I'm not in the sweepstakes lads but "technically" shouldn't ye record the minute of the first yellow in the first group game games from EVERY GROUP then pay out going by the minute rather then the match as teams whos groups play first have a huge advantage?

Thats the luck of the draw.. if we start doing it based on all games and recording the times we would have to do it for red cards / OG's / etc .. so we will leave it at 1st Yellow.

Thats more quickest yellow than 1st yellow.

Yeah drop the first yellow in favour of earliest yellow or most yellows in group stage or something I'd say, the rest them are good.

Most Yellow's would be better then 1st yellow across all games.

I definitely agree with this, 1st yellow, 1st red, 1st peno and first o.g could theoretically happen in the first game, then things get boring (sweepstake speaking) until the final

I propose changing one of them to "team with the highest goalscorer"

Era if you have something to post about United throw it up and quit complaining nearly.

It would make it easier if you stopped being stubborn and made a new thread for it to stop clogging this one up. I for one don't want to read about the sweepstakes every other post. I'm sure there are others that feel the same.

NeVeR

OK to stop clogging it up.. I'm not posting anymore about it after this post..

Prizes will be as stated in this post http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=90587821&postcount=6857

If people have questions please PM me.

I will post one more update of paid players tonight at some stage.

C-ya's later guys.

Be nice to see a couple of players signed before the WC but not looking great at the moment

Looking unlikely now but the World Cup will be over for 16 of the teams by the 26th of June, another 8 by the 1st July. England for instance might not even make it out of the group stages so Luke Shaw could be finalised before the end of June in theory. Still plenty of time for integration into the squad.

Ok Lads

The deadline for payments is Tuesday 3rd June - If I get all 32 payments by midnight 3rd June i will do the Draw on the Wednesday. If I don't get them all I will remove the non payers and contact any Subs' we might have.

If I need to contact Subs I will give them until the Saturday 7th June to make payment and the draw will follow on the Sunday 8th June.

So all in all we will all know out teams by the 8th June.

I will record the team selections so everyone can see it's done fairly.

Payments

Please send all payments via paypal to david@davidstokes.com
Please send €10 as a Gift - or €11 the normal way ... Why i hear you ask... if you send €10 normal way ( not a gift ) it will become €9 something when it hits my account. When you send as a gift you can pay the paypal fees and I won't be left with 32 payments of €9 and have to make up all the extra

You can of course pay €11 the normal way which will turn into about €10.10 / €10.20

If you have any questions please reply here or PM me.

Total prize pool will be €320

Note: If it comes to the point where we don't have 32 players after subs etc I will open it up for people to buy a second team.

Off Topic: Ian Ladyman has shot down the Miranda link, not too surprised by that to be honest. Seemed to come out of nowhere, expect it was an agent trying to get more money from Atletico or Barca.

Oggo agrees

That was definitely the first or numerous rubbish links we will see this summer in regards players.

How about for thw sweepstakes instead of 1st yellow you have first man utd goal scorer at the world cup. Seeing as its basically a man utd fans sweepstakes. If no winner then that 20 goes onto the winners pot

Any truth in the Arda Turan rumour?

In fairness, the sweepstakes talk is hardly the worst topic of conversation that we have seen/will see throughout this summer.

The four or five pages spent defining a young player not too long ago was one highlight I can remember so far.

Mata should be the one out on the wing. Kagawa is the best technical player at the club so should be played through the middle. Simple as, I don't care if it's CM or AM, he has to play there.

Mata is a proven PL player. He's a better player than Kags too.

Kags cannot play centre mid. He's too lightweight. Gets pushed around all the time. Is not especially pacey and I'm also not convinced of his ability to either pass over long distance or to be tactically disciplined enough for the role.

The problem with him is he has to be played at ten to get the best out if him and we've better 10's therefore if one has to go it would be him in my opinion.

Maybe team with most goals from United players too. Not overly fond of the card prizes but not a big deal.

Only got 10 and at least 2 of those were guesses. I am ashamed. I've never had a good memory for minutiae though, and what kind of weirdo would know offhand how many times Wayne Rooney has been booked? :eek:

this Miranda link sounded bollix from the off, to me.

I do think the summer has already not gone to plan - as I believe United intended to have a deal or two done before the World Cup, would be shocked if we got one done before July at this point.

TheMilkyPirate

10/15 A good few were guesses. I've only been a casual follower of united since I was a young lad but only really started following them this season (I picked a good season to start!)

Haha ya it will be big.

At least last season had us linked with usual suspects with a few added here and there.

This year it's every player that plays football has been linked.

All we need now is be linked with few Liverpool players and we have completed the list

The sad thing is any one of the Midfield players linked would be an improvement. We are that bad there

Anyone know who Dave Goddard is? He is saying on Twitter we are looking at Damian Comolli as Director of Football. Can't link as on phone

Rayne Wooney

No self respecting club would go near Camolli, he's fùcked a lot more things up than not

His time at Liverpool alone should be enough of a deterrent, they still shudder at the sound of his name
