Thanks very much for your congratulations ! The line of luxury caravans tempted us to stay for the night,but we eventually decided to go home !! Those pikeys are a pain in the proverbials ! Backwards and forwards to the toilets all night ! Do they all have weak bladders or could there be another reason ? I wonder !

THE ADDICTS 4-3 MAGNUM FORCE
Well done to the pond last night. A few more points next week gives us second. Still waiting for the legion score to see if we have a chance for a epic title decider playing them last game of the season.

Left at 2-0 down last night i should have made it 1-1!!
Yellow and black over the hole i screw back and instead of potting the yellow the white ball goes 3ft up in the air and off the table! Useless
Disapointed with the pond last night. They turn up with 7 but only put 6 on the card and we have to pick again at 3-3. Surely there must be a rule that if you turn up will a full team and they are all registered they should all play?
Why register Pat if your going to turn up and not play?!

Surely that's his choice if he wants to play, he might of had a bad arm or shoulder or just didn't feel right, you can't say to him that if he doesn't play then he can't come out tonight. |

A strange point of view Scott,with the new five-a-side league coming up in a few weeks time. I hope that you're not too upset at some of the strokes that will undoubtedly be pulled !! The Bromley Cue Masters used to turn up with about fifteen players and spectators,but never have more than six players ! They abused the rules because they only had six good players and they got away with it for years. We tried to get the pick-again rule slung out years ago but the vote went against us !! At last it has been abolished,but at the expense of having smaller teams. In my opinion,this is a wrong move,but let's see how it works in implementation !! I remain as optimistic as ever !! Incidentally,the reason I didn't play is that I didn't have as much time to practise as I would like. I look after my grandchildren on Mondays,Tuesdays and Wednesdays and until this changes,I can't see me playing much !! Sorry to let you down! I know that you've got a picture of me on your bedroom wall ! |

First of all we could have used the Goodies' trandem as our team bus last night. Secondly in all the time I've played for the Cuemasters I can only remember one time when we had a registered player present who we didn't pick on the night when we only had 6. The twins' dad and his works manager used to run the team but were never registered and they sometimes brought other friends along for a beer. |

Scott,I don't think that you realise how busy I am since I took very EARLY retirement !! I would love to pinch a few of your players,but I have a policy of never doing so if the team is still in existence. I believe that the most promising way forward would be for you to attend lion-impression classes for a couple of months. Go to the Farley,hang about in the toilets until a strange looking bloke wearing glasses approaches you !! He'll probably mumble something about raising your station in life and ask you to roar at him !! If you manage to unnerve him,you will probably be invited to join his team. As I don,t wish to infringe any human rights,the team and the individual shall remain nameless !! |

So smashing balls around the table, by yourself, this Monday night at Suzy's was looking after your grandchildren?
I think the stunt you pulled last night at the Warbank is nothing short of an embarrassment. Promoted by pulling a stunt like that. Well done Pat, thats really brave of you..... |

sorry pat thats totally untrue about us abusing the rules by having all these supposed players sighned up! as phil says most was just people from the club or friends who had no interest in playing for the team so would just occasionly turn up to watch, i always respect others opinions but i also think facts should be backed up before a comment like that is posted accusing us of abusing the rules as you put it!. this season we have struggled from start to finish finding a team and last night we had just 3 players! in fact if a table is published for the team who has fielded the least number of players for the duration of the season i am sure we would be top and that is something none of us are proud of. |

Alex,when I say that I look after my grandchildren,I should have explained that it is during the day.The kids are very fortunate to have two parents who take them from me when they return from work. I did manage to get down to Suzy's on Monday evening,as you rightly say,but I gave up my table to one of the quarter-finalists. I felt that their need was immediately greater than mine !! What a magnaminous gesture upon my part ! Sadly you know very little about such courtesy !! |

Perhaps I am over-exaggerating the Bromley Cue Masters history. When we were first formed about ten years ago the Cuemasters were in the bottom division along with us.I believe that they had just been demoted from a far higher division for playing unregistered players. So we saw quite a lot of them during our formative years ,normally just trying to stay in their slipstream !! They were always very well supported ! I didn't know that their supporters couldn't play pool. They have always been perfect gentlemen and a pleasure to play against. I was just trying to make the point that any player's participation is entirely up to the individual !! |

I think this is the age old dilema in a "friendly" pool league, of our 9 players we have 1 that is definitely not Divison 2 standard (no it not Brian Clarke and his webbed feet  ) but gets a semi-regular game for us because he is part of our team and has been for a good couple of years. I think if we turned up with our 6 strongest players every week I'm confident we would have been a lot closer to promotion than we are. |

I think Pat has made himself and his team look very silly.
