    Not really losing it... but the football crests and World Cup Goals deserved inclusion!

    It simply had to be, imo. An All-Ireland with a twist, and some shocks along the way in the county showdowns to boot.


    All compiled excellently by an incredible game host.


    (He's got a new tournament taking nominations at the moment too btw)

    Very surprised that the Football Club Crests tournament didn't get a mention.

    Maybe people are still shellshocked from the finals of Elephant FC vs Goat FC and the going ons of both camps.

    Agreed - could probably win boards thread of the year, if there was such a thing. Joyful and educating from start to finish

    I like to imagine Mackers sat in a cave somewhere now, not caring at all about awards. Maybe eating a raw cow. He'll emerge to run the sports venues, then disappear again

    Only ran one tournament this year but it was a classic, and introduced us to the Second Chance Showdown.

    Maybe 2021 will be the year for a UK/Irish Comedy stars battle royale eh ;)

    Jaysis, wasn't expecting to be in the running fot this at all, as I only had the one and it was way back at the start of lockdown (the OG lockdown that is, in March).

    Cheers again for anyone who gave me votes.

    Again, deserving winner here. My 1-2-3 were Omack, Kol and Strawbs here but definitely and completely deserving the title with some classics is our Omack.

    Here's to more in 2021!!

    Congratulations to the victors.

    Danke Necro and thanks to those who voted for me.

    Any chance you could reveal who voted for whom so we know who the egomaniacs are who voted for themselves?
