Broomhill Ultra Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I like this BOTN, no worse than grown men playing football manager simulators IMO.I am hoping you will also post full British Super Cup results from 1874 onwards. Quarter finals onwards only obviously, anything more would be a massive & insane undertaking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd probably still fail to qualify, tbh... Likely finish 4th behind Atlantis, El Dorado and Lilliput - having fluked in a 93rd-minute winner v the island of Sodor - before losing a playoff to Shangri-La... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 This reminds me of when I was about 7 and made up my own fictional football league and used to make up results and match reports. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Did anyone run their own Scottish cups, doing the draw then drawing the goals scored for each team out of a hat too? Asking for a pal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I hear from a pal that some used to then re-enact the goals with a sponge football using the dining table as goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 In my day there were no FIFAs or Football Managers so we had to make our own fictional fitba fun.

I'm happy to act as go between. Amazingly in the entire circa 500 times the Invergowrie Scottish Cup was contested Rangers never won once. Dundee didn't either but that's entirely consistent with real life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
