[teenwolf]

Now I wish my name was Harris - it would have surely have gotten me selected

This stuff is nenewing my faith in the power of the internet

Keep it coming and get Davy Wylie's categories filled in too.

[MAFIE]

What about Rolf and Keith with maybe Orville at scum half? with the strips made out of Harris Tweed.

[RodHar]

On the basis of the people I’ve played in the same team as:

Best Player – Maf silky skills yet hard as…
Best Captain –undecided
Funniest Moment – Paul Warnock having taken over as ref for the second half of the recent 3rds game against Helensburgh takes the previous ref (now playing for Helensburgh) aside for a severe talking to….near yellow carded him ……priceless!!! Having said that it was just as well it was the second half and not the first! Bit of a tame example I know but then I’ve not toured.
Best Try Scorer –The Dazzler Pack
Best Kicker - Dougal
Best Side-Step – Beef the Samoan
Best Dummy – Big Al McGlashan
Best Guy to Back You In a Fight – All the Dazzlers… hard core to a man…but Cammy does take the biscuit
Person Most Likely to Give Away a Penalty – Can’t disagree with selection of Edwardo
Best Song – Billy Samuels: Sloop John B

Maf please find an e-mail re your proposal sent today.

or in a game against Cartha about 3 seasons ago, Leroy came on at half time, was penalised, and swore at Paul. Paul yellow carded him, to which Leroy responded, "Just f****** send me off then", so Paul produced a red card. All within 2 minutes of the 2nd half starting! As a result Leroy got man of the match!
