    I was thinking along those lines recently myself... but rather a FSA get together some Saturday, 30 or so lads in some pub with multiple screens with all the matches (may be a few legal loopholes to jump through ) on.

    Zero talk though, just us all sitting there while posting on the forum :)
    Finnharpsboy would be still letting us know who has scored before we see it live. We would have to get him a VIP section for all his gadgets.

    Guessing this would be a video podcast and not just audio. This would be a really bad idea for an audio podcast.

    Shouting, silence and crying.

    What else do you want to listen to?

    Thats how I get myself to sleep when I think about Rooney still being in my team.

    Oh no, wasn't thinking about any type of podcast, just a get together type thing. Not that I'd be ever able to be boozing at 3pm these days.

    Great game so far. I have a feeling Galway are going to regret all those wides though.

    Ah yes, the missed goal chance was crucial for them along with those missed points.

    I haven't played FIFA in about 15 years but I was interested to see that they have released their top 50 player ratings for the new game due out this month
    https://www.easports.com/fifa/news/2015/fifa-16-ratings-top-50

    Of particular interest to FPL players

    6. Hazard
    10. Silva
    12. Aguero
    16. Fabregas
    18. Ozil
    25. Sanchez
    26. De Gea
    28. De Bruyne
    30. Costa
    32. Courtois
    36. Rooney
    41. Santi Cazorla
    42. Yaya
    44. Terry
    47. Kompany
    49. Cech

    I believe Danny Graham missed out narrowly on the top 50.

    I don't think Hazard or Silva should be above Aguero. He's number three in the world for me behind the obvious duo.

    That said, we may be teethering on the edge of what's allowed with this discussion.

    On the train to Cork at the minute. Surprised to see that when you book seats your name is shown above the seat by a display.

    I wouldn't want the whole carriage to be able to see my name!

    Once it didn't come up as lemlin can you imagine a whole train journey taking up by people asking you FF questions.

    When you book you get the choice to have your name above it or just a message saying its booked. Name is default so I guess most people don't even realise its an option.

    I didn't book a seat. Was surprised the amount of people coming from Electric Picnic that thought ahead to.

    Taking part in a fantasy NFL Draft for the first time tonight. Anybody any experience with this? What are the pitfalls /newbie mistakes to avoid?

    I'm 8th out of 10 in the draft order, so I'm assuming it depends on the positions drafted by my opponents? (i.e. If they all pick RBs first, I should hit the WRs early?) What positions should I leave to the end?

    RB in first 3 rounds. They're the big point scorers. Only exception would be Gronkowski.

    Always Def and Kicker in the last 2 rounds.

    Last year I found a chat thread for fantasy nfl. Opinions on trades and starters. This year nothing I can see, and I've asked I a few threads. Anyone on here point me the right direction?

    Time to dust down my FPL thinking jacket. I do love the game but I do love the break too.

    Had it on a mobile few times.

    Annoying, especially when you click it accidentally. Not tempting at all. Surprised people still fall on these tbh.

    Been there with a group about 12 yes ago, few museum's to visit, accommodation was rough there at the time, plenty of bars to visit, some where you can smoke, if that's what you're into, plenty of window shopping to be had as dusk descends ;-)
    Wouldn't ever be tempted to go back though, sleazy city.

    Sleazy if you want it to be but a very beautiful city and there's plenty to do outside of the obvious 'tourist' attractions. Great museums, good bars, shopping and pleasant to walk around on foot. I'd say it is a must visit city.
