To me it's just a bit of fun, hoping that people you don't know die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee_62 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Even this early in the campaign I can see that my strategy of going for random solo shots is setting myself up for a spectacular fail. Acht well. You live and learn... I joined last year and my list was a random selection of old famous people. I think the way last year panned out with a lot of "surprising" celebrity deaths, anyone could have come out on top. (I scored nil points which seemed to be more of a challenge last year) This year already, most of the deaths seem to have been much more "predictable" and it would appear that anyone who keeps abreast of extremely ill celebrity news will have plenty points already. I have again gone with a completely random themed selection of mainly people in their 70s and "hope" for a lucky hit at some point. No research into current health levels - only if they were alive at the start of the year. I've no problem with either approach as I was originally drawn to this thread by the mainly appalling but sometimes inspired puns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 My first team was a bunch of random old people. 0/15. My second team was a bunch of random old people with about four different. 4/15. Not that four. My team this year is four old c***s then eleven old writers. 0/15.

Sweaty Morph Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Feck. Everyone knew it but, for me, it was really stretching my footballing knowledge. Probably more the era in which the question was posed; Robert Prytz was not long retired at the time and had been (IIRC) tenuously linked to Raith Rovers (Mr Mackay's team) at the twilight of his career.
