Venturian Media Buy.at Football Title Hopes Hit

The eagerly awaited buy.at football tournament kicks off in London town on Friday with current holders Venturian Media’s players dropping like flies! Last seasons goalkeeper and the tournaments oldest player is missing due to work commitments and key midfielder Stuart “Mad Dog” McDermott got injured in a 7 a’side encounter on Monday which will rule him out for up to 4 weeks (although he reliably tells me his drinking arm will still be fully operational!).

Last years tournament was well organised, a great laugh and importantly the football was played in (mostly!) good spirit and we are looking forward to meeting a few old friends. Check out some of the action below taken from Fraser’s excellent affiliate blog.

A brief run down on the lads that have managed to make up this years team :

Neil “Nasal” McDermott
Will be looking to build on last years performance as injured goal hanger extraordinaire (although hopefully without the injury). He is a Director at VM and head of all web builds and UK relationship management.

Alister “Slinky” McDermott
Upset he didn’t win player of the tournament, this self professed arrogant sod “starred” in Brits Behind Bars  (well for the 15 minutes he could take in prison) with current Big Brother loser Mario. A cultured defender and big unit to boot, he is head copywriter based out of our UK office.

Chris “Pinchy” Pinches
Rumours that Chris was hired purely on his footballing abilities have so far proved unfounded. This beast of a man never stops running and will be praying it doesn’t go to penalties with his record! A top graphic designer who is involved heavily in the branding of our websites.

Ben “Sloppy” Cockburn
DGM’s very own head of something technical, Ben was a late call up to the squad but he will be keen to get one over on the DGM heavy CK Net team. We’ve been reliably informed (by himself) that he is fit and can play in a number of positions which will prove very useful as the tournament progresses.

Murray Gascoyne
Another late call up due to the injury to Mad Dog, he is in mainly for his willingness to drive to London and his ability to hold the midfield, and his own in the bar.

Special Guest
Venturian Media have booked a special star guest who (surprisingly for someone in affiliate marketing) used to work for DGM. With his hectic social life, whether he turns up or not is a different matter!
