I reckon after all the crying (mainly from Paddy) last season that the fine system was too harsh, too long, too discrimatory blah blah blah cry cry cry it may pay to have some discussion before the season starts about how fines should work. Sure Nick G hitting three figures was extreme, even though he was never going to have to pay that, but the system of using fine sessions as a piss taking tool and then not making those at the top end of the spectrum pay the full amount was not transparent enough for some. So how should we run the fine system this season? Any ideas?
Also, its time for a new finemaster. Who's up for it? the unlucky candidate needs the following abilities:
- To show up at the majority of post-game sessions.
- To have a pronounced evil streak.
- To be honest and fair in all dealings.
- To have a pronounced evil streak.
- Not to single out particular un-co, toe-hacking, blue boots wearing members of the Stallions for special attention.
- To have a pronounced evil streak.
- To write up fine highlights on the blog.
- To have a pronounced evil streak.
- Not be one of the key decisionmakers of the team (there must be a certain anti-authoritarian element here).
- To have a pronounced evil streak.
- Be prepared to lessen the quality of one's football so as not to stand out above other Stallions. You may have to miss the odd open goal or give away the odd pen.
- To have a pronounced evil streak.
- Not to steal all the money.
- To have a pronounced evil streak.
In fairness the task will be more difficult without robin. Generally you just sit back and try to capture everything he blurts out after a couple of post-match drinks - generally directed at Graham (payback for cricket season?).
These are the rules I have lived by for seasons. New blood required for sure. Any suggestions? Me thinks Jason and Ben B are definite contenders.
