TST

Starting a thread for the TST in early June, not long now.
Understand it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I’m looking forward to this. Will be good to see JJ representing Burnley and something fun/lighthearted after a depressing season.
Excited to see who JJ & Kealia will have lined up to play for us. Hopefully we can give it a good go and progress in to the latter stages.
All games free to stream.

18 players in the squad
7-a-side
20 minute halves
Game must end on a goal, so…
At FT all games go in to an unlimited period of ET. If the winning team score next they win, if they don’t the losing team can keep scoring until they score 1 more than the opponents goal tally at FT (e.g. a team losing 5-3 at FT could win 5-6).
$1m prizes for both teams which presumably goes to the players.

If we do I fancy our chances next season in Group C against AU Vodka Swans and Tobacco Road FC. It will all depend on closed season decisions though of course.

At risk of seeming to be way out of the loop, is this a video game?

Expect one or two UK YouTubers/content creators in the squad but not necessarily ones who support Burnley.

We can but I’ve heard other teams are due points deductions so we stand a better chance of staying up this year

Was thinking of going but we play at 830am and 6pm on Wednesday and in the evening on Thursday so you’d have to pay for 3 sessions at circa $40 a session
(plus travel hotel etc). The last game is on ESPN as it’s against McAfees team I think.
Anyway team news is in : Watt, Watt, Simm, Ingleby, Juliet Bravo, McKellen, Anderson, DeFour, Duff, North, Kettley, Fishwick, Milltown Brothers, Chumbawamba

Anyone know which teams the players come from? Is it under 21’s or something? Or have I missed the point completely - are they fans?

Our actual team actually looks quite strong.
JJ Watt, Kealia Watt, Marvin Bartley, Matt Briggs, Ethen Vaughan, Connor King, Vizeh, Chris Eagles, Marcel Lewis, Marvin Sordell, Renaldo Torraj and Terratep Winothai.
The coaches are Paul Jenkins (head coach), Richard Jackson and Charlotte Staines

It is Seven 'A' Side - so I would imagine JJ Watt and Vizeh will anchor things at the back. Eagles given a free role floating behind the legendary Terratep Winothai. Eagles better on the wing but VK will prefer to see him in a 'number ten' role. Sordell as the 'impact sub'. Plenty of options for legendary former Premier League assistant manager Paul Jenkins to play with.

To be fair, i said it was a strong side due to knowing only 4 players from the other 3 teams in our group combined.

Winothai has 16 goals at international level with Thailand - what a random addition to this squad! Sounds like a bit of fun if not taken too seriously.

Really?
Although I shouldn’t be surprised. Seems to me that the podcasters just moan a lot these days which is probably why I have no interest in listening to them, so sort of tally’s that they wouldn’t be interested in something I’m looking forward to.

Women's 'Burnley' team is also announced - not a single player from the Burnley women's team. US-based team. JJ Watt's sister-in-law on the team and a You Tube free-style player with 1.7 million instagram followers.

I assume that would be due to our women’s team not wanting our professionals to play in a celebrity 7 a side in case of serious injury. Just like no men’s first team players are in the men’s TST team.

Several youth team/development players in the men's squad - Marcel Lewis etc. Would have been a nice experience for some of the women's players to go out there - but I guess it's not about them.

Well it has given you something else to moan about.
Let's hope the people involved in this at least wear a tie.

Yes it is - but we are sending several young professionals in our squad - alongside the former players and the celebrities like JJ Watt and Vizeh.
We must be chasing that $1 million prize

My mistake, I though Marcel Lewis had left us. He's the only one still with the club though isn't he?
