    Yeah i second this.

    I am picking up my passport tomorrow, if you go first thing in the morning doyler they will issue you with an emergency passport, but if i were in your shoes i would just bluff it, the guy at the gate never checks the date on the passport, if anything when you hold your passport up cover the date with your finger, all they look for is your photo.

    I guess he could play stupid doing that

    But It's not gonna be checked once, It's checked multiple times
    Once before you enter the terminal, second getting on the plane

    **** would hit the fan too if he was stopped at the Glasgow airport.:/

    The flight was too early for passport office. Also u need to give details of ur passport to check in online.
    Otherwise I'd have to pay an extra 60 to check in person.. Not worth it for a risk. I looked it up and if u check in at the airport with ryanair they take down all ur passport details. Had no options left really. Sucks a bag of dicks.

    That sucks Doyler. Would it cost much to transfer onto the later flight? Could do that and try for the emergency passport?

    Good luck to the rest of ye.

    Do me a favour and ask what the deal is with the Manchester scene for banter and heading there for casuals and ****, I'd like to head up from Liverpool some time to get my ass handed to me. <3

    Cheers Affro, the tournament was brilliant. Thanks again for everything, ye Scots are a sound lot.

    To summarise the Irish results:

    3rd Strike teams: 1st place

    UMVC3 teams: 4th place (we got DQed first round of winners, losers bracket all the way to semis). Absolutely sick comebacks from both Lythero and Nutrient in different matches (Nutrient with the Cap comeback vs 3 characters, no xfactor! Was unreal).

    SF4: Myself, Ramza and Chunkis all made it to top 32 (second group stage) and were then knocked out.

    UMVC3 singles: Lythero 5th, Nutrient 13th.

    Might be missing one or two things, not sure.

    Damn I thought I came 12th:/

    Got randomed out in losers by a fraudulant Dark Phoenix player of all things.

    Dreddy won a match in marvel with no H button configed which was gdlk lol

    Scotland defo has at least 4 good marvel players, [rest were top-tier frauds:p] fecking Vergil with Doom's Molecular shield assist.
    We'll have some video footage of the trip eventually so look forward to that.

    Have some work to do, work on Zero match up and random Phoenix hypers:/

    P.S

    Doyler let down the Marvel team...Big Style :p

    Just home now

    Chuffed with the result! Really happy about beating Ryan, I cannot say at all I am a better player than him but on the day I feel I played my best and we 100% deserved to win. I had a lot of fun at this event, it was definitely great craic and I feel I levelled up just from playing lots of SFIV casuals

    Ye lads were so sound, really helpful staff and the venue was great. I'm going to post up this stuff and more in the feedback thread on VS so as to not clog this thread

    Off to sleep now, zzzz

    That was so hype to watch live man. Congrats!

    I have no idea how you kept your nerve. I was watching it eating my lunch and in the last round of the last match, my hands were shaking :pac:

    I respect Ryan tonnes and sitting down to play him wasn't scary as I thought. I just visioned him as another obstacle, but one I couldn't either underestimate or overestimate (both to my own peril). It was mental and I just sat down and seperated the player from the game and didn't let it mind **** me. I wasn't really shaky or very nervous at all, I just played how I would against Ken, and won. It was amazing. Sure I was a little nervous, since it was a final, but I took chunkis' advice he gave me loads before that I can't let the stature of my opponent mind**** me before the match even starts, and I didn't :)
