    Thanks guys, I'm fine. As Etienne surmises, my enthusiasm for the game has completely dissipated of late and doesn't feel like it's coming back. A busy workload isn't helping but, ultimately, the game is being allowed to die by its owners and because of that it's getting harder to enjoy.

    I've decided to bow out permanently, with my apologies to those of you running leagues that I'm a member of. I also need to hand off MLX to someone willing to step in - ideally somebody here. Please shout if you want it, if not I'll open it up to the rest of the league at the weekend.
    Sorry to hear that SdR. I've enjoyed our battles (such as they were), and hope you thrive without X11.....nothing worse than feeling you have to do something you're no longer enjoying... Hope you'll still post on OTF of course....

      Really sorry to hear this SDR but not overly surprised as the game is dying on its arse. Hope you'll still pop in on here or else see you on the mundane thread.

        Sorry to hear that, SDR, you'll be missed. Completely understandable, though. I guess I still enjoy playing the game and I don't spend a lot of time on it these days, but if there was an easy way out - say if the game died, or all OTFers quit at once - I'd be happy to take it.


        Meanwhile, congrats to Etienne on another title!

          Sorry to hear that SdR but totally understandable.

            Thanks SDR for all the hard work and the memories. See you on OTF.

              Thanks all, I'll certainly be loitering menacingly on OTF as always.

                Quick question... is it ever acceptable to mark the opposition's goalie? Just asking for a friend, like...

                  I think you could expect to be frowned upon, but not ostracised.

                    Yes, perfectly acceptable. Bit of a dick move, but that's football.

Our victims in the last 16 were the no.2 seed, i.e. last season's runner-up, Underdogs FC. They are a sometime Champions League team because of their Cup achievements.

                        But Banik got the 4-0 result they needed in the OTF League. Except, well, it was meant to be 4-0 to us, not against us...

                            Hehe, no it's one of my 'official' teams. One of our upcoming opponents* had a 'last line-up' which featured a goalie with a rating of 21 while the highest outfield player was 15....

                              Many congrats to the division winners/promoted teams*, especially Etienne, of course, and commiserations to the demoted/relegated...

                              PS Is it time someone updated the 'Honour Roll'...?

                                Yeah, I've marked a goalie in a similar scenario. No idea whether there was a Rangers supporter involved, though.

                                  Unlucky, getting to the QFs is still some major achievement. Is that the best result for an OTFer in an official league?

                                    What's the latest with the admin situation in the MLX? I presume some behind closed doors negotiations are taking place with multiple resignations to follow.

                                    If no OTFer wants to take it on and we want the MLX to stay with an OTFer I would be prepared to do it although I don't want to be known as the admin that killed the MLX.

                                      I've reached the semi final in an official Cup. I think that VA (wherever he is) has done similarly too.

                                        Didn't Bill's Islay Inebriates have a glory run to the Golden League cup final a few seasons ago?

                                          No negotiations are happening Antep, so far as I know you're the first express an interest. If that's a genuine offer I'd be happy to hand over the position? Like any good leader, you'd be free to spend the next four years blaming your predecessor for any issues.

                                            Well remembered, Sits. Season 39. Go on Antepli!

                                              No expectations if you do it Antep, just thanks. And to SDR for what must have been a slog.

                                                I'm really an if nobody else wants it kind of guy here. Surely somebody else wants to take it on.

                                                  I'd completely forgotten that. An amazing achievement that and apologies for forgetting.

                                                    How did everyone's change report go in OTF? After pipping ad hoc to the title mine was disappointing, the cavalier very offensive tactic does not help the defence at all. I've got no chance of staying up next season either, I'm debating whether to sell and rebuild again.
