  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,909 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6

    There are no rules as such it just has to be a good piece people are interested in A)reading and B)voting for you.So If somebody was to post a Man Love thing about Torres it may well be a good article but may not get the votes.

    Ah it's just force of habit. I'm used to having to keep to tight deadlines so once I get an idea I just go for it. Hate leaving things on the back burner.

    You may be better off holding off encase you want to change anything,but its up to you.


    A couple of points,if we find anybody canvassing even via PM it will mean a automatic expulsion from the competition.

    Also if we find you just nicked somebody else's article you will also be banned.

    I don't think ether will be an issue but it had to be said.

    Must be a fairly substantial prize to warrant a ban for plagiarism!

    I posted these somewhere earlier on the thread.I am thinking of putting the first 10 up next Wednesday afternoon,this should give you loads of time even if you are on the beer for the weekend.

    I will leave that poll up for 5/6 days and then post up the next 10.I will want all 20 articles in by Tuesday night Wednesday morrning so nobody will have an advantage.

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,879 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    if there was a spot left id be in love threads like this could get some real good discussion going imo and prove how much some posters actually know aswell as how coherently they can put their point across if they actually try

    Struggling for a topic at the mo. Had a good lead that materialised into nothing. It was basically on how Gheorghe Hagi is now a European scout at Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Thought the randomness might be a winner but it's a bit of a dead story as he's only found them one player.

    Back to the drawing board.

    If anyone wishes to take my place, go for it, as i said something unfortunate in another thread and may be banned annoyingly.
