A mysterious PM arrives… ‘Interview about performance of Admin/ Health of Sweet FA’
 
Nov 25th
damicky ClarkeM

damicky: Are either or both of you interested?

Clarkey: Yes.

Clarkey: Will there be cheese?

damicky: Always

TiF: Health of the league - Yes
Performance of the admin - Maybe

Haven't been close enough, or plugged in enough to have an informed opinion on the second part.

But happy to chat.

Clarkey: Why is it just us two?

damicky: I thought we could start while waiting for Tiffy Time

TiF: I think Clarkey means why just me and him

Clarkey: Yeah

damicky: (makes editorial decision to completely ignore Clarkey's question and plough on with the interview anyway) With S40 over for our respective Clubs, I decided to catch up with ClarkeM & TheInjuryFactory to discuss the health of the Sweet FA

Thanks for joining me guys

This reminds me of Talking QOOTY and trying to edit a PM with 5 different people into a coherent interview.
I was in that one, and it was waaaaaay less confusing than this one was. 🤣

damicky: How would you rate S40 from an activity & engagement point of view?

damicky: This is going to take a very long time (it's only been maybe 24 hours at this point)


Clarkey: So just confirming you want to do the interview in here and not the 1.5 other PM's we have (and don't have)?

Clarkey: Hello and the pleasure is all TIF's I'm sure.

Clarkey: * earnest response you can read in cheese’s thread *


damicky: Do you want me to create another one?

damicky: While we wait for TIF’s response, I will ask a follow up question to Clarkey (again, it's only been 24 hours and maybe half a day's 'waiting' :tearsofjoy: )

damicky: ClarkeM - the Admin of the Sweet FA is a voluntary position

Due to this, it is frowned upon to criticise anyone who undertakes the role … BUT I sense that you are a bit frustrated by Gralin ’s performance this Season


Clarkey: * earnest response you can read in cheese’s thread *


TiF: I'll take a look at this tonight gents (still the same day just to point that out)

damicky: impatientjimmyfallon.gif (still the same day)

TiF:
Having dinner bruss, it's only half 7 here.

Clarkey: I’m going to bed, I’m tired. Someone come tuck me in?

TiF: Daddy cheese has got your back, and probably your front too.

Clarkey: I note our colour in your brand thread is Cheese, subtle note there to bring the cheese home?

TiF: It's what the colour namer spat out and thought it was rather poetic

TiF: (still the same night) * earnest response butchered in cheese’s thread *

What do you think cheese? You obviously think the same?


damicky: Nobody cares what I think

I am just here to ask the hard hitting questions that have been avoided for too long

You mentioned “stretching the talent a bit too thin”

Should we seriously consider mergers or folding certain Clubs?

How do we attract new Players (other than cold calling)?


TiF: (on the subject of tours taken ‘off the record’ by me, but happy to put it on the record here)

Ok, so going off the record here.

Why didn't it happen? Who do you (not just you specifically, I mean club leaders) think is supposed to make them happen?

When I was in committee with TDC, Baz, Agent, mang etc etc it was the club skippers driving them, the admin just basically gave their blessing to make it an 'official' Sweet FA tour and not just a rogue plague of the Bigfooty forum.

I see no reason why yourself and sportsy, Colorado, tony, Bob, AUR etc etc can't be consistently doing the same now.

That's not an attack by the way, because to be fair to you, that sort of initiative and custodianship would be so foreign to the current crop of skippers because that legacy piece of closely reviewing the rules, debating All-SFA selections, and running club tours and mid season exhibition matches and the like just wasn't passed on down the line.

TIF - I will try again (no idea what we were trying again at this point)

Answer when you can

damicky: (repeats question from day before for some reason)

How do we attract new Players (other than cold calling) when the Board Tours get cancelled?

Clarkey & damicky: * earnest back and forth about admin stuff you can read in cheese’s thread *

damicky: I have given up on you, TIF (I had already answered the day before)

TiF: Mate, you didn't ask me any more questions! Hahaha

Answer what exactly?

damicky: Was that your answer? :tearsofjoy:

damicky: What about mergers/ folding Clubs?

TiF: Did you miss this quip? * quotes quip the cheese missed *

damicky: No … I thought we had gone off on a tangent at that stage

damicky: What about mergers/ folding Clubs? (repeats question from same day this time)

damicky: This is going to need a lot of editing 🤦‍♂️

TiF: firstime.gif

TiF: * earnest answer about not merging clubs you can read in cheese's thread *

TiF, damicky & Clarkey: * bit of earnest back and forth about admin, club, expansion stuff you can read in cheese’s thread *

damicky Do either of you have anything else to add before we break up this party?

Clarkey: Well I’m ready to start the interview now. Let’s go!

TiF: You'll get better at this with practice. Good luck and godspeed. :thumbsu:

TiF, damicky & Clarkey: * bit of stuff I’m not even sure whether it made it in or not, but if it did, you can read it in cheese’s thread *
 
Nov 30th

Clarkey:
So when's the interview starting?

Clarkey: Ready for the first question.

Clarkey: * queries cheese about why the interview came about, but I don’t leak PMs sorry *

damicky: I will edit my response in the Interview
