Media TiFmedia Presents... Sweet FA Three Things I Learnt This Week - Season 37 Edition

I think unless something drastic changes, the SFA is on its last legs

 

[Callums_Guns]

What moves has Wiggy got up his sleeve?

 

[Pugsley]

Usually this place goes in cycles, goes down then back up again, but its been on the down way longer this time around.

I think unless something drastic changes, the SFA is on its last legs. 5-10 seasons time and itll be back at Season 1 levels.

I don't personally believe its anyones fault, or because anyones soft, we are just struggling to get new people in. A lot of it is to do with the fact that the type of peope (especially younger people) who are likely to be interested in something like the SFA don't tend to join older forum style formats like Bigfooty, they are on platforms like reddit or discord.

Its time is certainly coming imo. SFA has been around for 20+ years, and for a niche little footy game like this that is pretty bloody good.

Thank you Aristotle.

all will be good, Spotswood was here long before the SFA was formed and will be here after all the other clubs have folded

that's why the smart players are pushing to join the Ophidian Old Boys

Sounds like you will all be playing with yourselves after everyone else leaves

 

[Grav]

Sounds like you will all be playing with yourselves after everyone else leaves

Nothing wrong with that!

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Eggsackerly… I blame the Simpersons.

 

[Pugsley]

Sounds like you will all be playing with yourselves after everyone else leaves

They have been for a few seasons.

 

[U2tigers]

1. I honestly had zero impact on the on field success of the Old Boys.

2. I am missing the banter of a match threads (not so much some of the bullshit of the league). I am close to a return.

3. I would probably be the sole reason the OOB's don't go #cup2spoon2cup .

lol sign me up.

Can you ensure your return is before the Old Boys v Wonders clash whenever that is

THREE THINGS I LEARNT THIS WEEK

ROUND 10

Three things I learnt this week...​

1. Everyone's a smartarse when they find a loophole.
2. Naughty captains who step out of line can expect a tersely worded PM from City Hall courtesy of 'Not angry, just disappointed father figure' Elton Johns Wig & his tough talking deputy sheriff ClarkeM. omgfridge may never recover.
3. In true Sweet FA milestone fashion, the Gumbies' celebration of beez & GWS Goose was soured by a loss to the cellar dwellers at Coney Island. But at least they can console themselves with the knowledge that they stuck fat for 150 odd games (or 4 years in sexually active people's parlance) of extreme boredom to win a fake premiership in an online fantasy football competition. Well done fellas.

Over to you Sweet FA, what did you learn this week?

 

[PhenomenalV1]

1: As it turns out, Supersuns FFC was a failed experiment.

2: Inspect any meals the Las Vegas Bears hand you at half time.

3: Begging will absolutely get you a spot in the midfield.

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

father figure' @Elton Johns Wig

Scary putting those 5 words together.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Scary putting those 4 words together.

I know Euclid went way over my head and perhaps for you it is the same.

Maybe you lost a counting finger in a wine uncorking accident.

I counted five words in “father figure Elton John’s wig”, not four.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

1. The OOBs and Wonders are sibs from other mums. It is odd the OOBs as a Jonny come lately get the joint more than the Snow Bunnies.
2. The 8 looks close to settled.
3. Imagine wasting chunks of your life playing for and sometimes captaining a fantasy Qooty team with no history of success. And then bunging tosh on the deserved premiership winner from last season.

 

[big_icky]

1. Everyone's a smartarse when they find a loophole.

What a glorious 37 minutes that was though. Truly one of the moments of all time.

 

[Supersuns]

2: Inspect any meals the Las Vegas Bears hand you at half time.

3: Begging will absolutely get you a spot in the midfield.

ahh yep, I was tired, meant 5. Thank you Horatio.

 

[Tonga Bob]

1) I need to go on holiday more often
2)

I think that's all.

THREE THINGS I LEARNT THIS WEEK

ROUND 12

Three things I learnt this week...​

1. miggs will be sorely missed. Rest easy, big fella.
2. 200 games up for one of the modern greats, Barrybran this week. Surely the next celebration will be a well deserved HOF induction. Better CV than okeydoke7 and now has that elusive premiership under the belt.
3. Death, taxes and the Wazzas beating the Hawks.

Over to you Sweet FA, what did you learn this week?

 

[Barrybran]

1. I have played 200 games of Qooty
2. I can relate to Detective Murtaugh
3. Lethal Weapon is a good movie

Three things I learnt this week...​

1. I'm about to star in the upcoming Dragons' DVD set, #thestreak

3. Although I suspect it's possibly ironic. But if not, who could really blame them?

Over to you Sweet FA, what did you learn this week?

 

[Tonga Bob]

1) Blacula is a 1972 American blaxploitation vampire horror film directed by William Crain. It stars William Marshall in the title role about an 18th-century African prince named Mamuwalde, who is turned into a vampire (and later locked in a coffin) by Count Dracula in the Count's castle in Transylvania in the year 1780 after Dracula refuses to help Mamuwalde suppress the slave trade.

2) Blacula received mixed reviews on its initial release. Variety gave the film a positive review praising the screenplay, music and acting by William Marshall. The Chicago Reader praised the film, writing that it would leave its audience more satisfied than many other "post-Lugosi efforts". Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune awarded three stars out of four, calling it "well-made and quite frightening." A review from Roger Greenspun in The New York Times was negative, stating that anyone who "goes to a vampire movie expecting sense is in serious trouble, and "Blacula" offers less sense than most." In Films & Filming, a reviewer referred to the film as "totally unconvincing on every level". The Monthly Film Bulletin described the film as "a disappointing model for what promised to be an exciting new genre, the black horror film." and that apart from the introductory scene, "the film conspicuously fails to pick up on any of its theme's more interesting possibilities–cinematic or philosophical." The film was awarded the Best Horror Film title at the first Saturn Awards.

3) The box office success of Blacula sparked a wave of other Black-themed horror films. A sequel to the film titled Scream Blacula Scream was released in 1973 by American International. The film also stars William Marshall in the title role along with actress Pam Grier. American International was also planning a follow-up film titled Blackenstein, but chose to focus on Scream Blacula Scream instead. Blackenstein was eventually produced by Exclusive International Pictures. In a 2004 episode of The Simpsons, Homer, Marge and Lisa watch part of a film called "Blacula Meets Black Dracula" that had fun with this central idea; after the two leads drain an evil businessman who plans to tear down their favorite disco to make way for a hockey rink, Homer says affectionately "You know, Black Dracula is now a Congressman from Virginia."

 

[The Donald]

"You know, Black Dracula is now a Congressman from Virginia."

I have a GREAT relationship with 'the blacks'.
