Yep! Looking forward to another game of flickin' chess, Jon! Love games like that.

nice one steve.

Ha!
You could have won by 2/3 goals if you wanted. But alas!!
I enjoy our games as we both play at a certain level.... Don't say it!
Against the likes of Jeff and Kevin, well lets not go there as I'm getting the sweats just thinking about it.

See ya Lee
SLEEPzzz

It did occur to me afterwards that you wouldn't have a clue who I was!

It's Steve.

Haven't managed to get a game of subby in since August 2011 and the Wycombe League that I was in (and it was a great re-introduction back into subby last year, well apart from that last mauling that I took from Stevie G in August!) seems to have faltered and work commitment will mean that I am likely to miss the Maidenhead event again (really wanted to get to the fair bit - still looking for a HW 22, 32, 37, 61, 62, 63, 70 and 73 for my 1-81), so would love to have an opportunity to play again at whatever opportunity presents itself. Bracknell isn't too far from Amersham and so looking forward to being able to meet up.

Cheers

John

nice one john it will good to see you there

by the way has anyone heard from JR about the lionhearts meet , just want to confirm all is still ok for the day

Will be great to cross fingers again John!

Didn't know you were from Amersham. That's where I met my wife 12 years ago.

Do try and make the Lionhearts meeting in February. I think you'll really enjoy it.

I believe that mauling you mentioned was a one-off, John. Everything I hit seemed to 'come off' on the day. Those games are few and far between, my friend. I think the other, much closer encounters we had, are what you can expect.

I think everything is still on, Lee. Haven't heard anything different.

JR played Jim in a few friendlies recently, and I think Jim is up for it. Would imagine Steve Moreton and Vic will be there too.

Is Adam coming?

Be great to see JP again too!

Steve,

That day was just so awful - getting you and Calum Smith back-to-back was no joy, I almost threw my teams in the bin when I got back home! Fortunately I didn't but what with work commitments and lack of opportunities to play in Mark's Wycombe league, I haven't been able to play since that day in August and desperately need to exorcise that memory.

What has happened to Mark's Subbuteo league? I got back last weekend and went onto the new web-site to found out what was happening about the proposed one day Winter league but didn't see any recent news and it looked as though there hadn't been any posts on the web-site since early December. I thought that Mark ran an excellent league, he was very welcoming, his enthusiasm for the game was infectious and he encouraged a good, friendly spirit and it is pity if we can't keep the league going in some form. I have tried emailing Mark but haven't had a response as yet. Grateful for any update that you can provide.

On these Lionheart meets, what pitches and figures do we play with?

26th Feb is looking good for me currently and so looking forward to seeing some old and new faces.

Cheers

John

PS Probably my accent threw you a little - it is hardly a local Amersham accent!

Mark has been very difficult to contact. Many have tried, with little or no response, so cannot really shed any light on his sudden lack of interest. It's a shame, but it seems as though there will be no further Wycombe action.

Lionhearts is Old Subbuteo ( Old Subbuteo Rules ), HW / LW or replica bases on baize pitches. Everybody plays everybody on the day.

http://www.maidenhead-advertiser.co.uk/News/Areas/Maidenhead/Snapped-surgeons-needle-removed-from-father-of-three-16022012.htm

Shocking Jon, glad all is well now. Take care and see you next week my fellow flicker

'kinnel mate. Hope you're recovering well.

Fair play to you for having such a good attitude.

jon

thanks for letting me know Jon , adam was due to come to me on sunday morning to drive up with me

i wonder when he was going to tell me

Sorry chaps, but I am now a doubt for this Sunday.

A family meal has been arranged (I was hoping it would be on the Saturday), plus I'm getting a bit of a cold, which could mean I don't do anything on Sunday anyway.

If anything changes, I'll let you know, otherwise assume that I won't be there.

I'll try and attend the next Lionhearts meeting.

Hope it all goes well this Sunday.

steve george is the seaons champion so well done to him and the end of season table is in the lionnearts league section

new saeaon starts in april and i am proposing sunday 22/4 as the next meet

just noticed lee and i shared the only scoreless draw of the day. that mut be a first only one 0-0 meet

Yeah, usually a few more of those, Jon.

However, I think Adam and Reg are regarded as the shut-out specialists, so their absence may have been a significant factor.

Great day today, thank you.

great day as usual guys

well done Steve for winning and becoming season champion

see you all at maidenhead !!

thanks for making it a great day gents

see you at maidenhead i hope
