I kind'a say it's a must win, because it's one of the few games I know for sure that I can win, and I figure that if I'm to keep out of playoff trouble, then I need to win all the bankers. But on the other hand, I did want to TIE because my next three games after Friday are against sides better than me, but not so much so that I wouldn't stand a chance against them on GFI. Take for example West Reading, with ratings in their last game of Prof/Resp/abs - Resp/Use/Med, as opposed to my recent TIE ratings of Comp/Comp/Abs - Comp/Med/Feeb. Anyway, I'd figured that if I could TIE three in a row, then I'd have enough in the tank to GFI three in a row. Last time around I beat one of these three and lost to the others. But looking at it realistically I don't suppose there's much point in gambling on beating a team better than me if I don't even put away the teams who are worse than me! I guess there's the same sort of difference between Urwenda, my Friday opponents, and me, as there is between me and West Reading, so logically, if I stand a chance of catching West Reading if I GFI, then Urwenda stand a chance of catching me if I TIE against them?
Oh Yes, and a big thank you to the top blokes at Battrick. Me and a couple of my mates who play are all blind to various degrees, and the new ticker thing Battrick introduced on Monday, which refreshed the page every minute, was playing holy F**k with the speech synthesising software which reads the screen for us. But one E-mail to the GM, and Battrick agreed to take the ticker off until they can think of a way of stopping it from interfering with our screen-readers! So if anyone from Battrick reads this, then thank you very very much, and to anyone who liked the ticker, and wondered where it had gone - Um…Sorry, it was my fault!!

I see what you mean about the TIE situation. I'd probably go for the PAN and then PAN one of the games you were going to GFI (against the worst team obviously).
Man, that's awesome that you can read all the things we say using software! Does it read our posts for you?
And I don't think the ticker really adds anything to the game though I could be wrong.

Oh yes! Not only does my computer read me all your posts, it also reads them, as well as everything I write back, in the same mechanised voice as used by Britain's favourite brain-box Stephen Hawkin.
I must confess, in my more bored and immature moments, I have succumbed to the temptation to have a bit of fun with my computer! - Well why wouldn't Stephen Hawkin ring NHS Direct and describe his symptoms as absolute quadriplegia and a silly mechanised voice? And why wouldn't Stephen Hawkin ring up to order a pizza? or a taxi? or to buy flowers from Inter-Flora for Timmy from South Park? The best bit is the bemusement I get from the people on the other end of the phone. They're 99% certain it's a p**s take, but they can't quite bring themselves to tell you to get stuffed, as there's always that 0.1% chance that it really is Stephen Hawkin - Because let's face it, it's not everyone who has Stephen Hawkin's voice ready programmed into their laptop!
I used to work as a reporter on a radio station which shall remain nameless, mainly because I still work for the same media organisation, and I plugged my laptop into the mixing desk and recorded while I typed the following trail:
"Hello, My Name is Stephen Hawkin, and I'm the most intelligent man in the world! That's why I listen to blarblar sports show on *** Radio, every Saturday from 1:30."
Funnily enough my producer didn't want to use it! Well thanks for all the advice today guys, I'm off to submit my orders for Friday, as I'm not in the office tomorrow. Take care and talk soon,

The problem with those guys is that they all need to be trained in everything, i.e. primary, secondaries, and stamina. If you give any of them less than that they will never amount to much, and it'll take even longer now with the training changes. If you don't have any other trainees then you could possibly train two of those guys, but I think trying to train up two allrounders at the same time isn't a good idea.cricketboy29 said:
