msc 18,474 Posted March 18, 2017 Cardinal Vlk has died (and I see TDC has noted this in the time it took me to write this up) which is points for Death Impends too. Seriously guys, we don't want a penalty shootout here! Had a glance around but don't see any other hits. Rad’s Die-monds in the Sky (Rad Guy) vs Bibliogryphon 1-0 The Dead Cow vs Tommy J’s Eleven to Heaven – Or Elsewhere for Nevin (Death Impends) 6-6 Heef vs Death Comes to Wembley (Garn2) 4-1 Maryportfuncity vs 101 Great Practical Jokes with Luciano Re Cecconi (Spade Cooley) 0-3 Captain Chorizo vs The GUN’11 (Grim Up North) 1-1 The Cooler Name (Switch) vs DDT 0-2 Deadsox vs Pedro67 0-0 Rover’s Rovers (Roverandout) vs “O” (gcreptile) 0-6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,976 Posted March 18, 2017 The mirror matching of obscurer hits between Cow and I is definitely shaping up to be the most interesting part of this round, and I'm not just saying that because it's involving my end! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,474 Posted March 18, 2017 Well, hopefully one of the non-both team picks go in the next 13 days, otherwise I'm going to have to do my best Harvey Two Face impression. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dead Cow 620 Posted March 18, 2017 Same goes with John Vennari, his doctors didn't expect him to see his birthday, which was on February 24th, and the bastard's still breathing today. The report on Akhand's health seemed a bit vague to me, the headline said he was in a critical condition, but upon reading the article, it says that he's in a 'very bad condition' and the doctors had 'lost hope of recovery'. That could just mean that his treatment has stopped working and there's nothing they can do, in which case he may well see April. At least, that's what I hope is the case...

Spade_Cooley 9,527 Posted March 20, 2017 Looks like Paul Bruce has passed, but for some reason the press that went big for his "wedding in a hospice" story aren't following up. A bad pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,474 Posted March 20, 2017 He only needs a single mention in any English speaking news source in the world (or the big 2 in France, I would have accepted the top paper in Germany but Gcreptile never told me what it was!). Alan Aspin didn't even get that, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,972 Posted March 20, 2017 Biggest german news source? Well, the Daily Mail equivalent is Bild.de. The more "official" and reliable source might be SPIEGEL online, which might be most similar to the Guardian, except with much higher circulation. We have no equivalent to the BBC. Our public TV isn't that big in the online news department. One could also choose the FAZ, the german equivalent of prestigious conservative papers like the Times or the Telegraph. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Switch 141 Posted March 21, 2017 Made a huge mistake swapping out my trusty goalkeeper McGuinness after first round. Might be decisive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heef 166 Posted March 21, 2017 Rover and Garn with the 2 points for McGuinness. Didn't expect that at all. I reckon Garn has the more likely chance of significant hits before the end of the month now in our tie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted March 21, 2017 I SCORED!!!!!!!! I was only thinking last night that I was destined to end the month goalless and then look at what I wake up to! I fear it is little more than a late consolation but at least I can tell my grandkids of the day I scored in the inaugural Deathlist Cup... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,474 Posted March 21, 2017 Only Garn and Rover seemed to trust my "three months maximum" prognosis for McGuiness, and benefit here.

Grim Up North 3,726 Posted March 21, 2017 As for my tie with Captain Chorizo, Hamilton-Byrne hangs on - can she last another 11 days? If so we might find ourselves tossing off in the early hours of 1st April. I'm presuming in a toss off if the coin lands on it's side then I would win by default?

Nothing to worry folk till later in March, but here's how the route to the Semis looks for everyone in the final 16... Quarterfinals 1. Switch or DDT vs Rad Guy or Bibliogryhon 2. Roverandout or Gcreptile vs The Dead Cow or Death Impends 3. Maryportfuncity or Spade Cooley vs Deadsox or Pedro67 4. Captain Chorizo or Grim Up North vs Heef or Garn2 Reminding myself of the Quarterfinal draw. Also, don't laugh: we're now open for teams for that round. As you can see, all the matches are done and dusted already... I suspect and understand teams will come in near the deadline (31st, midnight, as usual) but I suppose I had to officially open the submission period.

Yeah, well...my current under-performers were a hastily arranged scratch squad after MK's exclusion. Can't see Spade being so trigger happy with his posts but despite the "done and dusted" nature of the current round I might compile a starting XI in case my aged team crumble to dust in the final days. I mean, how much longer can a U Boat captain expect to live? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
