Awesome job by both of you this team is looking very interesting. Not so sure about the Bunghole nickname, Koop may have a word to say about that one he has been cracking down a bit recently apparently. For Rhys Melmeth how about Heisenberg? What about Chetnik for Kosta Perišić?

good ideas guys. We shall look to change and add some.

anyone else got some suggestions?

Yeah, I thought that about Bunghole, just wasn't sure 'TP for my' would have rolled so smooth.

Also about Ofato (Fanny Pack) Feeney I always thought of him as "Fatty" or 'Fatso". I used to have hair like that but my coach made be cut it off he said real athletes don't have hair like that so it makes me think he isn't athletic as well as the obvious name link.

Great work WK & PT.

Appreciate all your efforts.

48 all in the big game which will decide if we make the World Cup. Hungary have used a CT but we are still in this game.

Lost our starting SF to injury but the replacement is our top scorer having only played 10 mins of the 1st half.

Was one point in it at 3/4 ime but in the end the CT was too much to over come. Was not willing to go CT and go into the World Cup with poor Enthus. So unless there is some miracle we are in the Cons Tourn again.

Use of enthusiam for a repechage is a tough call.

My understanding is that if we dont make the Worlds we fall back into another tournament where we are disadvantaged in that we have less games to play to qualify for the next round.

So whilst it would be bad to go into worlds with no enthusiam it would have even been worse if we had of fallen into the other tournament with no enthusiam
