2013 Talking Balls Awards Night

[Blue Maniac]

Good evening ladies, gentlemen and others, and welcome to the annual farce that has become known as the Talking Balls Awards. This year has been one of mixed fortune for us TalkingBallsers, but mostly it's been shit. Joe_Fox starting a stupid new betting system that is even more ridiculous than his last one, that game at Watford, and the catastrophic resurrection of the Prediction League have all been memorable lowlights from 2013. I for one can't wait to say good ****ing riddance to this year.

Tonight we honour those who have had an impact on our souls, those who make us cry on the inside with their inane comments, petty e-scuffles and absurd gambling tactics. Without further delay, let's hand out some awards!

 

[Blue Maniac]

First award to hand our tonight is the Insider of the Year award.

Of the handful of people who bothered to vote, only three could even think of a joke answer in this category so we have a three way tie.

This increasingly irrelevant award is shared this year by Joe_Fox, Ian Stringer and Bert

Bring on 2014

Pitiful shambles

 

[Blue Maniac]

Next up is our Most Improved Poster award, and we have another shared prize.

Single votes for Blue Maniac, Nightguard, Boy Genius (banned a long time ago) and a joint vote for highland fox and Melton Fox, neither of whom have posted since 2009

Very good!

 

[Blue Maniac]

Approximately 80 per cent of Talking Balls is running jokes, and we have an award to recognise their influence: The Running Gag of the Year award.

Single votes for Joe_Fox's betting system, 'Nice', and Pea son / Piss on etc

But the clear winner this time around is spion's playlists

 

[Blaarev]

Nice

 

[Blue Maniac]

It makes sense to have a Thread of the Year award. Even so, I nearly eliminated it from the list. But I didn't. I wish I had, I'm bored already.

Single votes for The Jug Thread, TB Awards thread, Pre-match Blackpool away, Pre-match Coalville, New Prediction League (the whole thing), Joe_Fox betting system

The winning thread, with two votes, is "Club Finances - WOW!"

 

[Jeff]

Nice

You won't say that when Spion turns up with his mobile disco.

 

[Blue Maniac]

The next award is for the Best Image Contributor - which these days is a pretty shit thing to win.

Single votes this year for DesertFox, gettyimages, Mawsley and Motown Fox

This year's winner, with two votes...

I think we need an independent check on the pixels

 

[Blue Maniac]

The Best Avatar award, won in recent years by Cate and SJN, is another one that seems completely pointless these days. Even more so than the rest.

Single votes for Arightfilbert, Jeff, MKFox, SJN, and tedfoxxx

The winner, with two votes....

No, I won't! At least he's stopped howling ICP now. That's nice.
