Arda Cup Soccer 2008 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Dear me, posting is clearly a hazardous occupation these days...

On the one hand, I expect to be at least somewhat available, though I won't know that of the summer for another couple weeks for certain, so I would like to say that I'm available to play for Tol-in-Gaurhoth* but on the other hand, I have absolutely no idea what I'm committing myself too. I was non-interneted last summer and so missed the last round of this, and you're being decidedly vague about what sort of a commitment is going on here.

*Something of a scandal in the history of the team, no doubt. The rights to the green-and-black were bought by Sauron just after he was ousted from the management of the black-black-and-redandblack in Mordor. It was payback of sorts, I think, since Sauron's second, the Witchking, who replaced him on Team Mordor, had trained the first Barrow-Wights, when the league expanded in the Second Age. Not that the green and black ever made money when the played on the Downs: Cardolan Stadium was old and small and the place had a bad rap ever since those hobbits got kidnapped after a game with Hobbiton (now Michel Delving), and the neighbourhood was really quite rundown. I mean, you've heard of "redneck". Think about three steps down the social ladder and you've got "yellow boots".
