Oy vey

[deadsox 894]

I just pm'd my team to msc for the March round.  Congratulations and good luck Pedro67.

[msc 18,474]

Shaun of the Dead or RAD GUY vs BIBLIOGRYPHON

Charon or The Dead Cow vs Death Impends

Deathray or Heef vs Chopped Liver or GARN2

MARYPORTFUNCITY vs Spade Cooley

Young Willz or Captain Chorizo vs Grim Up North or JOEY RUSS

Switch or Rockhopperpenguin vs ddt

DEADSOX vs Pedro67 or Jiroemon Kimura

Roverandout vs MSC or gcreptile

 

teams in caps have sent in teams for Round 2.

[Joey Russ 7,228]

What if you lost your round, but your opponent doesn't send their teams in. Does the other team advance forward or will the opponent receive a bye? 

[msc 18,474]

If that happens, I groan.

 

Otherwise, I believe we now have a Maryport Convention...

Aye, now there's an idea. Harbourfront pints followed by a stagger round the Sea Life Centre and chips on the harbour. Hotel prices are quite reasonable thereabouts though travel to and from might involve our American cousins in giving up well over a day at either end.

[msc 18,474]

Kaufman gives us some last minute scoring. That might be a KO blow for Joey, whereas Deathray finally gets on the scoresheet.

1. Young Willz Thistle Do Nicely v Captain Chorizo 0-4
2. Maryportfuncity FC v Morbid Kid 2-8
3. The GUN’11 (Grim Up North) v JoeyRuss 8-4
4. Deathray v Heef 2-8
5. Chopped Liver v Death Comes to Wembley (Garn2) 2-6
6. Shaun of the Dead v Rad Guy 2-4
7. Charon v The Dead Cow 2-9
8. The Cooler Name (Switch) v I Might Have to Pull You Off at Half-Time (Rockhopperpenguin) 4-2
9. Pedro67 v Jiroemon Kimura 7-2
10. Msc v Gcreptile 4-7

[Joey Russ 7,228]

Fuck me sideways...

[gcreptile 10,972]

I think almost all of my predictions came true (so far). Though I did not foresee that MPFC would advance because of a forum ban.

I had Pedro vs. Jiroemon as a tie though. That was wrong.

Gerald Kaufman is the second candidate on my next team to die in the past week. I hope I can submit something later today.

I think I just did 

[Heef 166]

My team's ready to go, but I'll be sending it tomorrow night as I'm having an internal debate between two potential candidates.

[msc 18,474]

A BBC radio presenter, Andy Potter, has died. This was a unique hit for Garn's Death Comes to Wembley. I suspect if Potter had lived another few hours, he wouldn't have been unique in March, but these things happen.

Biggest miss for me is Jay Clark as I decided to pick against him thinking he would only be worth 1 point,but he had no takers.

And he died too

 

Although can't find an obit yet.

Completely selfish statement: it would be quite useful to me if he didn't get a DDP QO.

Could go either way: he got Sun, Mirror and Metro stories with the original news of his illness (and managed a follow-up via the Mirror as well), but the story came via one of those "tragedy for sale" press agencies that usually supply Take A Break/That's Life et al with their features, rather than in-house. Honestly couldn't call it either way whether he gets the write up.

[Bibliogryphon 9,583]

If MK had submitted a team prior to his misdemeanor would he have progressed?

[msc 18,474]

Yes.

[Joey Russ 7,228]

Not saying it's the only reason I probably lost, but one of the reasons I lost was because we were playing only 4 against each other (and the other 7 were the same!) and 2 of his 4 differentials have died, whereas none of mine have died.

In other words, because 2 of your 11 guys died in 27 days?

3. Remember, Aspin didn't obit.

I was trying to forget! Hah.

[Grim Up North 3,726]

If I do win I must thank Joey for making this win such a pleasurable one.

 

Even down to wanting to publish his team of losers for the next round so we can all 'see how they do'.

[DevonDeathTrip 2,358]

I'm so busy at the moment (hand-rearing a mutant lamb amongst other things)  that I haven't given this much thought.  

 

Very, very impressed with the scores some teams have racked up this month.
