[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Most deluded would be that person who doesn't know the laws regarding a yellow card and a deliberate knock on.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I feel like I could clean sweep these awards

Love this. Can I check whether this is "most morose" poster, or, the most "get a life" poster?

Also where's the 'Worst oldcomer' category.

 

[ncurd]

Saddest poster has to whore of shame surely?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

You'd do very well to pick up either newcomer award.

Can I also suggest that we include funniest poster? Not that I think I have a shot there but seems like an important category to include.

Saddest is the poster who's shown the most sadness tears, as @ncurd has said.

Feed back appreciated, and will add

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

I propose a new category, most arrogant poster and wish to nominate TRF_Olyy. English arrogance through and through.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

My incomplete nominations list:

Best Poster: @TRF_Olyy largely due to a drunken promise I made.

Drunkest Poster: @ThebigARena needs absolutely no explanation.

Saltiest Poster: unsure, will wait to see what others say.

Best/Worst newcomers: again unsure. I'm never certain who is new and who is returning, plus it always takes me a while to actually start recognising a new poster and their posts so again I'll follow the lead of others on these.

Saddest poster: @Whore of Shame has done a year's worth of this over one weekend

Most insightful: @Bruce_ma gooshvili gives great insight into some of the lower ranked teams that I'd otherwise have no clue about.

Most deluded: @AWJ5GOAT check username for reasoning.

Funniest: could go to quite a few of the Irish contingent but I'll go for @Whore of Shame to hopefully cheer him up a bit.

Feel like I'm cheating, I only recognise a few names, and only real stand out moments pop to mind, mostly the rage inducing comments of a certain poor winner.

Good lord, no!

We do, just no one from the SH gets an invite
