I was referring to Don's.

I don't have to go through you to say what I want to say, thanks. When I think something's been heavily handled I'll say so.Who published the preconditions for a season's banning, is that post available?

I don't think it's necessary to say that cheating is against the rules. It obviously is.

Quote: Alfred J Kipper @ 10th September 2023, 8:49 PM

Whatever you say happened, doesn't mean the unilaterally made punishment fits the 'crime', especially when it's someone you've had a personal banterthon with and not always taken it in the manner I'm sure it was meant.

Yeah, Don and I have had words over the years and he knows what I think of him, he's disruptive and a hypocrite. Badge and Putters and at least one other person told me personally they wouldn't join the league because he was in it. He has a fondness for the rules - which is good - and believes, like me that people who don't participate in the commentary here shouldn't be part of the league. Unfortunately he doesn't believe that these rules apply to him and he is by his own admission not a team player. Nevertheless, my primary loyalty is to the Clique and the idea of the Clique as a BCG institution. That's why I made Don Manager of the Month pics. He was Manager of the Month and I thought I could say something funny about it so I did. I believe he and others liked them. That's where we were, before you created your bullshit breakaway league for him - I was putting in time to make pics for him, so don't try to make out this is about me having a rivalry or hatred for Don - it f**king isn't. He let the Clique down by by trying to gain an unfair advantage over everyone by messing about with multiple teams and then not entering. That's the reason for his one season ban.

Quote: Alfred J Kipper @ 10th September 2023, 8:49 PM

And yes I do think his own self exclusion for a season is a mitigating factor, whatever his reason for it was. All this has done has handed a very part time poster who hasn't challenged your ego in a banter duel the free rein to win without the top competition he once had. That's the short of it.

Don didn't play last year because he didn't get enough points from his first week. He didn't want to be chasing from the off and he personally believes that it's hard to come from the back and win it. Sportsmanship doesn't play any part in his thinking. He didn't want to come first one year and nowhere the next. It was nothing to do with me. Ideally we should all play every season - especially if we want to have a 'Hall of Fame' - and Don definitely does want that.

Yeah, Anton is a 'part-time poster', that's true, and I wish he wasn't. But at least he doesn't try to cheat. And he doesn't try to undermine the Clique, unlike you and Goodlad and Steve. As for depriving him of 'top competition' you insult everyone else by saying that.

I always play, I don't give up any more if my teams doing badly regularly post and don't try to undermine the league
any of them

It's a stitch up.

 😁 It's true you are one of the best posters in terms of quantity and quality and you do always compete. But you have encouraged Kipper by joining his bullshit league. Was there really any need for that?

Surely you are allowed to join as many Leagues as you like - if you have the same team.
Is there a rule that says you can't?

You call it 'bullshit league (which has merit) I prefer 'renegade league.
Megalomania is not an admirable trait.

With respect, I think you are missing the point, Stephen.

Managers of the Month (August)

Ding Don Clique

Don Rushmore - 161 pts

Up the Clique

Horse Radish - 187 pts

Super 6

Steve Sunshine - 28 pts

Come on, you're better than that.

No-one is complaining about anyone joining another league. You created a league to undermine Don's ban because you don't understand how he tried to cheat or don't care.

Then you post your bullshit league info in this thread, which is for the Clique.

You just make everything shit.

Tell that to Kipper.

Non Don-posters will be booted.

Although when I joined the other league I had no idea people were putting second teams in.
Is that still the case
If so then it's not worth bothering with

Nope, the ones that were have been booted.

No that's not still the case, they were turfed out. The league is not here to undermine the other league or inflate my ego but to simply include a player I believe has been harshly excluded. You're welcome, as is anyone else here, this is an inclusive little extra league for single team holders who want to test themselves against two triple champs, until the change in circumstances deem it's no longer needed.

Even Ivan Toney's allowed to train with his team even though he can't play for another four months, and he breached real life rules over 200 times. Don's allegedly breached one fantasy rule, was banned a whole season without trial and thus effectively banned from training too, not being in any other mini league. Now at least he can get some practice in.

Oh sorry Stephen you got there before me. Is this the first time we've not had a Friday kick off this season? I think I prefer the Saturday starts, gives me more time for fiddling.

Week 4 finds me playing my Wildcard, which is about usual as I wasn't happy with about half of my team, especially Rashford who didn't seem to be playing to his full potential........................

Yeah, I try not to use the wild card so early (I normally intend to wait until the Christmas matches/January), this is the earliest I've used it I think. Suspensions and injuries. Ended up keeping Rashford but benched him for this week.
