msc 18,479 Posted March 31, 2018 Right, then. The Penalty Shootout Sean (Heads) vs Charon (Tails)- - Tails, Charon goes 1-0 up. - Heads, Sean levels it. - Heads, Sean goes 2-1 up - Heads, Sean wins 3-1. - Bad luck to Charon. Joey Russ (heads) v Grim Up North (tails) - Joey heads, Grim tails - Tails, Grim leads 1-0 - Heads, Joey equalises 1-1 - Tails – Grim leads 2-1 - Heads, 2-2. - Next flip wins it. - Heads, Joey wins 3-2 - Bad luck to Grim. Commiserations to Rad, charon, Grim Up North, Death Impends, Roverandout, Gcreptile, Chorizo and, err, me. Better luck next year? 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted March 31, 2018 Wow, I was expecting to lose in the coin toss, but looks like luck was on my side today. We’re even now Grim. Bit of a shame too, cause I had a feeling you were the better team next month too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,479 Posted March 31, 2018 Oh yeah, one more thing! Well done, @deadsox. I avoided the 20-0 thumping, but the superior team won out over the month. Best of luck in the next round. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deadsox 894 Posted March 31, 2018 I'm very happy to have edged msc. Thanks to him for his sportsmanship and for running a fun tournament. Best of luck to Young Willz. It should be an exciting April. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted March 31, 2018 Sir Creep, I know you said that you were dissatisfied with your line up next round, but that looks like a team that could do very well, especially since you cancel out two of my strongest, Manan and Da-Ren. I could easily see a high scoring match between the both of us tbh, or I could see you bumping me very hard... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted March 31, 2018 Just noticed I got 7 uniques. I’ll admit, Mahmoud Abbas was the primary wild card pick, as there’s just one (likely false) article on declining health. Felt like I needed one this round. Though I’m slightly surprised no one else went for Le Duc Anh or Charlotte Rae... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Statistically, you and Sean have the best defence so far. 0 conceded in 2 rounds so far. DDT has 0 in 1 round. Most Conceded 1. Dead Cow 13 2. Heef 9 3. Sir Creep 6 4. Joey 6 5. Deadsox 6 6.

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted March 31, 2018 @DevonDeathTrip Fair play, I'm pleased not to get trounced. Precisely none of Spade's transfers paid off unfortunately, but neither did anyone I'd have put in instead. Feel it's been a tough month all round with not much to choose - good luck in the quarter finals! Maybe next year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cup team Sergei Skripal Ray Wilkins Jim Brogan Brian Shivers Jose Jose Fernando Ricksen Johnny Hubbard Peter Slaski Robin Herd Albert Dryden Vivienne Howlett. Howlett was the Claudia Fontaine related pick I had hinted at. Fontaine moved in to look after her, and died a fortnight later herself. Obit chances are iffy but you take your chances...
