Cockbill Street
13-01-2005, 12:17
The Streetian community are ready to hold their first elections of g'irgah (national football manager). Trials have been held, at the International Recreational Cup, where each manager got a chance to prove their worth. Reports of all the matches are here (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=385494), except for the Lethislavania - Cockbill Street match, which was managed by a Rejistanian and so boring that the person supposed to do it fell asleep while watching and only woke up to the celebrations afterwards. The candidates are, if you don't want to scan the above thread:
1) Lee Branson (Audioslavia, Attacking Party)
Lee Branson is an experienced manager and footballer, with some charisma on the line and with good knowledge of Streetian football after four years as manager, and favours a physical and attacking style of footballing. His results are nothing to write home about, although he boasts that he's the only human coach to take the Streetian side through qualifying (WC14 we had a dwarf, WC17 a Math-Logic Device)
2) Kansu Lyku (Rejistania, Karela Liside)
A true Karela-man, through and through. Fan of Karela lines and their horribly defensive tactics, Mr Lyku promises to make the Streetians feel different about defense - as it will make their talented footballers win games. The tactic is as simple as it is boring - tackle, win the ball, and send it up to Rhianna Peters and let her do the rest. The six-back line will ensure 14 0-0 draws in qualifying.
3) Guy François (Eauz, Le Communistes des Francais)
Assuming that everyone should get their chance to star in the team equally, under the communist system, Mr François will practice a rotation system - rigidly. Defenders in one match may be strikers in the next. A radical thinker and idealist, but in the polls, a favourite among the poorer parts of the nation.
4) Ivar Axewieldersson (Cockbill Street dwarf, B'zugda'hiara R'h'kakh)
Afraid of the Streetian culture being watered down by puny humans and trolls, Ivar Axewieldersson is a candidate being put forward by the most extreme of dwarfs. Not favoured by neutrals, he will put the apartheid system back in place, making three Streetian teams and only allowing the one dwarf team to participate in the main World Cup matches.
5) Trefor Trefor (Druida, Random Assassination Party)
Exiled from Druida, Trefor Trefor is one of millions of Trefors that are completely indistinguishable. He is rumoured to have a fetish for rubber chickens, like most other Druidans, and is probably the most eccentric character of the five. Still, deep down, he is said to have some non-Trefor-ish characteristics - like the ability to pronounce every other word without throwing in about six "ll"-sounds at random.
Voting is open until WC20 qualifying starts or for 30 hours.
