Just so everyone is aware the first exits are here there and everywhere. No urinating on the pitch otherwise Terry "The Imapler" Owens will be after you

CFuller · February 10

I haven't brought a plus-one this year. I did invite my goalkeeper John Forde, but he kicked my cat, threw his gloves in my face, issued seven transfer requests in a row and then put his feet on my sofa.

Still the best goalkeeper I've ever had, mind you.

It's a shame we weren't hosting this ceremony tomorrow. Otherwise I would have spent the entire night posting pictures of superb owls.

WLKRAS · February 10

No American Handegg please, these are proper football awards...

CFuller · February 10

What do owls have to do with American Handegg? :confused:

I believe its the Terry Owens reference

CFuller · February 10

Ah, right. I'm a Carolina Panthers fan, so naturally I don't like NFL.

Two Tribes Go to War (sherm)

His second award of the night and truly brilliant story

WLKRAS · February 10

Well deserved :thup:

sherm · February 10

Managed to pop in briefly and see the progress so far

I'm absolutely humbled you all saw fit to vote one of my characters for an award, aswell as my story

As Mark has correctly said these are my first ones on this forum so I am flattered and honoured

WLKRAS - I voted for Chris Browne from the Outcast so to share this award with you is an honour

To have you all vote for Two Tribes is a real big deal for me as its a story I've put a lot of time and effort into, so it feels like every word has been worth it

Thankyou to everyone who voted and congratulations to all the winners thus far
