Any idea?

Media relations?

  

[Guest]

That was mighty guid 'o ya Irn!!

I've never put on a fantasty team Irn, does the value of the player have to be withing a set amount ?

Nice one Irn,

[Guest]

I think I've got ya Irn,,that's not their true value is it?..i would have picked Franck Ribery, but I think he's injured

They do but this is the best one. And the Sun is a no no when it comes to football - at least for me and thousands of other football fans.

He's out injured right enough. See what you think and I'll be back later.

Was just thinking if people did not want to pay Irn, they could still pick their teams and the calculations could still be done the same, just a suggestion really.

Good idea though, may put one forward but like the role you gave me

 ::D::

[Cass]

I think defenders are a little weak....midfield could be pumped up but Yay for Messi!

[Eilzel]

Some great choices in there Irn, especially loving my David Silva being in  ; loving my position in the coaching staff by the way, I always feel I missed my true calling there    

[Ben Reilly]

Looks like you put together a nice squad for us, boss. Just hoping we can go out there and do our best.

Oh, and DOWN WITH GHANA!!!!!!!!

[Cass]

Silva? hmmmmm we'll see....x

[Ben Reilly]

Brazil v Croatia manana! ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL???

[Cass]

Brazil v Croatia manana! ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL???

SIM!!!!!!

[Irn Bru]

Anyone suggest any changes in the line up?

Check the link in the OP to see a list of all the players but remember we can't go above £50 million.

Indeed Les, I'm sure you have.

And it's time to get the players in for a rub down to get those muscles toned up because this is a long tournament.

[Guest]

Few years ago I would have loved to have helped, nowdays I haven't a clue, so any 'help' I give would probably get us thrown out at the first hurdle, but it will certainly give me some more interest in the World Cup Irn lol

[Irn Bru]

Brazil v Croatia manana! ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL???

I think Croatia will get well and truly gubbed tonight. Scotland beat them home and away in the qualifiers but as usual we got robbed in some of the other games due to dodgy decisions by some referee's.

 

Same old story - we wiz robbed and those samba dancing Brazillian girls would have loved the Scots lads..

[Andy]

Bit surprised you haven't got Kaka or Bumbandit as the team's political attaché!

[nicko]

Can't resist snide comments can you Handy. Look to your own faults!!

[Guest]

Hey Irn, as I said I've never done a FFT before...

Someone here players I know nothing about or even heard of, but quite a few of the ones I know cost more!,

Are we looking to switch a few players if your choice,or are we looking to create another team entirely as well as your squad ?


I see a couple  of decent Celtic players in there  ::troll::

[Andy]

Can't resist snide comments can you Handy. Look to your own faults!!

  
A rw'er telling a LW'er he has faults!!
       
In any case, Stenchy Bumbandit is rank racist South African, who ran away from his own country after apartheid ended.

[Guest]

I've done a team for us too Irn, which you'll probably laugh at!!  


For the £50 million limit for the entire team it's tricky!

But I've focused more on a solid midfield and spent a bit less upfront!

Hope you can see the team if I've done it right here?!!was only £3 and I've named it team Newsfix 2

[Guest]

[Guest]

Sorry, not meaning to spam, just trying to show you the team...
Don't think it shows it properly.




Exact same staff of course!!

Me, Irn, Ben , Les , Didge!!

[Cass]

and what's wrong with having a woman on the coaching staff????????

I DO KNOW THE OFFSIDE RULE.

sexist pigs.....pfft

Perhaps for a womens team that would be fine Cass, you would be too busy ogling all the men's legs and bums!!

only during the pre-game warm up......I have been known to lob expletives in the ref's direction.....quite a lot actually.....

AND I know all the chants.....including. the rude ones.


but fine. have fun. I hope you all get red cards and are sent off....nasty boys.....sniff

[Eilzel]

So Dick Cheney calls George W. Bush into the war room and says, "Mr. President, we have bad news from Iraq. Four Brazilian soldiers were killed in combat last night."

The blood drains from Bush's face and he collapses into a chair. "Mr. President, are you all right?" Cheney asks.

Slowly, Bush looks up. "How many is a brazillion?" he asks.

..now Cass, there's just no point claiming only during warm up....

I've been told you don't look above a player's waist when free kicks and close up corners are being taken..
In fact you often like a glare at the defensive wall to watch the crotch area being covered with the hands during a free kick..., and apparently if the crotch is covered and a bulge still visible, it has been made known to me that is when you are at your happiest !!  

Save your rude chants for those bits Cass!


Why don't you start a female FFT here Cass?

That's prob true Irn! I think he's underestimated a tad though!, shame he's not getting a new contact at Celtic.

[Ben Reilly]

Brazil own-goal, first for Brazil in WC history!

Ta.

Well I was enjoying that until the stupid thing broke!

[Guest]

It's 3-1 Rags and into extra time, That was cracker the guy scored there!!!!!


Oscar scored it

[Raggamuffin]

Oh well, I know who's won anyway.   

[Ben Reilly]

3-1 final, I predicted the exact result but by no means how it would be achieved; if I were Croatia I'd feel rather shat upon by some of the refereeing.

[Irn Bru]

Very soft penalty award. But a double for one of our strike partnership in the Fantasy Football so I'm pleased with that.

  

[gerber]

Too blasteded expensive.

Guys drinking beer

We have to accommodate ourselves and drink whatever is available.

Children woken up by the screams of deluded men.....

Disgraceful

Note to forum

The screams do not happen at Queens or Wimbledon

Peasants the lot of you.

[Ben Reilly]

Nothing to scream about at Queens or Wimbledon, though, eh? Eh?

 ::d&f::
