Haven't seen any posts to the contrary but just wanted to check. Do you have a time for the draw? Will it be posted during ES/Felix's cut-off window? Also any insight as to the first MD?
I might have overlooked that along the way, sorry if it's in there and I missed it
Do we know what SJG/Mizuyuki cut-off will be?
yes I know it's a long ways out, but didn't see it

Apologies for any inconvenience.

No memory of the result of that game, but I remember seeing that goal and questioning how Howard had managed it. There's been a couple of other occasions of it happening too; our current number one Andy Lonergan scored one while he was at Preston, and I seem to remember Kasper Schmeichel scoring a goal for Leicester not long ago, although that may have been from a corner, come to think of it.
And having just looked it up, it did finish 2-1 to the Whites. For all of those on here who are Everton fans...

Oddly enough, BNB is a Preston supporter.

No bad news for us when we just battered Wigan and moved out of the relegation zone while we were at it. Neil Lennon's Super White Army and all that.
Not that odd if you think about it; he is from Preston, after all

We probably won't have any confusion with this current incarnation, and occasional drifting into reality is likely, but don't forget what the point of this thread is for. Its not a chat thread nor is it a place to have detailed discussions about Manchester United or Brazil's goalkeeping.

I hardly think it's ageist to imply that a fifty-four year-old midfielder is old. At fifty-four he's literally closer to pension-age than he is to the average age a footballer retires at. None of the examples you gave are footballers and all of them either retired in their early forties or, in Chelios's case, retired in their late forties after first taking a number of large steps down through the league system.
If you have a fifty-four year-old player on your national team, and all your other players are of reasonable ages, then you should be prepared to RP a reasonable excuse for his age, or else people will dismiss you as a godmodder.

Fifty Four?
Juan Tzimisces wants to know if that means he's even out of the womb yet.
The serious point is that it obviously can be done if you RP these things appropriately; but for those teams that aren't managed by ageless immortals who are dating deities, this list may prove a useful RL reference:

Excluding someone who turned out for Sark - and may not therefore count - the oldest man ever to turn out for his RL national side was just shy of 49 years old.
