The teams are up for next week - thanks to Foxy for picking them. Final game of the season on pitch 7 - hmmm, cold, hard sandpaper covered concrete! Lovely stuff!
The teams are also up for the first match of next year. There is a good chance that things will change by the 5th so bring both kinds of top if you have them.
That's it for this year then! Have a good Chrimbo and a cracking New Year and be ready to sweat those mince pies and roast tatties off in the January!
Ho ho ho!

Fitbaw Awards
Originally uploaded by cocovan.
Well I don't know about you guys, but I thought last night went quite well! Thanks very much for all coming out and helping to drink the kitty. When I got home last night, there was a whole £1 left in my pocket from it!
Thanks also very much for my smashing Sampdoria top - it's a cracker and a perfect fit for my manly frame too!
In caes anyone missed any of the awards last night, here's the list and reasons why people won what. If anyone wants an electronic version of their award (maybe you'd like to set it as your desktop to let the whole world know?) then send me an email and I'll get your award to you.
Enjoy the game tonight! I'll be at home playing with my new £30 GameCube - w00t!
Si:
The Crap Injury Award - He ran, he fell over and that was it. No one tackled him, no one ran into him - he just fell over and that was that. He ain't played for 20 weeks. Si!
Tom:
The Thunderbolt Award - Goes to the player with the mightiest shot. Martie, Gordon and Creeky all have a lethal shot on them but none of them can match the awesome power on display when Tom winds up that right toe of his!
Luke:
Lucky Dip of Excuses - Does he have them all pre-thought or does he think them up on the spot. From "I'm blind" right the way through to "I can't play on Wednesday because I have a chess match on the Tuesday", Luke has missed the most number of games with the worst number of reasons.
Neil:
Terrible Haircut of the Year - Contenders are Stu (mullet), Martie, (gay hair band) but goes to Neil for his "magic" ponytail/comb-over.
Martie:
The Left foot of the Year - It must be so good as he's scared to use it against us.
Michael:
Hack of the Year - Not that Michael is a dirty player. We refer of course to his journalistic style in the match reports.
Stuart:
Most Improved Player of the Year - Nothing to do with footballing skills - he just looks less offensive now without the ginger bush and the mullet. A vast improvement.
Gordon:
The Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Award - Like the man this award is named after, this person has proved themselves to be more than able to come off the bench and slot into any team. He also normally proves to be better than the person he normally replaces!
Craig:
The Bulldozer Award - as wide as a fitbaw goal and with pace like a whippet, there no man more like to come charging up the wing, straight at you and then right over the top. He's also managed to be involved in broken toes, snapped ankles and twanged hammies without actually managing to injure himself.
Christian:
The Multi-hinged Limbs of the Year - Could be Alan, but for his ability to steal the ball from your feet whilst standing on the other side of the pitch, Big Creeky wins the award.
Foxy:
The Ally McCoist Award - Not since the glory days of the genius that was Ally McCoist have we seen such unashamed poaching on the park. Is it that he has the ability to read the game well or is it coz he's just getting on in years? I'm sure Foxy will be proud to receive an award named after his hero!
Alan:
Player of the Year - Only a few have topped the league (Martie, Foxy, Luke(?)) but one man has remained there for 99% of the time. King Midas, The Rock in defence, the lowest scorer of goals! ALAN!

I want you all nice and early to bed so you're all rested and up for tomorrow night's inaugural Fitbaw Xmas Night Oot chaps. 6pm at the Hog's Head up the side of George Square - the later you're there, the less kitty there'll be! A few beers, a bite to eat, followed by a few stupid awards.
Big Martie has picked the teams for this week even though he's not playing. He's off to Ibrox as is Stuart. Big Alan is back as is Loook but I'll have to miss this week's coz my hammy is still knackered. Scott and Karl will be filling in.

Teams are now up - thanks to Neil for selecting them this week. He's selected people that haven't played together for a while and also based the teams on current form rather than rankings to make things a bit different.
UPDATE - Stuart's out this week with work stuff. The usual reserves are either playing already or unavailable. This leaves a gap for young Karl to make his second appearance! Neil has re-picked the teams accordingly.

Well last night wasn't the best of games but at least it was close which does make it exciting - well played to Creeks for top selecting skillz. To be fair, we've played over 40 games and there's not been any fisticuffs yet (yet!).
Next week is the last game before the night out so last chances to move up the leaderboard. Neil is going to be team selector - I'll confim the squad next week so team won't be up til then.
Cheers to Creeks for doing the MOTMpoll. Please go vote!
