Blundells 8-6 Prop

Great game last night and great support for blundells, felt like everyone in frames wanted us to win. Oh, they did!

We played some good pool and deserved the win IMO, especially mr terry who owned his single opponent in all 3 frames.

Thanks for the game guys and hopefully see you in a few years at ours!

---

---

how long have you two been married?

---

Too long me thinks,time for divorce.

---

Yes pls

---

Blundells played very well & took their chances they deserved their win

We can't lay the blame on any one person. no one deliberately loses their frames! Yes I lost 3 to Luke but he played very well & took out some good finishes - good long black in 2nd frame! but we lost 5 other frames between us. We win as team - we lose as a team!

---

Totally agree nick

---

Its a shame when 2 fellas from the same team have a public disagreement about points of view but then are those from the same team who accept defeat graciously and taking nothing away from The Propeller who are a superb team to say the least, but you got to say a massive well done to the Blundells who played superb pool themselves last night.

Played the refugees last night I tell u wot I am shocked at how bad the sportsmanship is becoming in our league! We was struggling for a team I tried calling Wayne earlier in the day I couldn't get thru he had bad reception thru the day or something so I calls him in the nite time about 6.30 coz we didn't have a team birdy was in hospital rod in hospital with a relative who is poorly shaggy working late Farron knee is in pain has peps noes he been on crutches and Donald well he plays battersea league on a mon so I spoke with Wayne asked for a postponement he said to me he doesn't mind will ask his team well trysts where it goes downhill I am afraid they all said no! So Wayne calls me back and says dan is there no way u guys can get a team together I said its possible but as it was late time wasn't on our side I told him we wud be late he says dont worry about it just get down ere I said ok so after everything we get down there to my horror I hear they wanna claim the game lol! After a discussion with mark he said give them 15 mins more rest of my team that is as me n Steve k was there! He also added that if they want to they can claim frames IF THEY WANT TO coz some of there team said mark said they have to which he didn't! Say I was present at the convo with mark! And surprise surprise they claim 2 frames even tho it was agreed with me n Wayne that we wud be late! Tell me were is the logic in that! Totally wrong coz we wouldn't of even turned up we was a depleted team had to get Joel out of work Steve from hosp Millie who by the way was great yesterday for us! Took John to Skool! I am so frustrated with this rite liberty! Will say I think mr dewsbury you are a decent bloke had a chat with Peter and I have a lot of time for u mate rest of the team disappointment coz you are better than that lads!

---

What was the score in the end Dan??

---

Totally agree with u nick,we win as a team and lose as a team. The blundells were on top form last night and deserved there win. My point to jacko was that after frame 6 he left and said to Paul text me if u need me. Well we needed him at the start of the 3rd set,which he wasn't there,and we had to put his name down at no5 which by then he didn't get a game. A waste of a good player not playin I think. At 6-4 down surely we needed our top players to get us back into the game,but unfortunately one was absent.

---

Dan the keyboard warrior the facts of the matter are this...Steve and yourself turned up at about 8:30 and the others turned up at 9:10 if you think this is acceptable to be this late then craic on cos at the end of the day we took guidance from the league secretary who informed us that at 8:45 we were within our rights to claim the game as you didnt have enough players at the venue to start the game and as i said on his guidance we claimed the 2 games,your lucky that we played at all.The Better Halfs as a team are responsably for your own actions and if it was the other way round what would you have done? and dont come out with old flannel that you would have postponed the game and or let the other team off losing 2 frames because as we all know its win at all costs with you lot!!!!

hopefully that clears up the matter and we look forward to playing you next week and DONT BE LATE or we"ll have to claim more games :o:haha:

---

I agree Ricky. You & Tony were our best 2 players there last night & yes we missed Tony at the beginning of the 3rd set but that shouldn't take anything away from Graham who played very well in his 2nd/3rd frames to keep us in with a sniff. I had an opportunity in my last frame but it didn't come off unfortunately so I'm sorry I couldn't get us to the decider.

---

So whilst my name is being bantered about here lets just clear the matter up from my prospective. I indeed was approached by the The Alma early in the evening before I got to the venue that the Better Halfs had requested a postponement and as everybody knows by now (or should do) that postponements are subject to the discretion of the opponents. 2 Players from the Better Halfs arrived approx 8.20 after being informed previously that the postponement was not accepted. The match could not commence as they did not have a minimum legal line-up. I was approached at 9.05 by the Better Halfs players saying that the alma had agreed to a late start but were now going to claim the game. When I first was approached by the alma at about 8ish with regards the rules I quoted what was written in our procedures without previous knowledge that the alma had agreed a late start. The moral to this story is let me know the full facts before asking for an interpretation.

---

Its nice to see that the principals of The Gentlemans Summer League are still alive and well.

---

I have just read Danny's post & i was totally shocked.

Shaggy working late !!!!!!!!!!!!

---

Who's gfizz surely it ain't u grant Westbrook I saw ur first frame u got as much fizz as a flat bottle of coke......

The matter of facts are YOUR captain agreed with me on the phone to a late start!!!!! As I had a couple of convo's with him! Fact! So to start claiming frames is shocking!

---

Did i not win that one then and what about the second frame then Dan when your arse got handed to you I'd say that was a magnum of champers going off more fizz than you could handle and by the way we had a discussion tonight at our game and everyone wants to wish you good luck in next years event cos your out of this one.


You go on about the so called phone call but our secretary never said you could turn up when you liked,would you like to phone him again and discuss next weeks game now to let him know if you can field a team as it gives us plenty of notice to claim a walkover win in your absence LOL

---

I think it was the 3rd game u won as I was on 2/2 until u got lucky u tried a cut missed it by 100 years left me nothing u got lucky! More fizz than I can handle? Money game??

---

Don't make me laugh does everything with u revolve around money,I'm not Neil lol and have you forgotten the last time we played in same team and what happened with u and Stacy over money who had to leave the team....

Just to piss on your parade further I got 3/3 last night with that win over you so thanks for that!!!!

---

U make me laugh its ok we all no It wud be no contest between me n u and for the record your first frame was the worst game I ever saw! Millie had 4 shots on the black u missed 100 balls went in off with the black over the pocket mills had 2 shots still missed the blk..... U celebrate that well done class! Plz don't speak to me ever in your life coz I have nothing to say to u mr fizz looks like u need to stay of the fizz.......

---

Dan Dan Dan if you can't take banter as u call it don't give it out,it's alright to :bite: when its in your favour but when it's against you Cry like a bitch.dont worrie your pretty little head cos your not worth the time of day....

I hope this put an End to the matter but I fear not lmfao

---

i thought steve bird was the wetter halfs sec ... so get me wrong wasnt it down to steve to ring up to either say they couldnt field a team or let the alma refugees no they were going to be there by 9.05 .... bottom line is kellogs is a poor loser

---

I think danny has already said that Steve was in hospital all day. Not sure his mind was on the job. Sack him as secretary.

Retired - Ill Health.

---

Lol shaggy. And that's exactly why I say Peter dewsbury is a complete gentleman! Such a fair bloke respect pete!

And waters I ain't biting to u no more mate just my 50 wen I see u next if u Eva manage to leave mk! And we'll done for bottling it against Knocky for dough so laughable u really are. Nite San!

---

Chris, you are very funny as well as being the nicest man in the league.

---

Surely you mean second nicest man in the league, unless you have retired Mr Nuttman.

---

Now.....

Gentleman....Noun
A chivalrous, courteous, or honourable man.
A man of good social position, esp. one of wealth and leisure.

Wealth aside, nearly ALL of the associated members/players (including the girls) are the above, and in turn, the Croydon League reflects this no?

Week after week, we play with a group of friends against (ironically) another group of friends, who in fact are/become associates/friends in our social circle.. BUT not ALL the time can everyone get on..

There's no secret that in the past I myself am no fan, nor a friend of any standing of the better halfs, however, this time I feel I need to say something on their behalf. (Sorry Wayne/Peter)

If you were playing the Rack Pack that night, and knowing a few were going to be quite late, I would have expected those that had made it "on time" would have played the first couple frames, this in turn giving the "late" guys the few extra minutes to arrive.. (maybe I would have considered the 15 min rule from the conclusion of the last frame but I doubt it)

Needless to say that in this instance and from what I'm reading the above didn't happen?

Poor sportsmanship it seems. Or an interpretation of the rules regarding late/fielded teams.. I know Rules are in place in the first instance as guidance in the game and league we represent, BUT the frames could have been claimed in the event that the late players failed to show.. (common sense)

I think maybe that the advantage of claiming the 2 frames against a weakened side can only be a "to-good-to-be-true" opportunity and the Better Halfs should feel a little proud of themselves that a team would do that against them to gain distinct advantage..

Claim the Higher ground

I thought this was a gentleman's league, (no offence to the ladies, as a mere definition of being refined and of a greater level.) Disappointed in a few decisions that people make..

However, what's done is done, I just hope that this decision hasnt made a rod for the backs of the Refugees.. (dont be late!)

P A T C H !

---

BUT... You knew they were coming

---

Nice 1 mark thank you glad people r seeing that we got done a wrongen!

And your rite we are proud with a weak team they still had to claim frames they gloat but the way I see it 6-6 done well to get to 6 as we had Steve who is a unwell man who can barely hold a cue but Tuesday will show what would of happend if they played our proper team.

Poor sportsmanship I totally agree!

Shocking!

---

Think you need to get your facts in order school boy ...
Knocky cancelled on me as he was going on holiday and up to now
Am still waiting on my phone call ...

How about I give u a actual time ill be turning up Tuesday will that help you as I've spoke to Wayne about playing number 5 ill be there by 1am that good enough for you Kellogg's .. All u ever do is moan yet jacko called you off putting cheats ..... Well

---

Hello wash and go. 1am is fine by me we will wait won't claim the game coz we got style class and morals! Bring my 50 or don't you earn that much in mk

---
