Re: Poaching

I am about to unleash a great big can of worms ... I have read with interest here and over varying different social media people's thoughts on "poaching" players. I find this concept difficult to comprehend due to the fact that as far as I'm aware no one is contractually obliged to a team. Now I know the next thing you will harp on about is 'etiquette', we have this at the tables but how far does it stretch to teams, should that really include forcing someone to stay in a team that they no longer feel suits them, or stop team members that want to spread their wings and maybe start their own team taking a few mates with them? No...this is what keeps the whole thing fluid and dynamic and increases competition (or maybe that's what people are scared of). If these players want to leave then they should be allowed to go, most of them where invited to join a team with a little pillow talk and if that's what's now blinkered them to try the greener grass then hey, let them go, no hard feelings and bygones will be bygones. I await the inevitable backlash.

    You know there's no such thing as a "Can of Worms" right?...although you can get them in a little plastic tubs in most fishing tackle shops. The lids usually have little holes in them so they can breath and come to no harm.......we then stick a hook in them and feed them to the fish :)

    Back away from the Vodka and get to bed young man, else your gonna be grounded for being up late again :)

    LOL,  n1 Trev!!

    My View is players can represent any team they choose, if accepted by that team, or indeed start their own!!!

     .....but I feel changing teams is a sensitive area, and should be handled with mutual respect, by both the Player leaving, the Joining Team & also the leaving Team !!

    GL ALL!!

    SKY TEAMS FTW!!!

    Hull Player, David Dearlove joined Hitsquad back in Jan...

    One Monday 6/7 weeks ago, he was on mi table, and started messaging me for advice on players, he had hardly ever messaged me before, but had proved high maintenance & I was unsure of him!!

    This coaching soon deteriated to outrite collusion, which is against DTD & THS ethic, he instigated all, and I was uncomfortable ending up ignoring messages.

    I reported this at time & next day to TWO respected Sky People & to DTD admins, & some trusted team capos, who may confirm if they wish!

    There are Wrong 'uns amongst us, be careful.

    Apparently sky cannot do much about FB messages they say..


    Anyway, 2 days later David joined outlaws, SHOCK, but has been threatening me with this since, & today, if I never put him back in FOSP group after he resigned..

    O well!!


    Like you said in one of 20 pms to me tonite just before DTd mate..

    your words..

    " I see you at next DTD SPT live Big man"

    .....yup looking forward to it already Son!


    as for Sams accusations, well, I think a few are losing the plot in here maybe!!


    Manys DTD tonight was spoiled by a couple of poor examples in table chat...

    just one I was messaged..

    ""Hullplayer: ts are you hitsquad
    › Beginning a new hand (894,222,410)
    Tsaaaar: aye
    › coolmark has won 10,500 chips
    Hullplayer: same your a good guy lol
    › Beginning a new hand (894,222,589)
    22:47› TheMuckr has won 13,500 chips
    Tsaaaar: lol
    › Beginning a new hand (894,222,751)
    Hullplayer: your captain is a complete D I CK THOU
    › TheMuckr has won 15,000 chips with Pair of Queens QcQsAh9h6c
    › Beginning a new hand (894,223,199)""

    Any Hitsquaddie or DTD'er who really knows me, will confirm I protect the DTD ethic & honesty at all times!

    This was a pre-planned attempt at smearing me, I & others know!

    I Move on really knowing certain peoples agendas now.
