They will be matched off 4 at a time.TOP TWO fae each match progresses,ONE seeded+ ONE unseeded intae the next round (anyone aware of my competitions fae Utd Mad will be aware of the voting procedure).

Here's a game 3 of our entrants played in together,and won convincingly.
And 2 of them scored into the bargain.

Still mind Crabbe scoring a screamer v Hertz and going fucking mental though.
Liked him as a player tbh

My over-riding feelings towards Scott Crabbe was one of dissapointment tbh.
He was a goal machine at Hearts and when we signed him,i couldnae quite believe it was happening.
He was always injured at Utd though,and always long-term problems that would keep him out for weeks on end and were the type of injuries that 'couldnae be rushed'.
Ironically the one game i was really mega impressed with him and thought 'fuck me Crabbies playing well tonight' was the game we beat 'Well 1-0 in a Scottish Cup replay at Fir Park in 1994.Welshy Screamer game.
The game he sadly badly broke his leg in after about an hour.
Was more or less the end of his top-flight career at just 26.

Connolly, connolly flying down the wing. Always felt he never quite fulfilled his potential, but u could say the same for a lot of the guys that came thru at that time.

Think i will have to put the competitions on the back burner for the minute chaps.
Hopefully when there are more posters posting i can re-start this particular competition,and start others.

Too late, and kind o' relieved as it was so close for me.
Would've hoped for proportional representation using STV so I could vote:-
1 Paddy
2 Sieb
3 Scotty
4 Eck
But the truth is it's a ba'hair between tap and bottom.
