Kelong! Manager speaks of loose gaps

In an unexpected twist of events, rumours and allegations of match-fixing have just been unceremoniously confirmed by manager, Juriani Saini of Sugarush TFC. Juriani, affectionately known as Ju has been captured on facebook, blurting out that she will position herself 'as a middle' in the upcoming 6 pack versus All-Stars game this weekend(1.20pm), allowing for her fantasy captain to enter and "score in her gaps".

Is she applying the screw to the Fantasy league as well?



Scoring In my gaps
Now if this phrase were to be taken literally, then we think that you're truly in for a helluva treat this weekend. However that takes sheer audacity to do in the middle of the pitch and we can less excitedly presume that JU meant scoring through gaps around her. Nonetheless, the statement must now be considered as overwhelming evidence of foul play.

The fact that the young manager is perched on top of the competition further plagues the fantasy league with increased rumours about how the relatively inexperienced Ju, worked her way up past her colleagues within the first two weeks of the league.

The Caleb Ong Defense


"I did no wrong. I was there because clearly boys being boys they don't carry a water bottle to every game. And girls being beings we are very caring so it's a natural action to offer drinks for the poor boys."-Juriani Saini, 22, youngest female fantasy manager when questioned by members of the press.

Only just a few days ago, Ju's integrity was questioned by writer Adam Chan over her extravagant gifts of water to Fantasy captain Caleb. Her swift response to accusations seemed empathetic, innocous and strong, that is untill her latest outburst betrayed her claims of innocence. 

Examining her response, one can identify two areas of  doubt:
1) There were other players who weren't in posession of water bottles. But did not receive similar treatment.
2) "Boys Being Boys" and "Girls being Beings"?-The Insanity defence?


A cause to worry
This is a manager with close associations to several players and is now according to her, scandalously linked to SuperHeroes Teamate, Taufiq Asari. Which might explain his lack of presence at the after game sessions at Picotin. It might be a cause of worry, but rest assured Fantasy 6-pack are monitoring the players and like Justice Chan mentioned, all players implicated will stand trial before a jury of their beers and be given a fair execution.

 
As for Ms Juriani Saini, 22, though the evidence is piling up, we leave it to you, her fellow Fantasy Managers, friends and fans to watch and analyse the game, judge and then punish her adequately.

Exclusive: Interview with DOTD Terence Toh

In last week's fantasy tips, Terence Toh was highlighted as one of the players to watch. And watch we did, albeit for just 8 minutes as 'Camel' Toh was sent off because of a technicality. This interview hopes to let Terence clear his name in his own words. Enjoy!

Fantasy Friday- Weekly Digest

Thank God for Fantasy Fridays!!! On fridays, we bring you the latest news about players, their girlfriends, their injuries, their girlfriend's injuries, availability and all the latest touch football celebrity gossip! We begin this day of all days with some troubling news. Are there cracks appearing at the apex of the 6-pack molehill?

About a day ago, the powers that be, came down hard on this poor and fragile writer, demanding that I use a hyphen-also called dash to those who aren't familiar-when using the term 6-pack. Now whether or not, the omission of a hyphen constitutes a telling off with numerous exclaimation marks and the word 'blardee' which one can safely interpret as 'bloody', its hard to say. Displaying the autocratic leadership, the powers that be immediately shut Lee Yum Hwa down when he jumped in to protect this author's creative independence. Now while everyone including myself enjoys watching an old school bollocking of Lee, I'm afraid to say that Yum's question is a fair one and that 6-pack will still be pronounced as 6-pack no matter the hyphen and that Yum Wa just doesn't sound right.


Cross your ts, dot your Is, and dash your hyphens!

Surely, we have matured and moved beyond the hyphen and isn't it true that the hyphen is just an elevated and poorer cousin to the Underscore which is the preferred choice of the present?

Now We here at Fantasy Fridays offer you, the reader, the chance to get creative with our name. Can you come up with a design/name that will still be pronounced as 6-pack and yet be suitable  for this day and age?
Please put your suggestions in the chatbox located at the right. The winner will be treated to a fine lunch @ Yum's house. I'm taking 6^pack, get your own.
