Has Bobby been approached? It’ll be a shame to draft without his cheerful demeanor

[Sheer Magnetism]

I'm out, but should be around for something soon.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

I sent him a PM

[Trendisnotdestiny]

In

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Yessss Trend lad!

[Hazell]

If no one else signs up, we'll start it tomorrow with 10 of us

That's short notice, I have a couple of Italian lads in mind and Gerrard, until I remembered he went on a sojourn to America.

We got 11 now, so we can wait another day to get 12 and give you lot time.

[Hazell]

I'm only messing, I'll do a Samie and wing it. I'm sure no one will notice.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

If we get no one else in, then sometime tomorrow I'll start it off with the 11 of us.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Will get this going later today

[El Lobo]

So are we going with current players also allowed, but over 25 years old?

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Current players allowed, no age restrictions.

[El Lobo]

FFS, stuck between senile Sarge and anti-Vax Andre

[Linudden]

Poor defacto already has one complaint to deal with then 

[deFacto please, you bastards]

and off we go, baresi and Maldini gone

[Crosby Nick]

The boring pricks are out in force already I see.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

The boring pricks are out in force already I see.

Get them out the way now

[Lawnmowerman]

The boring pricks are out in force already I see.

you're alright nick

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Born in Jamaica - weak sauce - Barnes 😂

Played how whole country in the country he represented. I play by the rules.

Correctomundo

[Crosby Nick]

Correctomundo

Thank you.

I frankly feel insulted that my good name has been sullied, but for now I will continue.

[Betty Blue]

and off we go, baresi and Maldini gone

Somewhat surprised people are jumping for defenders first given there are so few top attackers in this.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

My initial plan was go to go for an attacker, but they're all so unlikeable for the most part, I couldn't do it

Let me tell you about John Barnes Betty. Far more than just a great left back.

I know you do Nick...  Just taking some wee pee

[Betty Blue]

How is Baggio unlikeable!? Who doesn't love his ponytail.

There is some logic in picking the top defenders first though. Considering 80% of the attackers in this will be below the normal GOAT level of drafting, in theory a great defence would be unstoppable in this. But that depends on the voters appreciating that too

That's the curse of being the first pick, it's too hard to resist picking the best player. I have a few attackers in mind but I suspect they will be gone soon.

So are Scots who played in England, while also playing for Scotland and Scottish clubs allowed? I have no one particular player in mind. 

[XabiArt]

Oh this has caught me off guard. I'm next after Trend and have a man in mind.

[Crosby Nick]

If they played in Scotland as well as England they’d be out.

A Scottish international who has only played in England (e.g. Che Adams) is fine. I think.

[XabiArt]

Sarge hasn't been on since last night so we may be waiting now.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Nope they are not.

Nope. The only reason there is an exception for the Welsh is because they have clubs in English leagues.

He was one of my favorite players, but I haven't gotten over that penalty still 

[Crosby Nick]

Sigh.

Sorry Che, I’m going to have to let you go.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Nope. The only reason there is an exception for the Welsh is because they have clubs in English leagues.

That's a bit sinister - a player like John Robertson who played for Scotland and only in the English league is the exact kind of player you'd want in this draft.

But alas, more work to be done

[Linudden]

Nope. The only reason there is an exception for the Welsh is because they have clubs in English leagues.

So, suddenly Giggsy Wiggsy is available or what's going on here? 

[Crosby Nick]

I’m absolutely cursing the Vancouver Whitecaps at this point by the way. Gang of knobheads.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

So, suddenly Giggsy Wiggsy is available or what's going on here? 

He is not. The exception is only for English players that fit that criteria
