As we've passed the halfway point, a look back at the draw for Round 2: And while some might feel more confident than others, we can't say for sure who'll go through. Even Deathray has 5 uniques, 13 days to go and stranger things have happened... Teams for Round 2 will be open on Sunday evening when I say so. Some folk will quite possibly, by the nature of the competition, send in a team than crash out in this round. As they say, that's fitba... The closest game so far is a race to face DDT in Round 2 - feels a bit like a poisoned chalice to say the least. Cupset watchers are looking at the MPFC/MK and Pedro/Jiroemon games with interest, imo. Chorizo and Pedro remain the only two cleansheets. Meanwhile myself and Gcreptile, and Joey and GUP have never had of defensive tactics, clearly... Another thought - Heef's performance so far. Wow. He's a newcomer round here, but is currently reminding me of Mr Perfect's line at the 96 Rumble: "Just because you don't know much about someone, doesn't make them an underdog..."

Although, they had songs named "When I'm Gone", "To Say Goodbye" and "Dead Aged 40 from Metastatic Cancer, Oh Shit". There's foreshadowing, and then there's bloody well tempting fate... Reminds me of Zevon. My Shits Fucked Up is a perfect see ya bye song, and clearly, the Reaper thought so too!

Moey Freak. That's such a 2am response...

Hmm, well it worked here - and potentially useful too, I thought - but you need more posters awake to see which of us is the outlier here!

Click on it and see what happens. Testing out the attachment below, but this downloads ...

What didn't work? I'm seeing a downloadable attached file to two of those posts.

The joke would have worked better for Korbid Mid, but the timing has long since gone... When Joey showed up last year, there seemed to be the widespread belief he was a Zorders type or even Zorders himself. Then Caisson showed up, a disguise so flimsy even I saw through it.

Bit early in the week to guess. Someone big may go tomorrow or Thursday after all. That's a hypothetical, not a prediction.

Younger. Ah ok, and I guess if there have been several hits, it's the average age? Yes so for example, Switch would currently beat Rocky on tie break because Joost is younger than Sara Coward. If it's a draw with multiple people it 4-4 or higher, then the lower average age of hits counts.

Don't the Telegraph's obituaries mention the DOB if available, at the very end? Given their obits are paywalled now I can't bother to check but I think that's why it's known. Sara Coward had been treated for breast cancer, but the cancer returned last year and proved inoperable. In January she expressed the hope that the BBC would find another actress to play the role of Caroline as she did not wish her character to be written out of the show. Sara Coward, born January 30 1948, died February 13 2017 Telegraph obit

Younger.

On the day Tom dies, the new isn't going to be broken on Wikifuckingpedia.

Only when it's en vogue.

Same age as Tony.

Oh aye, and... The movie of The Family is pending as we speak - raising A H-B's profile just as palliative care takes her out of the game. Finally, she looks like doing something helpful to another person at her own expense. She's a unique in the Cup too, so if she does go soon, your tie is back wide open again.

Lionel Blair? Did he actually survive the making?

COWARD'S END 5/50 12th February 2017 Long time Archers actress Sara Coward has died aged 69 to give The Crowdsourced Deathlist another success. A regarded stage actress, Coward made her debut on the very long running BBC radio drama in 1977, as Caroline Sterling, and remained until 2016. She asked the BBC to keep her character running after her death, but the Grim Reaper appears to have decided to axe the long running actress from the daily soap opera called life. This was Sara Coward's first appearance on The Crowdsourced Deathlist, which has raked up five hits in the first seven weeks of the year, in a barnstorming performance so far.

Coward's End shakes up some scorelines. Young Willz Thistle Do Nicely v Captain Chorizo 0-4 Maryportfuncity FC v Morbid Kid 2-6 The GUN’11 (Grim Up North) v JoeyRuss 6-4 Deathray v Heef 0-8 Chopped Liver v Death Comes to Wembley (Garn2) 2-4 Shaun of the Dead v Rad Guy 2-4 Charon v The Dead Cow 2-7 The Cooler Name (Switch) v I Might Have to Pull You Off at Half-Time (Rockhopperpenguin) 2-2 Pedro67 v Jiroemon Kimura 4-0 Msc v Gcreptile 4-7 We have leads for Garn and Rad Guy, and an equaliser for Rocky. Meanwhile Pedro opens up a lead on JK, YW's vaunted defence have been breached, and Heef is doing a Germany on Deathray's Brazil so far. As always, keep the ref up to date with more obscure names which might snuff it off his radar.

Angela Lansbury is still alive. Right, that's my sole knowledge of the show used up.

I wouldn't worry about rushing to report deaths. I've been here 7 years and lurked for longer than that, and I find that no matter how quickly you find out about a death, someone on here posts it quicker. I make up for it with a winning smile, bad jokes, and the occasional accidental forum scoop.

If so, another reminder never to doubt the Devonian Prince of Darkness. EDIT - A twinge of deja vu, a swift Google search, and a cite of the hand to Harry Mac. No Led Zeppelining here, oh no...

Re your one hit wonder dude. Word on the tweet backs up Wiki and Lorna's Facebook pals.

The TV one in 2011 snubbed Nick Courtney. I was well pissed off.

It's on wikipedia, too (so it must be true!) Yeah, they don't just cite any old fool...
