Chap in the Chapel Posted 11 September, 2015 Share Posted 11 September, 2015 Waterloo I think that revokes the Von Boogmeister Treaty (1873 amendment) so to avoid us getting bogged down we'd best go for Canning Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 11 September, 2015 Share Posted 11 September, 2015 Gentlemen, you've brought this on yourself. Goodge Street. If any of you are wily enough to slide yourself out of this perilous predicament, then may I remind you that not many printed rulesets proffer many moves from here without causing a significant double-feint or the Stojanov reversal (1923, vers xii).

Huffton Posted 12 September, 2015 Share Posted 12 September, 2015 You lot are a bunch of amateurs, its so obvious its not true. I'll play a double loopback with a side slant from there (permissible under the Knight and Sloane Amendment of 1875) and leave you all with a cheeky East Ham!

so22saint Posted 12 September, 2015 Share Posted 12 September, 2015 Well if you insist. I'll spring the offside trap and venture upon Wembley Central Due to the Winehouse convention of 2011 the only possible move after Warwick Avenue is Camden Town really.

Pancake Posted 14 September, 2015 Share Posted 14 September, 2015 No I think Col is ok with that at the moment but had played it on the 2nd Monday of the month it would have been against the Jupiter Convention Of Fair Play and we would have had him. So, let's take a quick jump to Hammersmith to quell this issue and take up the Tiverton repeal of no additional Piccadilly unless a northern diagonal is played before 12.30.

Huffton Posted 15 September, 2015 Share Posted 15 September, 2015 Think it may have been sliding down legside myself but will probably survive on umpires call, the sly little bugger.
