Idea

Gelio

Myself Orizio and and the other boards cup Admins have had an Idea.
While the cup is running why not make a newsletter sort of thing with match reviews, team of the week, a few articles, some stats and the draws maybe before their posted.
We're still going over ideas. Teams will get reviewed (which could help the manager) and maybe the odd interview. Overall it will be like all the things that Orizio did for the last cup and more, put into one newsletter every week or so.
Were still not 100% on whats going to be put in and what everyone wants to be put in. Were not sure if we'll send it out by PM or just make it into a thread. Thats why we made this thread, to see everyones thoughts on the idea, and to get a bit of advice.
And of course one big question would be the name! Something witty would be great. All that I could come up with is,

The Irish BRrrrr boards cup newsletter Sponsored by COKE(Irish blackoutRugby Boards cup Newsletter)

and if that gets used then we're in trouble:D.
I'm Going to leave you in the words of Bo Burnham. How will we get this done?

Like a tampon theif we have to pull some strings

I for one think a newsletter is a great idea.

Previews, reviews, interviews and team of the week stats. (maybe even per division).

Are you planning on having it centred on Boards teams or on the Irish scene in general? It's a good idea alright and would make it seem a bit more life like for sure.

lol, wtf???

I think this is a good idea. Let's role.

I don't think I'm in the cup..or has it started? I'd play in it, but if I'm being HONEST, it would have to be treated as a second rate competition for me, as I continue my persuit of Play-off / Second Division rugby

So could we make a deal that EVERYBODY plays WNWIM???

Sounds good, focused on the Boards teams? Or the Irish teams in general?

I would agree, my aim is to try and make it to Div 2 in my first two seasons!! (Aim high and all that!) so I'm using the friendlies for training and blooding subs..

I think were just waiting on the website to be finished and then the cup is as good as ready.
As far as I know, when its an official cup we can have it on a tuesday (or maybe a different day) so that would mean all the teams involved would get extra training and would still be able to play a friendly.

Its a hard life for the virtual Rugby player isn't it. A league game, a cup game and 2 friendlies in the same week!

The in game training would be great on the Tuesday.

You ae not in the ie boards cup Jackass, I just assumed you thought yourself better then the rest of us and left you to your self-delusion...

Orizio

Regarding the cup itself, we are still waiting on chup and the website.

Would love to participate in the cup. I just started playing but think it would be a grand experience.

My team - Killarney RFC

***Edit***

Just saw the signup thread and realized the cup has already been formed. Good luck and I'll look forward to hopefully playing next year.

I did laugh!


I think Jeff's Journal, and then you can have some celebrity contributors each week. Perhaps even get quotes from rival managers before the game. Stir it up a bit.


eg. Jeff's Journal with special guest......ORIZIO !!!
Also on page 5, Zaraba and Jprender talk tough.

Gelio

Well....I did consider would it be fair competing, being so much better than everyone else...and was a big factor in my decision to abstain!!

But next time I'll play
