defeat at Bristol Rovers three years ago when he cautioned two from each side and sent off Moussa. More recently he did the home match against...

    Famous Left / Right wingers

    no heavy debating , continuing the light heartedness of the compass thread. Regardless of personal politics I have always thought that historically the right get slated as the bad boys (Stalin excepted, although to be honest its dictatorship which is the problem there) So to sort of see if...

    Question Interactive Novel Writing

    Ok, bit of a weird one this. I have here the first 1,500 words of a story, battered out in an afternoon to no distinct end or conclusion. It's a first draft, it hasn't been polished or checked and, critically, it doesn't have a direction. I was thinking of a British version of Lost/Journey To...

    Scriv: any chance of transfer update on OS?

    Afternoon Scriv :) Now that the stadium is in the bag (well, the bits that can be sorted this month anyway), I'm guessing - and hoping - that Tilly and Ron are now 100% trying to get in a couple of players. Could we possibly have a Tilly interview, or Ron, on the OS to give us a bit of an...
