Make it a STEEL CAGE DEATHMATCH and charge ?10 entry for spectators, we might be able to raise enough money for a decent presentation night?  |

Yes Dan, this thread was meant to be about me!! I think out of all the replies that were posted (over 30), only one was actually an offer to me!
Thank goodness for PMs and texting.
So when is this money match going to be, and for how much??
This thread was started to prevent the hijacking of your "Player Available" thread Steve!
The clue for what this thread is about is in the title!  |

Andrew, let me just try and clear up 'my position' on this once and for all - before you continue to make yourself look a 'complete' cock.
1. You initially offered me a bet. That bet was 'loser quits Croydon pool' forever. I rejected that offer. Firstly, because if I chose to accept that kind of bet the outcome in defeat far outwayed the pro's in victory. Having spent 20 years with the same team and helped make the Eden what they are today, I don't think any of my current players would thank me for taking on such a farcical bet.
On the other hand you have nothing to lose by proposing such a bet to me. You jump from one team to the next team, from one season to the next season you are playing here and there, in the process you are fucking off this team and that team as you go along. Your lifespan in this league is limited anyway because nobody would miss you.
You have played most your Croydon career in the lower divsions, nothing wrong in that, but then you claim to have won this that and the other whilst playing in Division 1. We all know you sat the best part of one season on the bench for the Unpreds and then the best part of one season on the bench for the Drillers, so your claim to being an ''integral part of history making'' is, on the face it - utter Andrew Waters fantasy fanny. Nobody can argue you may have been registered for those sides and played the 'odd' game here and there when but thats about it. We all know what you have really contributed to Divsion 1 in your time in Croydon - and that is sweet fuck all sunshine.
So you I hope you will try to understand I will always have so much more at stake to lose than you will ever have by accepting such an offer. I have never stood up and said ''I am the best'' and nor will I ever claim to be the best - but for 10 years in Div 1 - I have slapped my nuts out on their chopping board and gone toe to toe, shoulder to shoulder, with Croydon's best. You will never better that fact.
Secondly, it was a childish offer - not even close to be a reasonable bet - which is the real reason I actually rejected it.
Which after rejecting the offer - leads me on to YOUR POST:
Posted by ANDREW WATERS on 24-02-2009 15:57
this is all a boring 2 me now... alex u wanna game money match or not pm me or just do what your best at first div is wank they was 2 much moaning and knobs in it 4 me..thats y i left and yes my old mate dave i did help a newly created farley team 2 win div 5.. if i remember i did that cos i always promised 2 play 4 a farley team and this time kept my promise
Before we get onto the main part of your post. ''first div is wank''. And we are ''knobs''. There are quite a few nasty individuals in Div 1 who will take quite an offence to that comment. For someone who claims to have helped ''make history in Div 1'' these comments are a sad and harsh reflection on those players who you may have played with then, or currently ply their trade week in week out in the top flight. I think the majority of us in Div 1 would agree, however, on one very universal thing - you a'int worth a 'wank'.
Anyway, back to the first line of your quote Andrew - 'alex u wanna game money match or not'' - of course this is not the best use of English grammar though I did get the jist of your proposal.
My reply was something along the lines of ''I'll happily accept your offer to play you for money''.
I then created a new thread and said something like ''just ask me how much I will play for''. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seemed to have back tracked somewhat? You seem to be trying to back out of your initial proposal to have a money match? Or maybe it is just a case of you have forgotten what you wrote?
Basically, I think you have lost your bottle.
And that is where we are at now.

Dave, i think andrew does mean ?500 per man & may when season finishes, But not first to 30 but a best of 30... meaning there can be a draw of 15-15. As andrew said in the other thread he played someone for money and it ended in a draw(cant remember who it was and too lazy to look )
As for no D/F and no fudging..... WTF  ??!!??, Why not play straight pool ?
Also can i play winner with a broom stick and play for Snicker bar or the cash for one (about 60p) ?? ...Nel fancy it

Thank's Alan... Now Andrew please confirm... Then The Power can respond and, end all the crap chat... I know what Andrew was talking about when he said it was a draw... Him and Rab Harkness had a bet on the outcome of their last match in a Farley Singles League but, this is a money match... So a draw can't be an option... Just my thoughts... Andrew respond... Alex... Accept or Regect... Simple...

I think one of the key factors with money matches is that they are played for money.

Farley, this far from sorted I am afraid. A million miles off. At present I can only agree to two of Andrew's proposals and that comes with a condition clause.
Andrew - in response to your proposal.
1. Match distance : Not accepted.
Not sure what you mean by that. If you mean first to win 30 frames then thats not for me. I am planning on spending as little as much time in your company that day and therefore playing first to 30 and a potentially 59 frames would take forever to complete. If you mean a match distance of 30 frames, again I am not interested. I have no desire to play for 4+ hours for their to be a prospect that the match may be drawn 15-15. Unless you are willing to offer me the draw as well, there has to be a positive result.
2. Clause no DF or fudge: Not accepted.
Are you on the white stuff or something? We are playing a pool match for money. Why do you want that clause added? I know exactly why, and it's because you want to prevent me from playing my style of game. I work for my openings in frames and thats why you want no snookers, & no DF's played. It is nice to know that I am clearly inside your head all ready. 
3. End of season: Accepted.
I presume you mean end of Winter season? Which is May.
One condition: I am happy to play you in May 2009 - my fitness permitting. This is not an excuse. I am not close to 50% fit at present and I won't play you unless my back is good. However, I have 3 months to make it happen.
4. Venue JFK's: Not accepted.
Two reasons.
A. Because despite what you would like to make out JFK's is not a 'neutral' venue and I am advised that you use JFK's to practice.
B. Because this is match is being talked up on the site, I feel we should use a venue situated in Croydon. Only venues that come close to hosting this match are Hurricane Rooms, Farley or Suzy Q's. Hurricane is your current venue - so that counts that out. Suzy's is an option for both of us. As for the Farley - we have both played for teams at the Farley and we both know the tables so there is absolutely no advantage gained by either person. I therefore propose the Farley as the venue and as gesture of my goodwill I'll allow you to choose the table.
5. ?500: Accepted.
One condition. Each party deposits their ?500, at least 7 days before the match is scheduled to be played. The money is held with an agreed neutral third party until after the conclusion of the match.

What is Andy on?
When you've finished with him, Alex, I'll play you too..
Best of 1000 frames (as apparently 'best of' matches are now played to an even number)
Match to be played at a neutral venue - so I'll nominate Table 4 at Suzy Q's.
Oh, and you're not allowed to pot the black.
Looking forward to it, mate.

One of the funniest comments i've heard for a while.
Can you both play in fancy dress as well? Andy can wear a white shirt and a pair of jeans and come as Homer Simpson. D |
