    After such a stirring speech by our great leader and as nominated Chaplain - I have prayed to our Lord to put me on the same table as my counterpart Vaigret in a good v evil battle.

    I will don my Nun's outfit which I normally leave to weekends in the privacy of my own home  - (trying to ween myself off doing this but it's a habit.) The numbers maybe against us but with the right tactics we will be victorious. I have decided that my tactic is not to be a fish for one night only and to flash my suspenders to Father Vaigret

    Can I suggest the Team Orford gets a group together to climb Everest, as you have more chance to getting to the top of the mountain than you do of winning the TKO.

    Ur the man. There's definately something dodgy from the first 2 games - the numbers of players actually playing  - to the number of walks Tikay gets - to the cards being dealt. We must rise above all of this and show that honesty wins in the end!

    In Response to TEAM ORFORD- THE COMEBACK STARTS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:
    Soldiers of the Orford army! Your leader has returned from an extended period of soul-searching and quiet reflection (and lack of access to the internet!) Firstly- let us address the pain.   2-0.   Let us not beat about the bush- WE WOZ ROBBED. The winner of the tournament was a thoroughbred Orfordite, and once again we went into the final table with more players.   So, how on earth have we lost the first two legs? Here's my theory. Of the 826 official runners, I estimate at least 300 are sit-outs. And I believe the majority of them chose 'No preference’ when it came to deciding their team. I also believe I picked up the majority of these lily-livered lightweights, who then decided not to turn up. This would account for the overwhelming presence of Team Tikayers on the tables and in the forum. What does this mean, my loyal followers?   Two things- one- we are playing with one arm tied behind our backs, BUT- two- and here's the important bit, we’re still giving the massed ranks of Tikayers a run for their money. We take it to the wire every time despite the discrepancy in numbers. THIS means the Orfordites who DO play are playing out of their skins. Pound for pound we’re the better team. Don’t believe me? Ask the suits to release the figures of how many players from each team are actually playing on the night.   I challenge you, Team Tikay- to produce the figures!   At first I was afraid, I was petrified (sorry, got stuck in a Gloria Gaynor groove for a second)- at first I was downhearted- I began to doubt myself - how could we possibly fight this battle when we’ve been unfairly hobbled before we’ve even begun?   But now, I’m warming to the idea that we can stick one back to the enemy, when they KNOW they have us outnumbered. 2-0 down? I like the odds. Let's take the fight to them and give them a few sleepless nights next week. 2-1 will get them thinking. And then ANYTHING can happen. Remember a certain Dennis Taylor who played at the Sky Poker Tour in Manchester? In the 1985 World Snooker final he lost the first SEVEN frames against arguably the greatest snooker player of all time at the very peak of his powers. Well, Taylor went on to clinch the title 18-17, after potting the final re-spotted black. Now, if that can't inspire you. Nothing can. NOTHING is impossible. You want this £1000 free-roll don't you? You want to rub the Tikayers faces in it? You want to restore some pride to our team? Your job then, is to make sure every person on Team Orford is playing on Tuesday night. We need them all, because we will still be outnumbered.   Outnumbered but never outplayed! We have shown that if it was a level playing field we would have owned them. And they know it!   To arms, my fellow soldiers!   Tuesday night it’s all or nothing!!!   The greatest comeback in the history of Sky Poker......IS ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

    Very well said our noble leader. I will do my very best to rally our team every tourney I play. We will not be defeated because of low numbers any longer. So come on Team Rich, lets rally together  show support for your fellow team players for the next three tuesdays and show team tikay who`s the boss! Salute Wonderful Rich our hero!

    Tikay-ites sounds like a rather unfortunate disease!

    The symptoms?

    Your hair turns bottle blonde.

    You develop a fascination with the colour burgandy.

    You fall asleep at random times of day (often while playing poker).

    You stuff the back of your car full of unironed shirts.

    You start to believe that steam trains are interesting.
