Riley's snooker 2-9 the better halfs

Great performance again from us tonight slowly creeping up that table now to big wins in 2 weeks well played my lot!!! Also want to wish Riley's snooker best of luck in the remainder of there season nice bunch and nice food

Yes the halfs!!!

---

refugees in hand 5v6 prop ....in my eyes thought we wer deservedly 6.1 up ,it could ov been closer but around that mark woz about right,n then the prop sensed a big result n a crack at the title n there arses fell out big time again,yes our opponants played sum gr8 shots during the match but we came to the table with the balls looking massively in our favour in many ov the frames but we twitched the last 4 frames away...we cannot possibly win the league if we dont take care ov business wen we find ourselves with table control/advantage,the refugees av sum dangerous attacking players who ada good go at us tonight but in truth wen sum ov there attempted dishes stalled we should never ov let them av the chance to see there last ball/balls again...wel played refugees for the fight back n wel done to the Eagles for winning ur 57th title...prop simply aint got the minerals,wel do wel to nick 2nd spot...enjoyed the nite n there company proper nice guys ina nice lil pub but sadly didnt enjoy the last 4frames to much :angel:

---

Eagles 8-3 forum
Good performance from us again. A couple of frames could have gone either way but i think we deserved the win.
One of the tricky matches of the season which we came through !

---

Warbank 6 Unpredictables 5

---

Cuemasters 5 - 6 Magnum

I don't know whether it was because of the match "the world wanted to watch" but this was a pretty awful game, apart from Martin Duncan who was potting them off the lampshades.

---

How did u get on in ur first game danny??and jacko did u win yours?

---

3/3 for me why?

---

Cause he thinks he gonna win the rankings :violin:

---

Well done mate...and yh just wondered cos of rankings.and yh i have a good chance...where are u again neil???

---

Not this year mate but came 2nd last winter for MeV to just won it as I was really close behind but you got 6 games left and u will lose at least 1 or 2 looooool :boxer:

---

As u said LAST SEASON lol.bit tougher in div 2...so your not croydons no 1...ur croydons no 2 lool

---

That's right and we should stop talking on this thread as it belongs to division 1 mate and I can wait till next season as we will be on this thread :boxer:

---

Neil v terry money game both your chance to see who has the last laugh......


I no who I would put my money on!! ;)

---

2/2 young terrence....to b honest m8 the ranking points r stil complete b lox ,in div 1 every single week uv gota play a div 1 player who can break dish u at a blink ova eye n yet guys in div 2 get almost the same points as us wen there beating a div 2 player...theres a massive difference...also 5points for a league cup win,wata joke...i promise u i mean no offence to no1 but truth is the point system is very wrong...neil sori m8 u werent the 2nd best player in croydon last year there isa massive bias to lower divisions hench wev ad a few div2 guys b ranked 1 in recent years which actually makes a mockery ov our league n the rankings...terry luv u to bits m8 but if u wer in div1 ud find it tough to get as hi in the rankings as u r n same for neil last year or others who av won it...the points do not reflect the actuall percentages n ability requirement...:angel:

---

O yea 1 more thing m8 bunter did not play last nite but dont no if u no that or not...he woz punished for bein a naughty boy again :angel:

---

Can't believe I am going to say this but I have to jacko I 100 percent agree with u Neil and terry done very well last season to get where they did and well done lads for that but jacko has a massive point there on how the point system works doesn't justify how hard u have to work in div 1 for every frame nothing's a gimme.

---

kellogs losing to bucks at the nationals must of lifted your game :angel:

---

Uh? Baffled with that comment 2 bucks?

---

Omg I just clocked on yeah london lost to bucks it was a pretty bad Yarmouth for us tbh but we march on I suppose always next year.....:angel:

---

As for rankings it is flawed and reasons are very obvious.
The way round imo would be to extend winning points for frames all the way to the final of the league cup as the early rounds for div 1 players are a bit of a joke. It means the lesser teams will most likely get booted early.

---

Do u no wat Metin at the end ov the season that system would giv a truer reflection Ov players abilities but Iv always thought u should b judged individually wen it cums to rankings n wat uv actually done,hench I got doubles points halved even tho I believe there should not b ranking points for the doubles as ur not playing all ur shots n with ur system ud only get extra points if u played ina strong team n not if ur team played awful so can't see how u can b judged by ur team m8s efforts....I believe the truest standings would b achieved if u elbowed the doubles out Ov it,increased div1 from 5.25 to 6 n reduce league cup 1st stage from 5 to 4 n increase the ko singles by 1frame all the way thro....all I no is Iv won the most individual frames many years (at least6/7) winning singles n individuals n not won the rankings them years coz ova flawed system...it's all to late for me as my time as past but it would b good for the future if u could b judged by ur ability n u could look at the standings in the rankings n the top 10players wer roughly the top 10players :angel:

---

The doubles being halved has changed things slightly and your correct. The rankings though should be about an individual performance but still be based around the team doing well also. It means u get the better players:
A. Wanting to get their team through and therefore not hiding behind an easy win as they know if their team goes out they miss out on ranking points in the future.
B. you dont end up with people who care more about their ranking points than their team , which im sure there are a lot of them about.

I agree its harder in the top division and if your a div 1 player in div 2 then you have a chance at the moment but that persons sacrifice for playing in a weaker division/team means his team are unlikely to compete in the finals of events and hence miss out on ranking points in the latter stages.

---

I dont disagree with any of the above.and im clearly not the best player in croydon.it wld just be nice to see my name there.i dolidnt do well last season danny as i hardly played mate.but jacko and mets points are valid.especially as neil was in div 3 when he finished2nd.and div 3 is alot easier than 2 and 1...i cant wait to play in div 1as it will help my game no end.but i still won all my games in league cup including playing and beating 2 div 1 players and only lost one and missed one in league.this is my first full season so im happy to finish top 5.and there are still most of the top croydon players in the top 10.id also like to see extra points in the further rnds of league cup...as for a money match with neil im more than happy to play.i have offered him many times to which his DECLINED....just out of curiosity whos ur money on mr kellogs lol??

---

Thought we agreed to play for ?20 when we come to you and the one frame ?20 as I know you just can't beat me mate, league games, friendly games,:whip: and in 2 weeks time when we smash you lot we will be very close and we will see who loses their bottle :boxer: BRING IT ON

---

As i have said-BLAH BLAH BLAH....Do ur talking on the table...and as for ?20 im not really interested.any one can win 1 frame as u have proved plenty of times....im talking ?100-200 race to 15...all that money u have won at poker u shld have it to LOSE...who ever wants to play for a score???as u keep stating ur better than me so it shldnt be a problem...and well done on ur 2 out of 2 jacko.take it ur shoulders ok now lol :D:

---

i wish tel,im justa stubborn so n so..played 5th n 6th so dont giv it time to flare up..am due a neck operation in 6 to 8 weeks to remove a vertebrae n there isa 1 in 300 chance ov bein paralised or 1 ina 1000 chance ov meeting the grim reaper,mite ava tena ew on that...n metin wen u talk about playing for the team, iv been loyal to my teams n rose from lower divisions wen i could ov left them n played for the best sides to achieve more,i believe in team loyalty but ur system may wel get all the best players playing in 1 or 2 teams...i believe in the team n team passion but individual rankings is an individuals effort n should b treated as such...:angel:

---

Oh sorry to hear that mate.hope everything goes well..i dnt think met meant u wasnt a team player.each point is valid though...neil on the other hand needs to stop talking and man up and play me instead of waffling all the time with his blah blah blah lol

---

Jacko i was not in anyway aiming that comment at you i was just saying that some players take the rankings/individuals more importantly than the league.
The extra points are for teams that last longest in the cup but they still have to win their frames.
Like premiership football its rare that youll find the player of the year in the bottom team !
Your right in that the best players wana play for the best teams but that doesnt mean they can as there are a lot of good players in the league .in truth the top of the table hasnt been much different from when i started in croydon and the players will the majority of the time stick with who they know. I dont imagine people will leave a team to join a better side in order to win the rankings.

---

Also your way would mean no one would wana play in lower divisions as they will get less points for a win and would mean players trying to play 1st div pool as they get more points for a win!

---

Rankings using my point system would b as follows 1st metin n billy 112...3rd mev 110...4th jacko 107...5th terry 103.75...6th kelloggs n eddie 103...8th bomber 101...9th sweaty n martin 96...this does not include week 12 results n kelloggs as question mark for week 11 so if he won that week he would b on 109...now obviously with an extra frame in the singles it may alter things a little but to me that asa fair look about it as there r sum big names up there mixed with other solid players who r avin a good season...these points include the 5points u get for entering the singles...i would imagine whoever won it using this system would b a top player n prob played the best pool this season,the math seems right to me :angel:

---

Although this is one of the most boring threads i have ever read, & thats saying something on this site these days. Regardless of how the rankings system works if a player from division 2 is high in the rankings surely its still something to be recognised as an achievment, otherwise there would be dozens of decent division 2 players near the top because it was so much easier to get points.

If you are the only division 2 player in the top 5 or there are only 2 in the top 10 then (Thats only 20%) then that still shows you have had a pretty good season even if the ranking points are a bit flawed.

OK, forget everything i have just said the system is complete rubbish, i have just noticed Paul Saxton is ranked number 11:roll:

---

Got to agree with met on his post the other day. Winning singles,doubles & rankings is a bonus. The league is what it's all about. To many players get distracted by this. Y do we need to know through out the season who is where in the rankings & divisionals. It's a great bonus to win these events so y not keep it disclosed until the season is over. Then we wouldn't have these distractions.

---

Thats a great idea ricky!!!

---

Get rid of the lot IMHO. It means absolutely nothing to me, and never has. I would swap 10 #1 rankings trophies for 1 Division 1 League Champions, everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.

I am 100% convinced if a player was playing for himself as opposed to the aims of the team he/she wouldn;t be there for long.

Said this before we had a final league game which we had to win to win the league. Danny Evans was top of the Divisionals and top of the Rankings, and our opponents had 5 players, so postion 7 was a bye. Danny tentatively asked if he could play 7, but wasn't really serious as he knew the answer would be a categoric no! No hystionics, just got on with it and even though he lost his frame, won them anyway. We won the league though as I am sure Danny will admit thats the thing that matters most.

---

Kellogg's did win his frame that week just to add :angel:

---

not every1 plays for the eagles tho paul n aint got much chance ov winning the league,y do people think just coz u wana win as many trophies as poss it means ur not a team player...last time i won the rankings i could ov ada bye but choose a different position to play the frame n actually win it,n i win as many or if not more 2nd frames then 1st frames so yes got2 giv ur all for the team,the way u lot bang on is as if the div1 winter league trophie is the only 1 wat counts n how ard is that to win wen ur odds on favourites for it every year n uv got all the best players..rankings,singles,doubles,cup games giv us all a chance to compete n enjoy the pressure but fck all that sht its only the league thats counts aint it...n brooker saxton would smash u up on the pool table n on the golf course...:angel:

---

Can feel a little argument coming on

---

So even in ur points system id still be 5th..and brooker ur right.ive payed well all season.and even though im.playing div 2 there are still very good players who are capable of dishing....uv got miller,watkins,darren leech etc who may i add are no where near the top 10.and all very capable of beating and competing with the best in croydon.im a team player too.im just saying it wld be an achievement to do well in the overall rankings as this is the 1st i have done a full season and took it a bit more serious.im looking forward to the summer in div 1 as im sure ill learn alot more which is my whole plan.and to hope to give top players a good game and maybe even win a few :D:

---

tel n y would u b 6th (kelloggs jumped us both with his missing win) coz uv ada gr8 season n deserve to b up there m8 but wen u look at the season sum ov the div1 players av ad i think its fair that it would work out that they would b above u ,met,mev,billy n danny all class players who av ad good seasons aswel in a tougher arena ,not taking nothing away from how wel uv done just think they av done better than u n better than me yea :angel:

---

Not doubting you there mate.im still learning and and sone of the named have played many more yrs than me.the next yr will be a massive learning curv for me.so hopefully ill be able to compete with the big boys soon n whoop ur old arse lol

---

Point made. Rankings rankings rankings. U lot bore the *******out of me.

---

Wen u get into the top 50 rick u mite find it more interesting ,if u find it boring ignore it simple ain't it...didn't u play out ov position to beat MeV the other year to win an individual trophie? Thought it woz all about the team? Double standards? :angel:

---

Lol.true no ones falsing u to read it....

---

I would love to see croydon do a dream team some great players in this league every league shud do an elite special dream team imagine croydons team would be quality! Play in a champions league style think croydon cud be special wud like to see something like that happen!

---

How is that then all I done is wished him good luck for the final and to beat the unpredictables on Monday and to be honest what's it got to do with you I think
Me and you ?100 first to 10 at farleys when are you free you have to give me a couple of weeks notice as I'm tied up with moving so lets book it :bite:Call me and let me know :handshake:

---

Gonna be rooting for Neil tel as u did for the prop in the final against us..... I think Neil is a decent lil player not saying u can't play the game but u may come a bit in stuck coz Neil can play let me no the date I will even ref!!

---

kellogs anyone holding a book.... and if so whats the odds cos i fancy my money on mayweather as i see neil play once and hes a complete choppper when it comes to finishing ..... his bottle and rear end drops :lol:

ill play u after terry has demolished you ,....
and send you back to were you belong div 5 :chicken:

---

Up the props arses???i was stiring it..and i honestly thought they wld win.credit where credit is due.better halfs kept there heads and played some quality pool....i wasnt shocked as both good teams.its all a good laugh...and neil paul made it further than me.but i did have trevor herbert and had about 3shots.including a break...point is u didnt make it further than me.just like u wnt be playing tonight either cos u and ur teams out

---

true we are out but thats our own fault as we played 4 of them games with 4 players, but we will bounce back as we still learning in the higher division, we will wait come next week, hope you get stuffed tonight hahahahahahahahahahahaha

---

U can hope as much as u want...i think ur forgetting im still learning too neil..ive only been playing a while.and a lot less longer than u and most players...

---

Ok neil.im sure it wldnt be u.so who wld it be lol.even ur own friend my leech said its a win for me haha

---

Ginger ill give u a thought untouchable !!!
If u want a real money match my old team against yours !
Wait that would be unfair because Kellogg's was part of mine

---

hahahahahaha you are a funny little geezer:dance: aint you, i have respect for everybody who has achieved something yes, and as for having a team, i have a very strong team now ,and now we going into the last few games, with confidence of beating last weeks leaders, and the way we played, you wouldnt get in my team,
why dont you grow some balls and help the refugees out instead of avoiding division 1 you :chicken:

---

really thats funny he just called me and said he so confident i will SMASH YOU he would pay the ?100 if he can get something out of it,{ no change there same old leechey}

so put that in your pipe and smoke it, hahahahahahahaha

---

ok your on after this season {as we want to concentrate on promotion,} you pick 4 players from your current team and yourself against me and 4 players for how much ?100/?150 whatever,

---

Well he told me the same so he must be lying to someone.either way i dont care...i know ur game and it aint pool...its trying to get in to peoples heads so that wen they play u that there thinking i cant lose to neil hall....blah blah blah.u chat more *******than RAMBO......wen we play it will tell the whole story..we can play tonight if u want????

Grant Westbrook
Alan Memhet
Jan Zalewski
Tony bailey
Still I have to ask ... Are you really sure :chair:

---

Terry ... Really don't waste no more of your time on this fool !

---

Nice team mate but that was back in the day and as I have Nelio now i don't know the rest apart from tony bailey who used to be in my team about 15 years ago in peckham and i know Danny and Joel who play for the better halfs who have for the last 2 years now so back in the day you had that team but mr waters im not from the past so yes I'm calling you out NOW you dwarf you tell me when you get 4 players and yourself we can have a team money match are you up for it or NOT,
At the moment it can be as your so close to brindle who's close to Shawn,
Andy waters
Terry brindle
Shawn Nash
So 2 more and then you have your team and when you find the next two I will tell you my 5 loooooooool BRING IT ON BALDIE :boxer:

---

Sorry I forgot to mention mark Rambo Ramsey !!
Neil if you had read I said my old team ... Wait Danny brown how thoughtless of me too forget !! Stick with playing mr brindle Kellogg's has decided to bring in another doubles partner as his rear has gone with you :bite:

---

Right that's enough kids this has now become more than boring handbags at dawn stuff. Neil contact Terry and arrange a date that is good for both of you for your money match, Andy there's wont be a 4 or 5 man team money match between you and Neil so there is no point continuing with that thread either. lets all leave it at that.


1981 div 7 secretary runner up:trophytwo:

---

No im up for a 5 man team.im bringing bunter and miller....im not gunna waste any more time.as every one approached me and said ill win hands down.even knocky said it to kellier.....no more talk.arrange a date and im there.a few people will be there and said im too strong for u in a first to ten.and cant wait to see u get ur arse handed too u xx

---

And i thought it was ur team with his 5????u do look stupid wen u have said a few times ur gunna have a money match and have ur excuses of y u cant play.
