Fantasy League: League of Gentlemen 08/09

League of gentlemen 2008/09 will commence to coincide with the beginng of the Premier League season on the 16th of August 2008. At the time of post, twelve entrants have been confirmed to contest the competition, including reigning champion and many people's favourite Christopher Booth, last years last place finisher and recovering drug addict Patrick Coman, aswell as cousins Jonathan mcGuirk and Keith Langford, both infamous for their parts in recent feuds outside Portlaoise clubbing hotspot, club23.

Among other entrants were Brian Behan who as recently as June toured Europe scouting for talent for his 'Legends' squad, Mark Kehoe who last year caused controversy while appearing on a since deleted youtube video, Tom Behan, who is being touted as a favourite after his impressive showing last year but he is likely to prove unfruitful and his team has allegedly already been subjected to vile hate comments from fellow competitors on the competition forum. Dara Meredith's Old Pound United aquad are also busy preparing for the tough season ahead but rumours continue to circulate that their manager is not fully focused on the task in hand, preferring to cast a wandering eye on the female talent in the area, rather than on his team's talent. Another competitor Tadgh Kearney has dismissed suggestions that he attempted to poison his challengers, Booth, Coman, Behan, McGuirk and Langford, aswell as possible League treasurer Patrick 'Disease' Cronin at a recent barbeque at his Killenard mansion. Barry Donnelly has been gving his team some strong orders, while putting them through their paces at a local army base, but it's not likely that he'll be marching his team to the winner's podium in May 2009. Emo younsters Pauric Booth and Jason Langford make up the twelve competitors thus far, with the latter hoping to climb above his cousin Keith in the rankings, however Pauric is unlikely to manoeuvre a way past his cousin Christopher in his inaugural season.

Another question on eveyone's lips is whether Aidan Kiranne, a strong entrant in last year's league, will return from his adventures stateside, pass a drugs test, a fitness test and compete yet again. Bookmakers have him at 4/5 to join the league while you can back him at 8/1 to be holding the LOG title come next May. Other possible contenders are Conor Kehoe - will he Grace us with his presence this season?, Simon Powell, scouting partner of Behan in Europe aswell as Barry Smith, who, although showing good golfing prowess, is unlikely to trouble the top half of the table. Jonathan Booth may take the place of his uncle Chris senior, who took part last year also.

The winner is destined to take away a large sum of money with participants allegedly paying between 30 and 50euro each for entry.
