So, natch, all us inferior slobs get to start again from next weekend. Fixtures from the BBC. Games played 27th-30th March only, please. & could a kindly mod change the title to alert the public we're starting over, please? Ta, ever so much. :)
Can we add a rule that you can't pick the same team to lose twice, too? I mean, the only reason this ended was that people thought it was too dull to bet against Weymouth...

No objections, but obv it's up the the old vox populi. Thoughts, persons?
Hmm, seems a tad too complicated for me. Just reckon Brumbers should have a discretion to say "no matches involving Weymouth whilst they're in extremis", or if any other team has this type of thing happen.

EDIT: I do agree something should be done though.

I won't be selecting Weymouth's opponents again - having gone for them twice last time I have to say I'm pleased GIMH won - would have felt embarassed if I had - I have come to the view that picking on Weymouth is not in the spirit of the game - can't imagine a bunch of gents like us requires legislation though

Nah, we need legislation, I'm afraid there's Aussies that do picks too:ph34r:

So for young Samuel's idea:

We have two possibles:

Anyone else's input is appreciated.

Tempted to put Rochdale in to be honest. Especially if we play ****ing Russel/Asprilla, but realise that would be disloyal.

So I'll go for Torquay against Mansfield please.

After winning with safe bets last time out, gonna stick my neck on the line and back Luton

Cheltenham. I have no idea who they're playing, I'm just investigating a hypothesis that I'm as well just randomly selecting a team :p

I like the idea of not backing a team to lose twice as well, there's plenty of options to choose from after all.
