As proof of committment to Devachat I wpuld suggest the following qualificatioins for the various stages of team involvement

0 - 50 posts You can log onto Devachat FC and view messages from a distance of 20 meters. You can only post between the hours of 0430 and 0445 and NOT on the Devachat board

50 - 100 posts. You can log onto Devachat FC on Devachat but can NOT post anything DCFC related

100 - 200 posts. you are now allowed to reply to Senior Devachat FC members poots but can NOT start topics and must address Senior board members such as Colin Potts as Sir

200 - 300 You can now start Topics but must ask permission to do so off Senior members such as Colin Potts.

100 - 300 posts. You are now allowed to carry kit bags for Senior dDevachatters but must not go within 75 yards of the DCFC pitch

300 - 700 posts. You are now allowed to attend DCFC games but must stand in complete silence and applaud politele only when instructed to by a Senior member ( such as Colin Potts )

700 - 1000 posts. You are now allowed to stand on the touchline and politely applaud at will

1000 - 1200 posts. Chanting is now allowed e.g " You are my Devachat my only Devachat you make me happy when skys are grey you'll never know just how much I love you. So please dont take my Devachat away. Na na na na an OOH na na ...... "

1200 - 1500. You are now allowed to speak to management without addrssing them as Sir.

1500 - 2000 Your first taste of DCFC action. You are allowed to stand on the touchline and if required you can massage all those manly DCFC legs post match

2000 - 2300 posts. You now qualify for the DCFC subs bench. A big day in your DCFC career. You are now edging close to the inner sanctum of DCFC

2300 - 2500 - You are allowed onto the Devachat pitch ! However you must only pass to those who have more posts than yourself and must ask them first if its ok to pass to them

2500 - 2800 - You begin to stamp your authority on the team and can now pass to Senior posters without asking them if you can pass to them.

2800 - 3000 You can now play with increased freedom as stray passes are now no longer punished with death

3000 - 3300 - Nearly there. You are now almost a Full Devachat member and invited to take part in post match Devabonding. Hint, bring your own vaseline.

3300 + posts You are now a fully fledged member of Deva Chat FC and have the authority to scream across the pitch " Mancot Blue you useless lump, you're worse at full back than Carl regan ! !

Congratulations and good luck in your Devachat FC career

That means that at present myself and Mark have 23 players available for first XI duties! More than enough!

Thank you Colin

Can I moninate this for post of the decade?

Pure quality Pottsy. Tek a boo son!!

Yes but of those 23 how many would you class as Better than regan ?

I think potts will qualify for full membership within 2 or 3 days



You can and I'll happily accept the award

Late shifts. They do get a touch boring !

I have seen 8 out of the 23 play football and would happily say they are all better!

I look forward to considering you for team selection Mr Potts

Unfortunately your rule of only selecting Cheter fans may exclude me ?

Although Newcastle got round the red tape by appointing Glen Roeder so anythings possible

But spending 15 hours a day on Devachat must surely count you in Pottsy?

You'd think so wouldnt you ?

I just hope this Phill character doesnt stalk me like the last DevaChat FC manager did.

He was so desperate to get me to make a guest appearance for DCFC that he set up camp outside my house. Every morning for 3 months he was there begging and pleading with me.I had to get a restrianing order put on him in the end
