....Go to Facebook and I will try to list all of the West Midlands players who are playing on that night as close to the start as I can.
Please remember that we treat this as a TEAM GAME so try not to take on your team-mates un-neccesarily.

Each club has an area on this forum to do such things.

I aint asked anyone to soft play. I said we play as a team and there is no "I" in team Alan. Anyone who doesn"t want to play for the team need not bother playing for the West Midlands IMO.

But if the West Midlands is their local club Brian, then you would obviously welcome any new players with open arms ?  Might be worth just making that clear.   ;)

Still haven"t had a response to this Brian.

I think it might be best to respond in order to clear up any accusation of collusion. Asking players to go to facebook prior to each online game doesn"t read well.

To be clear, I am not suggesting for 1 minute that you are actively encouraging collusion but to people reading this who don"t know you it could be seen as such.

One of the Leeds players took out 3 other Leeds players last night before being taken out by himself by another of his teammates!

Hope they never move to West Midlands, they might not be allowed in.

Its a team event, of course there will be soft playing between clubmates. Bravo to the more overt teams imho.

I"m sure it happens...but soft play can be interpreted in  various ways...

The difference in soft playing a hand...say checking back a probably winning hand vs a team mate is a whole lot different than telling said team mate in the chat (or FB or MSN, etc) i have 66 fold please.

I think that is the discussion that keeps coming around...Team Game vs "Legal" soft play.

Just to clarify......

What exactly is "Legal" softplay?
